Several good suggestions were made following the release of VidiVici
2.0. Many of the suggestions have now been added in version 2.1. A
few didn't make it into this version, but that doesn't mean they won't
eventually get added.
Version 2.1 can be downloaded here:
http://webpages.charter.net/kgnorris/vidivici.htm
There is a plain zip file available as well as the full installer.
Also, a minor update is available for ScriptZ0r which fixes several
default settings for starting ships and bases.
VidiVici changes:
* Better startup error handling. Errors should produce
meaningful messages that will help diagnose problems.
* Added Races button to the tool bar. Races must be set
manually for certain features.
* Added status bar to the bottom of the main interface. The
status bar indicates the current game, turn number, and most
recently performed file action.
* All objects now have a "Notes" tab in the viewer. You can
keep notes for each object, such as what weapons are loaded
on a particular ship.
* Added some new default flags: Good Farming, Good Minerals,
Food Shortage, Food Surplus. NOTE: You MUST set the races for
your game in order for the Good Farming flag to work!
* Added options to hide planet names and the grid.
Located on the menu under View > Other Options
* Added several more buttons to the tool bar. Previous/next
turn, flags, filters, resource circles, races, colors.
