Time stretches on and on and on... and still no preview 2.

I understand about being busy and all, but...

Well, here's to hoping Dr.SiN gets back to CTF/e sometime...

me 2.

I really.. really want to work on it.. but don't have time at the moment. 95% of my time is finishing up the protection for UT2K3 with the remaining 5% working on a map.

Maybe after June I can come back (if there is even a demand still).

Heh.

Yeah I think there is demand, though its hard to find servers running it. Hard to compete with so many other mods out there.

I am gratified that you read the forums and reply promptly, Dr. S. I'm sure that takes time away too.

Maybe in June you can Just take the Preview-1 you released earlier and do some bug fixes and maybe implement a couple of the features you mentioned before.

You forbade people from distributing or running public servers with the preview version, as well as the maps. I am not sure if you ever recinded that, but it would be nice to have a new official public version, even if you have to cut some planned features to get it complete and bug free in your limited time.

Thanks for the reply

I second that. :D

Even just bug fix will do. ;)

I won't promise anything but if someone wants to hand me a bug list I'll see what I can do. I really am super busy at the moment, but if it's like a bunch of little things maybe I can knock them off.

Also, the reason I didn't want it on any public server is it might have gone on a UT add-on CD. But seeing I'm here now that's dead so feel free to run it/play the maps.

I havent done a comprehensive bug hunt, but I have noticed a few things. Hard to tell what is intentional and what isnt sometimes too.

1. I have noticed that at the end of a match, the hud just goes blank, rather than showing the F1 scoreboard. If you hit F1 it returns to the hud. So, no scoreboard at end of level.

2. I have noticed funkiness with picking up armor / shieldbelt / health. I am not sure exactly what combination of pickups causes it, but I will pickup some armor or something and then a shieldbelt, and the soldier graphic shows the shield aura but the armor value goes to 0. But then I can be hit or take damage and the numbers dont change. So it seems the protection is there, its just not being displayed properly.


I'll have to do some more testing to get a comprehensive bug list. I'll have to set up a server and test each server side option and gameplay feature on a network and see what other bugs I can find.

Thanks, Dr. S

I think it would also be a good idea to change the package name to CTFe2 or something to avoid version conflicts, like how the name of CSHP changed contantly.

Where can I get a copy of the latest? I would not mind checking it out as well...

A few of myunreal.com members, Dr. Sin, & I did some private testing when the preview 1 was done. I thought you wrote those bugs down, Dr. Sin. ;)

It has been awhile. I'll have to test it again to remember what those bugs were. :)

It was posted in an old thread:

Gracias...

I probably did.. doesn't mean I can find them now. I did move 1000 miles since then you know.
