New news system!

[Megiddo]

I finally decided to ditch that archiac news system the Ulysses home page was using ( no offense Janhammer ), and go with something a little more... useful. The new news system gets it's feed directly from the forums! Yay!

ULX v1.1 is coming along, though I haven't had much time to work on it recently due to a science fair project and a NASA FIRST robot project. Rest assured, I have no intention of dropping ULX or Ulysses, and development will resume when I have some more free time.

Here's a change log so far for those who may be interested:

[FIX] Save/Load tables works with any extension now ( Don't need .lua )
[FIX] Force download is now much more stable, and is able to figure out if your .res has errors
[FIX] ULX Commands can have plusses or minusses in them now
[FIX] Listen server admin detection is _much_ more reliable now.
[ADD] Config system ( will handle lua commands, even on dedicated server ) - server.ini will execute every map change, and if ulx/configs/maps/<curmap_name>.ini exists, that will be executed as well
[ADD] ULX now handles modules itself
[CHANGE] User system is now read from a different file with a different format, please update your users in this file.

This is not the full change log, this is merely what's done so far. To see what else may be in 1.1, check out my TODO list.

Thanks for your support everyone!

Someone asked me to make an RSS feed for the news a while ago... It wasn't possible with the old news system, but SMF handles it fine. Links are as follows:

Don't you mean ULX 2.1? And actually, wasn't 2.1 just released?

This thread was created in February.

Ohhh!
*DOH!*
I was also sitting here thinking "The front www.ulyssesmod.net page already pulls from the news forums!"
Haha.
Ok.

The news gods frown upon Jamminr on this day.

[JamminR]

Hey hey hey! Stop that.
They aren't frowning!
They're crying. They cant breath. They're getting dirty.
Rolling on the floor and laughing uncontrollably will do that to you.
