Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
hrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrngh so nervous

All I can think about is stuff we could have done to improve things further. Worryworryworryworry.
you'll get feedback once people go through it. if its anything like AoA, everyone will be pleased, if not, it can go either up or down.


also curse you for not making a unified download. i always hated these chipped up dl's that seem so popular to people.

Unifieds are coming, but as the recent patch shows there's advantages to splitting it up.
Like what? Patching all up when update time nears?

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Here's my genuine review of the campaign  :nervous:

Spoiler:
Too much text! We did everything we could to make it flow well, including dialogue skips and checkpoints, but ultimately this campaign is written as if it's voice acted and it's not. Flow may be damaged by the probable need to either constantly check the message box or to go back and look through logs after combat.

This campaign really needs some voice acting.

Mixed bag. We did last-minute crash debugging on TTS. It'll work on all messages from fighters. Unfortunately it will ignore messages from capships and any messages using special alarm sounds ironically designed to grab player attention during battle.

We're working on a code-side fix for this problem.

YEEEEAAAAH!

I hope that in general, people agree that this campaign is good enough to merit spam posts such as this one.

Yohey. I recall downloading something like blueplanet-3612 not that far ago, which was a version of AoA director's cut including as well stuff like gliding and improved AI. It was however requiring a non-stable .12 build (that was several months ago).
Will that version still work with the new AoA (i'm redownloading it atm) ? And will it work with WiH too ?

Please see the instructions in the AoA release topic (which basically say 'delete it, it don't work no more'.)

Make sure you have the AoA patch released yesterday.

Please refer to the actual release topic of the 3.6.12 Feature Pack.
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=68214.msg1399077#msg1399077

In short, it is unsupported, won't work with WiH and you should delete it.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
myeah i'm idiot, i noticed the other post right after sending that one message ._.
Thanks anyway. I'll install it and come back to comment/whine once i get it to work D:
Question by the way, are the AI/Balance/Glide features from the Feature Pack included in another form into the new AoA or WiH ? I recall playing with gliding AI was quite fun o.o

Maybe i should stop finishing every sentence with a smiley, by the way  :blah:

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
For AoA there won't be officially supported method to enable advanced AI, in WiH it is used everywhere. Glide is not used in WiH. And no, there will not be anything like 3.6.12 Feature Pack coming for WiH. Not from me at the very least.

It could be fun to build a version of the glide feature pack extended to WiH, but it's not a team priority at the moment.

That's so piss easy to do that it's not even funny. But I don't really want to, those optional downloads always cause trouble later down in the road. Right now I wish I hadn't done the Feature Pack for AoA.
