Change Log for v5.40 Discussion

[Steve Walmsley]

Steve ,

Have you a timescale yet for uploading v5. 4 as I can't wait to find out if Aurora will run on my Win 7 laptop with the changeable resolution.  At present I am  restricted to playing on my XP desktop.

Remember everyone, your sacrificial goats can only be 3 years of age or younger.  Any older and it just isnt kosher, and the knife needs to be silver with a gold handle, and serrated.  That bits important.

All hail Steve the Godhead!

Anyway hail to xerxes Steve for the new version!

There are 10 types of people who worship binary: Those who do and those who don't.

A slight delay I was almost ready but then I decided to add something new so I need to test it. A day or so should be enough.

.... We write the year 30 after the supposed release.
The masses are still waiting for the great update.
The world is an disarray.
But it is still not coming.
Everyday, people are praying on the street, everyday, sceptics commit suicide.
It is rumored that Steve has recently died of old age, muttering something about "just one last feature".

A special unit was sent to investigate, but found his house abandoned. The New version, 5.40, of Aurora, is assumed to be in his underground bunker, but the several thousand tons of hard drives can't be stolen that easily, and the guard robot only let's those past that win a game of poker against him.

Slowly, but steadily... the world sinks into darkness.

Man, that must be a great new version.

[MattyD]

Actually, I would rather wait a lot longer for 5.40 than have it come out now and become obsolete after a few weeks. I have something rather epic in mind for my next campaign that is going to take so long to do I'm afraid that I'll be playing the betamax version of Aurora by the time it gets interesting.

oh, and to keep in theme with this thread.....

... Dawn. The first rays of light illuminated the priests kneeling before the altar, as their ancestors in generations lost had knelt, heads facing the ground in fear of the light of their god. The shadow cast by the altar moved slowly across the worn marble floor until it touched the pitted metal casing that had once housed the colony's AI Prime. The long night was over, the high priest raised his head and declared,

"We welcome the day, we give thanks for deliverance from the cold dark night.".

The words were the same, said for more than a thousand years, since the evacuation of long forgotten Sol, since the plague wars, the collapse of society and its pale re-creation here 43 light years from the birthplace of man.

"Mind you", the High Priest said, "5.40 should be out this weekend."

Steve is is possible to have an import/export option, I just spend a great deal of time porting my BrightStar game, alas I have suffered some issues, with some missing details but enough to keep going on my game.

An Import / Export feature would be a really useful tool into the future as well, for future updates.

ran the 5.40 installer - got the reduced height windows in the Options menu but all it did was cut off the bottom of the normal size windows.....

Did I do something wrong?

Hmm that's weird. What resolution are you using?

BTW, you would be better posting something like this in the bugs thread. Otherwise, I will probably get distracted and forget about this message in this thread while I always go back to the bugs thread.

[Peter Rhodan]
