Re: Dante's Loader Imports. (Update: Dark Magician Girl)
Kona has implemented a number of features that were already present in the loader such as a second arm, dialogue sounds, costume/body mods etc.
Not because the loader had them, but because they were naturally what people wanted.
I flocked to his blog for ideas and that's what seemed to appear the most, he obviously implemented them too but to greater effect as it integrated nicer.
Not because the loader integrated badly, but because I don't like screwing with existing code.
It's normal that features overlap, it's nice to see them done officially or "properly" rather than hacky workarounds.
Then again, we stay hacky because we're playing by the constraints in place.
It's more satisfying to beat the limitations rather than remove them.
I should probably think about getting that AS3commons patch done to remove the private references at runtime, that'd be neat.
Or rather make a SWF based SWF patcher, one can dream.
Ah, back to your thread I suppose.
