Thanoulas Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hi Thanoulas. Not asking for a release date as I understand the problems that can cause, but do you have a rough time frame? I plan for a beta release sometime this month, hopefully in a couple of weeks, with minimum functionality (it will basically be what MA 2012 was) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elando Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Would be awesome of the first release could include a short list function. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanoulas Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Unfortunately the first release will not have shortlisting functionality, as my plan is to bring the app to the same level the 2012 edition, it is however a feature that will be added in the release after that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUsualSuspect9 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Really looking forward to this Thanoulas! Can't bring myself to play more than a season or two without it :o FMRTE and Genie now out. Got to resist getting them on the Mrs windows laptop and wait for this.

Thanoulas Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Really looking forward to this Thanoulas! Can't bring myself to play more than a season or two without it :oFMRTE and Genie now out. Got to resist getting them on the Mrs windows laptop and wait for this. Yeah, the thing is that they already had their interfaces ready, and I'm rebuilding the whole engine from scratch. Plus it's far easier to do this kind of job on a Windows machine than OS X, where I had to overcome basic issues such as reading from the process memory. OS X has much tighter security when a process asks the o/s to read the memory of another process. In .net it's as simple as one line of code, I had to implement 10 different classes and look into undocumented frameworks to do such a thing! LOL But I can promise you all it's getting really close, I'm currently figuring out all the offsets for the Players, just a few values left to release an app on par with MacAssistant 12, then it's all new features again like before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUsualSuspect9 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Nice work Than! The comment about Genie and FMRTE wasn't a dig by the way. I full uderstand the work you put in and the extra work needed to create programs like this to work on OSX. Can't wait for this now. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elando Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Is FmScout and FMRTE already out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer89 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Is FmScout and FMRTE already out? Genie Scout is if you donate, not to the proper public yet, not sure on FMRTE. OT: Really looking forward to this Thanoulas, last years was a massive help for us Mac users! Have no doubt that this years will be even better, fantastic work!

Thanoulas Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 I've prepared a closed alpha test version, people who are interested to help please send me a pm. It loads data, but it doesn't work for now, it's just to test my data loading method. The private testers will get access to a functioning private beta later this week. You need to have the Steam 13.1.2 version, needless to say that pirated versions are probably not working and won't be supported by this app. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

strong centrehalf Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Also this thread seems alot better than the usual ones for windows based editors / scouts, where there always seems to be alot of sniping and moaning. Id go with because a Mac user is generally that much older/wiser than your average pc user, as in a macbook pro is a grand a dell laptop is £400 the likelihood of a youngster with no sense of patience who has a mac is a lot lower than that of having a pc based laptop/pc, sorry if that seems snobbish but that is the way I see it.

Thanoulas Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 So, MacAssistant RT is now on par with MacAssistant 2012, all features have now been implemented in RT. Some notes: 1) Asking Price is not what it used to be. It will now show the asking price only if it's set in the game. It is probably calculated on the fly in the game, and I haven't figured out the algorithm yet. 2) The loading time was almost 3 - 4 mins in the private alpha, I'm currently optimising the loading process and it's expected to be lowered to around 1min. This is the only thing that is left to do for the first release. Here's the schedule for the releases: Version 0.4 is going to be the first version of MacAssistant RT that is going to be released. (Due on Friday 27 Nov) 0.4.1 will follow after that, which will have bugfixes and player image support (only through a megapack though) (Due 10 Dec) 0.5 comes next with Staff scouting support, and shortlists (Due 23 Dec) Finally, for some news. MacAssistant RT will be distributed exclusively on FmScout.com this season. It will continue to be free. This helps me by providing me with a dedicated forum for the tool, a bug/feature tracker and a page. Links will be announced here this week as promised.
