OFFice/OFFbase/OFFworld 1.0.6 now available!

[+Lothar of the Hill People]

Hey fellow OFFers, version 1.0.6 of OFFice with OFFbase/OFFworld is now available at Combat Ace. Get the full download, or just the smaller update if you already have 1.0.2 or later installed.

This release contains some important bug fixes and improvements. Full change-log below. And if you'd like to join OFFworld Phase I -- essentially multiplayer OFFbase, send me a PM. Having other real humans in your squadron is pretty cool.

 

OFFice and OFFbase:

• Updates to squadron personal are now logged and squadron data archived daily, and this history of your campaign can be reviewed the Adjutant's Office. Reputation-based promotions are now automatic instead of having to apply for them from the Adjutant.
• More bug fixes! And a few GUI refinements, including seeing photos of squadmates when choosing someone to encounter, and buttons to cleanly and safely delete individual pilots or entire squadrons.
• Added the expanded encounter help advice to the Tips system so they can be browsed individually on the OFFramp Tips & Tricks page. Added a button there to submit tips. A few more edits to encounters themselves.
• Updated OFFset profiles for NVIDIA/AMD graphics cards for modern systems (assumes more than 256MB RAM). Run OFFset, click Import, and choose the profile for your card manufacturer.
• Rebalanced observation balloons and set more historically-reasonable damage for Le Prieur rockets.

OFFworld:

• New interface for communicating with human squadmates in the Mess Hall, allowing you to check status and engage in enconters at will. Squadron history is shared between users, giving notification of the outcome of other players' missions.

You know, bless your heart for all you've been putting into this!  I D/L'd .06 (or some pre-1.0 version) and never had a chance to install it - then 1.03 and again, no time, and now you're up to 1.06!  Gaa!  I need some time for flying!  And for CONFIGURING the flying!

Thanks for including the error message, don. Easy for me to fix when I have that REBOL console info. I'm out of town at the moment and don't have access to my build system, but can make a quick&dirty patch:

 

Unzip this file into your OFFice\includes\ folder. It'll be found wherever you installed OFFice, typically C:\OBD Software\.

 

Let me know if that helps! You might also try deleting the entire OFFice folder and reinstalling 1.0.6 then applying this patch.

Update to version 1.0.7 is now available, including this fix along with several others and some other improvements. Most notable addition is a collection of airfield maps and photos composed by Olham. If you're stationed at any of the following airfields, you'll view the new graphics from your OFFbase Hangar: Boistrancourt, Brayelles, Coolkerke, Koksijde, Lagnicourt, Toulis, and Vert-Galant:

 

 

Apply this update to OFFice 1.0.2-1.0.6. A full download of 1.0.7 will be available once CA gets the kinks worked out of the system upgrade.
