Topic: Let's hear the truth: How far are you from releasing?

Well, as with everyone else, I can't wait to play FS.
All the stuff you say just makes me drool even more. Fighters, walkers, stormtroopers, BF2142 is MADE for star wars mods!

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 wink

Re: Let's hear the truth: How far are you from releasing?

We have many weapons in-game and balance tested, Some are currently undergoing re-skins (as you saw with teh E-11 and Scout pistol) or remodelling, New scopes added. But teh base weapons are in and have been playtested for a few months now and are quite well balanced.

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.

Thanks for info. Any idea on closeness to alpha?

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?)
