I think training is bugged for anything, some of the training relies on the auth servers that aren't up anymore. A while back I was going to look into modifying the maps but... guess who didn't get around to doing it.

Just tested it out as a fresh install. All seems to be going good. The worst thing I saw was that the authentication message showed up twice but that's it.

There's a few ideas & suggestions I'd like to run by:
America's Army Assist Setup Dialog Box:
- Capitalize the A in "army"

Main SITREP page:
- Remove all text after "Click HERE" for wrong honor.
- Remove Battletracker text and button. Create a "Help" or "?" button next to login that pops up a dialog box that says "A Battletracker.com account is required to play America's Army through Assist. Click the "Register" button to create an account. After you create an account, you will have to set your desired AA username in the "Tracker Settings" section of Battletracker." Then have 2 buttons, one takes you to register an account at Battletracker and the other takes you to Tracker Settings. http://battletracker.com/forum/index.php?page=Register and http://battletracker.com/index.php?form=TrackerSettings
- Remove PB service message. People that need help will most likely either click the help tab anyway or just go to the forum. I think the "FIX" button pretty much says all it needs to.


Ideas:
- While downloading AA, it would be nice to have a pause option in-between the steps so you can pause after the current step is done.
- Update map images to the ones currently in Dropbox, there's resized ones and 720p ones. Clicking on the screenshot in Assist would enlarge it to a full size 720p version. To take this a step further, have the screenshot loaded from AAO25.com so Assist doesn't have to be updated for new screenshots. Maybe just have Assist look for http://aao25.com/images/%mapname%.png or something.

*EDIT*
Also, what about a news alert kind of thing? Where Assist could pull forum posts from this site and display them in Assist to alert people of polls or information?

I've fixed some of the simpler edit you suggested.
Some I will keep in mind moving forward

This release is mainly (as Possessed said) a security update, also it is a opportunity for me to start slowly without making to many changes and make sure all the moving parts still fit together, and boy are there many moving parts in this project :)

That's cool. I mostly mentioned those things to help simplify the layout. Less things for new users to look at = better :)

any mac os newer that snow leopard no longer supports powerpc emulation,  so any new mac with lion will not even run it using emulation.

Been testing on windows 8 64bit and everything seems to be working fine.

yes, sorry.
Windows7-64b, Intel quad-core i7 series, 8gb ram.

tested (installed as a home server):

normal aa25assist -> everything works fine
modded Server, ultimate mod -> everything works fine
modded Server, weapon pick -> everything works fine
ppss -> some strange thing -> jonnyM screenshots are all pink, mine where good (solution probs?)
see link: http://178.196.49.30:8080/testserver/msgpbssv.html

thank you for keeping the modded part. i just did think what would happend if you did deactivate it. maybe 2 groups of aa25 players. one with the newest release and one with this one still running now.

and of corse, thank you for embedding the personal configurations into the aa25assist, very good Job!!
and hopefully the cheaters will be reduced now to nill or a Minimum  :up:

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS VERY NICE WORK !!!!

btw: if i can do someting more, please tell me
