Think you also forgot to mention the upgraded USLM v4

USLM4 is upgraded from LTU4 to LTU5 by virtue of the completed Magnus Engine. The script of USLM4 is the same, but it has been made considerably more powerful and effective thereby.

So were the improvements suggested by your adviser a no go?

The improvements suggested by my advisor are what led me to Part 4 of the Magnus Engine. He sometimes does things in a subtle, roundabout way to test me; in this case, he was gently nudging me toward the solution to completing the Magnus Engine, but wanted me to find it on my own without being told how to do it. So yes... they made it in in the form of ME Part 4, which affects not just the USLM4 script, but the whole script.

Yup. It was THREE part. But now it has the fourth part.

It was in regards to one of the upgrades that is suppose to be about "choosing happiness" instead of something else (whether out of habit or another reason, etc). I was wondering does this take in account Long term Happiness vs Short term Happiness? I know another reason why lots of people get no where in life is because they aren't able to defer instant gratification for long term gratification. A person for example will keep on playing a video game to get instant gratification (and that short term dopamine hit) than say working on their studies to further their career which would actually make them happy in the long term.

I did see you put in something about developing and improving patience. So you might have already thought of this but I thought I would ask just for clarification if you took this all into account.

Sure.

I am expecting to have LTU5 finished being built on Monday and released Monday or Tuesday (today being Sunday, for those of you in the future reading a necropost right now). Then extracting E3 should not really be a very difficult thing to do, as it's just turning off script and rebuilding. Even with ridiculous delays (which I hope we don't have to deal with), that should be plenty of time.

Keep in mind, Part 3 has not been added. It is so complex that I haven't found a way to include it without making the script vastly more long and complex than I can find a way to do at this point. That is why I completed the Magnus Engine with Part 4, which is (by comparative) a work of art in it's simplicity and configurability, and even more powerful than Part 3.

So does this mean dmsi 3.4 is in the near future?

Remember that it is one component, and I can adjust how powerful it is. The goal is of course the optimal level of power, not too much and not too little.

Once all that is done and we have some feedback on the current DMSI, FRM and Magnus Engine, I can look at making the next version of DMSI. The next version will be either 3.3.2 or 3.4 based on how things turn out in a number of directions. Right now I'm thinking it is more likely to be 3.3.2, but we shall see.
