As you know, there have been delays left right and centre, nearing the amount Valve has had with HL2.

As you may or may not have noticed, I've decided to make an XML creator to go along with XPlode2, so the n00bs can have a chance at getting something right for once.

Unfortunately, to do this, I'm going to have to rewrite XPlode again, and start from scratch.

You lot are going to love it. XPlode3 will be the next version. There's going to be a large enough difference that I'm just going to split the codebase and start again.

Anyways, here's the current schedule for XPlode3:

• November 22: XPlode3 silent install module (done)
  
• December 4: XPlode3 core module - XML parser (done - finally supports both ASCII and Unicode)
  
• December 4: XPlode3 core module - Data storage (done)
  
• December 5: XPlode3 full display module
  
• December 6: XPlode3 effects modules

Other stuff will likely be added, and dates changed. You know how things go.
Oh, and another note, I'm more likely to work on it if there are some incentives.. (think about it )

XPlode2 isn't finished, and a heap of things aren't done the way I really should've done them in the start.

@Wraith
I dunno....
I'm betting you won't stay on that schedule....

I mean, right in the middle HL2 is SUPPOSED to come (can't be much more, CS:S is already final) and that might through a kink in the plan. lol.


I can't wait to hear people ask, "where's XPlode 2.0? He's already working on 3!!" Ah, let them come. I got my fingures ready on the sarcasism.

kinda like winamp 5 heh heh

[Alanoll]

I dunno....
Winamp 5 = Winamp 2 + Winamp 3

I don't see that same thing happening with XPlode. lol. Xplode 1 + ? = 3?

LOL

[homiebrah]

Hey, if he can get a square peg in a round hole, then XPlode can equal 3.

[Wraith]

Yeah well, has to wait - I need to finish Qyoob2 first.

Hi there,

today is the 26th of october and I cannot see any changes here

Well, good things need time, and so I just ask, how far you are with the new XPlode version 3? I'm REALLY interested in the program, cause I use version 1.1.2 at the moment and my DVD is not yet finished

for your work

The XML parser was done last week, so I'm ahead of schedule

[Wraith]

And if you're interested as to what Qyoob2 is:

my thoughts exactly

[rbianco]

IMHO, it would be better if you updated the main site with any news, and post in this forum only 2 words: "site updated".
This would be easier for you to mantain (i think), easier for us to look for any news on your excellent tool, and better for keeping the forum for its main job: to be a forum = a place where people talk about something, which is different from a place where to search for updates on something.
... And you would have an up-to-date website, which it isn't at the moment.
Everything IMHO, and just to be as precise and tedious as i can be.
All this doesn't impact on my good opinion on your work!

[kurt476]

i hope xplode creator is easier becuase i don't know any thing about programing in html yet i haven't done any web pages

[Wraith]

Front page of site updated.


And something of interest - commands will now be able to be executed under a different user's context - not limited to just executing things as another user - can copy files, etc. etc. under another account. More information will be added later, but essentially it means there's no reason why per-user settings can't be done without manually running programs.
