ya thats what i was told. so im gonna be compiling with 225 again. i was hoping 227 would solve some compiling issues i have been having but with no success. that is one problem id like to discuss with you or whomever. maybe shed some light on the subject. that is one that id prefer be discussed in real time on msn or something though.A few side-notes here:
If you want a mod to be compatible with all versions, DON'T use 227 to compile. Due the enhancements and fixes in 227 its possible older clients can't run it anymore even although you maybe didn't add specific 227 content.
Only use 227 if you want to use 227 stuff, like emitters, footstepsounds, decals etc etc etc (details in the 227 forum or in the wiki). I'm sure you will find tons of new things you like.
227 was buit with 2 major objections:
1. Fix bugs while keeping 227 maximum compatible to older servers and mods (and I think we almost reached 100% here now).
2. Add new things and finished unfinished things (like quadshot f.e.) without breaking rule 1.
So if you want to build now aura in 227 or not is maybe no easy decision.
I personally see not much reason for anyone not to update to 227 in the moment 227f is out. It contains both old and new renderers, it contains both old and new sounddevices (Galaxy and OpenAL, FMod) and the overall performance is way higher too, especially on old machines. Nobody should miss something and instead getting a lot of more (And yes, UPak for UGold is coming very soon after that too).
But in the end there will be always some people who don't want to, who dislike or distrust it for whatever reason.
This question is the same for any modder in the future: all versions or using 227's advantages.
perhaps there is a max limit of lines or characters a single uc file can contain before ucc becomes unstable? some of my uc files contain more than 3000 lines of code (auramutator) and thats basicly the only reason i can think of.
but ya... till i can get past that problem i wont be able to fully repair/finish some of the mods if any.
