Ok, for you adventurous types, back up your whole kudos game directory first, then install this:

I get an error when buying fishfood with 1.1. Kudos freezes and an error box comes up “No Free Channels:C:\DATA\PROGRAMMING\MILO\GUI_Sounds.cpp 399”

Damn, is that reproduceable, or was it a one off?

5

Definitely reproducable. If you’re buying anything and you click repeatedly and quickly on the buy button it seems to be unable to cope with producing the cash register sound.

cheers, I’ll investigate.

Ok found it, I’ll make sure that’s fixed when I release the main version tommorow, I’ll rename that to 1.1a ;(

You’re a star. Couple of other things. The keyboard is still nv_music_keyboard. Also the problem of being unemployed when you reload your game still seems to be there.

I like the Journalism. Aren’t editors better paid than that? Alan Rusbridger gets £329,000. Nice work if you can get it.

It’s a shame that Basic IT skills aren’t a minimum qualification for a legal career in real life. I’ve spent the afternoon talking my father through sending an email.

heh. I guess wages arent that high in Slough.
That unemployed bug really really should be gone, I can’t repro it now. Is this with brand new save games that you get it?
I’ll sort out that missing bit of text too.

I think it was but I couldn’t swear to it. I’ll try and reproduce it.
