Time frame for the built in HUD?

[omaha]

Any ideas on when the built in hud will be added?

A week or two, a month or two?

I assume it will be in alpha prior to the commercial release ? (i assume that the commercial release will have the hud included?)

Sorry if i sound impatient!

This is what Josh said in his post announcing the Beta 6 release:
[quotevz7]If this beta doesn't have any major problems, the next beta should have the initial (rough) version of the HUD. Please do not be expecting a fully featured HUD. We're sticking with our "build a solid foundation" philosophy. The initial HUD release will be just the basics, and once that gets stabilized, we'll be adding more features quickly.[/quotevz7]

That was about 2.5 weeks ago, so I'm expecting the next beta fairly soon.

The Hud isn't ready for public use. Personally, I'm a little tired of hearing people complain because PT3 doesn't do this or it doesn't do that. We know what features PT3 are missing and plan to add them. Some people just don't understand the concept of "beta software" and expect a fully functioning and debugged application. So I've decided to re-release Beta 6 with an extended expiration date and work on making the Hud a little more feature complete before releasing it into beta.

Clueless people complaining about missing features and lack of stability is the price you pay for free labor, I guess. :D

I think the level of interest is a healthy sign, although I can see it getting tiresome especially after some delays in the release schedule. You keep working on that code and we'll keep testing it!

silly people complaining about FREE software (for now) that helps you make money. interesting. I'm waiting for the HUD as well, but in the mean time refer to AHK hud (which i'm still trying to figure out how to work)

I appreciate the effort you guys are putting in, but I think you are misjudging the anticipation as complaints. People get anxious and especially when expectations get set (timelines from previous betas) even if they are meant as good faith estimates and not hard dates, peoples' curiosity gets the best of them. I think it's more similar to kids anxious for christmas morning than it is spoiled brats demanding more. I know that's been the case for me.

Trying to be patient,
Anthony

I'am in no hurry, rather see them take there time. So it gets release early and problems everybody jumps all over it because it will not work like it should.
Keep up the good work Guys. Still working my way through PT3.

OOps, i didnt mean to let the fox loose in the henhouse!

Seriously, i was only wondering when it would be added as a matter of interest. Yes, i know it will be ready when it is ready, and my question was meant to be one of information gathering, as opposed to whinging. Yes, as another poster wrote, its the anticipation. Will my old pt2 db i was not able to use pahud because of the size of the db, whereas i should be able to do it with pt3, and a much bigger db!

Sorry if my post came off as being directed towards you. That wasn't my intention. I know most of you understand this is beta software. I was talking about the smaller group of people who don't seem to grasp that concept.

No offense taken! I know you are all working vvvvvv hard behind the scenes!
