Morderon's recent efforts (and past too!)
Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2018 9:02 am
It often seems to me we have a lot of unsung/underappreciated members of the team, and goodness knows many of them have been working their socks of these last weeks.
I could start threads for them each, but for now at least I want to say a few words about Morderon.
This a developer with a long commitment to Arelith that asks for nothing in return. To this day I've still no idea who he plays, or indeed very much about him/her at all. Not unlike a superhero he often just swoops down when we need him most.
For those of you that don't know Moderon's general area of expertise/background is in the settlement & faction system, having introduced the latter, and many of the more recent features of the former (warehouse system etc).
It seems that he's always devising new way to improve the game, and can often show up with highly original ideas. He's also a workhorse, someone I have discovered I can generally call on when things get difficult for us.
I was inspired to make this topic following his recent work on addresssing shop/inventory/container & stacking bugs. For those of you unaware this was a key area of NWNX function we are as yet unable to port over from 1.69, had delayed migration in the first place, and has been the cause of much inconvenience among players.
Over much of these last days, when many of us have been enjoying playing EE he has been knee deep in code, fixing this issue for us, and with so much to consider it hasn't been easy.
While it is very simple for us to get frustrated when things are broken, it is often hard to understand the efforts that can go into fixing them. Without Morderon this would have stayed broken much longer, and while I've never seen him ask for it, I thought if we could share a few words of appreciation then he might see just how valued his efforts have been! (Also, well because we're sure to be asking him for more in future...)
