Just a word to say that we have successfully integrated a new icons system into XTac v2.0 beta. You will be able to choose any kind of image (jpg, png, gif and swf) to symbolize XTac's objects (teams, player's waypoints, actions)... We will include two sets of icons from famfamfam.com (Mark James) and one set specially designed for FPS's into the final v2.0 release.

The new autoupdate process is now fully working in our latest development build. It checks whether your have the latest version or not. If a new build is available you are asked if you want XTac to update itself. Then XTac downloads the new version and, when done, it restarts automatically.

We are now focusing on these points:

• bug fixes
• new graphic and sound objects
• user interface improvements

We are not ready to open a beta test these days so you'll have to wait a bit...

We have released a new version (1.1.0.468) to correct this bug. Now you can create up to 16 teams, 16 players per team and 128 waypoints per player.

You can grab the new build from this link.

Hi Fallout and welcome to this forum !

This seems to be a bug. We are working on a fix right now and we expect a new release tonight.

Thanks for catching this one.

I keep getting an error message saying that I've reached that maximum limit of players for a team but I only have 3 of them. Is this right? Can't I change this max limit?]]> Wed, 11 Jun 2008 02:45:36 +0000 http://www.tacticalcoders.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15&PID=14#14 http://www.tacticalcoders.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14&PID=13#13 Author: Clovis

Working on XTac 2...

Some weeks ago we have announced the release of XTac v1.2. As we were working on this update we have decided to change our plans. We've made so many major improvements to the tactical engine that the next version could not be considered as a simple 1.x branch anymore. Actually, we've completely rewritten files read/write process and how objects are constructed to get even more flexibility and perfomances.

Here is what is better in the current beta version :

• uses 30% less memory.
• reads big maps and tactics with a lot of objects faster than before.
• makes a .tfm (map file) in 7 clicks from any image (jpeg), directly from XTac (XTac MDK is now part of XTac).
• plays a tactic directly into XTac like a movie (XTac Player is now part of XTac).
• contains a new object: text area.
• shows the team's or player's name on selection.

Here is what we plan to introduce into the next betas :

• new objects: flag, sound (mp3).
• custom icons for teams, players and actions.
• improved autoupdate (auto-download, auto-install)
  

For the moment beta versions are only for internal testings but we may open a public beta test within a few weeks.

Posted: 04 Jun 2008 at 23:28

We have to apologize concerning XTac v1.1.458 that ceased to work after 24 hours of use with a big red alert. Our team made a mistake during the build process of this version.

This is why we released XTac v1.1.459 as soon as we discovered the bug.

Download the new version here.

Tactical Coders are working on the next update of XTac 1.x.

The most requested feature for XTac 1.2 is the ability to use custom images for teams, players and actions. Then comes : save tactics on the server, simple flags (to show important locations on the map), option to permanently show player's actions, option show player's name above its last waypoint...

We are also working on another way to make XTac Servers more secure (though there is no real security problem). This will impact XTac, XTac Server and tacticalcoders.com. This security update will probably be published as XTac 1.1.1 before the release of XTac 1.2.

XTac 1.2 is awaited around may '08 whereas XTac 1.1.1 will be published before the end of april '08.

Feel free to tell us your what are your "tactical wishes"
