El, don't know if you read this board, but I just wanted to thank you for all the work you have done for all of us in AC. Be Blessed in all you.

Up to El what the future is. Everythign else is speculation.

Well, I just got permission from Elgar to post his PM, but I will simply post the relevant part of it:


"ELTank will stay, so long as no patch breaks it. It's extremely stable code, so it would have to be a change in decal to break it. I'll not be updating it, but I'll unlikely release the source ..."

I can almost guarantee that once the New View System is implemented it will break.


Just a heads up for potential problems.

Aye, that is why I wanted to inform people here now. So that they can make plans for their ACMing needs.


ElTank may work for 1 month or 6 months, but eventually it will break and when it does, there will be no support for it.

Omg No!

I have been working on a ElTank wannabe plugin for some time now, if I keep going I might drop it out there Lets just hope that the real ElTank works for a long time because it's great!

Sigh.


First Sixth Sense Died. I continue to mourn.


Then Bandit Sight Died. I continue to mourn.


Thank god for old reliable - El Track.


Oh, never mind, it's dying too. Dammit.


I am VERY thankful for all the years and efforts (sometimes thankless) Elgar put in keeping the plug-in up and running, and rather selfishly wish he would reconsider continuing to support it - but - alas, this too shall pass. I wish him well on his ore mining in EVE.


I also wish I had the computer savvy to write a plug-in, but, I don't. Using AC Tool, it took 5 people, using little words, weeks to help me write a simple script (making my guy wave). I had a migrane for a month after that. Translation, for the Decal Addicted enjoyment of the game I enjoy, I need people like Elgar.


And now, well, when Turbine intentionally does something they know will borq El Tank - knowing Elgar walked away, and mark my words, once they realize he's serious about leaving, they WILL change something in game enough to borq the plug-in and good. Did I say intentionally? Oh, yeah, I did.


Then El Tank will join my list of mourned for plug-ins.


Bringing me full circle to:


Does "Find-it" do the trick for tracking items, names, etc? Can it be run at the same time as Lifetank? Are there any other tracking plug-ins out there? Any in progress? Anyone have access to the source for any of the extinct ones?


And buff bot plug-ins? Once Turbine intentionally (there's that word again) borq's El Tank, what other options are out there?


And last but not least - I have been playing this game for 6+ years - I remember the days scrapping for Jewelry, Undies, Pieces of Armor, etc. to provide those self buffs. I remember what it is like to be a good patron, help, but not pamper the vassals - and I know how to play the game as a nOOb character without relying entirely on the BOT kingdom. But I find I have no desire to go back to those days. I also believe that the majority of players out there are not interested in working for advancement either. I fear Elgar's departing is writing on the wall for an End to Decal. At the game's current state, and end to Decal would end the game. Period.
