Hi,

Yes, the browser may decide that:

for (size_t i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
double x = sin(cos(sin(cos(i*i))));

Is a good thing to do inside the message loop, I on the other hand don't...

I have converted Eclipse Evolution to 4.1, unfortunately I have had to rip a
significant part out of it because some absolute idiot decided to put a
logic bomb in the SDK when a debugger was detected (As any programmer will
tell you, this is STUPID) leaving me unable to test them, so they arnt
enabled for stabilitys sake.

That said, I have put 2 files online:

For existing Evo users you can download:

www.temporal-solutions.co.uk/downloads/evo41_265.zip

This contains a 4.1 SDK, an updated bot, and updated universe list. You
simply unzip the files into the same folder as your 3.6 evo, over-writing as
necessary.

For those of you whom have never used Evo before... There is a full 4.1
'first time' download:

http://www.temporal-solutions.co.uk/downloads/evo41_257_full.zip

Which will get you set up using the latest version.

Should you want to know what commands are and are not available, I put the
dispatch table up at http://www.pastecode.com/316 the bit after the
IMPL_FUNCTION is the command, if that command line is green, it aint
available.


~~~~

The eject systems now work, as does the main database and greetings...
HOWEVER.

Due to the logic bomb inside the SDK, I cannot properly system test this
bot, so you must remember you are *using it absolutey at your own risk*

</rant>

That said, its still a pretty nice bot if I may say so myself.

Not unless someone can confirm it was his idea.

If I recall correctly he's AWI's chief nerd, so who says it wasn't his
idea? The blame always lies with the person in charge ;)

[View Quote] Even if it was his idea, Chris is ultimately *not* the person in charge
of the SDK's usage limits. The SDK is intellectual property fully owned
by AWI, and because of this, the company itself has to authorize and
approve of any changes made to the SDK code. If you want to complain
about the debugger issue, then I suggest you complain to the head and
not to the hands. You can bet that I will.

From memory, they fixed the debug issues only after *some* citizens were
messing with memory addresses and doing all fancy kind of things, including
enabling object selection back in Stagecoach to check out the new object
properties.

[View Quote] Although it took me 2 hours instead of 120 seconds, I have identified a bug
that will cause a crash in the teleport command. This only effects the
verbal command (requires: core/move rights).

I will hopefully be releasing a patch tomorrow with this bug fixed, along
with the following commands re-enabled:

- goto
- world/about
- world/info
- avset
- setstate
- sys/quit
- sys/reconnect
- sys/rciss
- sys/sciss
- burst
- ssnd

The reports/tactical command has been switched to administrator only with a
set of flags that control if each part is displayed, the rot (redirect
output target) command now includes a title header.

It should be out tomorrow, just warning you about the teleport bug really.
Im not aware of any other crash bugs.
