Constructive Focus

I fear that numerous minor issues and 'would like's could clog or cloak a limited number of very vital issues to make 1.3 functional.

In light of the valued and limited nature of any eventual dev work on 1.3, i suggest

I- A FOCUSED FOR DEV LIST (description without opinions nor chatter)
focusing on comming up with a SHORT list of MAJOR issues, (ex: top 10 list) that is;
a) major bugs (major impact and frequent)
b) 1.3 features that although already accessible to players do not work.
c) hardcoded aspects that cannot be fixed nor tweaked by modders
for DEVs, in a very cartesian summary format that simply describes the issue period.


II-FOR MOD DISCUSSIONS
This being done, we can discuss seperatly about aspects that the community can acheive in some sort of  1.3 Default Mod. By this I mean no new units, or anything fancy, just basic unit balancing and other fixes/improvements that can be performed by modders in files familiar to modders, so that we can play on a common improved version of the 1.3 (or existing 1.3Beta).
Other personal MOD projects could take this default Mod as a stepping stone, as if it were the original 1.3 and go from there...

Thats a good idea, but the 'issues' that are to be presented will have to be pre-discussed to figure out which ones are worth presenting. Then we can lay out a topic for that.

Ie: All the modders bugs WERE discussed on Timedisruptor, then were presented here by Slaor and TV, but all of the sudden a bunch of newbie-modders spammed up THAT topic with a bunch of crazy requests that are not viable and not what people who are actually spending much of their days working on a MOD project want.

The focused major bug list was presented by Jwk, he got some good ones, though I dont agree with all of them, he did it right.

I also thought up the "(minor/Medium/MAJOR :subject) description " system. with the intention of making the lives of the Dev's easier.

thing is, i never got around to *properly* doing the sticky thread due to....bzii's...politics. Don't you just love it.

Anyway, zero, you pm about what you would like to seendone to the sticky thread and we can disscuss it like gentlemen :P
