Early Access Update Femtiofyra (54)

build id: 5E8E26A1

nornware AB is happy to announce a new update to Space Beast Terror Fright.

SHARING USER PLANS
Building on the previously deployed user plan editor, this update features online storage of all user plans (as opposed to the previous local storage). This means that it is now possible to share your creations with the entire community.

You can set your maps to public or private (they are initially private upon first save), and this is intended to facilitate private iteration on your work until you feel you are ready to share it publicly. Note that it is still possible as multiplayer party host to play one of your private user plans with your party; this is analogous to playing a locally saved user plan in multiplayer in previous updates.

User plans are color-coded in all lists as follows:

• BLUE = other users' plans which are public (otherwise you wouldn't see them)
  
• WHITE = your plans which are set to public (other users will see these as blue)
  
• ORANGE = your plans which are set to private (othere users will not see these)
  

It is now also possible to like other users' plans. This interface is to the left of each plan name in the mission setup screen (when in user plan mode), and the number of total likes per plan are displayed to the right of the corresponding plan name.

For those of you who have invested in user plans prior to this update (which are saved locally), there is an interface to import these plans to the new backend; from the main menu go to the editor, click "my plans", then click "import". If any previously saved user plans exist on disk they will be listed here, and can be loaded into the editor as usual. After that you can save the plan to any unique name (per user) in the new backend, and after that you can set them to public when you are ready to share via "my plans".

MISCELLANEOUS

• A new test for sentry object limit has been added to the editor.
  
• Widget / button backgrounds are now solid and hopefully more readable.
  

As always, thank you for your support and patience.
