Re: Is That a Fresh News Post I Spy?

Good thinking there MK, was actually considering that a little myself as I was looking over some of the screenshots. I'm not really an expert on the coding/editor side of things, but I'd like to see us able position the cruisers on different levels to make the space battlefield more 3 dimensional. Will have to look into the space editor and see if we're able to do that. With regards to the paths the cruisers currently take I believe they just fly straight to the waypoint that they're assigned to.

Question: Do they fly only straight or do they have some vertical movement?  If this isn't possible for the AI, would it be better to have some of the spaceships start on different levels to make it less horizontal?

No MK, they fly straight due to limitations with the control method we've had to employ. We could force the ships to fly at different levels, thats not a problem at all. The issue is that the bots themselves flying the fighters tend to stay within a certain height range. This means that we are forced to keep the battle within this small margin, or else the bots wouldn't attack the cap ships and it would become a less interesting game.

Bear in mind as well though, this isn't a new map, this is just a method we are employing to be able to add Taloraan to our list of SP/Co-Op maps. As with our other SP and Co-Op maps, sometimes compromises have to be made in order to keep some of the feel of the MP games while still being able to provide some Star Wars style battle scenes.

It is still very much early days, and we are constantly looking at ways to improve this particular map, as success here would provide us with new methods to add extra functionality to future maps, or add new effects to existing ones.

Re: Is That a Fresh News Post I Spy?

It's been about two months since the last Update. 
It is a pity that the only regular news are the spams in the comments on the mainpage.
With such a PR style any Mod will die sooner or later, maybe it is already buried and the dev team left, dunno. I really loved this Mod, its superior quality and gameplay. Played a lot nice coop.
But i am still waiting for the "the really close" update including Hoth announced in Dec 2011. Maybe you should finish a final and then you could quit with proud.

Re: Is That a Fresh News Post I Spy?

Hi there Django,  I hear you, but we have been short staffed, and this year has been such a busy one for us all, that progress on the mod has been slow. That said we are still dedicated to getting the next big update out, will just take a little longer than we had at first anticipated. We should have a good development related news update soon.
