Bug Fixes

- Timeouts leading to History load errors should now be fixed

- Fixed bug with factories where if a factory assignment results in the last neutral player territory being assigned this added an extra blank player (see http://www.wargear.net/forum/showthread/1796plast/Player_tally_does_notsomething_#last)

Tournament tie breaking has now been implemented as per the recommendations in this thread: http://www.wargear.net/forum/showthread/1392/Solution_for_Tournament_Tiebreaker_Method

These changes are not retrospective to Finished tournaments but will apply to all future tournaments including those in progress. You should now see the tie breaking calculations on each tournament page.

Tournaments are now decided by:

Swiss System: Wins, then Sum of Opponents Scores (SOS), then Sum of Opponents' SOS (SOSOS).

Round Robin: Wins, then head-to-head, then Sum of Defeated Opponents Scores (SODOS).

Elimination: No change

In the event that these fail to break the tie, it is called a tie and noone gets the win. By analysing past tournaments it's been determined that this scenario would have happened only once in WarGear tournament history.

When a tournament ends, the value used to determine the winner will be highlighted in Red on the tournament page.

Enhancement

Factory bonuses are now shown in a separate column. On balance I think it is preferable to always show these - it would be confusing for players to sometimes be able to see them and other times not depending on the designers viewpoint.

- Fixed bug where teamplay games could not be started from board submission page (http://www.wargear.net/forum/showthread/1569/Teams_and_Review_Games)

Thanks Tom!  This is really nice.   I'm not sure where you would put this, but it would be eve better if there was a total for each of these now.  Maybe at the end of the list of continents/bonuses, you could just put (TOTAL: N)?

This seems to have disappeared. 

- Converted Forum search function to Google embedded site search

- Fixed tournament private message notification PM links

- Added page numbers to comments on player profile page

- Updated board initial board view page to encompass board image, cards and rule information. This should now also accurately reflect  the scenario settings for each board.

so does that mean we can go in and edit each scenario's board description individually now?

Yes this will work now - you can see this works for some boards already like http://www.wargear.net/boards/view/Colossal+Crusade

For some reason the TurnBased to SG doesn't update in the Rules section.  Ie: http://www.wargear.net/boards/view/Micro+Mission/About SimulGear Scenario doesn't have SG Rules.

Any chance of getting the Board Explorer to be available for each Scenario too?

Nice facelift to the board view page. I like!

Nice!

Fixed the SimulGear issues. Yes the Board Explorer will be made available at some point.

New Feature

Sounds can now be enabled for your turn notifications. Don't worry, they are disabled by default. To enable them, go to your notifications page. You must have Instant Notifications enabled to get the sounds that come with them.

You can set a custom sound by passing the URL of your preferred turn notification sound.

Great implementation!  I like the ability to send the custom sounds
