Version 1.4.2 of the release build is out. Start the launcher and it updates by itself. Here is what changed since 1.4.1.
Piece outlines
Pieces on the board can now wear a ring in each player's colour — handy when a piece's art blends into the board or into other pieces (suggested by one of our testers).
- Turn it on or off under Settings > Display > "Piece outlines" (off by default), also from the in-match settings
- Pick each seat's colour on the player's "Ring" row. Auto brightens the player's colour just enough to stand out against a dark outline; Custom lets you pick; None hides the ring for that seat only
- Works on the 2D board
Piece outlines: three pieces on the bank, each with its player's ring (green, magenta, blue)Play
- Tickets on vacant-lot buildings: the shopping and half-price tickets are now also used when you stop on a shop lot, tax office, my home, helipad, amusement park or toll gate / inn (a free ticket goes first)
- Cards that buy a shop or a lot no longer ask when there is nothing to buy; they say "There was no unowned shop or lot."
- The race prize "a free shop" shows as "+5% to your own shop" already on the betting screen when no free shop is left. The Legacy race's shop raises now play after the casino closes
- When buying an unowned shop completes a monopoly, the monopoly effect waits for the purchase effect (also with action waits off, and when watching someone else buy)
- The stock trading screen's forecast shows "end of turn (start of turn -> expected)", and the stock-change panel lists profit and loss in turn order
- While the "toll big enough to sell a shop" effect plays, the payment slip (toll, lucky share, dividends) is shown too
The payment slip for a toll big enough to sell a shopOnline play and spectating
- Fixed a desync that could follow a rebuild or a rejoin on boards whose state switches during the match
- When a trade changes how shops look, the effect now plays for the two traders, the other seats and spectators alike
- Spectating: fixed later shops being missed when several change one after another, the sell-to-the-bank price showing doubled, and the race screen closing before its payout
Achievements
- 20 new badge pictures for the special achievements the operators award
- The "Warp Master" description now matches its tiers (3 / 10 / 30)
Sending data
- User data now also sends your lifetime records (the Overall / lifetime-achievement figures), your one-match maximums, and how often and at which tier you earned each achievement and award. No dates, board names or names. It is also sent when your records grow
- If you already sent user data, the game asks once at start-up whether to keep sending it, and sends nothing until you answer. "No" stops it; change it any time in Settings > Other > Sending data
- Match data for boards already published on the server now includes the final board (square layout, owners, prices, piece positions)
Test build 1.4.2-test0
The test build has the same changes (the Android phone build is 1.4.2-test0 too).
Please note
The engine version went up, so 1.4.1 and earlier cannot play online with 1.4.2. Saves load as they are.
