Subgame 2010 Bug Fix

[PoLiX]

Since 01/01/2010 Zones have been reporting a bug with Subgame where *log will show either only the date, or the date and action on 2 seperate lines. PriitK has promised to fix this bug once he returns from vacation, but until then Divine.216 was able to do a simple hack to subgame to fix it.

 

Feel free to download Divine's fixed version of Subgame2.exe from ASWZ's Website.

 

Thanks to Divine for this fix.

I'm surprised this got a hackfix so fast. It sounds like we'll have the same problem in 2020 though.

Yup, that's how it currently is (fixed), unless Priitk changes the server software to write the date to the log in a more reliable way. Nobody knows if Priit K. is able though (nobody knows if he got the full source to the server in the first place).

 

Ratio> 1:cycad> junky, subgame was doing strstr(asctime(now), "199") and strstr(asctime(now), "200")) to find the year

I doubt subgame will still be used in 10 years... I actually hope it's not.

 

divine's fix is fine, the only thing Priitk has to do is to fix TW (and 17th Parallel, I guess)

lol polix, u say its so hard to contact priitk, then u say u already know he will try to do something when comming from a vacation? makes no sense. So he's just suddenly so reachable?

[PoLiX]

Yep.

 

After almost a year, he replied to Ghost on his skype. We think only cause he was on vacation and paying attention to it. But told ghost he'd try to get around to fixing it.

 

Don't take it that he is easily reachable though. It was just all random timing and luck in our eyes.

that's awesome polix

I forgot to say earlier - great news, Polix, thanks for all those involved in getting Priitk in fixing the problem.

 

Thumbs up
