Devlog update (2014-08-05) weapon gfx, sound lib port for 1.7

[Shoozza]

Hello!

Ok this time we don't forget about the devlog (and delay it forever)! There were no news back then if you wondered.

Last week skoskav updated some gfx (default weapon gfx) and I did finally had some time to work on soldat 1.7.
I found a few music related bugs and did work on 1.7 related sound library replacement porting.
Sadly the port will require more time as I have to fix bugs...

There are no news from the others members. Most of them are idle or busy so I guess it is up to skoskav and me to move soldat forward.

That's it for this week (posting on mobile is horrible..)

Cool, I hope further gfx's & textures etc. will be updated this version!

Why don't you remove some of the inactive devs?

Do you have any 'deadline' for this version to be released?

I was wondering why there didn't happen anything on bugs.soldat.pl in the past few months. There are several open bug tickets but the last resolved bug was from April if i remember correctly.

Good Luck!

I don't think that would do anything positive :\

The dev team isn't a clan. :P Some of us just prefer to work in short bursts.

It isn't like they're being paid and having them on the staff is wasting a salary. Even ChrisGBK is technically still a dev, and he's been gone for years. Devs probably should only forced off the team if they go rogue / do bad things. As Skoskav said, it isn't a clan filled with angst, status, and competition. It's a group of people who work at different paces with varying levels of motivation to stick to a pattern.

They might come back and work on stuff again. It isn't really helpful though that they are gone for extended periods of time without telling anyone. So you talk to walls most of the time as you never know who is gone and who isn't.

Since I handle the 1.7 related work I won't specifically look into bugs but maybe skoskav will have have the time and motivation to do that. After 1.7 is released we will have to check which bugs got fixed due to huge changes in the code.

As for the deadline. I cannot say anything yet. We had a internal deadline for 1.7 which was very optimistic but due to the low activity in the dev team and my lack of time it's not realistic.
There will be a 1.6.x release which mostly depends on how much work skoskav gets done.

Nice I always like the devlogs! ^_^

Let's hope for activity boost when summer ends. Other than that keep a steady pace guys, no rush.
