super program for HEK?

Prom would have been sweet if it came out. :(



This launcher however is just that, fuck I would have made this exact launcher with a .bat file with a pseudo DOS menu. And I used to do just that back in the day.

Someone get the source files and cut eveyrthing out of it and release a version with just a few basic addons such as the undo feature. Just having an undo feature would make it worth downloading.

Oh god. All the times sapien has randomly changed all the entries in the scenery field to the same object...

Undo is a nerds best freind. Too bad real life doesn't have a crtl+z.

yeah really. I'd have so much fucking money.

E: NOT THAT I DON'T ALREADY JEEZ

Srsly.

That bitch had herpes?

In other words, what you saw in updates was actually what we saw when using Visual Studio's UI editors and such. Nick would use Visio to design mock UIs for parts of Prom but they would get translated into whatever .NET UI components we were using at the time. I don't remember any of those pure Visio models ever making their way into an update.

Eventually (after I had left) Nick finally got into C# and started doing some work on the UI layer. I used to get IMs from him with questions and such when the active team members were afk, drunk, mia or being attacked by their cat and thus couldn't be his knight in shiny armor.

Well then the real question is yeah the old moved on but can't you guys trust in the new and upcomming programmers?

I'm sure dwood could put together some group of people interested.

Dwood has limited programming experience, why would he be the one to gather a group of experienced programmers?

becase the experienced programmers that i know of are busy doing their own tasks.
and I figured he's still learning and he'd be more dedicated to get a team going.

I mean think about it. It's no offense to the experienced and highly skillful ones it's just you all have your own projects i'm sure and probably wouldn't put prom as their top priority. while dwood is still learning, and probably would put prom as top priority, which therefore would result in some progress.

that's just my rational. please don't take it offensively.

How would someone unexperienced with programming make progress on prom??

Because it's a team effort. The team would have to come to terms with any new additions or with anyone who will be messing with their code.

The code has standards and specific designs. If a person isn't fit or have the capacity to mold into such standards or designs then existing programmers wouldn't want them messing with their code.

They haven't made Prom an open source venture and thus won't just allow any joe blow into the blender. It'd be like applying for a paying programmer position. You'd have to show you have your bases covered to continue existing work or start on new systems which have been designed but not implemented. They don't want to have to teach people anything other than maybe some of the systems they've developed in Prom
