Neowin doesn't wanna upgrade becuase of the mods they have for 3.2 :(

I do agree though. It's gotten much better. Also adds mobile mod controls and it's much faster as well.

They will probably upgrade sometime this year. But wait, there mods would stay where they are. IP. Board keeps everything the way it is when you upgrade to a new version. I've owned multiple forums and they were all running IP. Board and when I upgraded to the latest version, all my mods were still there.

Some hooks have issues, however my upgrades all have ran smoothly though.

Well, the latest IP. Board is 3.4.1. And I believe they released a security update not too long ago to fix a security issue. What's the latest version you guys are using now anyway?

Mine's been done patched for a while now and I also applied the editor patch as well.....

Most of our mods aren't (and can't be) done through hooks, we have to edit a lot of the source files for IP.Board itself (there's over 200 modifications we have to make) to provide the functionality we use here.

Why can't you do it with hooks??

A lot of what we do changes existing functionality, rather than extending it. Also, there aren't hook points at every location in the code where we need to do things. On top of that, hooks themselves are problematic on a multi-server setup without modifications to make them work.

We (~5m post since 2007) upgraded from 3.2.3 to 3.4.1 about a month ago and ever since then I get daily complaints about the rich text editor slicing link URLs, not encoding unicode characters properly, quote and code blocks not working properly, lack of button-based BBcode editor, etc etc

They've backported the 3.4.2 RTE fixes back to 3.4.1 but it's still not quite there. In hindsight, we probably should've waited too.

What ever happen to neowin creating its own forum script? i read you guys were going to do this a year or so ago?

Might be alot easier than redoing lines and pages of edits each time IPB is updated.

But then again it'd be hard to come up with something as nice as ipb.

Was codenamed IF, so IF was a big IF

Anyway 3.4 update along with more is coming soon. We're working on it.

    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size

      Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
