RTB Development
canto xe:
You can always leave it up open the holding tank so we can see it for a month an then decide if you keep it or not
Ephialtes:
No - I decide what I keep. Users play no part in quality control.
Update on v4
I've been continuing development on the chat server and surprisingly this is nearing completion. Authentication is in place as well as private room persistance. I suspect the server will be complete in the next couple of days.
The toughest bit is the interface for the chat - It's very interactive and looks pretty cool so far. It should feel like a proper friends list and not some hacky torque add-on. Here's another example of the menu functionality (my bad for the jpeg quality):
V4 was originally going to include a lot more features but I'm thinking I might just cut everything out and release it as just the chat client (and then introduce the other features in 4.1). I think people have waited long enough for this so I don't want to delay it any further. I will be aiming for a private/public beta of the chat client in roughly a month's time and depending on performance we can then go ahead for a full release.
Rotten Cheese:
Looking good, Can't wait for release

I wonder if other people attempting to make chat clients has anything to do with this...
Ephialtes:
Sure, partly. I've thrown around a lot of ideas in this thread regarding a chat client and it'd be a shame if someone else implemented my own ideas before I could.
It's not like I've suddenly decided to make a chat client - this has been on the drawing board for atleast a year.
