I've talked with Pit and he seems able to do a mAAp update. A few of the maps really need it but I'm mostly wondering where Blue, Koden and Killaman are with the maps (if any) they're working on. I'm kinda done doing work for AA, at least for now but there's quite a few things I've done for v7.2 already. So where are we at for an update?
-
My map is good to go for its first release. I'll go through it tonight looking for anything out of place, but it should be fine.
-
I was actually gonna ask when we can expect an update earlier today then forgot :o
-
Are Ice and Square fixed? Those were the main ones. I could probably swap the forest camo to digi camo if someone wants it this release.

I just need to get rid of the obj sounds and square will be good for release.

Alright, write up the briefings files then :) You can see examples in the Briefings folder.

I fixed Ice a while back, for real. I added a flat playerblock so people can't go below the ice. I did a bunch of bug fixes on Square like the door warping and people going where they shouldn't be.
-
Square's now done for now.
EDIT; monkey Island still needs to be fixed, if it's even possible.
-
Are the spawns on Berg working? I'm not sure if that was fixed last update, it's been a while since I played that map.

Would be cool if we can choose both old and digital camo, I mean a menu option to choose Digital or Old.
obvious for futures releases :D

Not possible. The camo is actually changed for each map. Meaning, we would have to have 2 of each map to choose camo, and even then, the entire server would be wearing the same camo.

Oh, yeah. I completely forgot about that.

Not to mention adding a bunch of code into the already compiled game for which we have no source. It wouldn't be a per-map thing, it would be global. The forest skins would actually be removed entirely, replaced by the digital camo.

And the breakout glitches?

Which are those? The one where you had to crouch going up the stairs has been fixed. Not really a bug though.

I didn't even realize there was a change log. :P
-
Yea, I've been meaning to tell you to use it :)
-
Killa i sent a pm to Spanky a few months ago explaining where those glitches were, i think he knows what i am talking about ::)
-
I don't remember the PM but I either ignored you or fixed them all :) The changelog shows several fixes for it.
-
Just added MP_City_Block to the v7.2 folder as well as the briefings in the briefings folder. ;D I'm excited for it to actually be in AA.
I hope Square's point problem is fixed.

I am quite done with Interdiction at this time. I would just like to set up a couple things in a better way. If we are planning to update on this week there's not much time for another map. I tried working around OldTown some time ago but it's almost completely filled with newer packages and that would be burden to replace, either having people to use 2.8.5 packages as a whole (which would mean a quite huge patch update by our standards) or the other way around, picking out only the materials being used in the map and includ them in the 285 tagged packages i already setted up a while ago for Interdiction (which used a relatively small amount of 2.8.5 materials).
Actually i recall i already talked about that with Spanky and the idea was about converting the game materials (meshes, textures and sounds) as a whole but taking out the 2.5 materials so to have a much more size-efficient patch. Unfortunatly it seems that the packages aren't extremely well organized and while there's a path for guess estimating what belongs to one version or to the other, some packages are mixed with materials from both.
I didn't even realize there was a change log. :P
Better than having to ask around if things are fixed or not. Btw i'm not sure whether it was last used, i still use it don't know about others.
-
So we're all happy and ready for an update?
-
Yup.
-
Go for it.
-
You know what to do Pit. Or... at least I hope you do :) Be prepared for the shit storm of complaints if you screw up in the slightest way.
-
pit doesnt need to worry about the shit storm, he has a buffer layer, you lowly aao25 admins will soak up the shitstorm
Hey I'd be more than happy to tell a few people to fuck off. :P

Hey now, that's Skrewy's job.

I just remembered, Killa, since your map is new, you have to edit/update the tours.ini to include your map so server admins can change to it via the control panel. Open up the one in Assist and scroll all the way to the bottom to see how the others are done. Don't screw it up :)
-
Better send him the fax as well.
-
Just wanted to say hold the update until Killaman performs the giant list of things to do that I wrote up for him :D
