Hi all.

TT3141X.zip and TT3141.zip are now available on 
ftp://weblabs.eu.com/ToonTalk/Releases/. The X version has new dialogs 
that are currently in English only -- though the English versions are 
copied to the Portuguese and Swedish folders so they at least work. If 
unzipping TT3141X.zip be sure to unzip so that the relative file paths 
are preserved.

Besides many bug fixes (see www.toontalk.com/English/bugs05.htm for 
details) there are two changes:

1. X version only. When loading a city or object you now see a message 
showing progress and indicating that you can interrupt the load by 
pressing the Escape button. You can also interrupt the saving of an 
object or city by pressing Escape or Pause. This change was motivated by 
a significant number of bug reports about ToonTalk freezing when it was 
just that a city or object with tens of thousand of parts was slowly 
being loaded. When interrupting the loading of a city you now have the 
option of going to the previously saved city or entering ToonTalk 
without a special city. Also if a user saves a city that is "too big" 
they can now interrupt. Loading over the internet is now interruptible 
as well. Some of these new features don't apply to time travel since it 
would break if a user interrupted the saving or loading of cities.

2. You can paste or drag and drop DMO and CTY files into ToonTalk now. 
And the 'File to Object' sensor now works with DMO and CTY files. This 
is for both the X and non-X versions since it was a bug that if you 
brought one of these files into a running ToonTalk strange things 
happened or it crashed.

There are a few known bugs that I'll work on soon but nothing serious. 
And I think there are problems with bringing DMO or CTY files into 
ToonTalk when time travelling or replaying a demo.

Best,

-ken
