New version of iClan, 1.1.

Get it here.
  • * Fixes the problem with clanning times being off by 300 years or so. Apparently 'Dec' has an 'e' in it. Who knew?
    * Fixes a feature nobody ever noticed and adds another that nobody will ever notice that will probably need fixing some day.
    * All other changes this version are nonexistent. Have fun exploring!

I've just started using this and I love it. However...

One thing I would also love to have owuld be an ic clock somewhere, don't really mind which one the whatsits it's in.

Yes this will help me tell if llehn is on Ki or not already :p

-Daine.

Edit: Oh and would someone sticky this please! Also perhaps editing the first post to always have the current versions linked? They were a little hard to find. Thanks!

Clespia might be the solution your looking for. It's better (IMHO) then Puddleclock was.

An insanely great program!

Clespia rocks. People come by, look at the time on my computer and ask if I'm Norse or something when they see I have the day as 'Fordi'.

I'm guessing that the problem is with the CL server, not iClan. Clan Lord Informer has the same problems, and that's on the official DT website.

actually we can blame Noivad. He put some characters in his announcement that is breaking XML Parsers.

Code: Select all

n_Page <== Visi
The less than and two equal signs are also breaking StoraCam. Maybe someone at DT can change the message to remove them or we will need to write a clearer for our XML parsing.

Actually we can blame the server-side script that fails to properly escape text sequences and generates broken XML.

I already have some hacks in iClan to handle the fact that non-ASCII characters aren't encoded properly, so I'm not terribly surprised that messages aren't being escaped.

*sigh*

We already know what the issue is and we have a patch to fix it. Since it deals with some sensitive parts of CL, we didn't want to just restart the script since an update is just a few days away anyway.

It's usually customary to give the affect parties 30 days or so to fix an issue before posting the root causes.

In any event, I guess we'll restart things now.

I know zero about XML parsing, but shouldn't your program be aware that it is reading raw text and that players can put anything in it, up to and including fake XML data?

IMHO, it's your bug, unless your asking DT to escape the special characters to make your life easier.

I think this is definitely DT's bug. We should've escaped the characters better than we did.

I just wish we were given a bit more time to test and upload the fix before it was posted. I know it's minor. It's not like it'll break anything but the Informer, but usually courtesy says to let the afflicted fix their problems before publishing the problem. Otherwise, it's called a "zero day exploit." Luckily, this is minor.
