NEW VERSION OF LOCATION EDITOR FIXES BUG

by Hazed

The lovely shiny new location editor which debuted last month turned out to be flawed. Well, nothing in this life is perfect!

I discovered a bug that meant text was getting zapped from descriptions under certain circumstances. It didn’t happen all the time, which is why it had slipped under the radar when I tested the program before it was released.

Alan has now fixed the bug, and you can download the new version of the location editor from the website. There are two download packages: an upgrade package which you should download if you already have the new, revamped editor, and the complete installation package if you didn’t already install the new one.

With the new bug-free editor I have been able to catch up with the requests from players to make the files for their second planets, a service I offer to those who for various reasons can’t use the workbench themselves (for example those with vision problems or those using a non-compatible computer). Of course, it won’t be long until those people have another option to get their new planets, as you will see from the next story…
