I've upped the minor version number in this update, we're at 1.4.0!

Reason is that I updated to the latest version of Unity. Because of that I could no longer use the deprecated UNET library of Unity. I am now using Mirror for communication between the manager and clients. Initial testing showed no issues, but with networking I'm always a bit an my guard, so feel free to contact me if you notice something wrong.

Because of this update, you'll have to make sure that both your Windows and Android versions are at 1.4.0, they are not backwards compatible qua networking. They are compatible concerning saved tournaments and everything, of course.

There are also some minor bug fixes and I added a setting where you can configure digit grouping in the HPTM, this was one of the requested features on my Trello board.

I'm having some issues with some of the buttons in the new release of the Windows app, hosting a tournament:

  • the Start button on the Tournament Config page
  • the Exit/Stop Tournament and Edit Tournament buttons on the main tourney screen
  • the Continue button on the Edit Config window within a running tournament
  • the Hide Control Panel button on the main tourney screen

All of them only activate if the button is clicked within a limited area inside the button image - typically either on the left edge of the button, or on the lower parts of the button. The Hide Control Panel button I can't get to work at all on.

The Android app connecting to the server looks to be all good, including everything in an Admin mode connection.

Another thing I noticed is that the timer bar can't be moved while the clock is paused - though this one seems like a deliberate choice.  It would be nice to have some type of fine control over adding/removing time from the clock, as the moving the scroll bar can be a bit finnicky. Plus there doesn't seem to be an option to manipulate the clock from an admin-connected mobile device.

Hi, thx for reaching out!

Scrolling the time while paused is indeed something I could add (putting it on the trello board), not moving it via a connected device is deliberate however; it could cause synchronization issues that I'd rather avoid.

Concerning the issues you have I'm very interested to fix these. I am however unable to reproduce the behaviour you are reporting. Could you help me out and send me a Player log of a session where you tried and failed to click on the buttons?

You can find the player log in this location:

%APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\AvaDev\HPTM\Player.log

You can mail me a at alex.vandenabeele[at]gmail.com

Maybe I should ask: what resolution are you displaying at? (Shouldn't make a difference, but you never know)

Native resolution on the Surface Pro 6 is 2736x1824. It wasn't an issue with 1.37, and only became a problem after the 1.40 update.

I'll grab the log file and sent it through shortly.

Or as it turns out, I won't send you the logs, as everything now works as it used to/should.  This computer apparently wants to be temperamental.  In future if it misbehaves at all, I'll exit the app, copy the log file aside, and then try it all again - maybe there's something not quite right when it first starts up. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for taking the time to reply - I'll be sure to put my local instance through multiple trials before crying wolf 😊

Ok, thx for the headsup! Keep me posted if the issue would turn up again indeed.
