Thanks. Praise is what's get me going!

The current package is now compressed 1.6 M.
The main exe is uncompressed 800K.


These are the known issues (seems the plug-in pack won't be done in time to release):

THINGS TO DO:
=============
// More plugin parameters
// make way yo access PBW settings from settings page
//earlier Versions of exe and savegames/Gam files

BUGS:
=====
// sometimes dosesn't count players left to upload correctly?
// OSD blurs text if underlying form is moved.
//Sometimes if failed to access web page too many times, the PBW scan button might not reappear until app restart.
// All mail Messages aren't displayed with full content.
//Sometimes starts another individual game companion than requested
//Sometimes doesn't always unpack files, gives a file the name "XXX" when on-line download
//Sometimes shows disabled mods at upstart.


Now off to work!

I won't have much time to work on this during the weekend, now I'll work from lunch (12.00) to tomorrwo morning (09.00), hopefuly get some sleep during the night.
Tomorrow we'll be buying a new floor to a room and on sunday I'll be putting down that flor and perhaps get some time to scrape some paint and repaint some doors and windows and kill some of all these ants around the house.
And the weather looks good so we've got to go and bathe some too.

Here's a picture of why development of the companion sometimes is slow (But release is still planned to next week).

(Married on midsummers eve half a month ago. 15 years since we met, so we thought it about time...)

Congrats Ruatha, You have a great looking family. (although your son looks like he's a wee bit mischivous.) LoL But I guess all boys at that age are right?

Have a great weekend, Cheers!

It is always nice to see what the actual faces of some of the members here at Shrapnel look like.

But congrats on the marriage Ruatha and we know the family comes first before the companion so no worries.

[Slynky]

Well, congrats! And thanks for the photo. Nice looking famliy and I hope for much happiness for all of you.

(hopefully, your wife understands your "other" addiction )

Why the long wait?

Because it's damn well worth waiting for.

Congrats on the wedding. As I discovered myself Last year, being married ain't so bad after all, is it?

[Ruatha]

Nope, it's quite good.
First we thought about doing it purely for practical reasons and becourse our daughter is 7 and her princes dreams are at a height... We didn't think it would change anything for us as we already knew that it was the two of us, as it had been for 15 years and surely will be forever.

But it became something more and it feels really good!
