Chasing ghosts...

Spent all day yesterday chasing ghost bugs...wasted the entire day.

I finished the chat system, audio fading, enhanced the camera and added HUD HP/XP display in just 2 days. I tested them all throughly and they worked nicely, I was really suprised. Now yesterday I try to bring them all together and it all just comes crashing down. Suddenly nothing works as it's supposed to.

I track down a few silly bugs I missed during testing, and that was okay, I wasted 3 hours there. But now, I start getting annoying error messages, my fps is in the low 40s and my patience is at an end. I smash my fist on the table a few times, after 2 hours of trying to figure it out, and suddenly, after changing nothing, the error messages are gone. 

Then I realized it was a problem with the engine, and a statistics window I kept open during testing was causing the errors(for whatever reason).

Well I planned on having the advanced animation system at least half done yesterday, and it's not, obviously. Today I just don't have enough time so I might just iron out a few more bugs.

I promised myself I won't release the next version until I fix every possible bug...but that just doesn't seem possible, as I CAN'T REPRODUCE THEM... It's hard to fix something when you can't tell either if it's fixed or broken. At least I figured out why the lizards were walking side-ways...I think ;)
