Eliijahh Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Yes, just revived an old account to ask if a 1.3 mod is compatible with version 1.4. Gh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drhay53 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 If you're mad about people who have volunteered literally thousands of hours of their free time, without compensation, not updating things fast enough (or at all, even) then quite frankly you need to rethink your attitude about life.

Gorman Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Another game I play, League of Legends, has a system which I think would work for KSP. League has something called the Public Beta Environment (PBE). What it is is a server with the very latest daily build of the next version of the game. PBE licences are given to a select few players. If Squad had a PBE server and handed out licences to all the modders 1 or 2 months prior to general release, it would give modders the time to iron out problems and hopefully all mods would be fully updated the same day as the release day. Giving modders PBE licences would also be a kind of reward for them for all their hard work. They will get to play with all the latest toys months before everybody else.

Squad has given a few select players the latest build of the game. Nobody is updating because we will need to update again next week. There is literally no point in updating until 1.4.1. My update will drop the day the new expansion is available. Edited March 10, 2018 by harrisjosh2711 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artwhaley Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) I want to say a thank you to all the modders, and to those that have piped up to show support. The OP here is very new... so this might be his first update... so he's NOT going on my list of people to passive aggressively ignore when he asks for mod support in a few weeks... lol. Not that there's a list. But the mod authors DO remember who's been a supportive fan and who's been demanding! We change our interests and schedules just like other players of the game. I go a few months without playing KSP... and if I'm not playing it... I'm probably also not finding the time to work on my mods or other people's. There are great resources in existence if you'd like to help maintain a mod that just 'seems to have trouble keeping up.' There's also - THE STOCK GAME which is the only thing you were guaranteed when you paid for the game, and is developed by the people who you paid that money to! I'm glad I'm not the only one who shrugged at the 1.4 announcement. Thanks, Squad, for at least being honest this time that there would be a follow up. I'm going to wager with the extent of the changes coming with the expansion... we'll actually see a 1.4.2 pretty quickly too... huh? Anyone need help this week recompiling against 1.4.1? I don't have OODLES of time to dig into deep issues, but if it's testing and chasing down a few renamed items in the API, I'm happy to work on a few of them?

I never thought about it that way. Weird. Since the OP has changed his/her mind about the topic, I think this thread's usefulness has come to an end. Everyone behaved pretty well, so hats off to you for staying calm and on topic. Thread locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
