I'm starting this thread as kind of a "Blog" if you will, to see what our GRiP Guru is working on  Perhaps Hunter you can provide insight into the current issues you're dealing with, solutions you found, or just to say... "it's still coming along".
The programmer/tinkerer in all of us would probably enjoy the insight 
I'll start by asking... others mentioned some issues with the current GRiP, like the Traveller suite, mapping errors and the Game scheduler. Are you going to address some of this or are we headed straight to GRiP 4. There's a few small things that would work wonders, but we realize that "4" is the goal.
No worries either way... just asking

Working on v4 honestly. It's been long enough since I've worked with the code on v3 that it would take me a while to get back up to speed enough to troubleshoot down any major issues.

Will anything significant be done to the iGM module? Emryys had a superb idea concerning tree sturctures.

Yes on iGM. Look if you have suggestions for damn near anything right now let me know. This is the best time to do it as the code and designs are really raw and still taking basic shape.

Have you done any testing regarding things over a network?

Only locally. Not far enough along for any real cross network testing. But the networking code isn't changing much, just the data it passes. |

Hey Hunter,
I have found that a GM Screen would be awesome. I started to build into monsters a GM Screen of sorts that would take care of "generic" GM-like things I wanted to send to the chat...keep track of rounds, etc.
Love to have something like that! |

Ditto...
I have used both an ENT and an ADZ as a game screen, each having better uses during different game aspects.
The ADZ is good for sending macros... I have an encounter with preset macros for roll requests like skills, one for combat roll requests, etc, then I have an NPC named "GM" which allows me to access the macros from the chat screen... If this type of action could be done from a menu or a GM screen it would be alot easier
I'd use the ENT screen when in "Combat" mode because you can't access the ADZ macros using the GM NPC... frustrating....
This would be a good feature especially if it could be customized for any system... maybe as part of the Adventure editor panel...

Difficult to say... I've e-mailed but haven't heard from Hunter...
I suspect he's dealing with day to day stuff like shipping Traveller product

I just got off the fone with hunter. He is HARD at work on the new grip.
OH my GHOD. you people are going to be BLOWN away by this.
I have a screen shot here, if i can figure out how to put it up, I will.
This screen shot shows individual character oriented lighting.
So, imagine that. EACH character can have his own light source.
The map can have it's own background level of light, from pitch black to perfect illumination.
Needless to say, this is very exciting.
Hunter and I will be doing some more testing soon.

I have had GRiP for many years, but I am not sure what version I am running. How can I tell what version? How can I get an upgrade if needed?
Thanks! |

iGM is currently at 3.1.79 and wants to be speaking to iPC version 3.1.63 for full functionality. I have placed copies of iPC (5 MB freeware) and iGM (7.5 MB shareware) online for those having difficulty finding them at QLI.
iPC and its upgrade can also be found at my FUMcon 2009 support site.
