Castillo Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Great! I'll be there if possible. Link to comment
diegofkda Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) Dang, 1.1 released some few months ago, it's not fixed at all and already a 1.2 betatest? lul (just joking btw). Also, for me, 1.2 must have another good GUI, why not? . I'll be there if possible. Edited November 29, 2011 by Guest Link to comment

diegofkda Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 MTA:SA 1.2 brings the following: Stability improvements Custom weapon stats Vehicle variants Bandwidth improvements Database improvements These need to be tested to evade major problems after the improvements and new features, look into 1.1, there seemed to be no issue and it finished being a trash for some users (for me it's a brilliant project).

Oz. Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Is anyone able to explain why 1.2's released is considered to be 'drawing closer', when according to the roadmap it is only 11% complete? Even 1.1.2's completion is just 51%, far from complete, assuming the roadmap is accurate. Why is this being pushed through so quickly? There are plenty of important features intended for 1.2 which are still incomplete (some of which were originally intended for 1.0 and 1.1), and some issues for 1.1.x which are unresolved, according to the roadmap. This seems a bit rushed, and really doesn't appear to contain the same quantity & quality of additions as previous MTA releases did. Why not give it the development time it deserves? Link to comment

Thanks for pointing that out. We will reduce the roadmap requirements ASAP. Link to comment
The_GTA Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I hope you guys do not rush the release of 1.2 Link to comment
Arran Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 More complete list: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Changes_in_1.2 Roadmap still needs a serious update, its at 15%, just move everything to 1.3 Link to comment

This seems a bit rushed, and really doesn't appear to contain the same quantity & quality of additions as previous MTA releases did. Why not give it the development time it deserves? It's partly due to significant changes being in place, and the large number of features that were simultaneously packaged with 1.1 meant that months were spent fixing them till 1.1 was considered fully stable. Unlike 1.0, we no longer have a strong QA infrastructure to ensure a perfect stability of the mod - so longer development time means a longer amount of time something goes untested. If you leave it longer and introduce more fixes and features, you can get steam blowing out of holes in all directions. We're trying to opt for a faster release cycle where new features can be delivered quickly without having a major impact on stability. Nevertheless, you raise a valid point and we should work on trying to make our intentions for the next couple of releases more conspicious. Link to comment
AGENT_STEELMEAT Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Is 1.1.2 being skipped in favor of 1.2? Link to comment

LooooP Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 [...]longer development time means a longer amount of time something goes untested.[...] So I my opinion you should instead of releasing a new version every 6 months you would make more public tests before call it stable Link to comment
ThaD4N13L Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Its good 1.2 the Databse improvement is good like on RP Servers when I restarted the veh system it just loaded the vehicle auto on 1.1 it took a bit of time and scripts run faster on 1.2 go MTA 1.2 Link to comment
