SE4 Companion info

Next Version won't be beta, it will be official Version 0.84, no excuses.

-It will have most (I hope but don't expect all) bugs tracked down and killed.

-It will have mIRC compatibilty, meaning that Posts made by other Users incorporating text styles and colours are shown as intended, and a few extra IRC capabilities, but it won't be a IRC client competing with the big ones, just a way to quickly connect to the #SE4 channel.

-A few improvements to current functions and some ways to make it more accessible.

-A cleaner interface,

-It will have a few plug-in packs:
The Dogscoff plug_in pack (Default) will be sent with the main Version (Shipset copier for Mods, Shipset Cleaner and Ai fixer, PBW shipset checker, Designfile checker, shipset viewer)
The Entertainment pack (optional): Drushoka man and SE4 Shooter by Ed Marshal.
The Mod Pack, SE4 Modder by Davig G, perhaps some more programs, (CHTML, templatizer..anything else? haven't contacted these authors).

Templatizer? Feel free to include it; I'm sure more people would use it if they didn't have to deal with the command-line interface directly

This is most probably the "best" tool for SE 4. Looking forward to the non-beta

Will the plugin packs have the option to only choose specific parts of that pack, rather than having to have everything there?

Everything (ie the Dogscoff plugin pack) is installed abd can be choosen from the plug-in drop down box.
But they can be disabled one by one.

5 Who haven't tried it, 4 of those have no opinion and one of them don't like it, I don't take that serious on that critisism

Nah, it actually seems that one who has tried it doesn't like it.
Hmm perhaps I should make it in pink, everyone loves that!

Will this serve as the blue print for the SE V Comanion Program?

Ruatha · #9 August 24th, 2004, 02:40 AM

Not codewise, and propbaly not in any other way either.

SE V will be an enirely different program with different needs.
For example: As I understand it, the modlaunching capability will be built into the game itself..

89% of those who tried it liked it, that's pretty good, thanks all.

I'd like to thank my parents, my wife and....
