My patch had 2 UI bugs, didn't have time to fix them sadly. So I did the most logical thing: I made Trevor fix them! :twisted:

darn I'm as brilliant as I'm charming.

What we need is someone else to magically appear like Ryss and take over another section of the code.

Hmm....

Let's see if it works.

Maybe it's a 4e ritual?
I know I have a few personal nits to pick with the Chat panel and Dice roller/parser, so at the very least will be looking into that section of code in the next few weeks. Of course, there is no promise I will produce anything, or that Trevor will keep letting new features be added instead of locking 1.3 down so we can head to 1.4...

I save all my Campaign Files to DropBox. Not only can I access a campaign file from pretty much any OS that will run Maptool(Win,OSX, linux), but each file is versioned, so if something goes crazy wild, I can always roll back to a previous version of the same file.

Get your Dropbox 2GB via my referral link, and as a bonus, I get an extra 250 MB of space. Even if you don't don't use my link, I still enthusiastically recommend Dropbox..

Well, one must have their standards.

This is a fact that long eluded the designers of so many superhero costumes. I'm still baffled by this decision of male superhero costumes. Female costumes have always made sense, but males, well that's a bit confusing.

But anyway, we are getting off-topic, and I'm not going to be responsible for another mass-derailing. Again.

Well, not that I'll admit.

After all, we have a mass derail thread available.

Go b34!

Agreed. I highly doubt it will be in b34 based on what Trevor has already stated.

Which is a shame in some ways, but I think the initiative tracker is becoming the most often queried update.

I think I've seen people wondering about it for at least 4 or 5 builds now.

I'm not complaining, I'm a patient man. BUT IF I DON'T GET IT BEFORE MY NEXT GAME I'M GOING TO KILL MY PC'S! Not that that bothers anyone here, but it will make them rather sad. And I really don't want to do that. So Trevor, for the sake of my campaign, I beg you....

But not today.

My next game is at LEAST 2 weeks out.

At least.

I seem to recall hearing Trevor stating that there were a few issues (bugs?) that needed to be resolved before the mini init tracker could be included, and he has had his hand full with other bugs which should take precedence over a new feature.

The same 2-3 people querying about it 4 or 5 times a week doesn't really count.

The init panel only became a possibility because an outside guy, Lud, was going to contribute the code. I believe that Trevor has stated that he is still waiting on Lud to work out some issues.

It will get in when it gets in.

Where as little as possible ? That makes sense in one way (sales), but not so much in practical crime fighting :)

Actually we've been emailing back and forth, trying to find a clean generic way to do the first implementation.

So the process is ongoing and at some point we'll have a first-pass implementation. Can't ask for more than that.

Well, technically you can ask for whatever you want. Whether or not trevor will pay it any attention is another story.:lol:
