Grey Lotus

I have a new version I could make a build for, if I had a PC to build it on. I’m on vacation at my mom’s house, and I only have my laptop and a G5 iMac to work with. So, patience… I’ll post another MektonHelper soon. I’ve fixed a couple minor bugs while adding some small features, too.

No big changes here, none at all in the Windows version. This is just an update to post the Mac version of MektonHelper, in fact. The Mac version has a few tweaks to make it easier to run on smaller monitors and laptops, plus a couple of very minor bugfixes. These will all be rolled into 0.7 for the next Windows release, but in a more complete form(scrollviews for every tab, etc)

Bugfix release. I’ve started using this program in earnest to get my game going, so I’m noticing bugs. This fixes:

• Spaces not updating when Ammo table is updated.
• Ammo doesn’t track for handheld weapons correctly.
• Energy Pool tab not always updating correctly on load.
• Propulsion tab sometimes(heh… usually) crashes when clicked after a load.

Hopefully this will take care of the must-fixes before the next release.

Bit of a gap here, mostly due to some coding burnout.  In fact, this release doesn’t even have Weapon Mating, which I’d originally planned on adding this time.  Not to say it doesn’t have some improvements: bug fixes galore, ECM/ECCM, Energy Pools, Weapon Linkage, Remotes(though missing remote adding… that’s next release), more multiplier systems, and a little addition that adds flavor text to weapons as tooltips, though that requires redoing spec files. Old spec files will work fine, they just won’t have the flavor text.

I’ve set the next release for about 2 weeks away, due to holidays and travel. I hope to have at least a simple Transformations tab by then, but it’s a more complex problem.  Also, I might do a Mac version then.

I didn’t feel too good this past weekend, so the next release of MektonHelper will be delayed until sometime later this week, whenever the code itch comes back.  This release is mostly finished, though, so it shouldn’t take too long. Features in this release include Hydraulics, Power Plant modifiers, Weapon Linkage, Energy Pools, and maybe Weapon Mating if I get around to it. Energy Pools and Remotes are almost finished as of now, though the interface is still a bit clunky. Weapon Mating is the only thing that I haven’t really started yet.
