As It's in standalone.

Thanks mate! Planning to see about that vertex map issue with voronoi? thanks again

It's not an easy fix. Voronoi is virtually generating a lot of sub objects with many tags. It requires a lot of extra programming and special handling on my side.

Apologies but is that a yes ?
Been waiting for offline mode to be reintroduced & I'd be super happy if it's happened.

OK, just looked up the standalone thread and still no offline mode!!
So I'm a paying customer and when I used the demo of Octane before purchase it worked offline. Great, I'll buy it and I can keep updating & everything will be fine I thought. Now this & I keep being told that the next release will be sorted yet no joy. How about a bit more info rather than being told ' it will be fixed by the next release / we are working hard to fix this, blah, blah......'
I'm in the unfortunate situation where my location has rubbish internet so I can't rely on anything that requires constant connection. Please, please, please fix this and communicate with an actual deadline / fix date for this please.
Not wanting to throw stuff around but Redshift works fine offline, just saying.......

It would be much better to be more polite. Because it's not related with plugins and I'm a plugin developer. Could you please apply to standalone topics?

If you'd been in the room with me and heard the language coming out of my potty mouth. This is me being polite at the moment.
I do appreciate all the hard work you put in to the plugin dev & having to reply to people like myself must be exhausting & for that I apologies. No apologies to whomever decided to cutout offline mode though. Not the best decision IMO!
Hope you understand that I need to vent my frustration with this situation, really want to be able to use 3.08 and above....
