To make it possible to drag from one panel to another, how about dropping over the title tab counts as dropping in the panel for over_location?

Well, a snail's pace is practically faster than the completion time of many announced BYOND games, so we should be happy. And anyone who has suffered lovely snails know how fast (relatively) they can move in a day.
But then again, you should take my comments with a grain of salt. splattergnome the gnome with the off-topic replies | |

slugs like to wrap around firecrackers. When the firecracker goes off, you get a nice bang, and a wet spot on the ground -_-

Bah, ack, and one of my oldie-but-goodies, ach (to correctly pronounce this one, listen to someone from Scotland say the word "loch.")

Neat idea! I'll List it. I'm hoping that for this next release we'll actually be able to support multiple stat panels on the screen, but we'll see. Unfortunately, it's moving along at a snail's pace right now, bah. Have you ever considered outsourcing some of this? There are several programmers in the community who are well-versed in C++ and could probably add some of the lesser items on the List. Lummox JR | |

C++ isn't the necessary foundation there, though -- I'm well-versed in C++, but I know approximately nothing about Windows GUI programming. ;-) | |

We already have a couple of users working with the hub code. Outsourcing the BYOND software code is definitely something we want to do in the future. I believe that it would be more trouble than it's worth at this point, since so much of the infrastructure is poorly designed and undocumented. One thing I think I can do without too much hassle is completely modularize the graphics code and allow someone else (probably you :) to update the /icon routines. I'll try to think of other items on the List that might be easily massaged. | |

If you want to speed up Dantom production times, send money! Actually, just the other day I was thinking of sending the vast majority of my first couple of paycheques to Dantom. My logic: I've lived without a paycheque for 18 years, so it's not like another few weeks is going to kill me. (My resume gets handed in to a couple stockroom positions some time next week.) They've been more than just generous to me and everyone else around here in the past, so I figure that it's the least I can do. Besides, I don't have anything besides gas that I need to buy. Assuming I can hold a job (and I don't think I'm one who'd have a bad work ethic), by the end of the year I could certainly have earned quite a bit for both me and Dantom. Whatever I don't want, Dantom can have to support the server (and themselves). The only problem that I can think of is that Dan and Tom don't like accepting charity. And to that, let's just say that I'm game for a battle of wills. ;-) (Number of times the word "I" appears in this post: 12 (or 13, including this line).) | |

The only problem is that since everything on BYOND has subscriptions in mere dimes, there's not enough to subscribe to! I suppose that you could subscribe to a few decades of BYONDscape though. Or you could be generous and give your money to other people to subscribe to BYONDscape with. Or you could just tell them too bad and send it anyway. | |
