Ok, I'm slowly "catching up" on reading these posts. In response to what
Ryan has said:

I understand the ModRex developers are working hard on getting ModRex
working (and functional). This is important.
What I'm saying is that the "community" needs at least a ModRex Alpha
release, so the grid owners can at least post a "ModRex Alpha Build" so that
content creators can begin working on developing ModRex content (and writing
documentation and tutorials).
*>That is not to say no one can make ModreX work where you want it to,

Exactly correct. I understand the "community" of developers need to step
up, and I guess if the resources are "limited" then I may have to take the
time to work on doing binary compiles. Just so others can at least use
them. (Just remind me offline, every 2-3 weeks to do a new compile). Just
so the Alpha Testers will at least have something to work with (just don't
cry to me if it's broken, or not stable).

Fine, I've compiled the Viewer, I'll work on compiling ModRex. I just have
a lot on my plate at the moment, but once I get a compile done, then I'll
ask for access to SourceForge, or at least ask for a place that I can upload
the binaries, and update the links so that I can post the latest Alpha
binaries so people can begin testing ModRex.
Nothing will get done this week, but I'll try to have something done by
Monday. I'll get cracking over the weekend, and if Ryan can get me some
access to an FTP site, or at least get me in contact with whoever is hosting
the RealXtend website/web page, and I'll work on posting/updating links, and
getting the latest ModRex binaries posted about every 2-3 weeks.
This would take a load off of RealXtend developers, but at the same time it
will get the RealXtend content developers (and users) working on using
RealXtend ModRex (which I believe is the KEY to moving this project
forward).
I understand a new Viewer is going to be another big step as well. I may
see if I can work with the Hippo crew, and see if I can at least get ModRex
functionality implemented into the latest release of Hippo, and maybe just
work on a new Hippo build myself (if I have to). Just so we will have some
ModRex functionality in the "Interim" while RealXtend developers are working
on a new "Rex-NG" Viewer.
This way the RealXtend crew can focus all their energy and efforts on
development, and at least the RealXtend community will have something to
work with in the Interim. I believe this would probably be the best
"logical step" forward.
I'll talk to Ryan about getting some FTP access, and maybe getting access to
the Downloads page on the RealXtend website, and I'll work on getting some
binaries compiled this week.
Thanks,
Mark
