I can create DMSI v3.3.3 from 3.3.2, upgrading nothing but the skeleton script, adding FRM 4.9 and building it in Platinum Lake build method, which I estimate will take about a week to do and will give me a good idea of what I am working with since the tech has improved so much since v3.3.2 came out. Basically this would have the advantage of being easy and rapid to build, and would tell me a lot more about what I need to do to get those affected to respond before building v3.4.
This is only my opinion...
I don't think DMSI should be made until the pandemic is over.
Even when the opposite sex does have the urge to make a move, most certainly the idea of getting the virus which could lead to death will outweigh the desire to procreate.
I second this, Also it using up 1 of the 2 free upgrades is annoying. then the FRM thing gets figured out and if it does not work well yet we will have to pay for any adjustments.
If we upgrade when FRM thing does get figured out, we will have one more upgrade to get any kinks worked out.
Just my opinion though.
4K makes a good point regarding the pandemic. However, the whole 1 of 2 free upgrades thing? We've had how many to this point, for less than $200/copy? Come'on. It's getting ridiculous. It was always an experimental purchase. I've had fun, and got more than my money's worth, at times. It also feels good to have been a part of helping develop 6G through using and reporting on using DMSI.
Looking forward, someday a 6G DMSI - perhaps even a multistage DMSI - would be something I'd pay for in an instant.
This plays into something I've said before, RT. I hear you 100% bro!
Shannon keeps doing this "I work for free on this program" thing and pushing it back further and further to not work on it because of that belief. Even months ago, yet again, it was supposed to be the focus, but then got derailed and backburnered again, likely for the same reason. I've said we've ALREADY paid for it, many of us have paid multiple years ago for it...and are still waiting for a functional release that works. V3.3.2 has not been upgraded since it came out, which was September 2019...September 2019...
He doesn't seem to be seeing that side of the argument. So, it's clear the only way to get the program made in a reasonable time frame, and to have it ready for when the pandemic ends, is to pay to have it made. We've *already* paid for it...but with his belief of "working for free now on it", we have to do something to break this deadlock or else the program will likely never be focused on to fix it's issues that will take a few months of time as he's stated I believe, and thus likely never made. It's clear the "two free updates" are a mirage and not likely to occur in any reasonable time frame because of his belief on this issue, the last update for DMSI was September 2019 as stated. So, it's clear we need a different approach here to move things forward.
I'm more interested in a fully working DMSI with above issues fixed, than I am in another $115USD. As I said long ago when I tried to table this with DMSI, this removes the "I work for free" objection. He turned it down before confusingly, maybe this time it will go through. He stands to make a lot of money if he does it!
Let's all just cut the shit and get down to business and make this program a beast, and get 6G pumping once and for all. Buy a new version and get things moving now, it's been stagnant forever. He needs the help and money, regardless.
He can make V3.3.3 now by focusing on the effected-FRM etc. issues, then go build UMS V2 in the meantime for more dollars, while V3.3.3 provides feedback, then circle back for V3.4 with a new paid upgrade to iron things out and tweak anything that needs tweaking. Problem solved. Let's just stitch this one up once and for all...it's dragged on for years. It has the potential to change my life if it can ever work, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that potential. So let's do this.
Forget about the "free updates"...it's pretty obvious that won't happen for the reasons described. It isn't worth his time to him, so we need to change that to balance out the value of things. Win-win.
Another win-win here, people. Let's get this program going again, and help Shannon during this nightmarish period!
