Lost Eden development thread

[vyeh]

The celebrations are now complete! Thank you for your birthday wishes.

You're welcome.

We played a Lost Eden game, although it took us 2 hours to figure out that Windows Vista/7 won't network (resorted to backup 2000/XP machines although the 2000 one died at about turn 130ish).

Weird about Vista/7. Shoot Petek a PM and see if that is a known issue.

I haven't had a chance to do anything internet/PC related for a little while, including looking at the CMN forum. I'll do it soon.

Take your time. It is very slow paced.

In other news, Kyrub replied a few days ago saying that he hasn't looked at the game yet but "definitely will". Let's hope in the near future.

I am glad to hear that.

I remember your suggestion yes! We should probably get active about setting it into motion.

I assume you haven't heard from bdanv.

Alright then I will.

Okay. I'll make that post about the PG version now though before I forget.

I assume you haven't heard from bdanv.

Not yet!

I don't know if I have said this yet, but just in case, I'll mention that my schedule over the next month or so will be a bit more full on as there are 3 assignments that I have to complete! So my time will need to be more focused on getting important things done and not playing around.

I see the post. A little diffident considering your new title.

Maybe best to focus on following up any PM's you receive and checking this thread.

EDIT: See new thread at CGN. Scient is returning.

. Even when in charge I try not to be strident.

I got a reply from Petek and he had no idea. He suggested to try posting on WPC, although I don't have an account there. Perhaps it's something to post in the bug forum.

EDIT: See new thread at CGN. Scient is returning.

Oh great news! I've read the thread and posted a generic welcomage. Keep me informed of what you get up to hey.

What are we talking about?

Sure, although you are part of the team.

 

[Kilkakon]

What are we talking about?

The Vista/7 networking problem.

I was talking about you. You were slowly drifting off "unless scient returns" so that's why I said it.

 

[vyeh]

The Vista/7 networking problem.

Maybe a separate thread at CGN would be in order.

Not sure that is accurate. You could always find me in this thread. I always responded within a couple of days.

What is the next thing you are doing that is LE related?

Sorry for my inaccuarcy there.

I have been trying to put all my energy into assignments so far. Procrastination hasn't helped either, but I'm doing what I can. When I do get back to LE work, I'll probably do voices or artwork, or possibly those techlongs.

Sorry to take so long to say nothing. :S

It wasn't nothing. When are your assignments over?

 

[Kilkakon]

Mid next week. Then exams in the following week or so.

I also found Aployton but I had the same situation, ages old account. The admins there were too slow though, CFC reset me first.

Whom did you contact? The email of your account seems to be valid, if you just forgot your password about the bigpond than the password recovery form may help you, and you could put your mod into the Apolyton database and also upload it there.

I forget who. I never got a reply. My only problem is that I don't have my bigpond account anymore, only my gmail. I'm happy to upload stuff onto your Apolyton database though.

I hope he was doing a search on 'poly and not starting to read an almost 900 post thread!

Let me know if there is something I can do LE related. Otherwise I might get distracted by the recent scient-related activity at CGN.

 

[Martin Gühmann]

OK, I send you an PM to ask you for your new email address.

Well you posted a thread on Apolyton about Lost Eden linking to this thread. Unfortunately I just had to sort out some things with our download database. Now it is back, and before I announce it officially I would like to have some fresh material to announce. And of course I wanna make sure that uploading for ordinary users works as intended.

Haha yeah marathon!

Poke me in a few days to do something LE related. Most of my time is being poured into assignment work, so it's probably best to ask me afterwards. I'm happy for the both of us that scient has returned.

OK, I send you an PM to ask you for your new email address.

And I shall reply to your PM!

Sure sounds reasonable enough. I'd point out now that this is a living project and so is prone to occasional updates, and also that there are two versions of the game (G and PG) so you'd need to specify which are allowed (go to my site to see them both )

Thanks for wanting to give my mod some attention too by the way!

 

[Martin Gühmann]

And I shall reply to your PM!

So I updated your profile.

Just upload it and upload a new version whenever a new version is ready. Nobody has to approve it. This way, it is in the control of the users. And we cut on the bureaucracy.

Good question, probably somebody will find that non-sexual nudity version wrong, but that is the way it is intended to be played. Anyway we could still sort it out later like giving the nudity version a less prominent place, like backdating the submission date.

[Kilkakon]

*logs into Apolyton for the first time in 5 years... looks at his post count of less than 1*

Haha thanks for sorting that out. Thankfully vyeh and Petek were able to take me in and help me out here so the mod got made!!

I will upload it after the assignment season is over, later this week.

Yeah it's one of those things that needs to be done well, that's why even on my site I clearly label things so people don't run into stuff they have ethical problems with. I'll probably upload both and put a clear message at the top (or something like that). Let me know what you think, and thanks again for sorting out the account issue.

I believe the post at the top of this thread was your first post even though you joined in 2006. I recall encouraging you to make several more posts (I believe you have a post in OT) so we could use the PM system here.

You're welcome. I'm sure Petek has the same sentiments.

I think it is prudent to warn people.

You recall correctly.

Yeah!

Yeah that's what I said.

Mhm... I noticed while browsing CGN for a few minutes that Skunkworks apparently eliminate retool penalty. Is this true? If so, I would need to update my help files (I thought that it didn't do a thing outside prototypes).

The elimination of the retool penalty is an undocumented feature of skunkworks.

I don't believe anyone is suggesting that it is a bug!

EDIT: Post #900! There is a SMAX thread that has 929 posts, so the next milestone is the SMAX thread with the most posts.
