Re: Idea - Per-Mission Customizable Communication Menu
Hey, nobody wants to clone me? :p

Or me for that matter. It does make laugh when someone picks completely the wrong person from the community for a task. If you want a large FRED feature you'd think the two coders who have probably added more FRED features than the rest combined and who are also well known FREDders would be the ones to look at. :p

Same as I wouldn't expect anyone to clone me if they wanted a graphics feature. :)

That said, cloning me now wouldn't help much, you'd just get more of me working on Disapora. :p




Anyway, can I get a look at your design document before you get started Goober. I might have some suggestions of my own.

Either way, I'll have more to say when I'm not posting from my phone.

Re: Idea - Per-Mission Customizable Communication Menu
I...love this idea in theory, but it seems really circuitous. There's a lot of added complexity required here in order to handle something pretty simple. I have a lot of reservations.

e: Basically my big issue is exactly how this would play with the events editor, and whether it could possibly permit any kind of context. What if I only want a ship to be able to give a certain response before a certain event triggers? What if I want to change responses based on events in a previous mission?

I can do all that, trivially, in the events editor. This new conversation editor, I'm not sure.

Well, the coder who was working on my design has had to suspend operations due to being clobbered with schoolwork.  He still wants to continue, but it may not resume for another month or two.

I'll reiterate that I'd like to see the design before this goes any further.

I'm pretty sure I already went over it with you?

Re: Idea - Per-Mission Customizable Communication Menu
You might have done. I have a short memory. :)

But in that case, I'd like to see it again.
