Aldebaran 2: Smax

Good luck!

Funny ! Functions and scripts are sorta anathema, but I guess it's an inside joke. #endgame, what do you think of the possibility of making the textfiles universally readable? I don't have an install of *nix at the moment, but I should think it wouldn't be too hard for me to convert all the files to be *nix readable....

A windows version of the dos2unix converter does exist and if SMA(C/X) can handle it, so much the better. As to further editing of the files, you could get XEmacs for windows or use wordpad.

Smacksim, what's the status of the next version of Aldeb?

[smacksim]

I'm waiting for a wave of inspiration to finish off the graphics.

[GeoModder]

Your or ours?

[smacksim]

Mine, I was thinking, but will certainly take waves from others! It's only the factions and units and 'front page' that I want to finish. But before then I don't see the need to make a release as updates are editorial rather than substantive.

Hey Smacksim, do you want me to just list any future errors that I find, here on the thread, or should I go ahead and upload the files?

Last time I checked, the last batch of corrections hadn't been downloaded at all ...

On the other hand, school's started for me so I'm hardly playing SMAX recently.

[smacksim]

Upload the changes you make, certainly. I will put all the pieces of Humpty Dumpty back together again.

[#endgame]

Sorry, but I'm compulsively bumping this thread.

How long till the next version?

[Lord Nword]

Smacksim,
If you'll post all the text files, I'll make a run through everything to search for errors.. And I mean everything...

And then we can release another version... over a month behind schedule

Smacksim seems to be AWOL, take your time thus.

Smacksim posted something about troubles with internet access. It was around the time Ivan stormed America (forgive me the pun). I doubt he will be able to return for some time.

I think everyone agrees with me when I say:

SHAZBOT!

I was trying to get a copy of Aldebaran 2 to beta test, but I couldn't get it to download from the server. I tried all the links I could find but no luck. I don't know if it was just me or mabey others are having the same problem, but I would appreciate it if you would email it to me. From what I have read it sounds like it is going to be really cool.

Thanks for the tip. I don't get more than about two spam a month, but why take chances right? I got the download and will be installing it this evening.

E-Mail sent, with 1.2Mb zipped file attached. btw you should probably edit out your E-Mail address before the spambots get ahold of it. FYI.
