Posted: 19-Jun-2017 20:05 Post subject: Site Update [2.17.7]
Another update and another unit type has been implemented! Everything else is mostly minor. The below lists these changes in more detail:
Design Changes
When designing a new 'Mech, the default option for 'Allow selection of extinct equipment' has been changed to Enabled (On). This will be less confusing for users who want to select equipment that is extinct in the era they are building the unit.
To create a tad less clutter, "Jumping MP" will no longer show in readouts when the unit is equipped with UMUs only.
Browser info saved with a unit is now updated when a user edits a unit. So it will always reflect the browser last used. (Admin view only)
Changed the icons used for Private/Public to something a bit better, and to also inlude icons for all three privacy settings.
(Admin view only)
Removed Keno from the site, because... well... it was stupid! The last user to purchase a keno ticket was in March of 2015. So no one should miss it.
The Un/Distribute icons located on the 'Distribution' tab have been relocated to just underneath the list of equipment which needs distribution. The color legend has likewise been moved there.
Modified the default preferences for new users so that all notifications via email are checked by default.
This will ensure that new users have the default of receiving notices for site messages as well as new content. Users can still uncheck if they do not wish to receive these notifications.
Enhancements
TRIPODS!!! You now have the ability to create units using the Tripod chassis configuration. This includes the generation of all available output options, record sheets included. Not much more to say about this. Now get to designing those tripods!!
Engines are now always placed at the top of the side torsos when needed. Previously they were placed wherever the first free slots were, which was annoying. Anything which may be present which occupies a slot they need will be removed and appear in the list of equipment which needs distribution.
