Это вы с Буном делаете? А с Джаззом что, делиться не будете что ли? А можно как-то не держать в секрете, что там происходит в высших сферах? Надеюсь, вы не считаете нас ползающими внизу червяками, недостойными всё это знать...

Джазз не то, чтобы рвётся сотрудничать. Надеюсь, некоторый успех этого предприятия его заставит. Конкуренция — великий мотиватор.
In any case, it's good there are people dealing with those problems. AI is a mess.
If I may, what are the advantages of upgrading the library?

Boon tried to speak with Jazz first. We haven't got any NH sources yet. Jazz seems to be solo developer.
We are working on making it possible to work together with another developers.
I hope I made it clear. Albeit I don't understand your complaints.

This is not about competition, at least on this stage.

About upgrading library there was some discussion long ago. It should solve some issues with newer computers that are basically too powerful to run Eador. Maybe it won't.

Да какие комплэйнты... Понедельник, утро, выборы в Костроме... Просто я уже давно думаю "вот было бы здорово, если бы к кругу непрограммистов в лице Адрагерона и Джазза присоединился настоящий программер, да ещё энтузазист - Бун", Джаззу писал на эту тему, самому Буну сочувствовал; и тут - на тебе, Бун уже в ванилле Аллегру проапгрейдил и Линуксовую native-поддержку добавил. А мы, мужики, не знаем. Ну, в принципе, я выплеснулся, и щас наоборот, на сердце радость - ура! Наконец-то. Очень надеюсь, что и в НГ перетечёт по крайней мере техническая часть ваших изменений.

Can you add touchscreen support? Current touch detection is really off.

@Arkitekt - I can't even say how much excited and happy I am, due to news about this patch! List of suggested changes seems to be very reasonable (especially online/LAN multiplayer - I like hot-seat option, but due to it's nature it's quite limited, and possibility of playing in Eador: Genesis with devoted fans from the whole world would be great). Personally, I'm not Linux user, but I appreciate the fact that you're planning to release Linux port - I personally consider PC games as one of the most inclusive sort of entertainment, and releasing a game also on free system (or rather family of systems) is a good step.

I know that there already exist methods with DxWnd to change resolution, but to be honest - I've never managed to use it with full success (and I know that there are other people on GOG forum, who also had such issues). Therefore, I would suggest such option (change resolution), if it would be possible.

I wish you a lot of perseverance and strength in making this patch (and releasing it)!

I don't think we'll see multiplayer in near future. As far as I know nobody is working on that stuff.

My idea is a bit different. There are people around the internet that are interested in making some changes in game and doing some specific stuff like programming. If we could bring them all together and convince them that Eador is not dead already we at least have a chance the game will continue developing. And having the list of all possible improvements seems quite reasonable. I don't think we'll ever compete this list, be we could take some items we are capable to do, implement them and move to "done" list. One by one.

Hello NecRus888,

Do you still play Genesis? Do you play New Horizons?
(Jazz implemented some of the proposed changes in NH.)

I have offered to help Jazz, but the language barrier is very strong, and I think Jazz enjoys being the only one in charge.
He does not wish to let players choose a hero's starting skill (he considers it cheating).
Also he wants people to focus on role-play, and refuses to reveal game mechanics (such as medal award conditions)

Regards.

From my side the work has stopped for some time.
I never deal with low level programming in my daily life, so I need to spend some time for learning. However my current estimate we can do this. I doubt we should though.
I'm very glad NH team creates some competition. I remember how NH mod was emerging and now it definitely becomes solid community project. But as long as it is some sort of religion, I personally vote for alternative.

Thx for your answers!

I'd to see any new projects.
So NH is NH only via Jazz's hard work. It isn't religion. Jazz prove himself and he can make great mod. He is an author with his only vision. And I assume it's a best way for NH evolution as successor of Genesis.

Anyway I wish you good luck. We hope to see any your possible implemented features.
