Greetings from the Wonderful World of Dragon Slaying! You’ll be seeing this on quite a few of the Vue boards, just to make sure that the most people get an idea as to how things are going in Vue Land. The C3D mods and admins are currently hammering merrily away on build number 278184. This is the 3rd build sent to us since the triple 5.08 trainwreck was pulled. Things are proceeding on - both- the PC and the Mac front; not only are the new issues being stomped on, but any old bugs that show their heads as well. In the process, we’re also finding that some of the ‘bugs’ that users have complained about, particularly with imported content, have little to nothing to do with Vue and everything to do with -how- the content was created in the first place. We are doing our best to break things, so that when the update is ready for prime time, we will be certain it will be stable (knowing software, no way am I gonna even hint that everything will be fixed :P ). The auto-registration system is being completely reworked, and is one of the major reasons that the store remains closed. To get the old system out, they are going to have to modify, and in some cases completely redo, the content. Everyone’s download counter will be reset. Make sure you know exactly what you have purchased, however; there’s always the chance of a database corruption. The website is being tweaked from suggestions, and glitches are being found and de-glitched regularly. Plans are underway to use the downtime to ready a contest or three, put together some tutorials, and investigate adding content suitable for the owners of Vue 4 to the store, since it was discovered that lots more people than anticipated haven’t upgraded. So the inventory will most likely be growing either before, of just after, the store finally reopens. Any questions, hop over the Cornucopia3d site and ask away. Both the forums and gallery are up and running, so you know where to find us all huddled behind our covered wagons... :P
