I enjoyed the daring tale of survival sir. :D I hope you get to keep your reputation too! As much as people are irritated by the bugs, believe me that no one is as annoyed by the broken code as I am. Lol! It totally sucks to pour a solid week's worth of work in to this thing only to have it plagued by some pretty problematic bugs. What bothers me most is that I did more testing on this version than any of the past versions, and these issues didn't come up. I had Kai running tests for days, and we even spent a good day or 2 just testing the multiplayer interaction code to make sure the server would work once you had more than 1 player in at a time. In almost all cases, if code works for 2 players it will work for as many as it's designed to handle.
Since posting the 1.2 update I haven't been able to work on the code yet. I've been reading through the messages jotting down notes of what must be fixed, but I've been busy catching upon a week's worth of household stuff I neglected, haha. I apologize for the many frustrating bugs, and I will do my best to have them fixed up soon! :D > As anecdotal evidence that it is > possible to survive even in trouble, I > exited then re-entered the game, only to find myself east > of the river with > 3 rounds of .45ACP ammo and nothing else.
