Evac and #zone problems?

[So_1337]

That's the way things go, and there's no need to apologize. It's hard to code for twelve different versions of something, and there's a reason that things stop receiving support after awhile.

The only reason I really cared about finding the 0.6.2 client instead of Titanium was originally because of giants having cyclops heads. Then I heard it was more stable than the Titanium client and stuck with it. Is there really more reason than that? I'll ditch it without too much hesitation, especially if future updates are going to be centered around the Titanium client.

We're not talking about dropping the 6.2 client. But I think its fair to say we have progressed maybe a little further with Titanium. This is a problem for the 6.2 client, but I am still evaluating this particular issue and will code the best possible workaround to accommodate both the 6.2 and Titanium clients.

[So_1337]

Aye, sorry. Just saying that I understand if that becomes the case over time. You've got me wondering now if some of the crashes I've seen have anything to do with missing op codes that could be explained by the difference in clients. But nothing to derail this thread with, my apologies Your work is appreciated as always.

Actually, it's not that big of a deal - My dilemma was with Titanium bugs like the twisted head problem and thats all been fixed.
Here's some Titaniums for sale for under 20.00

Haha. I have it, I just used the 0.6.2 client because I heard it was more stable. Heck, I even just ordered a copy online this week for a friend. I didn't realize twisted heads were fixed! Damn you code wizards and your wonderful voodoo

I tested one solution that will make both 6.2 and Titanium clients zone consistent with live and identical to one another. I am going to code another solution now and see which one works the best. Either way, I believe I'll commit a patch to this issue tonight and it should be available by tomorrow.

To do this, we are all going to have to live with the zoning message not being correct ("Entering Plane of War" could be displayed instead of the correct zone) during an evac/succor spell as well as perhaps the #zone command.

Maybe change that text to say a more general message, like " Entering new zone ..."

Actually, quite the opposite in fact. Titanium uses less memory and crashes far less often than 0.6.2. That and there is the fact that much of the recent code has been written with Titanium in mind, and not so much 0.6.2.

There was once a time when 0.6.2 was the better choice, but I feel Titanium has caught up and surpassed it.
