Sneak-peek: More Parties and Claims Progress
🕑 Added 2022-02-08 14:12:24 +0000 UTCHello there,
I am back with quite a bit of progress for the new mod! Check out the video at the top of the post. Here are the full config screenshots like the last time: https://imgur.com/a/MMgODQR
Since the last sneak-peek, I was mainly working on implementing various config options, rewriting some stuff to work with the configs, implementing in-game interfaces for configuring the player configs, fixing some bugs etc. I think the video showcases the most interesting parts of all that quite well.
Working on multiple mods at once is a bit stressful but overall I am enjoying working on the mod. Coding a graphical UI for server configs was quite an interesting task, even if simply coding UI can easily become the most boring thing in the universe. I guess I'm used to that lol.
Thank you for your continuous support!

Thank you very much! You're right, this is taking a lot of hours. More than I ever expected. Some options were super quick, some not so much. Sometimes it's not the option itself that takes time to implement but rather the support for a new "type" of option, especially if you need a UI for it. And UI takes time, let me tell you. On the other hand, something like a list of claimable dimensions seems super simple, but then you realize that it's causing problems that you need to address, if the dimension used to be claimable, which is where more options come in related to that. And those are a lot more complicated and what actually takes a lot of time. And I didn't even showcase them because they are boring lol. Basically, a lot of complicated things behind the scenes to make simpler things happen.

When I see the amount of options and realize the amount of effort that went into implementing every single one of those, I'm amazed at the total number of hours that this update is requiring. It's going to be awesome! And awesome takes time. So don't let people pressure you or rush you. Just accept our deep appreciation for all you do.
