Hi SLJ Welcome to the list. Its always nice to see new faces! I highly recommend that you download the latest development version, and then update your maps so that they work with it. The dev version has numerous new features and bug fixes. Set the range of attack to 1. You should make the wall terrain blocks_sight. Hope that fixes the issues you mentioned.

Ive just reasonly subscribed to this mailinglist. I dont know whos here yet, but you might know me as SLJ on the Audiogames forum or from other places. I have known about Tactical battle for very long time, but just reasonly realized how many possibilities there are when creating maps. So a few weeks ago, I spent some time to check it out, and realized how easy it is to create your own maps. I got so much surprised to see how creative maps we can make, and to see how many possibilities there are. I have dreamed about making games for many years, tried to learn some programming language, but always given up and got impationed. :) But Tactical Battle seemed to be pretty easy to learn, so I was very motivated to give it a try. I started to create something pretty small, and was really motivated to learn and keep working. I had so many ideas I would see if I could make into a map. There was a lot of things I couldnt get to work, so I looked in examples, trying to understand how others have made simular features. I asked on the Audiogames forum for some basic newbie stuff, got some very nice replies, checked out more examples to fully understand how things works and kept building on my map. I havent get used to how all the features of the map creation works yet, but Ive got used to a lot so far. Now, my first beta version is ready. This is just a very early beta, where most of the sounds are missing and there are known bugs. I must say Im pretty proud of myself that Ive made it so far. It might seem as nothing for you who have made many maps before, but for me who have tried to learn programming for so long time and have dreamed about releasing something for very long time, it feels so great to finally be able to make something from scratch, knowing that only your own ideas are your limits and not that you are unable to code. :) My map is made out from the getting started maps, and then Ive cleaned up a bit, removed the things I dont use in my map. Then I started to make my own things. This is the reason for youll see some things from the getting started map which is not used in mine. It would be really nice if you would give this beta version a try, and tell me what you think. As much feedback as possible would be great, and it would be great to hear how you like it, and if you think its something I should continue to work on. I havent wrote the documentation for the map yet, so here is the information to get you started: The story: Its war in your country. The war has come to your town, and soldiers has reached your house. A family is trapped in their house, one person is locked in each room. The soldiers have stolen the keys to the house and locked the doors. There is the following family members: Tom: The dad. A strong man who have a very powerful attacks and have lots of HP. Molly: The mother. James: the son Lilly: A three year old girl whos too young to attack. She have more turns than the others, and shes ment to run around and deal out medkits which heals the other players. Skils: There are both attack skills, a kicking skill and a weapon which can be picked up and used. the skills do random amount of damage to make attacking more interesting. strategies: Ive tried my best to build the map so people can use many different strategies to beat the game. I think Ill let the player figure out most of the possibilities on the own and not mention those in the documentation. One tip Ill give though is that every furniture in the house can be used as protection, but keep in mind that they can get destroyed. Known bugs: The only bug Ive found so far is the attack skils which have two tiles in range also works through the walls. Im not sure on how to fix this. You can get the map here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9791433/Protect%20the%20house.zip Oh by the way, Ive made my map in the latest official release of Tactical battle, not the developer version. I havent tested if the developer version works with my map, and Im not sure on how to update my map so itll work. I look very much forward to hear your feedback, both good and bad. Have an awesome weekend. Best regards Søren.
