Environment change

Due to this recent change (pops), border wall calculations will be off in some cases.  This will be fixed in an upcoming patch.

Firefox 3 Compatibility

Well, it looks like becoming compatible with Firefox 3 was easier than I thought it would be. I’m ready to roll whenever the new version comes out, and the next version I release should be completely compatible.

Interactive Interface Ideas

Some of you have already seen the drag and drop demo, and something else I wanted was a sort of windowing system for things like undo, redo, and a toolbar where you could pull in new rows. I found this one, which is freakin awesome except there’s a visual bug that it suffers from in Macintosh Firefox that is fixed, but the fix won’t be available until FF3 comes out. There are a good number of Mac CNExtend users so if I use this panel system I won’t be able to release until FF3 comes out.

Updates in v1.2.0

  • Wonder tips are in for wonder purchases, but not deletions.  Why would you delete a wonder?
  • Factories now have associated tips.
  • If you set your extended display to default, then it now works properly instead of breaking (thanks seanvdb)
  • Many code refactorings to make the improvement and wonder code easier to maintain.

I’ve started testing my code with the Firefox 3 betas, and I’ve got my work cut out for me. I’d like to start working on a more interactive display, but first I’ve got to make sure it won’t be broken for a month after they release FF3. I just finished root causing an issue with loading the XML files in FF3, and it took at least half a day to do it. Basically, that means that until I can get all that working I can’t proceed on new features.
