Thanks for info. Any idea on closeness to alpha?

lol, what do you mean?

as long as he does'nt search for multiple occurance of teh, i should be alright.

lol

I don't know if i was allowed to do it actually.

/me waits for the sharp unmistakeable sting of blitz's nauhty boys whip.

I figured I was vauge enough and used enough bad spelling and grammaticle errors to disguise it amongst teh rest of teh forum goers. as long as he does'nt search for multiple occurance of teh, i should be alright.

(I'm using a laptop right now.)

Aye.  not many mods will put a complete rundown on their status up for all to see like that.  And if you want even more up-to-the-minute updates we constantly talk about our work and chat openly quite often in our IRC channel of #first-strike on irc.quakenet.org

He's not kidding guys, there's a lot of IRC exclusive content and the behind-the-scenes stuff going on.  Well worth a visit.

When the game is released, everything is going to be near immaculate.  The devs aren't going to pull a GC onemapper mod, to the best of my knowledge.  Trust me, there is more going on than you can ever imagine.  This mod is going to be worth the wait, Preacher's explanation was just the gist of it.

So the first release will be super hugeness with multiple maps?
(The first GC release only had Hoth right?)

Some of our bigger weapons like the proton torpedo launcher  are due to go in soon, as teh animations are done and we have something to shoot besides standard 2142 vehicles (AT-ST)

The AT-ST is walking in-game, but requires further tweaks to the animation weapons and sound /code. But we've already had a blast with the current version.

We have Tie bomber, interceptor and Tie fighter in-game., although their undergoing a recode, and none of our vehicles have entered play testing yet. The weapons have, but the vehicles are merely in-game and not being play tested for balances/ suggestions yet

Map wise, we have endor and hoth Well underway. Neither are ready for playtesting just yet, endor has like 90% of it's statics complete, the base Trees are ingame (but not final yet)., and is undergoing a re-design based off of previous BF2 feedback.

We have more gadgety type weapons to get in-game such as teh E-web and MkII gun.

We also have the Ptower and ant Vehicle tower from Hoth animated and ready for in-game.

I myself have beun the arduous (SP?) task of creating the Deathstar Trench run, unfortunatly I have not been able to continue it for the last week, but I was makeing good progress model wise, since before this last week.

And erm, We are plugging away sound codeing and FX wise aswell.

So we have alot in-game, and a lot Ready to be in-game within a short amount of time.

the most major thing we don't have yet is a map (made much more difficult due to teh lack of an editor as we have to make it in bf2 editor and go through lengthy (often bug creating) conversion process.

But I want to hear whats ingame, getting tested and all those kind of things. We non-team members don't know half a thing about how far stuff is like space combat, maps, all those things. You don't say many things about WIP and stuff, I'm dying to see what's going on behind the scenes of the masterful things you are making.

So please, oh gurus of BF2142 modding, tell us how far you are with having stuff ingame, how your plans for space combat are and why you're all so freaking awesome
