*-No i did not read all the pages to this topic
*-Yes i did NOT finish R1 yet.. im working on it >)

I think voice acting would be great. Sofar iv only played 2 campaigns with VA. and it makes it so much funner. R1 is great, and i support you guys. Keep it up!
And tho you already know this, il just resay it: When voice acting sound interested (the actors) and enthusaistic. Cauze in one of the VA. Campaigns iv played 1\2 the people dont sound like.. well lets just say they were not 'into' it as much as they should be.

Yeah the one thing I hate more than no voice acting is bad voice acting. In those cases, I'd rather it be silent.

Hay does anyone know when R2 will be out for inferno, the website seems sigularly out of date and unhelpful?

Just been looking at the pics and it looks awsom but havent been arround for ages and seem to remember R2 was supposed to be coming out ages ago? what happened?

thanks

[Woomeister]

We switched to FS Open and so started again. If we were using FS2 retail, it would be done by now.

[IPAndrews]

So how is the FSOpen conversion going?

[Woomeister]

Really well. We have all but 1 mission of the first chapter in progress. We've fixed lots of little bugs, and I'm planning out the final release version of the files now. I'm going through over 6000 files to see what isn't needed anymore so it can be removed.

I'm expecting release a lot sooner than I originally thought. Though no official estimate will be given yet.

There's probably been more progress in the last few weeks than in the previous few months.

[IPAndrews]

Good stuff. It's almost certainly worth doing. TBP hasn't looked back since moving to FSO.

[Woomeister]

Yup mission progress has been great so far. It's 99.9% likely that it will be released this year.

[Woomeister]

I've built a prototype of the release build. Using maximum rar compression it's about 194mb. However I've only done about 1/3 of the ch1 cb anis. So they'll add more to the size.
However I plan on using an installer that can give better compression than Winrar so I'd estimate a final size of around 180-220mb.

[DeepSpace9er]

As long as its hosted in a good spot thats not that bad.

[Woomeister]

Well it'll be on fileplanet obviously, though I'm not sure what to do with the broken up version yet...

[T-Man]

Well good luck anyways, i'm always rooting for ya!

What about the .01%?

[Kie99]

Well there's a 0.007% Chance it'lll be released in 2006, 0.002% in 2007, and 0.0005% in 2008, and 0.0005% chance it won't ever be released and we'll keep it for ourselves.

The 0.1% includes stuff like

Hard drive failure
Virus
My house exploding
End of the World

and other random non planned things

Hard drive failure
Virus

I hope you have backup copies of the Inferno stuff so nothing is lost in case either of those happen.....

[Woomeister]

There's the out of date staff version, an older version on my main drive, and the current version on my other drive. There's also several versions of both on both drives in case some files get messed up.
Most of it is secure. More secure than when I nearly lost R1 when my last PC was fried by Lightning

[Woomeister]

You wouldn't be laughing if I had lost R1 because of it, as there was no other backup of the mod at that time, and so the entire thing would of been lost

[SuperCoolAl]

once bitten...

[Woomeister]

An installer version of the current files is 184mb, only 10mb less than max rar compression. So my earlier estimate of the final size looks about right so far.
