You of all people should know that Kevin isn't typically quick to back down if he says something out of frustration.

I'll take that as a compliment. :V

That is indeed...odd. Honestly this just seems kinda weird either way.

It's not possible for me to use differing IPs to judge whether accounts have been hacked.  (As I understand it, a single person can scramble their IP using a VPN, as many members of the forum currently do for privacy reasons.)  I have no other relevant information in this case.  So I can't weigh in here.  Most importantly, I don't know that it matters that much.  People are responsible for their accounts, and people shouldn't fight, per the guidelines, but this fight is ongoing, and it's not simple to assign blame.  I would appreciate it if people would dial stuff back generally, but perhaps we are past that point.

The OP of this thread is (relatively) inactive.  Should we switch to a new one that can stay on track?  It's fine to talk about developments and so forth, including dev teams and all that, and criticizing development (while not flinging insults, per guidelines), but this has gotten a little repetitive and if sufficient people want to talk about the game as it is currently being developed, that seems reasonable, but a more strongly defined opening post would be necessary for that.

Thanks toady.

What are some of your ideas for rendering the cars Erk?

[Random_Dragon]

Understood.

And agreed, I'd be interested to see that Erk. I know that one of the users on the discord has likewise expressed an interest in making the tanks in tankmod look more like tanks, as representing the appearance of a tank within the limits of the vehicle system was one of the main things I struggled with back when I added them.

Regarding tiles, is my current sketch-up of how a car might look. It needs a bit more support from code before I start doing actual pixelwork.

Also probably of interest, the alpha version of the total tileset is looking like this now:

[Random_Dragon]

Nice, looks like it might be interesting. I'm finding myself thinking I oughta start doing more mod_tilseset stuff at this rate...

[Robsoie]

It's frankly some amazing 2D artwork !

[Erk]

Thanks! I'm really excited to get it into the game soon

Given that he's contributed the most to the thread in recent months, as far as content and progress updates, as well as being rational in the pro/anti kevin... issue, I'd suggest Erk to be the thread starter.
The topic really does suffer from not having a thread maintainer and reliable OP.

[Eschar]

I second Erk as thread starter

[pisskop]

bye 0.C Thread!  Not with a bang, but a whimper.

[Erk]

Well, there was a bit of a bang there.

I've made a new thread at http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=174824.0 - I was already considering it, so a few votes tipped me over to "okay sure". As I said over there, I'll try to post some changelog highlights and some other general dev stuff.

It would be so trivial to post the comment's listed IP that I'm taking that as evidence that the claim is false. The only valid reason you wouldn't post the IP is that you'd be compared to post your native IP as proof too, but this is not truly required.

Thing is, you can enter an IP into sites to determine where the IP came from. That Kevin's github profile says he's in Seattle is publicly-available information, so if the "hacker's" IP says it comes from outside Washington then it would confirm this claim without him needing to dox himself.

I highly doubt he cares enough to try to prove anything; he only knew about the post because dpwb and I were surprised to see him posting here at all. Pretty sure he's leaving it up to toady/threetoe to decide if they want to do anything about it.

If I'm reading this correctly, you're saying Kevin didn't post here, as he told you he didn't know about the Angry Outburst Post? Evidence in Kevin's favor, then.

Not if he had already regretted posting it by then.
