Uhm... As far as I can tell, DIGI Byte is not part of Frictional Games, so that 3rd of January date doesn't mean when he will come back from his vacation.
until then I'll be looking around at files and seeing what code we can copy/replace to make it work, but I doubt it until they release some stand alone overwrite code for extra weapons

What he meant was that frictional is on vaccation so we cant progress further. Were waiting on them making coding for us right?
RE: Penumbra flashlight in Amnesia? - Akumasama - 12-29-2010
For god's sake, they won't write a damn code to let us make extra weapons.
You may wait for it until they write one, but they simply won't.
Frictional Games is a small company, they don't have the resources to give us things that they don't need. They are writing a new engine atm, and that's where all the money is going to.
They didn't even write a small tutorial on how to import and export animations and skeletons when I asked for it a few times, so let alone they write a whole piece of code to make us have extra weapons.

I highly doubt they will make any code for anyone.
If they make something, it is more likely to be an bug fix or related to something bigger, such as releasing the engine as an open source (for example).
Also, on the other hand, few years back Frictional Games was more interested about single users minor problems, such as coding for example and they were very willing to help on any problems someone might have occured but due to the fact they have gain some success, they start to be really busy with the current work (fixing bugs from current games, HPL Engine 3 and the new game), I highly doubt they will come and write any code ready.

wow... scraper...
Frictional a small development company and I would expect them to care for their community to offer at least a week or 2 for alil extra code for those who have time to make things...
We are talking about a small friendly development company... not a big corporate company like EA games...

We just have to wait and see if frictional games will offer the time and day too help their community
RE: Penumbra flashlight in Amnesia? - xiphirx - 12-29-2010
I think Frictional would code things we request. We are the fans that buy their games.
*shakes fist*
But on the item scripting or addition, I don't think it should be too hard, and it could come in a patch.
RE: Penumbra flashlight in Amnesia? - Akumasama - 12-29-2010
Just... Please, don't hope for anything.
I've mentioned this in a few posts earlier (which got ignored), but Scrapers post got noticed, so he made the point clear.
RE: Penumbra flashlight in Amnesia? - xiphirx - 12-29-2010
Then I believe it's fine to release it as a hack for the time being so people who want to have it can have it.
RE: Penumbra flashlight in Amnesia? - Akumasama - 12-29-2010
I geuss that's the best thing you can do now.
The dev's will surely say something of it if it were to be so important, right?
RE: Penumbra flashlight in Amnesia? - LoneWolf - 12-29-2010
Yeah i completely understand if they dont give us it. Woudl be really nice though. Maybe for the future game.
