Too close to call...

 

I am still working toward fixing that database.  A lot of it is fixed, but I had to apply a new fix as well. :/  To do that, I am going to have to delay the Friday results.  They probably won't be available until around 6:00 PM EST, though I will try to get them up soon.

 

Sorry about that.

I'll still be turning the update on ~ 12:00 PM EST, but it will take a couple of extra hours to finish it tonight.

 

Sorry for the delay.

We're in the homestretch (pun intended) of the viewer being completed.   I have been purposely vague on the progress of things given the fact that things didn't get finished last year, but I can whole heartedly say that Blit Interactive totally rocks!   I am very hopeful that you will all agree within the next several weeks (thanks to mtk76 for the recommendation, btw).

 

You guys have probably noticed that the CPU mares can currently not be bred to.  This is because the database "fix" I mentioned last week didn't work.   I (hopefully) fixed that code and am now rerunning things, but I had to temporarily disable the CPU mare breeding functionality due to the problems the original "fix" caused.  Let's hope my new code performs as expected.

 

Finally : the game will be making some changes soon.  For most players, these changes will go practically unnoticed.  For players that have been taking advantage of the many liberties I currently allow, things will change notably.  As much as I love children (I have four), it's time to weed out some of the immaturity in the game.  Consider this a promise...

I have the code in place to correct the database, but will have to wait until after this week's update to start running it.  The problem with that is that it will take several days to match the "good" and "bad" database and determine the correct previous owners.

 

Long and short : I'll be fixing the retired horse database throughout the course of next week as the updates complete.

 

Thanks!

I realized updating the databse midweek isn't going to work out well due to pending breedings.

 

For this reason, I am going to wait until this weekend to do a major update.  This should fix most existing problems with the retired hrose database.  We'll know if I'm right when it's done. :)

 

Thanks for your patience!

I'll be updating the game a few hours later than usual today.  It's father's day in the US, and I am taking my dad out for lunch and a couple of other things.

 

Sorry for the dalay.

PS - If I get a chance later, I'll uploada  newer screen shot of the viewer.  I have kept up with the thread, and don't worry about the silks.. it's on the agenda.  As for the "puppy paws", I'll mention it as a "follow up" item (though it's definately low priority).
