Will TVT 2.0 be able to support hex codes for colors?

That has nothing to do with the 2.0 proposal; it's more of a markup change, which is something we should request separately.

With the new organized system of tropes, would it be possible to have a trope connect between multiple works? For example, if Work A had an expy of a character from Work B, would it be possible to see it on the pages for both works?

Since the relationship is uneven (Work A is In-Universe; Work B is external Trivia), the particular relationship between the two would have to be set. We already have kind of relationship between Shout-Out and Referenced by... but on a massively inefficient and underused level.

I think it would be interesting to check the trivia for a work and see how it inspired other works.

I don't see why it would not be possible. It's more a question of resources to support the relationship.

Speaking of how massively underutilized Referenced by... is... Expy is on the Shout Out Index, so the example can be copied over to a Referenced by... entry.

[up][up] The devs are working through the bug reports now and will give us an update soon.

On when bugfixes will be deployed for testing, and/or when the new site can go live.

I am not a mod, but please, stop being impatient. It will be done when it will be done. Someday. You can still enjoy this version of TVT while you wait.

Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)

What I want is an idea of when it'll go live, whenever that is.

The update will occur at some future date. The moderators will tell us that date somewhat earlier. The developers will tell the moderators that date soon.

Most likely, the developers don't have an estimate yet.

I'd assume that, in 2.0, what with works and tropes being structured database objects, we'll be able to have perfectly accurate counts on how many works use a certain trope and how many tropes a certain work uses.

They way we check it now is by checking how many wicks the work or trope page has, which is close but not quite accurate. I still (currently) use it though.

I think more professionalism and accuracy is definitely the way forward. And if people miss the fun of doing it by hand, I'm sure we will find a new thing to keep them occupied. grin

On another note, what is the progress status of the 2.0 project?

I sure hope the developers have some sort of deadline, even a self imposed one. "Sometime in the future" is NEVER a good idea for a project.

I'd like to know, too. The 2.0 page hasn't had anything new be added to it since 2016 April. This means that to us regular users, it looks like nothing has happened in two years while the update still hasn't started development.

Maybe I just don't know how much work is going on here, but I find it hard to believe this would happen unless there are some problems causing big delays.
