AS EXPECTED, ALAN’S NEW CODE HAD SOME DISPLAY PROBLEMS, BUT THEY WERE FIXED FAST

by Hazed

Last week we told you that Alan had some refactored code to go into the game, which rewrote some of the background functions relating to how the output is processed, specifically for FedTerm.

The code was put in at Tuesday’s reset, and as predicted, some problems showed up immediately. Messages about people entering or leaving a room showed up incorrectly, as well as notifications to do with factories.

Fixes for the problems reported were put in the next day – many thanks to those who mailed us the details.

While that should have dealt with the immediate issues to do with common functions that happen all the time, there may still be some problems that haven’t shown up yet, so if you spot anything else that looks wrong please continue to send email to feedback@ibgames.net (don’t forget to put Fed2 in the subject line).
