It's been awhile since our last update so allow me to bring everyone up to speed on the situation. We're focusing all of our efforts on completing 1.08 which is going to be a large update. Our code base has been converted to the new Source SDK which fixes several bugs. All hitbox issues have been resolved. These were caused by the player hitbox not always matching up with the player model inherent in the early SDK our code was built on. The ability to squeeze through displacements and world geometry on such maps as Canyon has also been fixed. Improvements to the commander interface such as a visible button to logout of the interface and various bug fixes have been implemented. [Snip]
Not to make a superfluous post, but holy shit 1.08 sounds sexy. I can't wait for those new maps!!! And thank GOD that they've fixed those holes in maps like Canyon... exploiters be gone! I, for one, am very excited.
[Excitement]New NF weapons!!!:D Hellz yeah!! But no new NFSMG1. BOO! Arty nerfage!! (see above) where's the prone/iron sights??? AND DID SOMEBODY SAY MANDATORY TUTORIAL MAP?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Now everyone can get ammoz!!! :D [/Excitement] EDIT New landmine animation is the greatest thing i have seen in my entire life EVER
Wootzorz! i love you! have my children! ... or at least my put some of those brendolie nanites in them...
That sounds great! Are the aircraft planned for 1.09? or 1.1? Even without the aircraft the new bug fixes will get my interest.
I love the new models(especially the new NF pistol that is very Colt. Goverment 1911esque). But something tells me that my nightmare will come true with the engineer SMGs... Aww, fuck it. It will be sweet nevertheless. :D Edit: Psst... You forgot the cocking animation again.
It gets better and better, i think we'll be seeing more people play Empires with these kinds of large updates.
This is great news! I'm so looking forward to 1.08 now, especially with those new maps. I can't even begin to imagine how big levels are going to be once they are scaled; this is gonna blow every other mod out of the water! And if aircraft don't, naval warfare sure will :D
This is nice and all, but i dont see 2 main updates: - 1.08 status/release date. - Vehicle and building models optimization. Every thing else looks sex.
Horny Rabbit has been working on optimizing the buildings, but I haven't heard from him in several weeks for a status update.
It made PHL: http://planethalflife.gamespy.com/fullstory.php?id=106796 This can definately only be good for the mod.
