Torsion Update & TelnetDebugger Fix

I put out a new update to Torsion today. The build released two weeks ago ended up with a serious bug which would cause the code completion thread to run the CPU usage up to 100%. Please update as soon as possible.

Aside from this critical fix, a few more minor changes made it into this new build...

• Added automatic check for new version on Torsion startup which can be disabled in Preferences.
• Added Ctrl+Alt+S as shortcut for Save As.
• You can convert a selection to uppercase via Ctrl+Shit+U or lowercase via Ctrl+U.
• Fixed issue with GetProcessId() which caused Torsion to not work on Win9x machines or WinXP machines without Service Pack 1 installed.
• You can now quickly comment block selections via Ctrl+K and Ctrl+Shift+K to uncomment.
• Script scanner now properly handles block comments.
• Fixed bug in script scanner that was locking up the code completion thread.
• Project name now appears first in the application title.
• Posted a patch for engine crash issue when debugging.

That last point is an important one. My TelnetDebugger improvements which were merged with 1.4 and TGB had a bug in them that could cause your game to crash when hitting some breakpoints in a debugging session. Before this fix gets merged into HEAD it would be great to get as many people to test it as possible. I encourage anyone who is doing a lot of TorqueScript work to install this fix. All feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Oh and how can anyone post a plan without a screenshot?


This is a quick little prototype i put together in about 8 hours (i'm a TGB newbie). Nothing really fancy in the screenshot other than the parallax clouds with shadows. Of course it was was done with Torsion. =)

You can get Torsion at the usual location:
