HLC Update Future

[wdmartin]

I wish there was some mechanism for the community to do bug fixes for HLC. The user base has a lot of accumulated experience that could be put to use.

I spent a lot of time with one person in LW support (I don't recall his name without checking my mail logs) who was my point person for bug fixes and the like on iOS. I was in the beta test program for that version of the code. (It's still my preferred version, as the UI is sooo much nicer and more consistent than the desktop version.)

I've often wondered about decompiling the .hl files to see if they could be turned into something equivalent to the .user files created by the community. I've done such things in the past with various applications (mostly games), but that was 30 years ago and I don't have the same motivation — or curiosity — that I had back then!

I see that a bug was reported for PF1 and it was fixed for HLO but not for HLC.

I could be wrong, but suspect that I'm not... I think the current version of HL Classic is the final version.

The guy who was doing Spheres stuff after TheIronGolem moved on hasn't been online in a year or more (at least here) and messaging Adam on their latest kickstarter, he said he had not been in contact with that person in the same timespan.
So I'm not hopeful that Spheres of Guile gets added to HL Classic, as nice as it would be.

Adam did say that they want to do a PF2 version of Spheres at some point, but he didn't have an idea on when.

The annoying thing about HLO is that I need an internet connection to use it and that the search engine blows.
It just namesearches and nothing else, no descriptions or alignments, no pluses or anything.

I just realised that they never gave the Reaper Mystery his Final Revelation.

Does it have one, on the HLO version of Pathfinder 1e?

3 months and no response from Lone Wolf. I guess it is too much to expect a response.

Their entire focus is purely on HLO

Maybe true, but how long does it take to write a response to confirm HLC is end-of-life and no further updates will be released? :-|
