Up to Main Index Up to Journal for March, 2013 JOURNAL FOR SUNDAY 17TH MARCH, 2013 ______________________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT: Lost time & moving forward DATE: Sun Mar 17 16:43:02 GMT 2013 The week before last I was up to my eyeballs in PHP and last week I ended up with my machines busy rendering - as in ray tracing. This might seem odd as I'm not really an arty person, but I can do 'technical' drawing. This time I was rendering some logo designs using POV-Ray. I really like POV-Ray - which I've used on and off for many years - because I suits how I work. I create the model in my head and then create the scene files by hand. I could use a 3D modelling program - POV-Ray is just a renderer - but I don't. That's my excuses out of the way, what am I doing now? Well I've been taking stock of current WolfMUD development and it doesn't look good :( The last time I push out code to the public repository was December. Which seems a bit odd as I was sure I pushed out the crowd changes I made. The last local commit was January. Currently I have a lot of little changes and fixes as well as the record jar changes uncommitted. So firstly I'm cleaning up some patches and committing the smaller fixes and changes which I will push out today - with the crowd changes - to the public development branch. Secondly I'm trying to clean up the record jar changes so those can be committed and pushed out as well although they might take a little longer. Will post an update later when patches pushed out. -- Diddymus ______________________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT: Lastest changes to dev branch pushed out DATE: Sun Mar 17 23:21:18 GMT 2013 Just updated the public repository (dev branch) with the following commits: Andrew 'Diddymus' Rolfe <diddymus@wolfmud.org> (18): inventory: Added Length method location,basic: Add notion of a crowd basic: Reduce messages in crowded locations player: Don't announce arrival in crowded locations Merge branch 'crowds' into dev robot: Add error reporting + make more robust client: Test read errors after processing data client: Avoid repeated new allocations client: Make comment clearer location,basic: Cater for no obvious exits start: Fix grammer in a comment start: Defer recording of new starting point stats: Cleanup start function location/basic: Localise commands Fix /resolved/reserved/ in copyright text config: Simple config package to consolidate settings server: Switch to config package for settings stats: Switch to config package for settings It does not include any of the record jar changes yet.
