Notes
The first public release of StarForge! It is still rather rough around the edges, especially in the trigger and terrain editors, since these are the newest features. Unfortunately, the location editor does not work yet, but I should have it done in a week or less. Almost all of the basics are done! Soon it will be time to put the icing on the cake and bring StarForge to its true promised ability.

Alpha Test 1.1 - 7/29/2003

Features
Basic Trigger Features
Bugs at Time of Release
Problems with ice tileset Crash when dragging treeview off window All sprites mirrored right-left Doors do not differentiate between directions Dark templars not placeable Units missing turrets Some units using wrong palette When "draw as sprite" is unchecked, still drawn as sprite
Bugs Fixed
Various stuff in unit settings Improved performance for loading terrain Loads desert and installation tilesets Gray area when enlarging map window Units and sprites no longer reappear after deletion
Notes
This version now has basic trigger editing features. The add, copy, and delete buttons seem to be buggy. The modify button does work well, however. I've made a lot of bug fixes, but there are still a lot more to find and fix. Keep those reports coming!

Alpha Test 1.0.1 - 7/2/2003

Features
Delete Units/Sprites (backspace) New player settings window	"About" window
Bugs at Time of Release
Gray area at right of map when changing treeview size Crash when dragging treeview off window Problems with desert, space, installation, and ice tilesets All sprites mirrored left-right Doors do not differentiate between directions Ocassional crash while saving STR section
Bugs Fixed
Overflow errors when editing sprites or unit properties Flags in unit and sprite properties not persisting Controller setting in player settings being randomized Problems when editing names in unit properties
Notes
Not many new features here, but hopefully most of the bugs have been worked out. The next version will probably have a new method of loading tileset graphics to improve efficiency.

Alpha Test 1.0 - 6/28/2003

Features
Save maps (protected) Unit Settings Player Settings Forces Settings Unit Placement	Sprite Placement Customizable unit/sprite lists Unit properties Sprite properties
Bugs at Time of Release
Gray area at right of map when changing treeview size Crash when dragging treeview off window Problems with Desert, space, installation, and ice tilesets All sprites mirrored left-right Doors do not differentiate between directions Ocassional crash while saving STR section
Notes
To change unit or sprite properties, choose the appropriate layer, right click to clear any selected items in the list, and drag a box around the units or sprites you want to edit and press enter. You cannot delete units or sprites as of this version. StarForge is very memory-intensive. If you want to open a new map, close it entirely so that it will free all its memory, and then open it again. Sometimes when saving, StarForge will run into a problem writing the STR section. When you save a map, you will see a few dialog boxes indicating StarForge's progress during saving. Please note the contents of these boxes, and if a crash occurs, report the contents of the last box you saw in your error report. To customize the sprite or unit lists, open the units.lst or sprites.lst files in the data folder with a text editor. Editing it should be self-explanatory. This program uses StormLib, written by Ladislav Zezula. Without him, this project would be much more difficult!
