Ah.  That will probably work well then.

Something tells me that R2 won't be relase before new year.
Tell me that I'm wrong.

You're wrong.

Not that I really think that, but you asked.

It won't there's been little progress since October and most of the staff went missing when the first HLP move occured. There's no way it'll be done in 2 weeks, maybe another 3 or 4 months if progress really picks up.

[Woomeister]

Well Sid wants to redo some major parts of the story so that'll take a while, he also wants to change the design for the end of the EA war which is supposed to require new stuff.

Some mods need to be rebalanced, Shivan beams need redoing.
Lots of bug fixes needed.
Models wise the new Gigas model is now ready  so only HTL addons will be done at a later date.

Approx mission status:

Mission 05    40% brugger
Mission 06    75%
Mission 07    75%
Mission 08    50%
Mission 09    95% Hippo
Mission 10    ??? Roy Fokker

Mission 14    20% Singh
Mission 15    0%  Phreak
Mission 16    ??? SadisticSid
Mission 17    ??? SadisticSid
Mission 18    90% Phreak

90%+ are final stage missions

[mr.WHO]

Only 18 missions? or it's a chapter 1?

[Woomeister]

chapter 1

[Murderous Species]

That give us the total of (and considering ????? as 0's)...

56.7%!!!!! 

It will take its while but it is far better than having nothing!
Be patient.


*In the time you took to read this, INF R2 got 3-7 seconds closer*

[Woomeister]

Some of those missions have been worked on, however I haven't received a draft version yet. Phreaks m15 for example is supposed to be nearing completion, but without a working copy a % can't be estimated.

Some of those other missions could probably be completed in a few hours if somebody was working on them.

Missions 1,3,9,12,13 and 18 are either complete or needing very minor edits, so they could be counted as 100% really, but I don't like calling something complete until I'm certain it actually is.

The actual % is probably 65%+

Even if the missions were complete now we still need to fix quite a few issues and then do extensive testing.

[Murderous Species]

Far better than my calculations; then we should expect R2 in May, June, more or less?

[phreak]

If you want a % for M15 its about 45% or so.  Each time i get a chance to work on it, i need to get a new modpack.  This is rather problematic since i'm only downloading at 17.6 Kbps

[Tyrian]

Quick question:

I know you said Inferno will use 3D shockwaves, but will they be DaBrain's 3D shockwaves?  If so, will they be blue or red?  I liked the blue ones more; they were more in line with the original FS2 ones.

And a fast spec check on my computer.

All it says on the case is "Shivan Computer Core."  Can I run Inferno with that? 

[Murderous Species]

If you want a % for M15 its about 45% or so.

Then, calculating again and still considering ????? as 0's:
61,7%

Red, DaBrain asked if we would use the red ones as the blue ones were supposed to be going into the media vps.


Phreak: I uploaded it at 12k and it took a few hours to do so.

[SadisticSid]

Phreak, the new modpacks aren't essential to mission building at all - in fact I make it my mission in life never to upgrade until Woo's just on the cusp of uploading the next one. There haven't been any (major) balance changes to the primary ships that I know of.

[Woomeister]

No but there's been several model fixes and improvements as well as lots of bug fixing in the tables. If you don't stay up to date with things like the ai_profiles.tbl then things start getting broken real fast. Also I can tell by looking at some screenshots if your modpack is out of date

Also if no-one has the latest packs then no-one is testing anything except me...which seems to be the case right now...

[Qwer]

First off i'm new to this forum so plz no offence if you don't like something.
Now few questions:
1. How long is Gargant Hive?
2. How GTVA is supposed to beat shivans without destroying nodes or gaining help from Ancients?

[Woomeister]

1. 37814m
2. The Ancients can't beat the Shivans, neither can the GTVA.

[Qwer]

Hmmm...i meant "beat" as "avoid destruction".

[Woomeister]

You'll find out when you reach the end of the mod
