Developer Journal: Mulchman
Alright, so today (Sunday) was supposed to be a big playtest for us. We got the whole gang together just to find out the server wanted to crash... A LOT [on unix].
So instead, Mirv hauled ass and compiled the mod with some extra flags so we could run it through GDB and once that was done we spent the rest of the night waiting for it to crash again after fixing some null pointer issues.
Mirv's a genius. Tonight, as I was looking through an .mdump file he's like "I bet such and such was a NULL pointer" and lo and behold it was... he's magical. I've told him to post a Dev Journal detailing all that he's been messing with but I think he's shy.
Anyway, coding these days is mainly bug fixing. We're awaiting some animations and models but pretty much we're almost there. If only my other Dev Journal would get approved...
In other news, my right hand has been killing m lately - too much FF and right handed mouse using; carpal tunnel is killing me. I've started 'mousing' with my left hand but am still terrible and feel like it must feel to live in Scotland. Except without the rain. Yeah, <3.
