Hello friends!
I'm back, and I'm only supporting the scripts in my sig. I'm also not supporting them quite as vigorously as I used to. It used to be, when KoL made a change, I would immediately start thinking about which of my scripts were affected and start making the changes necessary to bring them back up to date. However, the sheer volume of new content in the last year or so was simply too overwhelming, and I'm now so extremely behind that I don't even know how behind I am. So, I will be adding support for things either 1) as I encounter them myself, or 2) as people post actual patches/code or detailed descriptions of content I've not yet encountered. I will otherwise remain fairly apathetic towards supporting content that I haven't yet been able to play. The idea being that the best way to catch up is to keep taking the next step.
I develop my scripts for fun, and I share them online to increase the fun in the world, and although a sense of loyalty and obligation to the scripting community also grew out of that as a result, I'm simply not going to spend all my scripting time trying to research parts of the game I haven't had time to play yet just so that I can support them. I also want the chance to play. It got to be a catch-22 type situation, where I couldn't play the game because I had to research the newer content (which I was nowhere near playing), which got me further and further behind in playing at the expense of posting functionality that I wasn't even sure I liked, given that I hadn't play-tested it! Ridiculous. Not even funny.
So, here we are. I'm slowly making my way through the updated level 11 quest now for the first time and adjusting the various relevant scripts as I go. My apologies in advance for not staying leading-edge, but I'll be developing them at my own pace, which will undoubtedly be too slow for those of you who can actually keep up with the game (which I'd guess would include the average play-every-day player). Please continue to report issues with my scripts in their various threads and I'll either fix them or make a note to address what you report when I encounter the issue. If you make a detailed enough report you can get it fixed right away, but otherwise you'll have to exercise patience. Or impatience, for that matter -- either will have the same net result.
Also, I was touched to read this thread. Thank you for your kind words, scripting buddies.
