jim-ph,

Having trouble getting the alpha version to install. I followed your instructions from your dev page:

INSTALLATION:

1) JAILBREAK YOUR DEVICE.
If you haven't done this yet - I suggest that you use 'expert mode' when doing it and install only Installer, without Cydia. You will get all its stuff later by installing Icy from Installer. This will make your device 2x faster than a Cydia-device.

2) Install Icy and InstallerApp Support from Installer
3) Start Icy, choose SOURCES,
add http://ripdev.net/palmheroes/ to the sources. Refresh sources.
4) Install PalmHeroes from Categories/Games
5) If you are impressed enough, support our project by donating something

When I do this, it says that it is not a valid source in both Cydia and Icy.

http://iphone.palmheroes.com

Ok thanks. Next problem.

Now the source is considered valid, but "PalmHeroes" is nowhere to be found. I looked in Categories/Games like the instructions, and when it wasn't there I tried running a search for "PalmHeroes" and just "Heroes", both yielding no results beyond some wallpaper apps for the TV Show "Heroes". Now what?

EDIT: Problems solved. Had to do a manual refresh, sorry, I've never used Icy before.

you haven't reloaded sources. Hit the button in the upper-left-hand corner.

Ok I got it working. It looks very promising! My problem now is, every time I try and load it it says "Preparing for Battle..." for a few seconds and then quits. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and the problem remains. I realize it's still an alpha build.

betatesters wanted!

1) register at palmheroes.com/bt (that's our bug-tracker) - read the whole instruction first to make sure you HAVE TIME for it!!

2) PM me your bt login, I will activate your account

3) Download the latest build from Icy: http://iphone.palmheroes.com

4) read the WHOLE bug-tracker

5) check the GREEN tickets first (resolved) - is the bug really fixed? was anything broken during the fix?

6) check BLUE and RED tickets (assigned, new) - mabe you'll be able to reproduce a bug, or gather additional info on it.

7) check whatever can be checked

we're in the appstore. The donation progrem didn't work great, but it sustained the project from extinction. 2$.

We wanted to make the world better...
Thanks for help to all who helped!

Bought it, looks good! How are sales going? Also, did you purposefully avoid mention of "Heroes of Might and Magic" in the description on purpose to avoid legal battles?

HOMM is a tm that we have no relation to. So there's no need to mention someone else's TM.

I would at least put it in the description or as a tag. That way people searching Heroes of Might and Magic will find your app. You are trying to attract the fans for that game, since that fanbase is already established and huge. Nobody will see "Palm Heroes" and instantly know what it's about unless they look at the screenshots. But that's assuming you've already gotten them to click on it to read the description. Just my two cents. Thanks again for your work, I'll tell my friends about the app.
