Yes, that will work. I prefer to use PRE, because the incoming changes get passed in to your PRE method as parameters -- instead of needing to retrieve them within the body of your POST method (which feels a bit sloppy). However, the difference is negligible in this case so use whatever fits your needs.Faceless said:

The newer version adds some "backend" features which modders sometimes rely upon. If you refuse to upgrade, then some Loader mods will not work correctly for you. For example: Huit's bikinis require Loader 5.42 or greater; the same requirement applies to the Angela Cykes dynamic hairstyle.PyramidHead said:
Oh wow... I wasn't aware that there were still such major developments going on for this humble little Flash program. You revamped hair physics? Huit went mad and drew bikinis 154 times? That's certainly worth upgrading for, then! I'll just fire up Kona's default SDT if I ever need to hear the chime, LOL.stuntcock said:
Officially, no. The XenForo Resource system will ameliorate this problem by giving users access to previous versions of files, but it isn't online yet. And even when it is officially launched, it won't magically acquire a complete revision history of existing files. Users such as ModGuy will need to manually inject each version in chronological order (with patch notes), and I imagine that most of them will skip the hassle and just upload the latest files instead.
Make a post on the Loader board. Where incompatibilities exist, I'd rather focus our efforts on fixing them instead of seeing users running various outdated versions. The older versions are incapable of running some of the new content, which will probably lead to spurious bug reports and general confusion.
You haven't actually told us which issue it is. Whatever talents we may possess, telepathy isn't one of them.
Yeah, it's a very promising feature. Keep in mind that it will take a while to migrate and tag all of the old content, though. It will be a few weeks before the system begins to deliver the user-experience-improvements which it promises.
Looking through your post history, I see that you've created a variety of PNG hairstyles. Their loading behaviour has not changed w/r/t recent Loader updates. I was able to download several of your hairstyles and use them in-game without any difficulties.
There aren't that many people on the forum who do serious AS3 work for SDT. ModGuy and pim_gd have been absent for the past month. It's possible that I might be the person tasked with fixing the Loader+DA issue. It's possible that your input will be vital to the eventual fix. Drop the fatalism and let's work on the problem.
