Hello.

I think that you should have to spend version 0.4 because it drags on too long.

.

What do you mean by that? The 0.4 version was released a long time ago.

I mean the complete edition.Masterlist 0.3 should be disabled.

As soon as stormeus/maxorator come back from their mini-inactivity, R2 masterlist should be removed and replaced with VC-MP 0.4.

The current release is the actual complete edition. Do you think they keep some sort of full feature release to them self. With what would it help you if they change the release tag from Alpha/Beta/RC to Stable when it's the same code?

If you wan't them to speed up development then you could ask them to accept contributions form other developers. More developers= more contributions = more code = more features = more eyes to look for bugs = faster development. But seeing how that never happened you're left with the same development speed as it was so far.

Which is quite fine by me but the API for the developers/scriptwriters is missing some key features that would make the development of game modes easier and better. That's just me and since I don't play the game and just use it as a learning environment then it doesn't count for much.

Please note there's currently only 3 or 4 24/7 0.4 servers around. Most of which are not even unique, fun or use a default script.
Do you really think disabling 0.3 will have a good impact on that? I think people will just leave VCMP because there's no good servers to play in anymore.

I think the exclusion of 0.3 encourage people to do server 0.4 and so are the people all the time that they hope will be forever to 0.3 at the beginning I would complain but I will play on 0.4

Disabling 0.3 masterlist will result in that it won't be possible to see announced servers in servers tab, but everyone is and will always feel free to add servers to favourites list.
0.3 will not be dead. I also know someone can write his own servers list and edit URL in current browsers like default or VRocker's, thus 0.3 will be alive.

Thijn, I noticed more servers like 7 or 8 and half of them are unique. They sometimes disappear from masterlist. Anyway, you as a beta tester, or especially Castagna who afaik has been invited to script servers, we are unable to see unique servers which we ever can imagine in 0.4.
Maxorator absence doesn't forbid you to do official servers.

Although i wasn't invited just to make gamemodes, those were meant to be scripted in order to test the squirrel plugin mainly back in 2012/2013, when the squirrel plugin was in a beta stage and unstable, not anymore. The fact that servers/plugins were released to the public now, means we're giving the ability to the whole community to make/convert/experiment their own servers.

If you are unable to see unique servers that's no up to me or either the VC:MP team, you're mistaken. Neither you, Thijn nor me can push or force server owners to write and update 0.4 servers. Official and popular servers are being developed if that's your concern, and having a brand new platform and new features takes a time to plan the gamemode structure and the scripting itself.

This stage aims exclusively to R2 server owners, whether they own big or small, popular and unpopular server communities. This is the right moment to develop their outdated scripts. You can't claim to see the entire R2 servers scenario in 0.4 from one day to another, so yeah, a matter of time.

I guess you better be on 0.3.
