Where did everyone go?

God, why is everyone bitching? I've been using 2.5 constantly, on account of my PC not liking 2.10 and I haven't had any problems at all. I think the devs are doing a hell of a good job, and I don't think everyone's given up, at all. It'll happen, we just need patience.

11neas, have you been making quests in the 2.5 betas? Also earlier on there were some massive bugs but most have been fixed leaving mostly obscure bugs that only happen in very specific scenarios.

[Binx]

yeah, My only problem's been with the subscreen editor, it crashes ZQuest every time I try to use it, but considering no one else has had the same problem, and the fact that my PC only has 256 MB of RAM, I'm pretty sure it's just my laptop. I guess I'm using build 142, cuz the folder says "zc25b142", but other than the subscreen, and my lack of knowlege on how to make cutscenes, it handles like a dream, for me. I just posted a demo of my quest, but if there's a more recent build, I'd like a link, if at all possible.

You can get the most recent betas there.

woot, thanks, I just discovered that 142 is a 1.92 build, not sure why mine says 2.5, but whatever.I'll be sure to report any bugs I find

No, it's 2.50 Very old build, though.

You would have to go back a few years to understand the reason for the bitching going on.
The developers now working on the program weren't developers then, with the exception of L and aren't the focus of the complaints, as they should well know.

I suppose, but still, I'm really liking the way the newest build is done. I think it was worth the wait, but maybe that's just because I don't really use scripting, so maybe that's my problem.

I'll state this now: Of all the current developers, the only three I know of that have been actively making changes to ZC according to the change log for the last three builds have been _L_, Saffith, and Gleeok. I haven't seen Joe123 making any changes to ZC or the change log over the last two months, and I've been trying to get in touch with him, but I still have NOT heard back from him, unfortunately. I did see pkmnfrk mention a few fixes in the change log for the last linux build, but I haven't seen him around much lately either. As for Dark Nation, no matter how many times he claims to have made a bug fix, he keeps forgetting to commit the fixes, and committing bug fixes is a big responsibility for all the current developers. Jman2050 has also seemingly been inactive as of late, and as for DarkDragon, I really miss seeing him working on ZC and I hope that he can get back to work on ZC some day, if he hasn't already left the development team. To get the point, when it's time for the post 2.5 rewrite to begin, the rewrite should call for several new developers. I have even stated a few times that I would like to learn all about the code, so that I too could possibly assist in development in the future.

I too miss DarkDragon :/
