Space Ranger v1.0.9 update!
We're happy to announce this update, bringing new features and a few bugfixes!
IMPORTANT: Before updating, run Space Ranger, copy every level you made to the clipboard with the To Clip feature, Paste your levels in one or multiple text files via Notepad or any PLAIN TEXT editor. This will be fixed in the future. We also recommend you copy your levels in a backup text file for every levels you make in the future... We're working on a fix for this. More detailed info on backing up below, but first some update info!
v1.0.9.0 update
- Added planets, sun, space fog, stars and other goodies to spice up the levels.
- Added the new stuff into some of the existing missions and to the level editor for you to play with!
- Added 20 new levels in the 2 new mission sets - Dr. Zappers Labtest and Asteroid Bonanza!
- Added mission description and author option to the missions
- Added new goals and level completion option to the level editor
- Added version number and some info to the main menu
- Changed 10th to milliseconds in level editor
- Fixed score reset when testing levels
- Fixed the dashboard line bug
..and a few other bits and bobs.
If you have performance issues, try to set resolution to 1366x768 and lowering the game settings. And try not to put a thousand UFO's in the game simultaneously!
The update has been submitted to Microsoft today, and will arrive as soon they are done certifying it - could be from 4-6 hours to 5 days.
Here's how to backup your own missions.
1. Enter the mission you want to save
2. Hit TO CLIP button
3. The Windows 8 panel opens with the level data pasted in it. Select all and copy it.
4. Open Notepad and hit CTRL+V to paste the level in the empty text file. Repeat for all levels, either in the same file or one for each.
5. Save the text file, name it what you want.
Done!
And to get it back - open the file, select the level data you want and copy it, then enter the game, create a new level and hit the FROM CLIP button. Piece of cake!
Enjoy the update!
