The most stable BYOND yet! Well, maybe not, but there are lots of little fixes within. Please test it out.

Fixed: Certain "?topic" links weren't working as expected from within the browser.

Unfortunately, older versions of IE make it nearly impossible for us to handle URLs that begin with "?". If you want completely portable code, use "byond://?" instead. I have noticed this problem in Tanks and LivingDead.

I think it has to do with the savefiles belonging to specific players. If you can think of one that causes a crash, please send that savefile to [email protected].

It only saves my savefile when it crashes.

I am talking about the crashes you get when somebody logs in. I believe it is crashing while reading their savefile. If you know which savefiles might be causing a crash, send them to me.

I just sent you guys a few files, and a long explanation of what is going on in MLAAS. I hope it helps!

Fixed: the new movement animation code was making it possible to move at odd-numbered footstep sizes, which was causing trouble with map scrolling in small icon mode. (Deadron)

I don't *think* I reported that, unless I reported something else that was actually that. Just don't want to be stealing someone's credit!


Fixed: Objects animated with SYNC_STEPS were sometimes jumping from random positions on the screen when missing a head object and moving over a large distance. (Deadron)

Ah, good job figuring out the SYNC_STEPS part. Everything described here was true for my case, but I realized that I didn't report a bunch of those aspects, not having considered them as possibly significant.

Well, this is in reference to the corrupted screens that you posted. I was able to produce corrupted displays by moving on diagonals in LivingDead, so I assumed that it was the same thing you produced, but if it was not, then please try whatever you were doing again and make sure it is indeed fixed.
