#Byond beta update#
Probably most significantly, everyone (in 499+) can use the pager and update system hopefully this will not be spammy. I'm thinking one could just keep their pager up in the background and be alerted to items as they come in. We have various new alert behavior for feed items and pages that will hopefully be intuitive. Like pages, the feed exists in history for two weeks. The intent is for people to post updates about new games, or testing sessions, etc. These will appear on the "feed" tab for those users (they have to be on the beta). You can now post one-way "updates" to all of your followers or followers of your authorized (helper) hub entries (you can post to all or the individual items). The main feature here is the concept of a "Feed", which keeps track of the message activity, website posts, and a new "updates" system. Unfortunately, this forum isn't very visible and we only have a few hundred users testing at the moment. This is a pretty significant release and hopefully the last one (aside from inevitable issues) before we take it more public.
If you have comments or suggestions for this new software, feel free to use this forum to relay them. Please let us know of any issues you have in the Beta Bugs forum immediately below this one. An interstitial (video) commercial will run when you connect to a game, at most once every five minutes. The downside (if you want to look at it that way) is that the pager runs some ads, which we desperately need for revenue. It also has a much improved messaging system. Most notably, it has numerous ways to find games (previously only accessible from the website). This is a far superior product to the current pager.
#Byond beta zip#
We are providing the ZIP version here so it won't conflict with your official BYOND install- just unzip it on your desktop (or wherever) and run the included byond.exe from there. It's now ready for a brief (hopefully) public testing period, so if you want to give it a try, just download from the latest post in this thread (which we'll update with new releases). We've been privately testing a new version of the BYOND pager for the last few months.
