Do any devs want to fix/maintain Phantom-X?
-
Phantom-X has been a part of FAF for many years and has many fans, but development for it seems to have been forgotten about or something. I saw this thread and this other one and was wondering why those threads and such a large bug were seemingly ignored. Then, I checked the FAForever/faf-phantomx Github and realized that Phantom seems to lack an active maintainer. So, I figured I'd increase awareness of this and ask; is there anyone capable who wants to fix and maintain Phantom-X?

I'll throw in advanced Github permissions for future maintainers.

@penguin_ learn lua and be the change you want to see
-
@femboy I've already done a decent bit of lua for FAF
I may eventually look into fixing Phantom-X, but I have other things on my plate these days. Hopefully someone will volunteer
-
I won't commit to maintaining it, but if no-one volunteers in the near future I might have a brief look both to see if it's an easy fix, and if my AI is compatible with it. However my experience of Phantom is a grand total of watching 1 cast and part of 1 replay.

@maudlin27 it is likely related to this:
We completely re-implemented how the game state was computed to fix the infamous draw bug. In particular
lua/sim/MatchState.luaA work of art is never finished, merely abandoned
-
Ill try to fix it tonight, if i cant figure it out ill give up and maudlin do it.
-
@jip it seems like phantom does its own thing for full share vs no share so maybe something in that is outdated. Ill look through it when i have a free period.
-
Just made a PR that should fix the issue. Just waiting on getting it merged/made a maintainer.

I, for one appreciate the effort, folx.
"Learn Lua and be the change" is something you've almost tempted this zero-experience old-guy to try, but now is not the time in my life where I have the time, so thank you to those of you that do. Best I can do at this point is try to isolate things we find in our games and bring them up to smarter people.

@SpikeyNoob I can look at it tomorrow, can you share the link here?
-
Whoops, thought i already linked https://github.com/FAForever/faf-phantomx/pull/29
-
I have uploaded phantom as a sim mod on the vault, the death issue is fixed in this version. Please let me know if anyone has issues. Also now u can play nomads and phantom!

Can't wait to try it. Thanks for your time folx!
