Toady hasn't been on here for who the hell knows how long... Where is he?

QUICK to the Toady Signal!

Right, see, yes!  This is it!  What's going on?  How far are we from zero-hour?  Can we help make this thread relevant to Toady?

[Morrigi]

Yeah... And the LORI hasn't been updated for over a month.

[Misterstone]

Er, are you sure about that?  It looks pretty green right now.

[Footkerchief]

Er, are you sure about that?  It looks pretty green right now.

Yeah, it says "Last Edit: December 15" at the bottom.  Anyway, Map Features will get greened out soon, probably.

Last occurrence of "green" as a verb on the dev log is 12/17/2009.  (or "finished", which has one on 1/11 but no note about greening the associated item)

I wouldn't mind another week or two of map features remaining unfinished.

I have it on good authority that Today really wanted a xmas release date. Now that he missed it due to illness, he's planning on another lap to release it this xmas. He said something about using those extra months to get the stone list alphabetized and to tweak the probabilities that elves would bring particular wooden weapons and armor.

Now that he missed it due to illness

He would have missed it even assuming perfect health.

Nobody above GD is going to get this one.

1) Ropes.  Do we care?  can he just release as is?

Yes we care! I don't know about everyone else, but I wouldn't mind if he added a week to the release date and spent it entirely on rope ladders, assuming that's something he wants to do. With the new underground caverns and what not, I think rope ladders would be absolutley instrumental. And besides, mining out gems exposed by bottomless crevasses: What's more dwarvenly than a dwarf hanging onto a rope with one hand, and a pick in the other, mining out a diamond cluster?

Yeah... And the LORI hasn't been updated for over a month.

He's had swine flu, don't give him a hard time.

I wouldn't mind if it took a week to do good rope ladders, but I don't think anyone's figured out how to do good rope ladders without scrapping the pathfinding system and a slew of other complications.

look, i'm not saying it ain't important!

But let's say instead of being 0.28.181.40d, Toady releases 0.29 TOMORROW.  Upon finding a giant chasm beneath your dwarves, you use the time honored method of "going around."

Then Toady releases 0.29.001.01 the week after, which has magical ladders of +10 Fun and ladder demons and all the rest of it.  Plus another two weeks on "the underground" for Neonivek.

Which would be better?


This is still gonna be an alpha.  he's still gonna have a ton more releases.  It's not going to be "finished" even if he does green everything out, so -- Let's do it!

th'ss not how DF version #s work.

<N>.<Core>.<Req>.<Bloat><letter>, where N is all but the last two digits of the number of Core items completed (leaving us with version 1 when I finish all these up).
