Thanks! We're currently cleaning up the component lists and adding highlighting to the mech location you are currently viewing.

It's looking good, S3dition. Works like a charm on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

Although the text in the crit locations is a bit hard to read, perhaps lighten the font up a bit?

That's what we are working on right this instant. It looks worlds better already .

This looks great! Hopefully there will be a Windows Phone 8 version.

Nice app with easy access to every category. I hope there will be further development. What i would add to heat/damadge/range inforation numbers, not only bars.

Thanks anyway!

When you click on the bars to the right, it should open a screen with a lot of detailed information. The bars are just so you can view the information at a glance. For example, if you're browsing for a low heat or high damage weapon.

Thanks for the feedback

Thanks! Currently working on highlighting the selected area of the mech.

[S3dition]

When selecting an area of the mech to view, that area will now be highlighted. The update should appear within 2 hours.

[S3dition]

Fixed the issue where the navigation bar would be white (and therefore unreadable) on some phones. Anticipating the new mech and updates coming in a few days .

[S3dition]

Updated for game patch 1.2.204. Should be live within the hour.

[stjobe]

I still have a white loading screen and a white 'mech screen on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus after the latest update.

And the weapons are gone too - just actuators now

[Captain Pee Sheets]

This is outstanding! I was considering doing something like this for my own personal use, and now I don't have to. :-P

Are the weapons gone from all the mechs, or only specific ones? The weapons might be hidden on the list, as it's scrolling. You can move it up or down to see items at the bottom of the list. It works better when your phone is in landscape view (sideways) as there is enough room for the whole list.

Ah. It was the scrolling that threw me. You can sleep well tonight, the weapons are all there

Although both the loading screen and the 'mech screen both have white background, making things hard to see.

Are you certain the latest update installed? The play store can be really slow to push updates. If you restart your phone, it should force Android to rescan the app list and check for updates manually. I have to do that with my Bionic all the time.

About as certain as I can be, being a developer myself and knowing that some things are black magic

I actually updated the app earlier today, but I rebooted my phone anyway and there were no updates (to Mercpedia).
Also, on the Play Store, My Apps, Mercpedia, it says "2013-03-20" next to the star ratings.

Interesting. We're poking around it right now.

This is why I keep a cat and some candles around. Never know when you need a bit of voodoo coding.

Reminds me of my sysadmin days: "SCSI is *not* magic. There are fundamental technical reasons why you have to sacrifice a young goat to your SCSI chain every now and then.""

Yes, I'm old enough to still have nightmares about improperly terminated SCSI chains.

Oh, and good luck!
