Hi all,


The recent AC update has added enough new features and broken enough minor details that it's time for a new release of Decal.

In the interest of releasing well tested software without bugs, we will need players and plugin authors to test the release before it is official, and with a somewhat diminished player base, I have decided that the best scenario is just to ask anyone willing to test beta software to participate. The new release is nearly ready and if you want to test, just send me a private message and I will PM a link to you when we have a release candidate (hopefully within a day or two). Please include a Decal export in your PM so I can have an accurate measurement of what operating systems and plugins are currently in use.


Thanks,

Haz

I sent you a PM, not sure if you got it.

This forum sw is atrocious, lol.

I got it, I thought I would see a notification that I received PMs, heh. That is not the case, I got a bunch of PMs from people that I didn't even notice until just now.


So if you did PM me, don't worry, I got it. Paradox is working on getting the server updated so we can upload a new release to it, when that happens there'll be a build up.

Oh, and as a heads up, Decal will require MSXML6 from now on, so if you don't have it installed, you will need it in the future.

Well, my old account here on the VNBoards had expired at some point (I logged in before it required email addresses, and surprise surprise, IGN's system of switching an old account to a new one didn't work for me), I sent an email to IGN, no response back...

Anyhow, I'd like to be a beta tester as well, but can't send PM's until my post count reaches 20 (which wouldn't be a problem if I could log into my old account)

I have a Windows XP (with SP2) box, and also a Windows 7 box that I can test it on.

This seems like a good time to ultimately resolve the "where does decal officially live?" problem. Some people get it from decaldev.com (though that side doesn't work as I typed it there), some from decal.dreagis.com. Some from other places.

Would it be possible to either fix decaldev.com or replace it with sourceforge/some other web solution? It seems like needless complexity to have it living at multiple places on the web, especially considering the problems many people have with getting it installed and working.

If neither of those two sites are idea, where should I be pointing people to get Decal?

Hi,

I also have forgotten my login details of for the account I had a long time ago, and can't send any private messages for the moment.

So any chance this new decal release will have the vendor .net wrapper fix?

Decaldev.com and decal.dreagis.com are the same machine, joe. We're working on getting a more permanent site up, but we used to have a dedicated server machine and it died, so we're back to shared hosting and the custom solutions we had before are no longer usable software.


And the new Decal does have a number of WF improvements, including vendor fixes.

Well let me at it! I'm writing vendor/wf code later today.
