Army Builder Mac Beta Feedback

hansidm said:
Hello all,

I have an issue with the latest AB beta when switching desktops on OS X Lion 10.7.4. I always change desktops a lot by swiping on my MacBook Pro touch pad.

When I switch out from AB's desktop and come back, I can't get AB to get my input focus again. It won't respond from point clicks, nor keyboard keys. It doesn't crash, but it won't work at all, it just sits there without responding. Also, the context menu won't work neither. The only way around is to force quit AB and restart it manually.

Is this a known issue? Thank you.

Just to write some more information... I noticed that this only happens when there are any tooltips from AB showing up. I tried to switch desktops when no tooltips are showing and the problems does not occur.
 
Was trying to print Mobile Roster (had already saved the Roster as a normal roster, then thought why not try Mobile Roster)

Crash file cut/pasted into .txt and attached.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide.

Ok, I can reproduce the "Save Mobile Roster" crash at will.

I create a Roster (Will upload the normal version as well as the crash again).

I then Click File > Save Roster.

Then click File > Save Mobile Roster, take the default name in the dialog box by clicking OK.

Wait about 3 seconds, then it crashes.

Crash File attached.

I am unable to upload the actual .rst file. Seems to be some restriction in the Forum software for that.

Thanks for reporting this - it should be fixed in the next beta of AB.

I've had another user report this problem, but I can't reproduce it. Can you email me the roster you're trying to save at colen@wolflair.com?
 
FYI - a new version of the Army Builder mac beta is now available that fixes a few bugs. Mac users can grab it through AB's automatic updates mechanism.
 
The Army Builder splash screen and print screen both float above other applications if you switch to another application. The spas screen and print screen are in the middle of the screen and obscure everything else.

The print screen will also obscure the Mac print dialog if you switch applications and switch back.
 
Codex Space Marine,

When maxing out scout squad using the "+" button then trying to replace all blotters with sniper rifles. I am limited to replacing only two.

Replacing free weapons seems to be limited to two per weapon type.

actually now it is working... seems to be not recognizing the mouse clicks every time? Seems to be more successful if mouse clicks are at least a second apart.
 
FYI, we just put out a new beta which fixes a few issues, including the "save mobile roster" crash and the multiple clicks not being detected. Please let me know if you run into any issues with it, this will hopefully be the final beta! :)
 
Army Builder crash under different user id on same machine

I installed AB for my son and used it to create some rosters and then he logged in on the same machine and when he tried to use AB it terminates after emitting the message:

"Error in line #0 in /Applications/ArmyBuilder.app/Contents/LDW/Product/ab.xml - Error reading file: /Applications/ArmyBuilder.app/Contents/LWD/Product/ab.xml"

This occurred under 3.3g -- I removed 3.3g and then installed 3.3g and then 3.4 under his id -- worked fine for him, but when I tried under my id I saw the same behavior.

Fortunately, not a big deal as I have a copy on my Mac laptop I can use (and even bought 2 more licences for other machines now there is a Mac version), but seems like the ability to share the same copy across multiple users on the same machine doesn't work.

Thanks for porting this to the Mac BTW -- its great to not have to run it under windoze/Fusion.

Hmm, I'm surprised it didn't work both ways. Are you both running as standard user accounts, or is one of you an administrator?
 
Unfortunately I installed 3.4 and Army Builder immediately stopped finding the server. It gives me an Unknown Error with blank text. I can't update my license for the new version. Frustrating to say the least as now I am in demo mode. Has anyone had this same problem?
 
Can you copy and paste the exact error message you get into a forum post? You can right-click the message and choose "copy to clipboard" to make a copy of it.

Do you have any firewall or internet security software installed? If so, make sure Army Builder is on their exception list to let through.
 
No idea how your supposed to install additional skins on this version? Can download from wolflair but havent the foggiest how to import them in? Anyone worked this out yet?
Cheers!
 
Lord Skrolk,

AB3 includes 3 skins (the default and two others) with the install package. I don't believe we have any other skins available for AB3 on our web site - we have some skins listed that were designed for Army Builder 2, but AB2 manages skins in a completely different way from AB3, so they're unfortunately no longer compatible.

I did some googling and found one web site that I know used to have skins available for AB3, but it appears to be dead now. :( I'm afraid I'm not aware of any other sites that offer AB3 skins - I recommend posting a separate thread in this forum to see if anyone knows of any.

Hope this helps!
