ArmyCalc important news. http://armycalc.com/phorum/list/26 Sun, 20 May 2012 08:48:26 +0200 Phorum 5.2.11 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/316/316/_subject_#msg-316 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/316/316/_subject_#msg-316 armycalc.com has just been moved to new, a lot faster web server.

This should fix the problem of very slow army lists generation.
Hopefully, all server side tasks that were killing the old machine will now work flawlessly.

New server software configuration have been briefly tested. If we missed anything and you will meet any technical /access problems, please report them. We are sorry in advance.

Using this occasion we would also like to inform you that there are some software works in progress. A small surprise is up to come.
Please keep in touch.]]> admin News Fri, 24 Jun 2011 13:31:13 +0200 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/146/146/_subject_#msg-146 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/146/146/_subject_#msg-146
Full list of changes:

• support for TWR 2.0. All new rulesets from catalogue and created online can be used with new version.
• rulesets from open catalogue (Infinity,Warmachine,user's rulesets) were added to release.
• server communication. ArmyCalc can connect to server and check for new version. Also after entering your armycalc.com username and password you can instantly upload army to your online collection.
• Branding. To avoid confusion, ArmyCalc's Eye (ACE) from now on will be simply called 'ArmyCalc - desktop application' or simply 'ArmyCalc'.

Linux and Windows versions are available to download at this page. Mac OS package is waiting to be rebuilded.

Please note that this is still a 'BETA' version. However it is fully functional.]]> admin News Sun, 02 May 2010 04:40:33 +0200 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/111/111/_subject_#msg-111 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/111/111/_subject_#msg-111 There is only one ruleset for this game jet. Please test it well.

We also have a kind request for all users.
Please take a look at this forum thread and vote in the poll.
This will help us decide which army and which game should be added to AC next.]]> admin News Mon, 29 Mar 2010 03:45:04 +0200 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/95/95/_subject_#msg-95 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/95/95/_subject_#msg-95

This editor requires editing XML files :(
For detail refer to Making Rulesets document which will be updated soon.]]> francio News Sun, 17 Jan 2010 00:37:08 +0100 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/80/80/_subject_#msg-80 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/80/80/_subject_#msg-80 Corvus Belli, armycalc will be updated with officially supported rulesets for Infinity. Testing versions for 'Pan Oceania' and 'Yu Jing' are available now, rest of armies will be added soon.

Sandbox was updated with possibility to select a Ruleset. Unregistered users can use it to create armies (they just wont be able to save them).

Please use forum in case of any comments.]]> francio News Sat, 09 Jan 2010 19:04:36 +0100 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/79/79/_subject_#msg-79 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/79/79/_subject_#msg-79 You can see an example here: sandbox.
For now it have been tested under firefox 3.5 and newest safari browsers.

As this is a testing version, old editor is still available as usual.
You can use both perpendicular. All data is stored separately.
Rulesets have been manually converted to new format.
Example Ruleset have been updated to show editor features.

List of features of the new editor:

• units images.
• bonuses can have their own characteristics. Things like units champions or mounts can be easy implemented now.
• validation on the fly. As you are editing an army the bottom panel will be updated with warnings and errors.
• saving armies without reloading page.
• changing army size limit while editing.
• better organization of add-ons groups.
• units list can be reordered using 'drag and drop' method.
• foldable menu with available units.
• it is a lot nicer than the previous one :)

Also new 'My Armies' section is available that works with new editor. This is a really cool and usable thing:

• You can create folders to group your armies as you like.
• Folders and armies tree can be modified using drag and drop interface. Use Your left mouse button to move armies from one place to another.
• Use right mouse button to access content menu from which you can delete/rename armies/folders, download armies in different formats, etc.
• Your tree is saved automatic each time you make a change. No need to reload page.

Both elements allow to download an army as a *.twa file.
You will be able to read this file in future version of ACE which is under development at the moment.]]> francio News Tue, 22 Dec 2009 21:24:51 +0100 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/78/78/_subject_#msg-78 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/78/78/_subject_#msg-78 TWR 2.0.
Most noticeable changes in new format are:

• possibility to add images to units.
• new standard provides a common way of saving armies. This will allow to save an army in any ArmyCalc application and open it in the other.
• more flexibility and extensibility. Easier way to create complex combination of addons

To complete this complex operation following steps will be made:

• online editor will be changed to a faster and nicer one. It is using the twr and twa files and is designed in a way that will allow to place the editor as a widget on any website.
• online ruleset editor will be temporary closed! all existing rulesets and armies will be converted to new format.
• ACE will be updated with support for new format and some extra features(like server communication).
• microACE - later on an editor for mobile devices will be presented.

At the same time some visual improvements to armycalc.com will be made.

We will try to make all this changes without disabling any part of the system but you can still tread this news as a warning:)]]> francio News Wed, 13 Jan 2010 20:22:43 +0100 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/47/47/_subject_#msg-47 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/47/47/_subject_#msg-47 ArmyCalc works sufficiently stable so we decided to open new users registration.
Feel free to invite Your friends to play with AC...]]> francio News Thu, 03 Sep 2009 19:42:14 +0200 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/46/46/_subject_#msg-46 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/46/46/_subject_#msg-46
Basic list of features:

• creating armies for Rulesets in similar way as online.
• to install new Ruleset You just have to put additional *.twr in a 'rulesets' folder.
• complex rules validation in real time.
• viewing and printing ready army.
• multi-tabbed interface allows to edit multiple armies at once.

Download links, screenshots and more information can be found on ACE PAGE .]]> francio News Sun, 26 Jul 2009 14:00:00 +0200 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/45/45/_subject_#msg-45 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/45/45/_subject_#msg-45

Recently the JS editor was changed several times, Ruleset editors API was updated, documentation is constantly getting larger, TWR standard is almost finished, ...

Today two noticeable features was added. A 'Sandbox', which allows unregistered users to test the features of Army Editor, and a Profile panel which will give You an access to some forum and community settings.

Please enjoy new features. Happy Children's Day!]]> francio News Mon, 01 Jun 2009 14:00:00 +0200 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/43/43/_subject_#msg-43 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/43/43/_subject_#msg-43
This means no more annoying 'save unit', 'add unit' etc. buttons and waiting for page to reload. Just go to 'Your Armies' section and give it a try!

I think this is another large step but there is still a lot to do so ArmyCalc stays in BETA version. Don't get upset when something wont work as expected, just use the forums to report it and we will fix it as soon as possible.

Also some new testing rulesets had been published. Feel free to play with them in the editor.]]> francio News Mon, 27 Apr 2009 14:00:00 +0200 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/42/42/_subject_#msg-42 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/42/42/_subject_#msg-42 francio News Wed, 18 Mar 2009 13:00:00 +0100 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/41/41/_subject_#msg-41 http://armycalc.com/phorum/26/41/41/_subject_#msg-41 francio News Tue, 10 Mar 2009 13:00:00 +0100
