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 2

How do I use DoorCS to run apps?

Errr, you don't, you run the apps from the Apps menu.  Feel free to post in the Cemetech topic I linked you to with any questions, though, since I don't check here often.

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.

Nice!  I will definetaly test it out, although i am not very familiar with the interface, so bugs reports might be slim

I hope you find it intuitive enough to not get too confused; if you do, there's Help in the DCS Menu in-shell, and there's always the manual.  Feel free to post any questions or bug reports, although I'd request that you're more likely to get a timely response from posting in this topic:

Doors CS 6.9 beta is the final beta of Doors CS 7.0, containing many feature additions, optimizations, and bug fixes. It incorporates several bug fixes based on reports from the loyal beta testers.  Doors CS 6.9 beta adds incremental improvements to text input functions, and introduces a Help item in the DCS Menu.  It improves a small bug with the BASIC "Instant Goto" feature, and contains a near-complete rewrite of how programs are counted to optimize for speed and correctness.  A full listing of fixes and improvements:

:: Improved character width calculation fallback for "unknown" characters.
:: Fixed FileSaveAs/FileOpen bug from FileOSExclude addition.
:: After extensive searching and re-writing and debugging, reconfigured how programs are counted, and fixed several corner cases that broke proper type detection. Proper hiding of programs for future versions of DCS also implemented.
:: Residual problem with SE caching and InfoPops resolved.
:: Repaired Goto bug that occasionally went one line too far.
:: Found and fixed bug where pressing 1-6 to enter a sub-sub-folder would cause the properties menu to appear.
:: Found and fixed bug that would occasionally cause DCS to miscount programs in a folder, thanks to dcsSquish.
:: Completed Doors CS 7 Manual.

As noted in the last item above, Doors CS 6.9 beta is the first (and last) beta to contain the full Manual for Doors CS 7.0.  Please download it today, give it a try, and let me know what issues you find!  Please please also read the Manual for correctness, completeness, and clarity, and let me know what you think.  If no issues are found, the next release will be Doors CS 7.0.  If bugs are found, then a release candidate, Doors CS 7.0 RC 1, will be released before September 1 (ideally within less than a week).  Doors CS 7.0 will not be released until many testers give the latest beta or RC a clean bill of health, so please test, test, test!

In answer to all the users that have requested a custom oncalc TI-BASIC editor, Tokenizer DE takes a first step in that direction. Just as SourceCoder (http://sc.cemetech.net) can convert text files into .8xp programs online, Tokenizer can take text documents typed in Document DE 6 or Document DE 7 and convert them into fully-tokenized BASIC programs editable with the TI-OS's TI-BASIC editor. Weighing in at slightly over 1KB, this small but efficient program takes advantage of the power of the DCS GUI system, and requires Doors CS 6.8 beta or higher.  It uses a naive reverse substring-match brute force algorithm that takes very little memory (roughly 300 bytes for the core tokenization algorithm) at the expense of going at a moderate rather than blazing speed.  Future improvements may integrate this with a Document DE-style editor; feel free to give it a try and post any comments or suggestions in the associated topic.  This release also includes the source code to Tokenizer DE for those wishing to learn more about using the Doors CS ASM libraries.

Sorry if it said this, but are we allowed to use code we wrote before the contest, but didn't release?

Sure, as long as you didn't release it or use it for any previous contents.  In the future would you mind posting questions on Cemetech (in this case, this topic: http://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4752)? I don't check here that often.

Awesome! I don't know if I'll have time for this, because of Nostalgia, but if I do then I can use my CelticIII/DCS7 powered 4lvl greyscale scrolling tilemapper. 

Don't forget that tilemapping and shape drawing are significantly faster in DCS7 than in Celtic III, according to my and Kevin's tests.
