The vagaries of debugging

Posted in Uncategorized at 12:45 am by able

Hello! I am still busily working away at the next release of the Able Edition viewer with improvements to the Mute Visibility functionality. I’ve discovered a couple of problems with how my new viewer handles sim crossings; namely, that it handles them rather poorly.

I have a good idea of the root cause of the troubles, but I don’t want to release a new viewer until I’ve gotten these last couple of bugs fixed. I should also note that this upcoming release will still be based on version 1.18.0.6 of the official viewer, and will not incorporate voice support (which is present in 1.18.1.2).

Migrating the Mute Visibility changes to the latest voice-enabled viewer will take some time, and I want to make at least one more release before updating to the latest official viewer source. I had originally intended to make build 41573 of my viewer available this past weekend, but, alas, the sim crossing problems squashed that notion. Time permitting, I will have a new release this coming weekend.
