Version 0.1.24

Finally, it's here. Spurred on by the TSO-SE progress, I spent the weekend getting everything ready.

Features

• Earliest incarnation of the IM system is now live. You can IM each other by using the inbox from the city view.
• No longer possible to be online with the same character from two different computers.
• Locks! Tons of 'em. This means unprecedented server stability. I've tried crashing the city server again and again and again, and it refuses to crash.
• Client now requires admin privileges to run.
• City Selector panel now supports live updates of servers (cities) coming online and going offline (pretty useless feature, since it's likely there'll only ever be one city online at a time.)

You can download version 0.1.23 from here. If you still have PDBootstrap.exe, make sure to delete it before you install this. Once installed, run the shortcut from the desktop, and the client will update itself.

Oh i get the idea now about how to send messages I must click name and then press some sending button that opens chat box after I got it open I pressed enter and it crahsed my client.

And now when I would try again to send message by pressing those buttons on my screen, there are no players there was some Lucy or someone like that named but he quit after I crashed my client few times.

Yeah, someone on Facebook already notified me!
But the fact that the servers aren't crashing is very nice
I'll look into it when I get home.

Getting to East Jerome works on my end! Now if I can figure out these buttons you guys are talking about xD

Cityscreen loading progress freezes pretty often might that be caused by the current menu song? Cause when it happens I keep reopening client and trying again. And sometimes it load it succefully.

Someone message me! :3

Great can't wait to play this update when I get home (in like 5 mins)

I know, it happens to me too. The fact that the city server now deals with the error without crashing is actually a major improvement!

Did anybody figure out how to send messages? I am online right now, and when I click anything nothing works.

Okay update I see the players online, and I cannot send a message because I am getting a huge window pop up, and then a crash.

Here's a screenshot...

I've been working on fixing that bug, and I did, but then I came further down the rabbit hole and discovered that there's another bug where replying to a message will attempt to clear out the current text before sending (I think, because it is being optimized by the CLR.)
I tried fixing it with a lock, but can't right now because my client was crashing, and apparently never closed the socket to the server properly, so the server thinks it's still online.
This has been a surprisingly busy day for me, so I'm tired and going to bed now.
Until tomorrow, enjoy the fact that the servers are more stable than ever and you can log on 10,000 times without breaking anything!

EDIT: If Rhys sees this message, seeing as he's online, he could test my latest commit and just upload the changed exe to somewhere...

Scratch what I said earlier, I didn't commit the potential fix yet, because I didn't test it.
EDIT: Rhys, I still don't know what's wrong with Offredo's account. I thought it was because I hadn't set the number of sims on his account, but I did set it in the DB and he still can't log in!
Offredo95, do you have two accounts?

Oh fuck it, now you're making me get out of bed. >_<
Gimme five minutes.

Latest is now committed!

Idk, I logged in like 5 minutes ago, got stuck on city loading screen and now can't even sign in. But thats fine I'll just keep trying!
