Very nice on the RHW-10 transition.  It is going to be nice to finally be able to cross over RHW-10's without having to downgrade to a RHW-6 at interchanges

I just randomly noticed this again:

Some preliminary results from my experimentation with this:



That entailed creating two circles and splicing them together.

Any thoughts on turning the texture into a puzzle piece? With no FA or WR options 8S could definitely benefit from a bit of flexibility 

[SimSome]

Oh gosh. I've been a lurker for so long. I keep loosing my accounts though but I've always needed to make new ones to get to the mods. I have been incubating an idea for a MD for a while. But the NAM overhaul seemed like something I should wait for. It went by so many names, I was worried it was too large a project and may take a long time. And I totally get that volunteers should not have to deal with deadlines but it still ate me up inside.

Then SC13 was announced and at first I was sooooo excited. But then I realized that even if glass box is all that it is said to be, it would take a while for SC13 to get modded up with the flexibility and cosmetics that I would want. That is when I feared that the SC4 modding community might die out and move over to SC13. What then should happen to SC4? And NAM 31?

I'm so glad that this looks like it'll come out soon. But I hope most of all that this is a sign from devs like the NAM  team that SC4 modding will be alive and kicking even after SC13 is released. Cos NAM 31 introduces a revamped system. And you don't put effort into a whole new system unless you think it'll be worth it in the long run. And for that there has to be a long run outlook. And for that I am glad!

Thank you NAM team for all your past work. But most of all thank you for your future work!

[FrankU]

Well, as far as I am concerned the run will be veeeeery veeeeery veeeeery long!

[vinlabsc3k]

'tis a mystery

[noahclem]

Wow, that's pretty 

[jdenm8]

If that's a bit hard to get the jist of, there's this.

[Gugu3]

Is the MHW revamp project finished??

[MandelSoft]

Kind of, but it will have to wait for the next NAM release. It's in pretty good shape now...



Anyway, who can guess what all these icons represent?



(tip: they are all NAM components)

Best,
Maarten

[Girafe]

They look awesome. Could we expect a "better" architecture of NAM tools under the menus of the game which are a little bit crowded?

[sunv123]
