Why isn't there any estimated date for when pendulums will be added to the site?

[107galaxytachyon]

Look, I read the statement regarding Pendulums, but it doesn't make this any less frustrating. Leaving only a plain guess as to when you'll plan to implement them would be enough for many. Hell, even mandatorily changing that date when it's not adequate would work, if only to make us think that there might be 'a time' we could look forward to. This may not be relevant to you, and I'll probably get banned again, but just remember: saying something "will get done" when "it's done" reeks of procrastination, and lacks any real sincerity.

You do know that we have several templates for making Pendulums if you are that impatient to get them over here.

 

http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/330737-zextra-pendulum-template-v3-includes-xyz/(If YCMaker does get his tail over here, this is what it'll be up)

Or as one member linked to, a general template for everything else; should you not want to use ours.

 

But yeah, YCMaker is essentially dead for all we know right now.

 

Should be noted that like most of the staff, he has things to attend to in higher education (from what his girlfriend appears to have told me via PM a few months ago); in this case, appears to be a Masters/Doctoral. I cannot really say for certain.

If we had access to the cardmaker AND knew what the hell we were doing, then sure we'd do it (assuming YCMaker didn't mind).

But as evil mentioned, we aren't touching it because of the above.

 

In other words, just use Zextra's template or the Written option until YCMaker actually gets over here + adds them.

First off, no one cares. Why? Because we can't do shit about it. The only one(s) who can edit the cardmaker are constantly AWOL. This is why the announcement is there.

 

It doesn't "lack sincerity", it's the best the moderation can do. They're not the admins, they can't fix it, so they're giving their condolences. There is NO estimate.

 

So how about not approaching this like a prick next time, when you're just showing your ass to people that can't control it?

Apparently the mods have no control over the YCM programming. The one who has that authority has been gone for ages. If/when the fearless leader returns, he'll probably add pendulums, but until then, no one can even make a guess as to when they'll be added.

If you want an alternative that's pretty good, you might wanna look at this thread: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/329223-releaseyu-gi-oh-card-generator-application/?fromsearch=1

It's still being tested n' stuff, but you can make pendulums, tokens and even dark synchros!

[J-Max]

No offense but you sound like a Spoilt little child who can't have his candy. YCMaker is nowhere to be seen anymore. He comes like ever couple of Months and does nothing. The Pendulums will be here when they get here. For now, why not just post them in Written? Or use the suggested option?

 

Crying about it isn't going to change things.

As mentioned by the above, the reason it's left so vague is because we can't actually do anything about it. While I do have access to the coding, I have NO IDEA how the card maker's coding works beyond extremely minor aesthetic changes, and I'm personally opposed to uprooting someone else's coding, even though the Admin has been MIA for ages.

 

It's just as likely tampering with the code would break it completely, or that YCMaker, if he happens to sporadically show up and see that someone messed with his beloved coding, might flip out and remove all my power entirely. It's a very tentative risk/reward type of thing.

 

I'll reiterate that as a key point: The only one with the authority to mess with the coding is YCMaker himself, who is perpetually absent. Those with literal access (or the ability to get that access) don't have his permission to do so. Therefore, we don't touch it. The announcement exists to tell people we know a new card type exists, but we have no time frame to even attempt implementing it.

Also, even if we could do something about it, that would be illegal, as none of the mods have any actual legal claim to the website.
