[CF-Devel] Iso CF start phase

[dnh]

Hmm yeah I somewhat agree with AV here. Firstly Mich does spend alot of
time working on these projects and while we may not ALL agree with
everything. I think we all share a responsebility to assist and help other
members. 

In regards to the world map, I to agree with #2 for pretty much the same
reasons as AV. I really wanna see this premap loading stuff Mark >=).
While on the topic I always like the idea of random wandering monsters
around the world map.. what do you think... ?

In regards to splitting, crossfire is always splitting and reforming. We
split of the image libs, we split over ISO and it certainly doesn't
surprise me that we might differ over many many things to come. That is a
good thing. If everyone just agreed with everything the quality would
probably drop. People have to prove their ideas, not just say em. I will
put in that Mich has certainly shown us a thing or too and Mark doesn't
cease to amaze me with new lighting and client features.

ps. Mark.. njh's is getting somewhere with this binary tree based fog of
war stuff.

I don't invisage crossfire every going to the extremes of Angband though,
and it would certainly be a sad day if it did. Keep up the good work guys

      Look, he didn't demand a freeze, he just politely asked to wait one single

      I just wanted to say that I am very excited about the work Michael is

      On the other hand, of course, I am also very grateful for the incredible

      The CF project can only rise and shine as long as the dev-team is a team ;-)
