Return of Reckoning

I recently checked the about page on the site and noticed that Londo is now in 'Former/Inactive' staff members. Is it true? If so, would it be possible to get some update on what it means to the project?

Londo was working on the Launcher and an Instance Builder, as he's talked about in the past. Along with decoding all sorts of packet things. His expertise will be sorely missed, as happens when any talented member of the team moves on. We're going to continue that work during his absence, with our current Devs and hopefully some new ones. He has his own reasons that as far as I know haven't been shared publicly. His leave was on good terms with the team however, and he would be welcome back anytime.

Good to know ! The main problem for you is to patch new content to all player folder ?

Til you create the patcher , why don't ask everyone to download from a link modified myp ?

Atleast 2 reasons :

1- Just take a look on this forum "can't connect thread".
2- What will happen if some have the myp, and some don't? ( if we introduce for exemple a keep in the middle of nowhere, some will see it, and some won't... strange won't you think? ( and i can't imagine posts and crashes, and issues...) :p)

1 - i'll check it

2 - they'll recieve a error message (because wrong myp files) then they will check on forum and see they have to download and replace myp files . Maybe make an announcement 1 or 2 days before , to inform players of new files to download.
Still have hot fix with server, and once a month or something a modified myp to download.

What would send the error msg? Our current launcher doesnt check myps afaik.

Ah ok , thought it does.

It doesn't, that's why we need this whole 'client control'.

I Guess londo was working on it ?

Thanks for detailed answer Wargrimnir.
