Post by: bondr006 on March 02, 2005, 02:38:13 PM
Hi all,

I cannot seem to find the download link to the latest version, or any version for that matter. Could someone please direct me to it? Thanks in advance.

Peace,

I have to ask why? This does seem kind of ridiculous to me for a board that provides various types of support for a program to not allow you to talk about the program. This reminds me of the movie "The Village", "Those we don't speak of". ROTFLMAO

Where is the developer of the program or who has "rights" to it now?

Thanks,
Texman

 There was a long story of TodayPlus.  If you are intersting and willing to spend some time, there is a link to a thread on Brighthand at here (http://todayplus.jhollin1138.com/).  I hope you can find some answer you are looking for.  But it might not be the answer you hope for.  

 Just like you, I came cross to this program after the strom.  My best suggestion is to looking foward.   :wink:

Edit:  I just realized my 1000th post was about the departure of SRS... :roll:

Even better yet, have a look at this thread over at Brighthand (http://discussion.brighthand.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=101429).

OK. I looked through every post on every page. I saw a problem of immaturity on both sides.

So from all that I guess I can conclude that TD+ is not going to be in development at all beyond what is done here. I haven't started looking at TodaysXtra yet but am heading there now. Thanks for taking the time to point me in the right direction so I can get up to speed on why such a great program has no updates.

   Sorry to disappoint you again.  The TodaysXtra project is also being terminated.  :?  :(

ROTFLMAO. Well, on with the....ummmm...."Those we don't speak of" thing then. Is there ANY software that is actively being developed that offers "the whole package" like TodayPlus?

Thanks,
Texman

No, sorry but TodayPlus was the one and only "whole package" I know.

 If you find it, please let me know too...

 I would like to share with you my thoughts.  

 If you compare the TodayPlus today to it was 6 - 8 months ago, you will see a big difference.  With the efforts of the talent skinners (Wichtel, ZapMe1, Geezer, Timmy, Broesel, ripper, ..etc  sorry if I miss any), the level has been pushed to another level.  Certainly, we can not forget all the senior members to make the contribution before.   Yes, the reality is still the lack of support from the original developer, SRS.  How long the TodayPlus can go on is still questionable..  At least for me, I enyoying what I am doing right now and continue to explore the potential of TodayPlus.  The rest I only can see what it might lead to.  One day, TodayPlus will no longer can be run on the new OS and eventually go to the history.  On the other hand, maybe SRS will return and give us a new one....

 For the enthusiasm like me, always feel "isolated".  Everytime, a TodayPlus skin shot was posted on Brighthand, you will expect the hot criticism flying around.  The wonder job all these members done here and other place could not be recognized by the rest of the community.  Sad, indeed, but I don't think it stops any of these skinners.  Maybe I am fool or  stubborn, or even stupid but I am happy.. :wink:

Couple of things

1. I love the Hammerskin and have modified it a little (graphically) to match with a WisbarAdv skin I found. Don't quite know what I would do without the program now that I have found it. LOL

2. How many developers frequent this board? What is the possibility of starting a NEW project based on what everyone likes about Today+? SRS created a great program that has no comparison available. So:

Why not make something to compare it too?
Why not send out a call to any PPC program developers that would like to start an open source project?

You don't have to be a developer to develop a program. Any manager can develop a program by managing the coordination of the developers themselves.

Just a thought

Thanks,
Texman

That was the goal of TodayXtra.  :cry:

I feel with the talent that we currently have here on the forum, I don't think we are to far off of something being started here.  :think:

Nice one, Texman  :D

You could give it to the others in the "Variations of the Hammerskin" - Thread.

Thanks for the compliment  :lol:
I fully intend on it. :)

There are a few more graphical bugs I have to fix but will have it done in the next week or so, then post it.

@Texman, @uk_skinner, @jhollin1138 and @Broesel,

I'm feeling happy with the positive posts you wrote in this thread. There was a good 'future-talk' in the things you said. Very IMPORTANT! I think it's worth to quote some of your text:

"Is there ANY software that is actively being developed that offers "the whole package" like TodayPlus? No, sorry but TodayPlus was the one and only "whole package" I know.
If you compare the TodayPlus today to it was 6 - 8 months ago, you will see a big difference. With the efforts of the talent skinners, the level has been pushed to another level. Certainly, we can not forget all the senior members to make the contribution before. Yes, the reality is still the lack of support from the original developer, SRS. How long the TodayPlus can go on is still questionable. At least for me, I enyoying what I am doing right now and continue to explore the potential of TodayPlus. The rest I only can see what it might lead to. One day, TodayPlus will no longer can be run on the new OS and eventually go to the history. On the other hand, maybe SRS will return and give us a new one....

Nice spoken! Your most important items I made bold. Especially the text about the end of TodayPlus, when it does no longuer work together with the new operating systems. That will be within a few years...

But we are lucky to have two things:
•  We have a few very talented members on this and some other foreign TodayPlus boards!!!
•  The TodaysXtra board. I'm happy to tell you that this board still exists. It's no longuer an open source project because there was a lack of helpers, but Xt is working hard to create a new program. This morning he posted the last things he's working with. There's a little progress in the difficult stuff.

Our only chance to get a new program like TodayPlus, is working together. I try to be an example at this point: I work on the TodaysXtra board, I work on this board, I feel free to post things on Brighthand and so on. Why? Because skinning is a nice hobby, and we need each other. There must be no borders in our very nice, exciting and creative 'skinners-country'!!!

Remain thinking positive, and motivate members who have development talents. Motivate them to give the 'skinners-world' something that's worth to be a hobby for so many skinners!!! I don't forget the enormous group of people who became member on Eitels first TodayPlus-board... thousands, within a few month...

Let's make it possible, together, to have this nice hobby in the coming years, too!!!

Thank you all for the spoken words!

With best regards,
Timmy
