GreenAsJade Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Hi All, H2HH 2.9.0 is available, directly from this link: http://bit.ly/h2h-helper You do need to update. If you don't update, you will cease to be able to use H2HH to chat with opponents who have updated. I was forced to make this "break with the past versions" due to a library I was using (both in saving your information, and in doing the chat) becoming unsupported on Macs. This new version also has revamped support for internationalisation, and new French and German translations (thanks to DingChavez and Markus Mohr). We should no longer see the occasional failure to cope with international file names. It's a much improved base for new things I would prefer for H2HH to be obtained only through the link above: if you have previously been making a copy and sharing that, because of the hassle of my previous dropbox distribution, could you point to this now instead, please. As always, if you have any hassles, let me know. The Help->Bug Report menu option is as good a way as any. Thanks, GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Other Means Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Still doesn't work for me. Maybe it's the repeated "Dropbox" is F:\Dropbox\Dropbox? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 It shouldn't be that. Let's take a closer look offline ... PM me some details. Cheers, GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holman Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I can't get this version to run. I unzip the package and click h2hh.exe, but nothing happens. This has never been a problem with previous versions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 "and then nothing happens" ... that's not good! Can you PM me, we'll try to sort it. Also, can you run it from a command prompt like this, if you know how: h2hh.exe reset-state Thanks! GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadgerDog Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 GaJ... Should I be updating my MAC version 2.6.3 to this new version as well? I don't see the new version in my on-line Drop Box? Regards, Doug 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilM Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 GaJ... Should I be updating my MAC version 2.6.3 to this new version as well? I don't see the new version in my on-line Drop Box? Regards, Doug Apologies for answering when I'm not GaJ, but his first post in the thread included a new direct link which he asks to be used for both Mac and PC versions of 2.9. I've updated to Mac 2.9 from there, works fine. Hope this helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've updated to Mac 2.9 from there, works fine. Hope this helps. It does... thanks .. Usually his new versions for my MacBook Pro just show up automatically in the Drop Box he had me set up originally, but I'll manually download this one and install it...

GreenAsJade Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Yeah ... I changed the way that I was doing it, because it was hard for some people to participate in the shared directory: have to sign up for Dropbox, have to take care not to mess up the files there etc. The downside is that the updates don't just appear magically. Maybe I should do both, and leave people who want to have the folder shared to have update access. Hmmm... maybe too fiddly - let's all just use the link, I'll announce when updates are available Cheers GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgerDog Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 No problem.... I will look here for updates... By the way, I appreciate your work very much.... It makes this game far more playable for me. Without it, I'd spend half my life checking and sending emails, plus copying files to the right in-box, depending upon which game it was... I'm not sure I would have the time to buy and keep playing Battlefront's products ... Battlefront should be making it part of their basic install package as an option ...

Other Means Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 GaJ - cheers for sorting out my issue. As a rider to this thank you, could I slip in a feature request? Is there any chance of there being a minimise to notification window option so the window doesn't look like it's running but the smiley stays there and can launch the window on-click? That'd be zoooperkool. Cheers again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Does this boil down to "please make it so that when I click on the smiley, the main window opens"? I've had that in mind for a while - I just need to learn how Or are you also wanting the minimised icon to completely disappear, so there is only the smiley, and nothing on the task bar? That'd be another (likely more difficult) thing for me to learn to do GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Other Means Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 The latter, so it's a service running in the background. I'd have it start with the PC and when a turn arrived, the smiley would show. Not sure how cross-platform that would be though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Wotherspoon Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 2.9.2 doesn't work for me at all. I've PM'd GaJ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how cross-platform that would be though As a Mac user, I'm very interested in features like those suggested being cross-platform, or not ... FWIW, I would prefer not to have H2HH start automatically when I start my Mac, so to have it do so would need to be an option that I could decline. (Just me I guess, but I prefer to have as few things as possible start automatically; it's not hard to click an icon to fire it up.) Also, when it is running I like the icon in the menu bar to say it is doing so. The present arrangement of no icon = not running, unlit bored face = no turn waiting, lit smilie face = turn waiting, works fine for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mean the bored face (bordey?) wouldn't show when there was no turn, just that the application window itself isn't needed while we're waiting and it would show the smiley when the turn arrived, allowing it to be clicked to launch the turn. Is there any way to have the turn auto load, BTW? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
