Since there's not much to update in here (like a gaming blog would have), we're gonna drop some small news. In both, forum and sphere.

I'll start with the forums:
* Added the SphereCommunity icon to the header (thanks Valios), from now on, that's our official image. Some users in the IRC said there's "something strang inside the sphere", well, I think they're kinda pervs.
* Tweaked a little the forum, now you can see a "View Unread Posts" button at the top, the unread posts are marked as unread inside the thread. And of course, the links and headers are now search-engine friendly, which (I hope) will help us to find some of the old memebers.

Now, back to Sphere. Since I've seen some complaining about the development, here's the changelog of the last month. Ben and Terrikate are doing awesome.

Good stuff, one question:

Does this mean we can patch in our own platforms?

Oh, good that they noticed about my subliminal message. It's clear that the wet vagina inside the sphere represents the birth of a brand new emulator that squirt innovations and awesomeness Smile

well, looks like that Sauron was a female at the end

Anarch Cassius · 10-14-2012 07:31 AM

Okay, so I'm not the only one who had that initial reaction to the logo.

Rayvolution · 10-14-2012 11:14 AM

I think what a lot of people are failing to realize, is on the core code side of the house Sphere is actually a very stable, well rounded platform. There's not much that can be improved at this point beside keeping the scripts themselves updated (and thats was SCP2 is all about!)

Sure, a feature here and there no one thought about is handy (like the party triggers) but in general all there is left to do is fix minor bugs, and most of those go unnoticed by the unaffected, so people just assume "nothing is getting done!"

All in all as long as we all stick together and help Sphere grow, we'll be al'right!

<Sarcasm>
Also!! I want Sphere to script from my thoughts, I want the scripts to write themselves and be fully functional, and ready to go *before* I even know I want them!

..and where's my Guild Wars 2 support BEN! I want it out by next week or else! *waves fists* Wink

</Sarcasm>

You can patch what?

Skul · 10-14-2012 09:01 PM

Larger foundations into multi.mul and use as custom a larger platform? lol, I'm guessing this can't be done since it would cause memory leaks before...?

***Ben*** · 10-14-2012 11:48 PM

you would have to try it... the memory leak that ppl are talking about was just a packet being sent when not needed (on every step when multi was in radar, but not in view)... this has been fixed. There is still another instance where the packet is sent over and over and that's when the MOVE command is used.(all is removed from view then brought back). This I would consider not to be normal play situation and would not consider it a problem, but this is why the issue was never closed.
