Bugfixes & Improvements

• Fixed game recieving inputs from other controllers

• Reordered tools to resemble Scenario Editor

For Mac Players specifically:

• Updated user files location for custom maps/scenarios/saves

I "fixed" the default file location for files generated by the user, so now when you open your game, custom maps, scenarios and saves made by YOU will seem to be missing.

The old folder was:

Users/[-username-]/Library/Application Support/com.DefaultCompany.2DProject/

The new folder is:

Users/[-username-]/Library/Application Support/com.JoySparkGames.AgesOfConflict/

Here's how you can relocate your old files to the new folder:

• Open the game and double check the new folder name from the info bubble on "New Game" List
• Open your file explorer and go to your Users folder and then to the correct User folder (you might have multiple users but go to the one mentioned in the game info bubble). Also depending on your computer's language the name of some folders might be localized.
• Once inside the username folder, you might not see the Library folder because it is usually hidden. You can show hidden folders by pressing "Command" + "Shift" + "." (period). You should see a semi transparent Library folder.
• From there you should be able to navigate to the Application Support folder, where you should find both the old and new folders. You can then simply move all your custom files from inside the old "com.DefaultCompany.2DProject" folder to the new "com.JoySparkGames.AgesOfConflict" folder.
• When you open the game again, your old custom files should show up again
