Those sound tags were totally weird.

If there is something I can't figure out right away, I'm just going to mark it as such and I'll keep going. I can't be spending all these hours trying to figure everything out when there is such a large amount of straight-path work to do. I can burn through this.

Release before the weekend. Probably tonight, maybe tomorrow morning.
One of these days you're gonna burn through a tag that's as stubborn as you are, and I don't do bits and pieces!

Awesome though. Can't wait to see the final result.

Re: Sparky's Eschaton Plugins (Final release Saturday night

:roll:
Let's aim for Saturday night.

Goodnight :?

It's pretty straightforward from here. Another solid day of work should do it, though. (It's hard, sitting down for so many days at a time -.-)

EDIT: Here is a video of me making one of the plugins:

EDIT: Another short break just before diving into the shader type plugins.

Tonight's release looks promising, but don't wait up for it. I may post it very late in the night.

Well, that didn't happen when I hoped. Since it's Sunday, I'm gonna take it easy. The goal remains ASAP; within two days seems about right.

I'm making more readme / help text files to include with the set. Enjoy :)

I started the goal at the time of this first post, June 21st. It is almost August 21st, two months later. I should certainly be finished within that time frame, this Saturday.
It was not until a month later that I set this as a priority to finish before cycling through the To Do List again. It feels more like a month than two months, three weeks of straight work.

I'm on the last two plugins, wphi and sbsp. All these HUD tags have been a game of reusing existing setups. The main two types are Backgrounds and Meters, where the backgrounds have MultiTexture Overlays. There are also Foregrounds and something else on the tip of my toungue... ah, yes, Middle.

Anyway, I am almost done with the STRUCTURES of the tags. If you go back to page 6 and look at my most recent goal plugin list, I highlighted some of them in blue. I need to add all the offsets and basically help comments to those tags I put in blue.

Simply:

Finished, Testing Requested (to determine if experimental entries are worthwhile)
Plugin Structure intact, Requires Offsets and Help Comments (don't use these blue-colored plugins until further notice)
Incomplete (if it's listed in white text on the first post in this topic - that long list - then I haven't finished mapping the tag's layout)

You can look at the first post to see where I am with each tag type, I'll update that now.

EDIT: I've been working on this all morning (what else is new, eh?) and need to take another break. Can you believe this is all I've been doing for the past few weeks? This and posting at MGM. It's insane. Anyway, I'll work on SBSP in an hour or so, and ANTR is going to be absolutely insane. I've been pushing back the release estimates for a long time now, this is not normal. But then again, keeping y'all appraised of the progress is not normal either, so take it or leave it.
No more guestimates on the release time. :X

I can read that. the color is not exactly right. it is a bit too purple to match the board background.

durk: mawnk:
okay, as "readable" i meant "easily readable". ·_· i mean, that damn color creates a fucking contrast effect that makes it un-readable graphically!
