... Ummm, the official patch mod is still actually a mod. Released by us. >.> It isn't actually integrated into vanilla until george manually sticks it in, likely around the next actual release.

But I thought I heard 1.05 was going to have the patching ability....? Or was that 1.5?Wolfy wrote:... Ummm, the official patch mod is still actually a mod. Released by us. >.> It isn't actually integrated into vanilla until george manually sticks it in, likely around the next actual release.

You mean automatic game update ability? I bet george will still be following the same release pattern. And even if they were frequent, they would still likely just use revision numbers as opposed to sub version numbers.

I really hope George starts using some sort of Patcher program. That would make the life easier for every Trans player.(What? You think everyone is running a DSL line to his or her computer?)
BTW, nice banner you got there Wolfy!

Patching should be an /option/ - I've had enough bad experiences with patching programs to say I'd much prefer to download the full version each time. Then again, I have fast internet so...

At the very least if people want an option it could be in Settings.xml -Ttech wrote:I'm not sure about patcher programs but automatic updates and perhaps some other ideas in the works.
Code: Select all
autoPatch = "false"

I'm not really sure if patch is the right word to use as much as update, you don't patch windows - you update it. I would assume for the same reason it would be considered an update. But I could just be making it up as I go.

True. Let's use the word update from now on -- unless there is a bug like the Domina Recharge, in which case, Patch would be the right word.Ttech wrote:I'm not really sure if patch is the right word to use as much as update, you don't patch windows - you update it.
