DSL 2.2 Complete Edition is now DSL 2.3!
« on: July 15, 2018, 05:45:47 PM »
Just a heads-up going forwards.

Okay, but, why?
Because Clickbeetle changed the name of the thread about DSL 2.2 Complete Edition to DSL 2.3 - which is nuts, but it happened, so... I'm at his behest! :mrgreen:

So, what does this mean going forward?
Aside from the name change, it means that official updates to DSL 2.3 should be coming FROM CLICK HIMSELF - if they come from me, it will be either because I've got permission to release that, or because he's gone absent for another 2 years because it's a change the community undisputably wants. It also means I'll be dedicating a lot more time personally to get DSL 2.3 out the door - got a lot of things on the to-do list I need to chalk off, and now with the wind in my sails, I see no reason not to go full speed!

GLHF :cool:

I actually said that I considered 2.2 CE a 2.3 beta earlier.  I figured the thread title should reflect that.

For the record though, I'm not trying to steal your project.  I still consider you the lead developer of 2.2 CE and, by extension, the 2.3 patch.  I'm not going to be around here forever (my recent 2-year absence reflects that) and we need someone else on the DSL team to take over in those cases.  Yours, dragonsteincole's, and Mr. AS's (anyone else I'm missing?) work on 2.2 CE suggests that I can trust you will handle any future updates to DSL beyond 2.3 reasonably.

I'm still realizing how rusty I am after 2 years, ESPECIALLY in regard to IRL building, and if I want to implement any features you honestly think are really bad, don't be afraid to tell me no.  (The new overvolting mechanic seems to have sparked a bit of controversy and may not actually be as good an idea as I thought it would be, for example.)

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.

I know  - in fact, I consider it quite the honour that you'd rename it as such! :mrgreen:

I still consider you the lead developer of 2.2 CE and, by extension, the 2.3 patch.

Well, that's a big burden to carry, but I'll try my best - thank you for handing me the reins!

You're too kind, man. This means a lot to me.

So far, I've been on board with all of your changes, the only one I've objected to is the polycarbonate and aluminum wedges. Other than that, I have no doubt that your contributions to DSL will be invaluable, just as they have been for the last decade.
