Awesome.

 

I was starting to freak out because of 1.08 deprivation

 

great stuff

 

Beautiful! Can't wait to try it!

 

Must Play Now! :d

 

So glad the squad menu has been fixed. That and the binding problems were my major hates of RC7.

Three cheers for the Krenz!

 

that's awesome

awesome work krenzo!

 

i think opening up that bug tracking system to the community has helped.

 

There's a problem with the new model for the BE Vehicle Factory. Give me a few mins to correct and re-upload.

 

it was pretty funny though, standing on a big invisible ramp, that surrounded the whole building

 

I was wondering why my cannon shells were exploding in mid-air, and how all those little engies were flying...

 

I wonder what would have happened if we tried to build a vehicle

 

That's a bit redundant, isn't it Supaste? :p

Loving the bugfixes.

 

Invisble veichles? :D

Perhaps not...

 

I believe you would be trapped inside the vehicle factory, or would be able to drive for a bit and then end up stuck in the collision model.

 

it would have been so close yet so far

 

What if we already installed the previous patch that contains the bug?

(It appears that my download finished in between you shutting the server down, and posting this message)

 

Yay! now we can stop griping about the major bugs in RC7 and hopefully find all remaining bugs.

 

Same here Shinzon...oh well
