This is related to the thread about the upcoming Beta release. I have completed the setup of a source server for TWX, and I have documented how to get started building TWX from the source. The page and links can be found here: http://www.twxscripts.com/building-twx

I hope that those of you who are adventurous and have something to contribute will read over it and give it a spin. To boot, you get the first shot to compile early beta code and gripe about it before anyone else

Thanks EP. Gives Daala and I something new to play with

Works for me Thanks EP

The only issue I had with the instructions was that I put the 'Builds" directory in the project directory (.\Builds)and it needed to be alongside the projects directory (..\Builds). I am using Turbo Delphi, I guess file structure was slightly different. I am going to try the same setup with the lite version and see how that works

Helix

Edit: The Portable TDLite install went without a hitch, compiled on the first try

Nice, thanks for the feedback. Just realize, that while that build says 2.05 Beta, there actually will be an official Beta that reads the same. I say that so noone is confused. The code available via the SVN link is interim, untested, pre-beta. Still, I think it works without any real issues... so far. I am far more likely to introduce real issues as I update the source with some of the larger changes I've been working on.

Also, I think I've altered how decimals are handled again, so be sensitive to possible rounding errors in code. I'll document all of that in due time.

Do we have a list of changes yet coming in the new beta?

Not finalized yet, though I will be documenting what has been changed so that beta testers will know what to try and break.

What I have found:
1. database created with 2.05 is not compatible with 2.04
2. Rounding errors while using the combined movers (LS and Wildstar)
3. A really annoying error message dialog box. When a server is down for what ever reason and you are trying to relog every disconnection causes a dialog box to pop up with the message: Asynchronous Socket Error 10060 - with an okay button, if you are trying to reconnect every 3 seconds, then you get 20 of those pop-up dialog boxes a minute.
4. Couldn't export the TWX database, popped a memory exception every time. (export bubbles, deadends and warpspec worked fine)
5. Throws a memory exception on exit like previous versions

Helix

Cool, thanks for the feedback. I'm familiar with all of those except the crash on exit. I believe this was originally a problem with how the 2.04 code was compiled, not the code itself. I'm hoping that your crash on exit is with the way you are compiling it, since I've not experienced a single crash on exit since porting the code to Turbo Delphi.

I'm still hoping to have a public build ready shortly, and I'll try to have a bug reporting feature ready by then as well.

Keep up the feedback,
+EP+

The crash on exit only occurs in the course of an extended session running scripts. Load it and exit, no error. Load it and run just a few scripts and exit, still no problem, run it overnight or several days running all the scripts you would in game and it pops an exception every time. Its been doing that since 2.04 beta.

Helix

Yep, I have the same 'error on exit' problem as Helix. Since 2.04.. at least

Consider this a "nightly build". I reiterate, it is not Beta yet, but is a properly compiled build of the latest source.

This is not the complete release, merely the twxproxy.exe. So just extract the .exe and overwrite your existing twxproxy.exe with this one, and delete the DB if it was not created from a previous source build.

The main reason I put this here is to see if anyone experiences the crash on exit using this code.

This is from a 8 hour run of twx, the only scripts I ran were mombot and pro ztm 40, when I tried to exit twxproxy, this error popped up.
