Putting on my ESP cap, I suspect Matrix/Slitherine chose the lesser of two evils. Had they offered the new download-only version at the usual&nbsp;substantial discount, you'd have a ...

Kudos for customer service

<t> <br/>
Kudos to Matrix/Slitherine for 150% customer service. I had a shipping problem. M/S took total ownership of the problem and worked at it until it was fixed, with no excuses, delays, double-talk, and me having to argue/fight my way through as sometimes happens with some companies.<br ...

About the 1.0.4 update and updates in general

<t> <br/>
I found out about the 1.0.4 update by accident while reading an unrelated thread. Are updates no longer posted as "announcements" in this forum? Is the announcement somewhere else? I'm not seeing it.<br/>

In particular, I'm looking for the change log that goes with it. There are ...

RE: Need Tables!

<t> I don't believe the map is ever playable on a table, not unless you split it up. It's 9+ feet wide (high). There's an upper limit to a human's reach. I've always pegged that at a maximum map width of 7 feet. I look at this map as part of a vertical setup, if you can find a 10 foot high ceiling ...

RE: Terminology

It's a window. In development environments, a "form" is what will appear to you, an end-user, as some type of window. "Form" is not an end-user term and shouldn't be used in such contexts, such as manuals; it's a programming term.

RE: Included in the download???

<t> The&nbsp;EXE file is not actually the executable for the game itself. This is what is called a self-extracting compressed file, like a ZIP file. It's essentially a ZIP file with a little embedded ZIP extractor so you don't necessarily have to have such a program installed on your computer ...

RE: Don't forget the "etc."

<r> It sounds like there some fogginess about "option" means with respect to Matrix-WiF and ADG-WiF (Raw 7). I recognized the greyed-out options as from WiF and I was surprised to see just how many there are greyed-out. So, when people here spoke up I thought maybe I was putting my foot in my mouth ...

There are several threads now discussing the incompleteness of MWiF. NetPlay is priority A1 to be fixed. Then it is promised to be extended to 6 players. The lack of AI is a big topic. Shannon OKeats says that AI is what really interests him. All the power to him and wishes for success ...
