Extension list updates.

[Fanotherpg]

I've got here official enquiry about extensions.

I was asked by one of Clickteam members not to Publish details about extensions which are 'compatible' with current runtimes which are under development - as meant iOS and Android.

So at the same time I've got blocked development of my extension list which I'm trying to keep up-to-dated for myself. And I am looking for official CT position, with hope that previous one wasn't such one.

In my opinion such list (and only list of extensions, without giving away MFX files) is a good way of promotion of those exporters.

From one hand it lets Clickteam users to have a look that there is some progress (visible for them) from other, they are able to check compatibility with their current projects and attempt to make them compatible with runtimes, at least on extension level.

From other one when it comes to release of the exporters there is quite high chance that those people, thanks to sneak peak in the list (which is still confirmed several times by Clickteam staff at least for iOS as well as new funcionality in build 252) would be just one step from compiling their projects without any problems to those platforms because they stricted their extensions only to those which are compatible.

Also some of the users are PMing me here and there, when I will release updated version for iOS (because I screw current one) and it's compatibility with other runtimes, which is mainly purpose of this extension list.

Also I'm planning to develop one application during holidays (hopefully it will be presented on CC as well) which would make a good use from such list.

Are you asking if you should release a list of extensions for the runtimes after someone from Clickteam asked you not to?

[Fanotherpg]

Pretty much yes.

Because argumentation was that it should be left unveil as for a good of CT: "For info, any information posted in beta forums are private and must not be disclosed in public forums, even information that seems minor for you.".

And I totally agree to it and this is why I stop updating my list of extensions, but from other hand those information were unveiled to Public by you, so I'm just asking for clarification.

Can I continue development of extension list with information about Android and iPhone compatible extension (which I'm betatester) or not.

[Jeff]

You can continue to work on your list but you can't release the information out of the beta forums until you are given the OK by Clickteam.

Any information thats been posted in public posts by Clickteam people is perfectly fine to be re-communicated.

[Fanotherpg]

That's fine.

So just two little things to clarify

1) If I put on my extension list (for example) Active Backdrop and Android objects (which are ATM keep in private) but I won't mention them on the forums that they've been added - would it still be OK? Only people in posses of those extensions (or trying to read through the whole list inside INI file) would benefit from it.

2) Also can I create Android related groups for mentioned above reasons, or I would need to wait for any of CT staff members to confirm that those extensions are in Android runtime, to be able to create such groups?

[Jeff]

Your extension lists shouldn't have Android or XNA objects lists in it until that information is released by Clickteam.

[Fanotherpg]

And what about extensions?

Also if Exporter ones would be available only on approciative exporter forums would it be OK?

[Simon]

I would work on the assumption that if any part of an MMF exporter including runtime, objects, extensions, graphics libraries or whatever has not been posted out on the public forums that you should not mention it in anyway outside of the closed forum areas or private communications with Clickteam. Better safe than sorry eh!

[Fanotherpg]

This is why after I got that messeage I stopped deving it but after Jeff make some information public I got confuse. And this is why I put it on closed forums, rather than public ones.

Still I hope that if I will be doing two different versions official one, and for us as closed betatesters, it would be fair solution.
