Wow I am way behind...

An hour ago, I went to Cemetech to download 6.9 >.>

I hope you realized that you should be installing DCS 7.0 RC 1 instead.

This is going to be a short-lived topic, because the Doors CS 7.0 time frame has just been moved way up.  Visiting ticalc.org today, I saw that Mirage OS 1.2 had a whopping 2,836 downloads over the past seven days.  Needless to say, that's unacceptable, and Doors CS 7 must step forward!  Here's the plan.  Doors CS 7.0 Release Candidate 2 has a bunch of tweaks and fixes from 7.0 RC 1.  The issue with the CHAIN7 appvar getting occasionally left behind has been fixed, a small issue with 2.53MP and HomeRun was fixed, the Manual and SDK have been updated, the LCD tuning has been tweaked and tweaked beyond measure, and the APD hook has been modified to [ON][XTOn].  This download is an update of Doors CS 7.0 Release Candidate 1, so it already accrued some downloads.  It will be similarly updated to 7.0 if RC2 checks out.

Your mission: test out the following .8xk on the morning of Tuesday, August 24, 2010.  Please check it over, run some programs on your DCS desktop, scroll up and down, edit some properties, rename and copy some things, change some settings.  Try HomeRun.  Break some programs.  Make sure DCS is stable.

My mission: Upload DCS 7.0 final to ticalc.org by Tuesday afternoon or evening.  Email Travis and the gang.  When ticalc.org approves 7.0, cross-post the 7.0 announcement here, Omnimaga, TiFreakWare, UnitedTI, BlueCrimson, TIBD, the works.

Doors CS 7.0 Release Candidate 1

First error found so far (which is on Cemetech too)

I have some free time right now so I'm gonna test this version on my calc. I got a silverlink now so I can send stuff straight from my new comp to my old 83+, instead of having to send it to my Nspire (which I use for other stuff) then from calc to calc to my 83+. Just the time to get new batteries.

Whoops, that's what I get for lazy copy-pasting at 2:30 in the morning.  Thanks DJ; I look forward to hearing what you find.  I also have 7.0 RC 1 in the app itself instead of RC2.

Lol that happens ^^

Well, so far it works fine, from basic editing to running programs. I am checking with something like Dying Eyes, now.

Awesome, I appreciate the testing.

Still testing, although I am gonna head to bed soon.

No problem, so far. One thing, though: if someone deletes all DCS appvars then press ENTER on the homescreen, is the DCS7 screen supposed to show up? Is it some sort of hook that restores DCS settings in case someone deletes the appvars?

Precisely.  It's a desired side-effect of the parser hook.

As I was experimenting with a TI-OS glitch found by Jsj795 (see http://ourl.ca/4593 ), I discovered this bug was also present in your DCS BASIC editor. Below, you can find the screenshot of it in action at one point in the screenshot. It has to do with recalling strings containing 2 byte tokens.

This is not really a Doors bug, more a TI-OS bug, but I was wondering if you would be able to fix it in DCS BASIC editor?

Aah yeah, I wasn't too sure. To me it seemed like the TI-OS editor, but it seemed modified or it seemed that some hooks made it behave differently or something, since it has instant Goto and is in 8 lines. I assume the fact it's just the TI-OS editor itself is why it would be hard to fix that bug with DCS help. TI really need to fix their shit.

This is a bit of a necropost, but I appreciate all your testing, and I'll probably be stopping by this thread with Doors CS 7.1 Beta 2 once I get my act together on finals and final projects at school.
