Topic: Here's what i want.....

Some glimpse of hope, screenshots can no longer quench my thirst for this mod,  I've lost the spark of exitement this mod promised.  Each week as March has passed, I have been becoming less and less interested in this mod.  If you haven't noticed, I haven't been very active lately on these forums, the reason is is that we keep getting small, unsatisfying tastes of this scrumptious mod and it is aggravating me that we have no projection on when we get the whole feast.  Updates are great, but they are limited and greatly spaced.  Is there any hope of this mod coming out before summer ends?? Honestly, we used to think it was coming out in March, and now this mod is so far behind that there is no  concievable date to rely on.  Sorry to be so impatient, but I think we've waited long enough to hear  a relative date to which this mod comes out.  Flamers, bring on the fire,

Re: Here's what i want.....

The thing is Aquila probably didnt quite comprehend the amount of work that had to be done when he mentioned a target of March .... by no means was March set in stone.

If I say to you itl be ready in 3 weeks , then 3 weeks pass without the mod ..your further disapointed.

Its hard to say when itll be ready ....all i can say is its really startin to pick up steam ... Endor is getting closer and closer each day.

The long waits between updates means only 1 thing ...we are too busy working on the mod to make them . Personally Id prefer that, and i think most 'fans' would.

PS. I said 3 weeks as an example . Please dont any1 assume its in anyway connected to a release date.

Re: Here's what i want.....

I don't know what you are expecting to see Fuzz, but there isn't going to be anything for a while yet. If you want videos I would have said its no more tha 2 or 3 weeks tops. But we hit a major snag yesterday in my opinion the biggest yet. I don't think I'm aloud to or should comment on it yet but It has really thrown a spanner in the works. It wont prevent us from continueing, but it will at the very least push the release back indefinately.

  Another problem is we are still pumping out stuff but it is mainly in the way of static objects and foliage not too, exciting for the fans. I'll campaign on the dev forums for another update soon but don't sepecluate on anything to amazingly exciting.

Also on a side note AQUILA is back after his exams/projects etc. So expect to see some more great models from the boss man.

On a Second side note if you want the mod to go faster (or more to the point get your hands on it sooner) please help us find texturers and coders. We are in desperrate need of both, Rams have returned to the dark side to help skin but we still need more texture artists/unwrappers. When you have approximatly ten moddelers, they pump out far more work than can be textured by three texture artists. The same goes for coding. If any one can Texture or Code PLEASE, PLEASE apply. It doesn't matter if your knowlede is basic, every bit helps and as Ive found the team is an excellent learning enviroment, so if anyone can import even simple weapons/vehicles/players (not statics) we, need you.

Re: Here's what i want.....

unco got it very well summed up. We've been working our asses of since january but things come up that stops the development, or we have to go back and redo etc. Still I've been here almost 24/7 since I joined up and most other devs are like that too (FS-oholics). The work in this particular mod is WAY beyond the scope of all the "let's redo bf2 but do it better" modern era mods, please keep that in mind.

Don't give up on us just yet! wink

Re: Here's what i want.....

sorry to disappoint ya fuzz.

Yes i did set that date. i have appologised repeatedly. what i dont think you understand is how much work there is involved

to cut it short

ALL HUDS REPLACED
EVERY WEAPON IS MADE TEXTURED ANIMATED CODED TESTED
EVERY VEHICLE IS MADE TEXTURED ANIMATED CODED TESTED
EVERY STATIC IS MADE TEXTURED CODED
EVERY CHARACTER IS ^^^^^^
EVERY MAP IS DESIGNED TO LORE AND FUN

now in 7 months we have done SO SO much! and we are all relitively new to modding! we have come along way.

im sorry we are not performing to your standards. we have alot done and alot to do!

sorry to sound a little rude above but the scope of it all is so large to comprehend imo..

ps.cheers Unco big_smile

Re: Here's what i want.....

^^^^^Wow AQUILA a lot has been done. From what I saw from the updates and the sites I thought that this was still in its basic stages. I wish that I could help with the mod, but I have no experience what so ever in modding a game. I would like to help in any way so if anyone could point me in the right direction (program I would need) I could try and learn how to texture. School has just ended for me and I have a lot of free time.
