Delays

Sorry for the update delays, a combination of work taskings and personal projects has taken over my time. I'm working on expanding the topographical map tutorial with information on a new feature that I will make available from here. It should be a much needed addition to those of you looking to use topographical maps due to end-user criticism of the "cartoonish" game map.

I also have another work in progress that should set topographical maps to the default viewing mode when a user starts VBS2 as this has been identified by some as preferred, as in most cases there really is only one topographical map for each terrain. This is also to counter the issues you may experience when introducing individual soldiers to useage of the topo maps (toggle of sat image/default map).

On top of that I'm also not far off releasing a new menu screen, which rolls mantis #0001945 into an updated user interface that is more customisable in that it allows site administrators to change the background, their "unit" logo and also add their own message to the main menu, NB: Images will need to be converted to paa format and be of certain dimensions, all I'm doing is making a template that puts the image files in an external location to be easily modified.

All addons released from here will be EBO'd, standard release will be YYMEA, all other customers, e-mail jamie dot coombs at gmail dot com . I will then make arrangements to provide the addons in your customer key, in rare cases this may not be possible.

Once again my apologies, but it will be well worth the wait. Additionally I'm polishing off a tutorial scenario I was to release last week, this got delayed because it wasn't playing out properly for one of the testers yet on other machines it was fine, I think I've found the problem and I'll throw it out to the public for a look.

Jamie.
