Due to this <http://support.mystonline.com/serverstatus/urulivelive.php>, I will probably spend most of my free time in Uru rather than working on Pipmak until the beginning of April. This means that probably the 0.2.7 release will be delayed until then, too. What remains to be done, off the top of my head: - update the demo project (almost done) - restrict drawing operations to runtime-created images and implement copying from file-loaded images, to fix (or sidestep) some of the bugs found by Andrea - check loadlib on all platforms - work around rendering issues on iBook 16MB - explain why I probably won't fix the problem with stacked cubic nodes for this release - general cleanup of readmes, version numbers everywhere, etc. - build and test on Linux and Windows See you in the cavern (those who are there)! -Christian |

Enjoy it! Pipmak will not walk away (since you have not implemented feet.) |

Most of the ages are in the offline version from 2004 (Uru Complete Chronicles = Uru Ages Beyond Myst + To D'ni + Path of the Shell), but some new ones are only in the online version. And, of course, only the online version allows you to explore together with people from all over the world, which is surprisingly much fun even for a loner like me. The current online version from GameTap ("Myst Online Uru Live", MOUL) is completely separate from the old offline version from Ubisoft, you don't need to buy the latter to try the former. Although, you're in Switzerland, like me, right? Unfortunately MOUL is only officially available in a limited range of countries, Switzerland not among them. I decided to make an account through the back door and enjoy it while it lasts when I heard of the cancellation. > Pipmak will not walk away (since you have not implemented feet.) Your turn to implement them ;) -Christian |

It's a fundamental issue with how the hand and pan tools interact with overlaid nodes, it's not just a superficial bug. I need to spend some thought on how to solve this properly. The current behavior, where on overlays always the hand tool is used, indepentently of what tool is selected on the background node, makes sense when the overlay is e.g. a tools palette - clicking on the tools palette while having a paint tool selected shouldn't paint on the palette, but select a new tool. But of course this behavior is inapropriate when the overlay is part of the scenery. Perhaps we need to distinguish between "palette" overlays and "scenery" overlays, or perhaps the pan tool needs to be made a special case, or something. -Christian |
