2.42.2 Now Available

[EricL]

2.42.2 is now available on the FTP Download Page

Lots of little fixes, a couple of nice feature tweaks and most importantly, several serious core crashing bugs fixed.  Once again, I did not get a chance to dive into Leagues or Internet sharing, but I plan to focus on those areas next.

The complete list of fixes in this release can be found in the following topic: 2.42.2 Changes

It says that default.set is incompatable, and then gives a divide by zero error when I start the sim  

Otherwise nice work  

[Numsgil]

I'll take a look at your new version right away.  As to internet sharing, we really don't have an FTP at the moment, so there's not a whole lot of point UNLESS:

1.  Someone donates an FTP
2.  Someone rewrites the internet sharing to use the databases on our web space (I have a friend working on this actually).

I also get a divide by zero and it exits with an error save.

The divide by zero has to do with graph update period.  If it's 0 there's a divide by zero.  You should probably add a code that sets it to like 200 if it's <= 0

[Elite]

I've fixed it

Install this settings file into settings as default.set
(and add some bots)

It's great. Several minor issues that bugged me about 2.4 have been fixed too

Great job EricL!  

PS, Settings file wouldn't upload so here's the text:

BTW, Shouldn't this be moved to announcements

[Numsgil]

I'll fix the uploading and move it to announcements

[EricL]

Damn, it's always something.  Forgot to include the new settings file in the donwload this time...

If we had more users, then I would say we should do some sort of buddy testing before official releases to catch stuff like old sim/settings file compatability, but since we only have a few dozen active folks at most, it may not make sense just yet...

1. Someone donates an FTP

I 've set up an FTP share on my site for testing.  Plenty of space, but my hoster doesn't allow anonomous FTP unles it's at the root so I need to walk through password support for FTP in the code.  That's my first task this weekend.

The divide by zero has to do with graph update period. If it's 0 there's a divide by zero. You should probably add a code that sets it to like 200 if it's <= 0

Done for the next version.  Want me to patch 2.42.2?

[EricL]

Okay, I fixed the exe to default the value for charting interval and snuck it into the download.  I also added a good format default.set.  All new downloads should be golden now.

we really don't have an FTP at the moment, so there's not a whole lot of point UNLESS:

Who needs an FTP?

We have MySQL and php

All you have to do is set up a php script on DB.com and assign it a database to hold the organism files. The client programs just need to log onto the php script like we do on the forum then upload and download files directly to the database.

Admitedly I'm not that great with programming php yet (only been working on it for about a month) but the concept is pretty simple.

[Numsgil]

Yeah, actually I have a friend working on this for me.  He should be finished in about a month because that's when the class work is due.
