Stiletto development status: on hold.

[Ryko]

Hi folks,

 

As some of you have noticed lately, I haven't been as active on server or in development of the Stiletto mission.  Things have become busier in my life over the last few months, leading to less available time to put into Arma; coupled with the fact that Stiletto is more (or less) at a stable version, the purpose of this post is to inform you that for the foreseeable future, I won't be continuing further development of the mission.

 

There is a notable exception to this: on the staff level, we are envisioning an update to the mods employed on the AWE server, which will necessitate an overhaul to the vehicles available for spawning and equipment available in the arsenal.  I'll be putting forward a version 061 of Stiletto to accommodate this, but after that, I don't foresee a version 062 (except of course, when there are minor bugs to quash from 061).

 

What I will consider for 061 are essential mission fixes seen in 060 (if something is broken in the current version, I'll want to have it as fixed as possible). In addition, the vehicle spawning system is new, using points, and this is an opportunity to fine tune any point costs that haven't been working.  I haven't seen any feedback about that, so I'm assuming it's not causing big problems.

 

That said, I'm willing to allow other interested developers to extend the mission beyond 061: if you're interested in this, drop me a message.

 

I do hope to be able to get online again, it's just that for the next few months, I'm going to be swamped with a few projects IRL.  As I've always been the first to say to everyone else - real life has to come first.

 

Thanks,
