301/302 Release Notes

• Added client.CheckPassport(). You give it a passport identifier assigned by the hub if you choose to turn on the new BYOND Passport subscription feature. (Works in CGI mode too!) Example: client/var full_access //could use this to provide extra features for subscribers mob/Login() if(client.CheckPassport("0123456789abcdef")) client.full_access = 1 return ..() The passport identifier should be one assigned to you when you configure your hub entry to support this feature.

• Fixed: The code-editor's context menu was crashing Dream Maker. (Oblivion)

• Fixed: Long browse() output in CGI mode was producing overflow errors (not crashes mind you) that have now been elliminated. (Cinnom)

• Fixed: Icon arithmetic on icons with large numbers of colors was occassionally causing bad crashes. (Gughunter)

• The "Import" function in the movie-editor was sometimes crashing.

• Fixed: Flicking an icon (rather than an icon state) was removing overlays on the target object for the duration of the animation. (Ebonshadow)

• Fixed: The compiler was generating incorrect code on C-style for-loops with a missing conditional expression: for(x=1;;x++) usr << x if(x >= 3) break The loop incrementor (x++) was getting treated as the conditional expression, so the above loop was starting at 2 rather than 1. Recompile!

• Fixed: In CGI.Topic(href,href_list[]), the href_list[] parameter was not getting correctly cleaned of internally used CGI variables ("byondcert" and "byondexp"). This only caused a problem when CGI.authenticate was turned on. (Ebonshadow)

• Fixed: params2text() was crashing when converting certain special characters into %-encoded format. (AirMapster)

• Fixed: savefile.ExportText() was sometimes outputting "inf" for numerical values but savefile.ImportText() was failing to parse this.

• Fixed: atom.Click() was generating reference counting errors when the object got deleted before the user's click request got processed. (Spuzzum)

• Fixed: The CPU time reported by the profiler should now correctly represent the amount of time spent by the CPU on the proc and will not be swayed by other activity on the system.

• Fixed: A recent change made the built-in walking procs call movement procs with usr assigned to the object being moved, even if that object was not a mob. The old behavior has been restored, so usr is null in that case.

• Fixed: When doing a reboot in Dream Seeker, client.command_text was not always getting restored properly. Also, world.Reboot() was responsible for some reference counting error messages.

• Fixed: References to items removed from the stat panel were miscounted.

• Fixed: With verbs "do test" and "test", the command "test" was not letting you type further arguments, because it couldn't tell which verb you wanted. Now it assumes you want the exact match ("test") in a case like that.

• Fixed: there was a crash that was happening in certain situations when a player logged off.

• Fixed: list() << output was crashing the app. (Shadowdarke)

• Fixed: yet another crash that was happening when deleting the client object. Also fixed another reference counting problem in world.Reboot().

• Fixed: there was a big memory leak in the closure of savefiles and in world.Del().

• fcopy() now respects file locking. This will prevent rsc and savefile corruption when a new file is uploaded (through a BYOND app of any kind) over one that is being used.

• typesof() now works with verbs and procs. For example, you could do typesof(/mob/admin_commands/verb) and it will give you a list of all verbs defined there. Note that typesof(/mob/admin_commands) still works as it used to; it does not include verbs and procs but only object types. (Spuzzum)

• Added a "New Window..." option to Dream Seeker. (xgavinx)

• The "find" option on the mapper is now a lot more versatile. You can enter object names ("Brown chair"), tags ("chair_instance"), paths ("/obj/chair"), or even partial-paths ("chair"). If you want to find all children append a "/" to the path name ("/obj/chair/"). Internally, the dialog also supports finding of object ids ("100") which is used in the "find instance on map" operations.

• The mapper interface has been streamlined a bit to conform to typical Windows standards. Right-clicking on the map now pops up a context-menu with some options and a list of the contents on the map tile, thus averting the need for a "Look" button. The various buttons ("find", "gen", etc) that used to be on the bottom of the object panel are now also located in context-menus obtained by clicking on the object in the panel.

  Since the right-click on the map used to perform a delete operation (ala the icon-editor, which has not been changed), you must now either use the context menu to select one of the various deletes or use the more convenient SHIFT+click. Also, if you have a three-button mouse the middle button should perform a delete.

• You can now select multiple icons to import into the main page of the icon editor (that is, the page that shows the various icon-states). Just choose "Import Graphic" and select as many files as you'd like. (Lord Nova Ice)

• Updated the following reference entries:
  • typesof proc
    
  • verbs var (atom)
