New builder!

[+smthng]

I didn't see it posted anywhere else, so I figured I'd let everyone else know as well...

 

I see on the Wherigo site that there is a new version of Builder up...

Current Version: 2.0.4825.3287

Last Release: 2/25/2008

Size: 2 MB

 

I'm downloading it now and will start updating and completing my tutorial if possible.

 

Any chance we can get a list of fixes that were completed for that?

There has been a posting in the pinned "builder release" thread - you also find the list of fixes there

There is a readme file that gets installed with the builder. Mainly, the fix is to support regional settings so that numbers, coordinates and date/time are supported. The lua file always stores those values in en-US settings.

IS this the place to go GRRRRRRRRRRR and say I can't open the cartridge I've been working on over the weekend?

The release notes also say the task events are now corrected.

A quick test seems to show this is true, they do fire.

 

But...

 

When I put an if statement in the Status change handler for a task, it would not ever enter the if block

it seems the actual value of the Status is not set before the event is fired. I tried for complete True & False, and neither case would enter the if statement.

I have the same troubles, some of the error tekst is in DUTCH though. Can't load any of my cartridges.

OK to use a technical term I think - I came up with this bodge:

 

I made a copy of my .lua file.

 

Then opened the copy in Notepad.

 

Search for the code below and just change dates to the American Format.

 

i.e. I changed 24/2/2008 to 2/24/2008

en-US is the regional settings for US. The data in the lua file must be in the US regional settings. This means that date/times must be in the above format and that the coordinates will be xx.xxxxx format. The regional support in the cartridge means that the builder will be able to open a lua file (in the us format) and properly format the data for your regional settings. Then, the builder will save the lua file in the us settings. Lua doesn't deal with regional settings very well.

Yeah, it is 1/2 fixed. The tasks are written out correctly. You'll see taskname.OnSetActive etc. But, the firing of the tasks is still broken and needs to be fixed in our engine. I'll try to get a timeline on that one.
