As
regular as he can be, Khaled has released the latest bug fix. It seems
like the no new release is good enough without the proper bug fix. I mean,
have you ever noticed script requiring mIRC 5.5, 5.6, 5.7 or so ? Oh, no,
it always is 5.61, 5.71, 5.81 and so on. I myself decided to employ mIRC's
(5.8) newest features and build up a decent MP3 player within mIRC itself.
So I got to work, and started designing the dialogs. I have used some of
DragonZap DLLs in the process, in order to make it look better. And, fortunately,
everything seemed to work OK. |
But
then, one day I noticed I had no repeat function, so I added one. And that
is where the problems started. I added a simple play routine within the On
MP3END event, and it seemed that mIRC got into an endless loop whenever it
tried to repeat a certain song. Further more, the same thing occurred
whenever a sound was played, no matter the file type. BAH, I thought I was
making some mistake, so I let it all go. |
The
dialogs got messed up again. Now, it was the icons not showing up within
frames. Again, redesigned most of the dialogs, just for the script to work
with 5.8. Nevertheless, furious is a small word for what I was feeling. |
And
then, magic happened ?!? Khaled decided to do a bug fix, and released the
5.81 edition. Proven to be a master of the IRC clients, fixed every glitch
I managed to encounter. After all, the Media Player was working perfectly,
and the dialogs got to what they were once more. |
The
point is, should we all experiment with the newest releases ? And is it
worth it all that coding and changing, just in order for everything to
look up to what it should. I think Khaled should employ better testers. |
