Devs, I don't know what to say. It's not like I'm asking to be a guide or anything... but could I PLEASE please please help test the mission editor? You know me, I've been around for a while!

Yours faithfully,
Calder

no

hehe. The only people I know of who test stuff are guides. And the only guides I know of are people who were here in the early alpha.

A few longtime players have been "invited" to test things out. I have wisely been excluded from this initial test group, since I would most likely make a stupid mission that just broke some important piece of Deliverator code.

Besides, someone already made a tequila mission, so I'm all out of ideas...

I make missions that break things all the time... That's why it's called testing. :P

Leber, that was the funniest post I've ever seen here.

Thanks for the laugh!

Yeah, I wrote the tequila mission >_>

Dunno, if people would let me know what they're looking for in an email I'd be more than willing to see what I could crank out.

Leave the testing to the Guides and alphas, sez I. Gives less "test materiel" for the Devs to sift through and draw conclusions than if the whole community began to churn out missions.

I agree with Triple-J. ^_^

We want to make it public as soon as we can, but we're still doing a whole lot of debugging right now.

Pretty cool that it's coming along though, isn't it? :)

Gosh, Inc, You're right! It *IS* Cool!

I have a serious question, though: When we're able to actually use it, will we have the capability to create custom widgets like "NSI Device", "Samoflange", "Lecter's Cage", "Tequila Crate" , etc etc etc?

Edited because lebermac edited his post so now it makes me look stupid. Bleh, yay mission editor.

Oh noes, I didnt get an invite!

/me goes to cry in the corner! :'(

Nah, just kidding, my mission would rule though, it involves sitting round a worm hole all day killing as much stuff as you can! If you get to 500pks, you win, get some free badges, and then you get to stage 2, make an alt!

Woot!

I wish somebody would fix the "Explode spontaneously" action for NPCs...

Ohh oh! invite mes! :P

but, seriously...

yes, it'd be nice, I have played about as long as people who have been invite (aka : RelayeR join after me, I think, and I join a little after Miharu)

but, I still dont expect to be invited, why?

well, I'm not exactly unvierserly liked online, and I'm at least, 6 years younger then the youngest one invite (miharu is somewhere around 20-ish, and everyone else...well, enough said)

anyway, good work devs!

Actually, Miharu and I are the same age, and it isn't 20...

Zamzx zik have you tried going on IRC and asking Andy for the secret password to the mission editor?
Mar 10, 2006 zamzx zik link
Nope, I dont have IRC; I've never gotten around to it, do you have a link for downloading it?
Mar 10, 2006 sarahanne link
I have the link but I can't give it out without permission.
Mar 10, 2006 zamzx zik link
er, I mean a link for downloading a IRC client.
