Hi Craig and Ian too,
This is great news. I've been wondering when a new "stable" release
would come out. Not that it matters for everyone who keeps up with
the development, but I suspect there are several people who were
waiting for this before trying the game. My old, non-adventurous self
would've been one of them, I suspect.
I feel like this was addressed a while back, but I'll bring it up in
case it's a missing bug.
Now that we have the option to switch between the battle log or the
original way where the computer automatically goes through turns, it
seems that if you turn off the log, and then interrupt speech,
everything happens and you can't get any more information.
I suspect I'm a bit of an odd duck in this circumstance. I like the
battle log, but it does seem to make my computer think that TB isn't
responding, even though I know it's just taking some time to do all
the computer stuff and then show me the log.
On the other hand, I've gotten so used to interrupting speech for
things that I tend to interrupt it in TB as well, depending on speech
to come back so that I can skip things like unimportant enemy
movements or spells, or in the case of Age of Warlords and games like
it, not hearing how much funds have been transferred to which
stronghold when I can't stop it from happening. grins
I think I remember there was an issue if it's using screen readers,
because you'd have to code for so many different ones, but maybe I
just dreamed that up, but I stick with sapi for TB, and I know it used
to allow interrupt and come back on.
Anyways, that's my only guess/suggestion?
Thanks
Michael
