Akkarin Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I seem to have missed this subforum, possibly because nothing was posted in it until Spre's this morning. However, i'd like to suggest it gets removed from the forum. In the past when new users didn't know what they were doing (myself included at one stage) pre-compiled releases were briliant. At the moment though, the general userbase is able to follow instructions on how to checkout and compile a revision on any OS, and there are very few posts about this - I wouldn't like to see users falling back into what some of us would call old habbits. I like having users who don't know what they're doing checking out the wiki - it's how they learn. The more they learn, the less support topics get opened. If we keep the subforum and more builds get submitted, then one of my favourite phrases can be applied "No point making things fool poof.. they just make better fools :/". This is just my two pennys - Spre don't hate on me @_@
malufett Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 sorry but for me I don't agree... since this pre-compiled version is there first phase of learning... because in learning at first you must have a sense of curiosity followed by follow up question/info gathering where WIKI or google comes out.. I hope you get what I mean.. 1
Akkarin Posted September 25, 2012 Author Posted September 25, 2012 Not really xD If users are going to learn, they should learn to do things properly.
Brian Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I agree with malufett, keep the SVN Compilation Downloads forum. Pre-compiled releases was the first stage of learning for me too.
malufett Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Not really xDIf users are going to learn, they should learn to do things properly. ..noobs are like babies,...give them toys before books...same with Brian that's also my first battlefield in RO development.. well that is human nature of learning...
Euphy Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 If we release compilations, less people will stay updated. It's not like it takes much time to compile a server, so I disagree as well.
malufett Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 If we release compilations, less people will stay updated. It's not like it takes much time to compile a server I think that is not a big deal since noob users are the most beneficial from this pre-compiled releases..
Spre Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I like providing them, it gives me something to do when I am bored. I was almost done with a linux one when my hosting took a doodoo and it is still not back up, boo. 1
