BYOND 4.0 Version 472.1077 Release Notes

Dream Daemon

Using roll() with too high a number of rolls could take a very long time to compute, causing the server to freeze in some extreme cases. Because rolling more dice makes the result less likely to deviate far from the average roll, a simpler method is now used in which most of the rolls are computed as an average, and the rest are done the old-fashioned way one at a time. This only affects very large numbers of dice; otherwise the old method is used. (tenkuu)

Dream Maker

Pasting icons of different sizes, and repasting the same icon multiple times, could cause inconsistent behavior and possibly crash Dream Maker. (Sphinxe1)

Increasing the number of directions in an icon within the movie editor reset the animation delays to the default instead of preserving them. (Falacy)

Dream Seeker

When changing from a mix of stat panels and verb panels to a single verb panel only, the contents of the verb panel would not appear. (Xyphon101)

Grid autosizing was being done after scrollbars were set, not before, which prevented the grid from picking a proper size and sometimes caused unnecessary scrollbars to appear. (Falacy)

After editing macros in Dream Seeker, keyboard focus did not return to the game. (Nadrew)

Features (more info)

BYOND Pager

If the pager is configured to play sounds, it will no longer do so when another program is in fullscreen mode, to avoid interrupting games.

DM Language

screen_loc now supports a CENTER keyword, allowing screen objects to be positioned relative to the center of the map view instead of the edges.
