TERRAFORMER EXPEDITION TO MARS 9/21/15 UPDATE

  • Save/load game edit box
    - right/left/back space, etc. keys now work in the edit boxes
    - Displays the time of the game save

    - Save game, checks for and appends .save to user named filenames, so they'll correctly show up in the load game list.

  • Containers
    - Found and fixed issue with load game and potential container bug.
    - Found and fixed issue with drag/drop and potential container bug.
    - Found and fixed issue with consumption thread cycle and potential container bug.
    - Container operations have additional error checking. errors will show up in 'log.txt'.

  • Tool tips
    - Ditched the use of WM_TIMER windows timer messages, as these are low priority, unreliable messages.
    - I now use a hi-res timer for this, (the same timer I use for calc'ing FPS).
    - Added a game option so the player can change the tooltip delay time, 0.1 seconds to 5 seconds.
    - Refactored the tooltip formatting,
    added time to next 'consume/produce' cycle
    changed colors for on vs off
    changed colors for valid operations
    added which mouse button info to valid operations

  • Electricity
    - Producers now keep a list of electricity consumers and how much each is using
    - This list is displayed in tooltip for electrical generation items
    - Notes: Old save games will not display this list until one complete consumption cycle has completed

  • Consume/produce cycle
    - Fixed bug where in some cases a double consume was being performed
