Hmm my rights on the main login server seem to have disappeared so I cannot edit the -BetaShared script to display a message like last time (also the internal version number is also the same as the previous version so I am not sure how to detect the new client).

For now, testers should forum PM me to receive the new client.

It's only for Mac?

It's the Mac Beta thread isn't it?

I wanted to beta test it but apparently Skyld had enough testers for now.

A couple of problems

• You can't trigger a weapon clientside from itself, e.g.
  
  PHP Code:

  //#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  this.trigger("testFunction", NULL);
}

function onTestFunction() { // note, however, that you can trigger this function from another weapon
  player.chat = "received!";
} 

• Windows are still sticking sometimes when reconnecting (especially client-RC and the playerlist)
• Resizing my SQL explorer (code that crashes it is on the other page) still crashes the client.
• Copying and pasting is an awful mess still, you can't copy different lines (they show up as one), and anything with formatting in it shows up as like:
  (Client-RC)

You are sure that you have the new version?

Actually, no. Looks like the one you sent me yesterday (identical to the one Skyld sent out today to the beta testers) was the wrong version?

The date of the actual "Graal.app" is not accurate because I have been placing the actual updated binary inside of an old app container, check the date by using "Show package contents" and then going into "Contents" and "MacOS". It should say 7th November 2009 or so as mine does.

Then yes, I just checked, and I do have the newest.

Hmmm there must have been some problem with the compilation then. It should definitely not crash when resizing the window. I've uploaded a new version, please check that again. Which CPU do you have (PPC, 386, 686) ?

In the new version I've also improved the window handling, and tried to fix the trigger problem (had no chance to test it yet).

About copy&paste: it works perfectly fine for me. There is a small problem in the sense that it's using the original line breaks when copying HTML text instead of the visible line breaks, but it shouldn't show any weird special characters.

Yeah must have been a compilation issue because the new version number is being reflected properly in the version you just uploaded. Window resizing crash doesn't seem to be happening anymore.

Edit: Testers should get a link to the new client now when they log in.

Everything is fixed that I posted in my last report except the copy and pasting, for example, try to copy and paste this:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  this.trigger("testFunction", NULL);
}

function onTestFunction() { // note, however, that you can trigger this function from another weapon
  player.chat = "received!";
} 


It shows up as:

Ok uploaded a new version for Skyld.
Changes:
- improved copy&paste, instead of using "mac-plain-text" it's now using utf8 to exchange data
- palletized tilesets which are drawn on layer 0 are forced to be RGB (no alpha), which should fix the problem that Skyld had
