Suggestion: Post a suggestion about the new Faction/FF System/

Apr 20, 2007 avirulence link
Dear Incarnate,

I would appreciate it if you would post your opinion/suggestions on the new Faction system.

I'm sure you are planning to do that (Soon (tm)), but I was thinking that the longer you wait posting it, the longer it will take before actual work on that can or will be done..

I think it should be a priority (well, that's more of a suggestion) to implement the new system.

Yours,

aVirulence

Even better, post it in Trac and make that active.

:D

As for it being a priority, I think it's what they've been working on since making Kourier.

True, but Incarnate promised to post about it *soon* so we are poking him to see if it's *soon enough*. :P

Actually, a lot of implementation work has been ongoing this entire time (some of those "background changes" in updates). Despite the fact that all the design specifics aren't completed yet, a lot of assumptions can be made about certain functionality that's going to be needed, and changes that will have to be made that will require rewriting other code. Ray and I have been communicating back and forth about that for awhile.

No, the design is not ready to post on here yet. Yes, it is currently my highest priority personal project. But, that's not as meaningful as it sounds, since I do a lot more than just my own projects, and oftentimes my immediate focus is required elsewhere. I've continually thought I would get it done in a few days, and had some unforseen issue crop up or short-term situations I had to deal with. Such is life.

The system is considerably more wide-ranging and complex than the previously posted one, since I'm trying to integrate many of the suggestions and have a more wholly complete system that satisfies more needs. On the other hand, it's expanded to touch so many areas of the game that its functionality and ramifications become that much more critical.

Anyway, it is coming :). Yes, I am using the Trac system for this, we're using it for a lot of things, but it's not ready to be public yet. Right now I have to go work on stuff related to tonight's release, heh, so once again.. no time to work on it this instant.
