D'oh! How'd I miss you again?!? You going to be on tonight?

i will be on again tonight

Ceb Cin summarizes two articles that he links to. The first is with Pavel Šafář, the Project Lead for the Enfusion engine. The interview is at 80 Level, a website dedicated to developer interests. It provides additional detail around the engine and the editor that they are building to provide modding support.

The second is from the Czech edition of Forbes with BI's founder and CEO, Marek Španěl. (Sorry, I couldn't find an English translation so we're out of luck reading it.) Marek apparently confirms that there will be a demo of some sort in players' hands this year. Ceb Cin thinks that demo may be Arma Reforger with an Arma Four coming out in 2023 or 2024.

CallMeTOMMEH reviews the same interview at 80 Level. A slightly different take here. More of a gamer than a modder's perspective.

TL;DW version? Three highlights for me:

• While the in-engine footage looks absolutely spectacular, both vids mention that the engine is meant to be cross platform; PC, XBox, and PS. That suggests that it will gracefully degrade the visuals in order to let the game run on all three platforms.  That in turn means that those of us with older PCs shouldn't be left out in the cold.
• One goal is creating a modding environment where a modder will never have to step outside the editor to do anything. "No more text editors." That should make mod and mission development more efficient.
• The interview with Pavel puts a lot of emphasis on no more worrying about locality. IOW, a modder shouldn't have to worry about where code is running.

More to come!!

nah, gonna be grilling here, and then watching the hockey game

  Sorry I missed you Beef! My stepdaughter was in town for a quick visit. We dropped her off at the airport a few hours ago. You up for some silliness tonight?

i was on for an hour... i am not good at commander, so really hard to do anything... i'm off

my wife is outta town, and there is no hockey game to watch...
I will be on. (2-19-22)

I need to redo my signins & such to see what capabilities you're paying for again.  I'm still fighting github to recover those keys & started a new account incase i never do...f'ing MS.

Something as simple as this in php could work for basics if you don't want sorting etc ... that will take another level of complexity.

function display_data($data) {
$output = '<table>';
foreach($data as $key => $var) {
    $output .= '<tr>';
    foreach($var as $k => $v) {
        if ($key === 0) {
            $output .= '<td><strong>' . $k . '</strong></td>';
        } else {
            $output .= '<td>' . $v . '</td>';
        }
    }
    $output .= '</tr>';
}
$output .= '</table>';
echo $output;

}


Also - I don't think I'm going to go much farther than that myself with php - as its not the type of job I want. 

I've got 11 frameworks in Javascript I've done tutorials/projects & 3 solid years in ruby on rails if it turns out you need more than an unsortable table.

So, now that you're able to pull reports... Is there a good way to create a view on the website? I think we need a whiteboard session at some point.

We did 2 years & the decision was to hold off on official stuff as we weren't sure you'd ever email hosthavoc to ask them if writing the mod with extdb3 was even possible
