I am going to rant, since psz had a rant, I want a rant.
Clearly I am not on the same level as psz and Asayre, but I know my fair share of how things work, I mean hell I spent 8 months on a 5 month project. After Asayre and I finished our project, and it was modified and tweaked by Krrios, there was this group of people who thought it would never be released.
The funny part is, during the entire time it was being tested, Asayre ( was working on hybrid at the time ) and Krrios ( who fixed the bugs ) and the players of UO Gamers: Hyrbid found bugs in this particular project.
4 months of testing what do you have, a system that is nearly perfect, and works exactly like it does on OSI. Which would not have not been possible if somebody tried to release it after 5 months. I would like to add, the people that worked on this project were the first and still the only people, to release a working and exact clone of the Faction Script to the emulator community.
Other people have tried, but there has never been a perfect clone before, and you only get a perfect clone with hard work and months of testing and work.
So to those people that think the current release is done, its not, because like psz pointed out they are finding bugs. Only those people that have worked on 20+ script project understand how hard it is to manage and fix bugs. Which means everyone that complains, clearly are not real programmers, because RunUO has 1500 classes just outside the core.
So you try to manage a project as big as RunUO and fix bugs, when a small change to a damage function can result in making every weapon deal 1 damage because of adding a number you multiple a faction and thus reduce the damage.
Basicly unless you can do a better job, don't complain about the time it has taken, of course I want the release but I understand what members have been working on.
Some of the additions I know about, would take 1 person, several days of 24/7 programming. If you want the best, and the least buggy code, you will sit back and just "Thank" the RunUO Development Team instead of bitching and moaning.
