Version 2.4 - 19/06/95

File Size:- 96796 bytes


First Public Release

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 2.41 - 21/7/95

File Size:- 111247 bytes

ADDITION    Added routine to show players contract details on the
            Player Info screen.

ADDITION    Foreign and Non-League Clubs can now be accessed via two
            extra buttons on the 'Choose Division' screen. Lists of
            the teams are given, and pressing the button allows the
            names to be changed.

ADDITION    The editor is now compatible with Championship Manager
            Italia 95, and support was also added for 2 slightly
            different versions of EOS and another version of Italia.

ADDITION    On the Club Info Screen, pressing the rigth mouse button
            on a player, allows you to swap the player's shirt
            around with another player.
            This is a bit of a novelty though, as computer managers
            tend to repick a side after one turn..!

ADDITION    Online Help. All important pages now have an online help
            button which displays a small information screen about
            how the particular page contains and how it works.

ADDITION    Added 'View Div' and 'Main Menu' buttons to Club Info
            screen.

IMPROVEMENT Improved the routine to find a players shirt number.

IMPROVEMENT Text Edit. Text editing is no longer an awkward, separate
            section of the editor, instead the Player and Club info
            screens now have a text button on them, which enables you
            to edit text from there.

IMPROVEMENT There is now only one About page.  In the Lite
            version, it contains information on how to register,
            and on a registered version of the editor, it displays the
            information about the user to who the version is
            register to.

IMPROVEMENT The editors transfer system has been improved.
            Now, when a player is transfered, if he was picked for his
            old team, another player from the his old teams' squad is
            picked to take his place.  Hopefully this will cure the
            bug which made him play for two clubs at once.

IMPROVEMENT Mouse Routine. If you now hold the mouse button down for
            more than 3 seconds, it starts to repeat rapidly.

BUG FIX     Fixed a bug in the routine which decodes a player
            position.  The bug caused the editor to corrupt the
            position information for Goalkeepers, when stepping
            through the list of players.

BUG FIX     Fixed a very small yet major bug it the editor when editing
            Italia saved games.  When a non-league team was promoted,
            it failed to show up on the league list.

BUG FIX     Stupid error which caused the editor to show left sided
            players as right sided players and vice versa.

File Size:- 412736 bytes

ADDITION    Added shirts with proper colours to the shirt editing section.

ADDITION    Added a 'Swap Player' option.  This works as a nice

            abroad.

            about a specified club.

            enabling users to guage how good a player is.

IMPROVEMENT Converted whole program to run in 8 colours, instead of 4,
            this doesn`t affect the user, but it does make the program
            more robust, when compared to the old system of having half
            the program in 4 colours and half in 8 colours

IMPROVEMENT Improved file handling yet again!!! Now verifies all files
            produced with the editor to ensure they are legal.

IMPROVEMENT Gave the all the documents ofr CmEd a good proof reading,
            and generally improved them.
            Reduced the size of the history file a bit.
            Will probably cut out all pre-version 3.00 history in the
            next release, or soon after.

BUG FIX     Fixed bug in Prefs loading routine which prevented the editor
            being able to load prefs created with older versions of the
            editor.

BUG FIX     Fixed bug in the `save update` and `player export` routines
            which could cause the editor to sometimes claim there was
            not enough room on the disk being saved to, when there was
            actually enough room.  This usually occured when Saving to
            the Ram Disk.

BUG FIX     Fixed MAJOR bug in the file requestor routine which caused
            the editor to crash if you specified a device name (Eg df0:)

            appear on screen mysteriously, if you clicked on certain
            parts of the screen.

            an update file (fixed).

            main championship manager binary, instead of freezing.

BUG FIX     Fixed mistake in player information screen which let you set
            a players ability to a maximum of 255, where the limit should
            have been 200, if it is higher than 200 the player becomes
            very unpredictable.

BUG FIX     Fixed bug in loading routine which could sometimes cause
            problems when there were multiple savegames.

BUG FIX     Changed Rating to Ability in the Player Info Screen.
