Stainless Steel 7.0 Lost Files release this year

[CullyDC]

I can't be the only person who has been refreshing this thread essencially since its creation? The 7.0 Features seem like great concepts and had me interested.
Seemed like a lot of work at least got done to the economy scripts and god-like difficulty. I wouldn't mind if it was more of a 6.5 if some of the bigger features didn't make the cut.

Just hoping to hear some response eventually, big fan of the mod and all the hours of enjoyment it gave me. I'm sure a lot of people would be happy to playtest a version that was unstable or just needed some patchwork.
6.4 + Bugfix mod will always be around as the most stable version in my opinion.

Even as a belated buggy release 7.0 would still be great!

[EarthFlatter]

I guess that this thread went off as quick as it appeared?

[Reznikov]

[CharlesMarkley]

I just recently began playing again, and this got thread got my hopes up, and then dashed them when I realized there hasn't been any noticeable movement.

Hi, is there a beta version of SS7.0 that I could try? The features look awesome.

[tpojat]

Would be nice to just get files regardless of what state they are. Then at least some parts could be used or someone else could continue working on them

[youngfool]

Stainless Steel 7.0 please.

I believe Germanicu5 may have died as well during the Covid pandemic. It was 2020.
Let's hope that he is alive at least.

What a damn shame...

Was this ever continued? Is it possible that the files could be released in source format so perhaps the community could look to finish it as an unofficial submod?

[Dismounted Feudal Knight]

It's tragic, but people can come into a project genuinely meaning to do something and life events make it impossible to follow through. That may have happened here and we can only wish Germanicu5 the best. 2020 was a year of horrible disruption even if he didn't catch the bug himself. I'm sure he'll follow up, if he can.

Sooo... I've just released the 7.0 development files. Please read the included disclaimer. Will update 2nd post with more details of what still needs to be done. I hope we can organise a community effort to release it with all intended content.
I am not 100% sure how to do it technically, but I am certain this is just a minor thing. Volunteers welcome.

Regards

P.S. I used WinMerge to make a diff file between fresh 6.4 install and 7.0 dev files. The whole dev history is hosted on bitbucket. I played ca. 50 turns in both campaigns and hope it works just like that. My time for bugfixing and support is still limited. Plus some of my knowledge of the game has naturally deteriorated.
