Yup, that is the catch-22.


Most people aren't going to use Alpha 4, because ElTank doesn't work on it, hence (like it or not) the vast majority of Decal Users won't bother with it.


My suggestion is to address the issues with Elgar that are preventing a "wide release" of ElTank on Alpha 4, so people will use it and further help test Decal.


I know you don't wanna hear it, but ElTank is a driving force in the world of plugins and because it does so much, people use that for alot of their needs.

I honestly don't care if "people" test and use Decal at all... as long as the developers are still updating their plugins for future releases of Decal, then that works for me.


The main thing I do NOT want to deal with is "people" having support issues for alpha decal and for versions that are out of date. That comes with running alpha software. If you're not prepared to deal with the problems, then don't install alpha software.


So there is no catch-22 because technically, the same people who need to run eltank and need to play with decal really shouldn't be playing with it anyway right now, and Elgar IS working on getting ELTank working with the later versions of decal as we can address the issues. There is a lot of stuff going on that a lot of people don't see.. doesn't mean it isn't happening.
