1.91 addons

[OxPecker]

Some addons are starting to come out requiring 1.91.
My question is this - since 1.91 is a beta addon, not everyone has it installed. I know myself and most of the guys I play with don't.
So does it annoy anyone else? Or is it OK - does 1.91 add features to addons not available in 1.90.

The main thing that 1.91 adds is a function called "getType Object". This is VERY useful for certain scripting jobs and it is unfortunate that BIS released the 1.91 patch as a Beta, then haven't followed it up with a non-beta version...it's been three months.

It has been great to have that new function, but annoying as hell to have the word Beta attached to it. I have delayed going 1.91 as long as possible, but I think before too long I will have to. Or I could patch up to 1.92.....BIS??

No, no and no. Unless 1.91 isn't a beta anymore it's a yes.

I'm with the Ox and the Duck on this one. I haven't installed 1.91, and won't until it is beyond beta stage.

1.91 is beta, right - but its not more beta than 1.90 and rather patches some bugs that were left in 1.90. I have not found any problems intriduced with 1.91 that haven't been already in the 1.90 patch.
The only problem I see, is that there's no server version - making it impossible to use the addons in multiplayer. Still better include the function now, as addons makers would need to update their addons later when they omit the function first (and some may never do it, having moved on to other projects by then).

And, it puts some pressure on BIS - if there's a huge demand for a new patch, they might just give out some information on when we can expect the new patch.

So I stay with the 1.90 for now

I know alot of people who have had frequent crashes with 1.91beta so I have not and will not install it... What does getType do that cannot be done with countType? does gettype return an array of all classes some object is in?

I don&#39;t like beta patches. Once I have installed 1.27 I suppose which was also beta. And then I wasn&#39;t able to install any other patch w/o reinstalling the game.

I had 1.26, 1.27, and 1.29, and all that happened to me was that the laser designator and LGB didn&#39;t work until Resistance was released, which fixed the problem

I&#39;ve not had one crash with 1.91, a beta by any other name is an operating system, or something
