We're getting very, very close to version 1.0!
I have one more feature that I'd like to add to 1.0 before I'm ready to move Hexographer to version 1.0. (Of course I'll fix any bugs found as well.) Then we'll be working on 1.01, 1.02 or 1.1, 1.2, etc. So it never ends.
Here's what is new/fixed in the new version, 0.94:
- Three new symbols: Port (which looks like an anchor, as requested), Cathedral, and Oasis
- The pro version now let's you add custom terrain and features. (Previously you had to change the color, icon and other settings of existing terrain or features. By the way, all of that prior functionality except changing the icons can be done in the free version as well.) Go to the "Options" menu of the map edit/view window and choose "Add/Edit/Remove Custom Terrain and Features." Once you add Terrain, it will appear as a new button on the "Terrain" tab. If the new item is a Feature, a new button for it will be on the "Icons" sub-tab of the "Symbols" tab. However if the new item is a Cosmic Feature or Terrain then a button for the new choice appears on the "Cosmic" tab. This is all new stuff, so if you encounter a bug, bear with me and email/post about it. I'll fix it ASAP.
- If you try to export a map as a PNG image and you run out of memory, a prompt appears to tell you what happened and to go to the support forum for help. (I'll be posting/revising a post about that soon.
- The zoom in and zoom out buttons don't let you zoom further in or out than the hex height and width spinners allow. Also the hex height spinner won't let you change to a size that will cause the hex width to be larger or smaller than the width spinner allows and vice versa. A prompt appears if you encounter these conditions.
