Hi Craig,
I tried to use the updater and got as far as running it, but then
after it said it was downloading the files, I got an error. I couldn't
copy it because the window disappeared straight after but it said
something along the lines of: "Server returned an error: 403 Forbidden".
Does this mean I have to make another new folder for this Dev version?
And start my games all over again? Save files didn't transfer over
from the last release version to the first Dev one I downloaded. :(

> Hi all,
>
> I'm happy to announce that Tactical Battle 2.0 dev 3 is now ready!
>
> It should work with the updater, but if not, you can get it from here:
> http://blindaudiogames.com/downloads/Tactical%20Battle%20Dev.zip
>
> Here's the change log.
>
> 1. Fixed a bug where putting none in a unit's terrain_limit flag would
> be ignored and the unit wouldn't be able to move on none terrain.
> 2. Introduced an impassable_terrain property for units, which works
like
> an inverse terrain_limit. If both are specified, impassable_terrain is
> taken by default as it's likely to be smaller.
> 3. Renamed terrain_limit to passable_terrain in documentation and in
> code. The flag terrain_limit will still work for backwards
> compatibility, but with the introduction of impassable_terrain,
> passable_terrain felt like a more natural name for its opposite
> counterpart.
> 4. Added an enable_friendly_fire boolean flag to maps. This is true by
> default. Can be set to false either by specifying
> enable_friendly_fire=false or disable_friendly_fire on a map. When set
> to false, splash damage does not effect units on the same team as the
> skill user.
> 5. Added a can_friendly_fire flag to skills. This is false by default.
> This serves to override disable_friendly_fire at a skill level. Skills
> with this set will still cause friendly fire damage even when on a map
> with disable_friendly_fire.
> 6. Updated documentation to include UnitPoint.LookupName, which was
> exposed but not mentioned. Can be used to see the point's name, as you
> can imagine. May be useful for script debugging, as much as anything
else.
> 7. Added a before_point_damage and after_point_damage script event for
> scripters. Before point damage should return an object with wasHandled
> set to false or true, dependent on whether the scripter wants the rest
> of that point's damaging logic to occur. Kind of like a mini-version of
> override causers.
> 8. Put in a change so that we no longer announce the turns of teams
that
> have no units on the map. Having verbose in your game.config will mean
> you still hear the turns of these teams, but otherwise these teams's
> turns will pass silently.
> 9. Implemented shared.GetEffectObjectByName,
> shared.GetSkillObjectByName, shared.GetItemObjectByName and
> shared.GetUnitObjectByName functions for scripters to get at the
> respective objects of a map pack without them needing to be parsed
in to
> a function.
>
> This update also comes bundled with the latest versions of Carlos's and
> Victorious's scripts for you all to use.
>
> We hope you like the changes.
>
> Enjoy!
