(Windows update) (notes)

Version 355.914 contains two minor changes for Windows:
  • Fixed: when installed on Windows from a non-administrator account, the byond:// protocol was not registered, and BYOND programs could not find the BYOND data directory.
  • Added text-mode Dream Maker (dm.exe) on Windows.

BYOND 354 remains the latest version for Unix.

Please post thorough bug reports in the Bug Reports forum, and general discussion in the comments here.
Woot. An update! Keep up the good work.

But... to me, it seems like dm.exe is a step backwards. Why anyone would want it, and what the applicable uses are, are beyond my comprehension...

I played around with it for a bit, but don't really see how it does anything I can't already do in a GUI environment with dream maker.

You can now automatically compile worlds in Windows, which is very nifty.
Nice, I was wondering when you guys would come out with the dm.exe! Great work guys!
I wish the pager would let you change the background color(by background i mean the area where text/info/ect is displayed). Thank for the update anyway =D
We have a new pager that we are beta-testing. It allows configuration of the style (colors + fonts), as well as some other stuff.
Woot! I think I'm going to write my own IDE, then. Just a simple IDE, no icon editor or map editor or anything.
That was my first thought as well, making a new IDE. I'd like have to an icon editor in there as well... or at least a way to compile multiple images into a dmi. I could definitely pull off a map editor though.

More freedom. We can now use our preferred IDE, or make our own.
Awesome, but now can you fix the Unread News box on the front page? :P

Not when there's no bug. Click the Read all... link.
But I have read all! I was up to date when this latest announcement came out. I click on the subject line, and I read the whole post. Therefore I shouldn't have to click the "Read all..." button to clear the news. :(

KennyHoHoHo, I suggest you go to the BYOND FAQ, failing that go to the BYOND forums and explain your problem in legible english - then I'm sure someone will be glad to help you. :)
hiya, I've upgraded my pc to windows xp and now i'm trying to get back into byond with my account and it's not allowing me to launch the byond 355... I don't have the firewall up and I already have my key.. can someone plz help me?
I know this may sound a little repetitive and I know it takes a lot of work to do what you guys are doing, but when do you predict BYOND 4.0 will be out? I've been with BYOND for about 4 years, and I love everything you guys do. Just keep up the good work.
I think the rumours say, sometime this year.

I think what you need to do is not necropost and make a post in the BYOND forums for help.
