BYOND v.306 "public" release

We fixed a few minor things and released this publically (on the hub). If you have downloaded 306 previously, you won't get an update notice since we didn't change versions. You can just install it manually by visiting the download page. Here are the daily fixes:

  • Fixed: DS was crashing in certain situations involving large viewports. (Spuzzum)

  • Fixed: Properties weren't inheriting from /atom. (Deadron)

  • Fixed: The mapper's "replace all" option wasn't working for certain obscure cases.
    (Deadron)

  • The mapper is now more intelligent about detecting whether turfs can be "inserted" or "replaced" (based on their transparency).

  • The "2" macro wasn't working for some reason. Stupid windows. (Raven01)

  • The mouse-pointer position on the map wasn't accurate in small-icon mode.

  • The custom mouse-pointers now shrink-to-fit to the icon-size on the map.

Is this the one in the "Downloads" page, or has this version just been updated alittle further?

Also where would I find the new mouse pointers?

(Also is Dream Maker compatible with MP3 files yet, as in my next game I am hoping to include an MP3 file)

This is just a thought wouldn't MP3 files take up alot of space since most MP3s are over 1 mb,Wouldn't this take up a great amount of server space?

Most MP3s may be over 1MB, but only because most MP3s are of complete commercial songs, and saved at low degree of compression to preserve as much of the original quality as possible.

However, a shorter song or excerpt saved at a slightly lower quality could be a small file, especially compared to a .wav file. MP3s are compressed... .wavs are not.

I think a BYOND sound file would be nice. It could be composed like a midi file, or recorded like a wave file.

Just a guess, but if MP3 if ever supported, I imagine they won't forget to mention it.

So exactly what would be the point?
