He can have it on Monday, January 27, 2003, the EVONE PB release date! Sorry it is taking longer than expected, but certain things called exams appear to be getting in the way :frown:

How are you having exams now? Do you have them after winter break? That gives me two weeks to learn the basics of Strata. Quite doable. I'm going to work on a plug that gives civvies, polaris, and vell-os point defense (single light blaster, biorelay, and flower of spring for the base weapons for each, respectively)

Yep, exams are the third week in January, after winter break. It seems we are one of the only schools to have them after break. The only nice thing is it makes the second semester relatively short.

After reading all the arguing about EVONE, I've got one certainty for you all.. If it does the things it says it can, he can have my 10 ****ing dollars. 😄

Hehe in the middle of all this I am going to throw in the update for how NovaLord is going. 🙂

Several editors are completed - I started with the easy ones and they flew out of the way - NovaLord has dude, fleet, govt and pers editors working, along with sundry things such as STR# editors and so forth (little things like that are integrated into the editors that need them, eg there is a STR# editing interface in the dude editor).

The classic "Expansion or Conversion" options a la EVOGod are available when creating new resources.

Data files (such as the Nova Data, Graphics, Titles etc) are loaded via the preferences window, no need for alias as in EV-Edit.

NovaLord will have no registration system. It will be conscience-ware - if you can bare to use it without paying a small fee, it's on your conscience, not mine 🙂 In all honesty I don't particularly care about the money, which brings me on to my next point:

If you don't like programming, all you developers out there, don't do it! I've been slaving away on NovaLord for well over 6 hours per day (I'm on hols, of course!) but I'm doing it because I enjoy programming. I'm using Objective-C++ and Cocoa, something with more nuances than King Lear. Whilst Carbon may be a little code-intensive, it doesn't play tricks behind the scenes, something that happens often in Cocoa, and memory management is difficult to keep under control. That is to say, I'm not cruising on REALBasic, so I have full authority to make the following comment: stop wagging your tongues about how much code you've written. Any decent developers out there would know that the difficulty in programming is the concepts - the algorithms, design, storage, and so forth. No points-per-line, mate. I rewrote (REWROTE) NovaLord entirely a few days ago and reduced the number of lines by half, but the program is much more stable and functional.

In the end, it's how well the program works. That's the only benchmark!

I'll start a new topic periodically to announce NovaLord updates and future releases. At this stage, I am expecting a public preview release sometime in mid-February.

Cheers!

LOL, I love reading arguments, they are always so funny. LOL, what if I said all your editors suck so you can all allie up on me and beat me up. 🙂 Alliances are formed through common enemies. 🙂

That's pretty freaking funny. LOL, I should do that more often.

Later
