So, is Roy still dabbling?

[Blackheart_Six 147]

LDL, 

 

I don't think that is a fair assumption. Roy is not dabbling. That's not right.

 

I don't have any insight to what he is doing, but I do know this...he is hand coding tens of thousands of lines of code. He is creating a framework from the ground up, by himself, all for the total cost to you and me of ZERO dollars. 

 

I have been waiting as long as anyone, and I will wait as long as it takes. Form Follows Function. If it doesn't function, then it ain't worth a hill of beans. 

 

He is programmer by trade. Do you think he wants to work all day doing software programming and coding, then come home and do more programming? I think not.

Love you mate, though i need to update the resume with you. Working on ML applications now 😉

 

I'm still working on it but due to current situation this year, my work and family are the important focus in an increasingly poor economic environment.

 

There are 2 principle bugs I'm fixing which, in the last few Arma updates, has caused performance issues in the mission. Once these are resolved, we're good to go.

Well if you are only doing applications work, then no excuse!    :-)

Blackheart,  I think you are taking offense at trivial words.  Dabbling is nothing more or less than him working on it as his time or interest allows.
 

i noted that there seemed to be activity on the patrol ops front and was pleasantly surprised to see as much.  Honestly I thought Roy probably moved on with far more important matters like, oh, real life.

@[AWG]Blackheart_Six Well the good news is all the bugs are fixed. I am just in the process of adding each feature back and testing as I had to rewrite the core event framework and fix the CfgTask creation. It's all working now but just adding all the features back.
I've been pulling many late nights after work to get this done so we can have a good 2021 plus I added modularisation so that took some recoding too and then some

Y’all realize BI will patch PO4 into oblivion about 3 days after it releases,

 

I’m not sure if this makes me a cynic or a pessimist.

Aww I thought I made every version pretty patch resistant... 😛

😐 nice sig...

this is more accurate.

error undefined variable in the expression:
	PO4releaseDate = date + _soon;

10 print “is it done yet?”

20 goto 10

 

its the most effective nag post I have ever made.

[roy86 349]

Lol nice.

 

Someone wrote me a msg a while ago which said:

Quote

while {!(missionNamespace getVariable ["isPatrolOps4",false]} do {hint "Is it done yet??"};

I know it goes again intellectual property rights, and I might be committing a federal offense (Of course what isn't a federal offense these days), but I am stealing that one.

Go for it mate. Also, check Discord! I've messaged you for some testing.
