Face it, Decal is gone.
The developers have quit AC like many before, they won't give away their hard work.
So, if some of these people offering to help can step up to the plate and just write us a new free application so we can play our favorite game. Please get on that right away ok?

NBK, you sound like a crack addict, I swear.
Decal was down for the better part of a year when ToD came out. In the last "80" patches, Decal updates were several days in coming WITHOUT notice from the development team in roughly 20% of the patches. Generally, you don't hear anything UNTIL the updated memlocs are available. Add to that the fact that there wasn't much notice for this patch. I don't know about you, but I don't get called in from vacation or work or illness, etc, for an unplanned update to VOLUNTEER work. And yes, the free part does matter. No one is obligated to continue to provide you with free services, on demand, and on your schedule. You're foaming at the mouth because your FREE PLUGINS don't work. Holy Hannah... Doesn't that strike you as the least bit ODD?! The devs aren't the rude ones here.
Especially since ToD came out, I've kept at least 100 bundles of every arrow type. I'm literate, so I can ID my own loot, almost as fast and at least as reliably as the plugins. And my spellbars have always been set for self-buffing (and buffing others), hunting, questing, and maintaining my vitals on my main.
That said, I'll be happy when I have dungeon light back and I reallllly appreciate MiniMap even more now.
I'll leave you to tweak in peace now. Perhaps you should look for a DRT.

I appreciate the work the devs of Decal do every time I log in. And I contribute to them on paypal when I can.
I believe, since the patch was on Thursday and wasn't announced till Monday or Tuesday, that someone is on vacation. It IS summer. I hope they have a great time, and enjoy every minute of their time away.

"NBK, you sound like a crack addict, I swear."
Can you at least figure out how RUDE you are?
"No one is obligated to continue to provide you with free services, on demand, and on your schedule."
It's NOT my schedule. Try re-reading things a few times before you reply. THEY created the time-frame by their OWN actions. Do you understand that? It's realy simple.
And you're right (like I already said), they don't have to continue providing the updates. But they should say something, and maybe do the right thing and pass it along to someone else if they aren't going to anymore.
"I don't know about you, but I don't get called in from vacation or work or illness, etc, for an unplanned update to VOLUNTEER work". Do you know what has happened? Enlighten us.
And I am guessing I am glad I don't know what a DRT is. But, maybe you do.

I'm hearing a lot of speculation on our server lol! Everything including stuff like:
He's on vacation.
He's been kidnapped.
He's in the hospital.
He's been abducted by aliens.
He gave up on Decal.
He got in a tissy with Turbine over something and is punishing the players.
He's trying to blackmail Turbine into buying Decal.
He's sick of macros and is trying to get rid of them.
He's angry about something and wants Asheron's Call to shut down.
The devil told him not to update the memlocs.
Tom Cruise told him not to update the memlocs.
Chester The Cheeta told him not to update the memlocs.
His girlfriend doesn't like it when he updates the memlocs.
He dropped his laptop with the updater on it in the river while crossing over it on a tightrope.
He didn't check Priceline and got a bad deal on his vacation and William Shatner had Ralphie smash his bowling ball.
He is deceased.
The stories abound and some are rather entertaining. Until he gives us some feedback we won't know. If he never/can't give us feedback we will never know.

I'm not even going to try to figure out how it's "rude" for an unpaid development team to not make a post within 48 hours of a rushed through patch.
However, If X is posted once AND nochange is posted thereafter THEN one may assume that a stance remains the same...
From the Decal Development Team:
"We’re not paid to work on Decal, and most of us have jobs of our own. As such, we can’t give a guaranteed timeframe as to when we’ll be ready."
If I handed out candy for free and people started demanding that I do so in their timeframe, I might be tempted to put away the candy and bolt the door.
Many of us can and do play with or without Decal. But My thanks to the devs for what they do.
I agree with Paloma!

I'll go with the "He's been abducted by aliens." Seems to be the most logical.

I am beginning to think like Sakk.
Decal won’t die if there is at least one person to support it. There is at least one person to support it.
The alternative would be to take the code and walk away. Since decal has been a community effort, that seems unlikely as it would be very rude to close up shop without giving others an opportunity to try to support it.
That leaves the person(s) who do the support out on vacation. Or something tragic, but I would much rather it be they are living it up. It seems logical since it is summer, in many parts of the country there is fair weather, and there currently is no school.
We may have to wait up to a couple of weeks for even word if there is indeed only one person who supports decal and they are on holiday.
That personally would suck though, I really like decal |
