Whitehole v0.9 RC was barely released two weeks ago, and it's already been downloaded 200 times.
In the meantime, we all relaxed for a good while, the SMG2.5 team released a Whitehole showoff video, and everything was good. Or not. A few troubleful bugs surfaced a while after the release, most of them due to improper testing. All my fault. Getting Whitehole working has taken long enough, I kinda rushed the release, not taking the time to distribute prerelease versions to some betatesters or test an edited level on a Wii. The first and most annoying issue is related to the 3D interface. On certain configurations, it is impossible to select, move or add objects. Quite troubleful. Dirbaio has committed a fix that worked for him without breaking anything for me, let's hope it'll work for everyone... The second issue is that when saving an edited level, RARC repacking isn't done properly. Namely, a value in the RARC header (the 'file length' value) isn't updated. The issue apparently causes the game to freeze when loading an edited level on a Wii. It went undetected because I did all my testing on Dolphin. I knew that Dolphin is inaccurate, but not to the point that you can throw whatever shit at it and it'll continue running your game anyway. This time, some tests on the real hardware will be done to ensure that the bug is really fixed. Another issue worthy of note is that some SMG2 galaxies can't be edited because something goes wrong while prerendering them. I'll ensure that the renderer is fully failsafe for the next release. I also got a report that on OSX, when trying to interact with the level preview, it becomes tiny. But sadly this will most likely remain unfixed, unless it gets fixed accidentally. I don't have a Mac, and there's no way to virtualize a Mac because Apple are money whores and forbid it. In short, fuck OSX. The next release was supposed to have some interesting features, but those may take too much time to code for the v1.0 release, so I may scrap some stuff and move them to a later release. In the meantime, expect a stable, improved Whitehole v1.0 soon. ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

Yay Arisotura! Progress FTW!.
Also: Posted by Mega-Mario I've seen some Mac OSX VM images on TPB, so it *is* possible to virtualize it... Maybe you can give it a try. But yeah, Mac software sux in general... ____________________ Cool Stuff: Dirbaio.net (my boring site) - The NSMB Hacking Domain - Kuribo64 - ABXD DevBoard |

Maybe. But blargh, you know me and my permanent laziness... getting Linux to work in a VM can be tricky, but OSX... I bet that shit is full of checks to make it refuse to run on anything that isn't a Mac. And if the only ways to obtain an OSX image are illegal, there's no chance virtualization softwares would support Macs. ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

I tell you, I found a pre-packed VMWare image of OSX. So it *is* possible. ____________________ Cool Stuff: Dirbaio.net (my boring site) - The NSMB Hacking Domain - Kuribo64 - ABXD DevBoard |

Heheh. My first (and only) Mac I've had was this one. Good times. I was like 5 by then. ____________________ Cool Stuff: Dirbaio.net (my boring site) - The NSMB Hacking Domain - Kuribo64 - ABXD DevBoard |
