have you completed the scrambled ".saf" yet?

I DID NOT INVEST $84 INTO THIS DAMN GAME FOR SERVER UPDATES AND SCRAMBLED FILES! :twisted:

Sorry Phat. I blame the 150. To make up for it, here's a story on living life with huge muscles.

Can i beg for mesh collisions?

I'm definitely going to do something about that. The main question would be what primitive to use. I'd like it to prevent thin objects since they're sure to cause funky collisions at high speeds.

have you completed the scrambled ".saf" yet?

Thought I had the main algorithm done a couple of days ago but discovered I had a broken extended precision division routine which made it fail sometimes. Had to do this instead of the simpler routine I originally had. I could have used my normal long divide routine, but since this divides by the same number a lot the multiply by inverse way will make it load scrambled files much faster. Seems to work now so I just have to integrate it into the game.

Thanks JLV.

So longer load times??

[jlv]

Longer load times but nothing unreasonable.

Wood, it's not too complicated. Imagine you had to divide a lot of numbers by the same number. The fast way to do it would be to figure out the inverse of that number and multiply by that instead of dividing.

lol i got it.

it was mostly this part

broken extended precision division routine

I just pissed myself.

Any chance we're going to see the "fixed" stability anytime soon? I'm very much looking forward to that!

[Cooter181]

I'm guessing that's a no then??

[jlv]

That's a "I don't have a better estimate than what I've already given." The scrambled files are done though. Going to finish up some server scripts now then move on to the other stuff.

[Phathry25]

So?..... a couple weeks until the lighting updates are done then?

[racing100]

it says "cant find game data" when i open it

[Kawasakis]

We need some major update to keep things interesting thought.
