The Red Book - UNDOCUMENTED FEATURES GALORE!1!!!11

Sun, 28 Apr 2013 23:36:47 +0000

The Red Book

I'm sure some of you have seen or heard of the Red Book before. It's essentially just a list of Undocumented features (Un-doc), Previously-documented features (Pre-doc), and Semi-documented features (Semi-doc) with some documentation about them thrown in! It's not anything definitive, just...some information.

I created it around...a year ago? Not entirely sure, but I got lazy and decided to make a post "announcing" that it exists! There's a lot of stuff in the 'to do list' at the bottom, which, I will get to eventually.

However, I'd like some user input - if anything needs to be expanded or clarified, or if you have submissions of your own. Stuff about organization, etc.

Currently, the Red Book contains information about:

Client side commands
Hub and member page text format
+- Infinity
to, step, in
client.Export() calls
/proc or /verb references
static modifier
modified types
and a bunch of other silly things!

Will this video get to 1 billion as well? Gangnam Style is almost at 2 billion...

Is anyone experiencing some delays or unresponsiveness in the pager?

Sat, 13 Apr 2013 20:07:03 +0000

The friend / block / favorite buttons take a really long time to update for me, if they update at all.

The Lookup function for games & users doesn't generate a list most of the time, just shows the loading thing.

Anyone else getting anything like that?

I wonder if this is something with my computer - especially with the other issues I've been getting with the lack of pager notifications.

Version 1.7 - Even MORE REACTIONS!

Every time balls collide, sparkles will shoot off from the newly reacted ball - unreacted balls may collide with these and cause more reactions. There is also a concept of an 'endgame' now. 25 is the max level. Once you've finished that, that's it!
It'll give you some more information about how well you did.

A way to force connection to the hub

Tue, 09 Apr 2013 04:11:12 +0000

Sometimes, the pager simply stops communicating with the hub. It's not noticeable until you've checked the website and you have notifications you haven't gotten on the pager.

This used to happen quite frequently on the old pager for me, I even requested a feature to show when it last communicated with the hub - but I think it was purged, or something.

Sure, the pager shows you when it can't establish a connection to the BYOND hub upon login/startup - but not if the connection drops while the pager is running.

A refresh button with a cooldown, it resets the connection to the hub, or something.

The time I got accused of DDOSing a Naruto game.

Around 30 minutes ago.

Is this an April Fools joke?
If so, it's not a very good one.

Version 1.4 - background color and window manipulation

Sat, 30 Mar 2013 20:42:34 +0000

March 30, 2013 - Version 1.4
You can now change the color of the background, in between levels or while paused. There's a box in the center of the screen with the color, simply click it, and you'll be prompted for a new color.

the + and - buttons on your keyboard can now increase or decrease the size of the window, to a certain point. This makes some of the text unreadable, so, I'll look into a way of fixing that.

There has also been some optimization, should be less lag and delay. Thanks to Kaiochao.

Kinder Eggs

Sat, 30 Mar 2013 03:53:05 +0000

I'm sure some european (and any non-american) members know what Kinder Eggs are.
They're chocolate eggs, with a toy inside.

However, they're banned in the US. Importing them is illegal, because they have a toy inside. A supposed choking hazard - only 6 people have ever died from them, apparently. That's not a choking hazard, that's natural selection at work.

I've had Kinder Eggs, they're great. The toys are great too.

However some people are being arrested and fined for simply bringing these great things over borders.

Americans, sign the petition, please.

Icon for single player games

Fri, 29 Mar 2013 00:38:45 +0000

The website used to have an icon () for single player games, in the hub listing. That should definitely return, and there should probably a similar icon on the pager. Hubs with live servers already have an icon indicating that they're playable.

I think people tend to ignore games that have a live server, because they don't realize it's playable without one.

Posting this in the beta forum, because this is relevant to the beta pager right now.

Idea: merging the 'Blocked' button into the Friends dropdown

Thu, 28 Mar 2013 22:15:13 +0000

I think with the new pager, it's time to escape the need for popup windows.

The could be integrated into the [Show: Friends/Fan] dropdown, and the list of blocked/banned users would appear in place of the Friends list.
It wouldn't show the status or game the user is in, it'd just list them. The [x] button would remove them from the ban list.
