Quoted from http://z3.invisionfree.com/BFG_mod/index.php?

I've finally decided to leave this mod. While I will still add ideas, the occasional bit of work here and there, there is really no point in me continuing as leader, as my computer has exploded and I have too much school work to do.

Maybe when its over I will rejoin you.

I now place you in the capable hands of Minaithnir2005

[King_Malekith]

alright c ya heretic - i hope your life gets back on track, maybe i can visit you im only in Gloucester. shame you had to quit - you'll still b part of the team its been great working with you and you've done well with all of the models. you've had a great impact and kept us going so thank you.

[Heretic]

Thank You.

[Minaithnir2005]

even though you are leaving i will still consider you the t leader, come and get your job back when you are ready and we will still offer you beta versons

[Heretic]

Might be a while for that to happen.

[Minaithnir2005]

and if you see this heretic, we need one of malekith or myself to be made admin and we need the password 2 alter the moddb thing (mod of year)

cheers

[Heretic]

Okey day.

[Zany Reaper]

You should also update this page on your mod too, & get things sorted:

http://mods.moddb.com/6357/battlefle...r-dawn-of-war/

You're not seriously 80% complete are you? Have you got any of the new models in-game yet?


Off-topic - Minaithnir2005, you're also a team member in the TTRU mod's modDB site too.

[Heretic]

Zany -

We keep updates hidden from non mod team members.


Why am I still posting?

I thought I left.

[Heretic]

I have redecided, and I can't seem to get away from here.

So I'm staying.

AH. We have a later release date. Sorry folks, we seem to have lost a lot of work.

[King_Malekith]

Quick update - non mod, best place to put it though. Me and Heretic have started a DoW clan for the BfG mod team and out friends so join up at our site to become part of our crew.

[Heretic]

[King_Malekith]

id like to update quickly as i posted in the mapping forums and nobody helped me,

Im looking for some one who can script the campaigns for this mod please, thanks

Also we're not going to die, we're so close to a release we just need the staff.

Mal

[thudmeizer]

I'll check up on your other staff members as well.

[Heretic]

Cheers Thud.

[Minaithnir2005]

shall i start drawing concepts for the space stations? its come to my attention that there are little or no concepts in this area

[King_Malekith]

yeh go ahead if your not doing anything else - we've talked about that and if we can add em in then that would be great.

[Minaithnir2005]

i have a guy doing them now actually :P he doing what we already have, ill work on tau and IN buildings, based off fluff and the dow game

[Minaithnir2005]

sorry for double post but no one to reply with this to



Tau Custodian Class

NB Map shown is an older map, real map being intergrated now, FX is nearly done since this image, Texturing has been happening since this image.

[the-tempest]

Heh, looks pretty cool. It'll be interesting to see how it plays.

[Faenaris]

This mod looks very interesting. Any idea for an ETA?

[King_Malekith]

early 2007 will be a beta release but thats just a scale for you not a date as such

[Minaithnir2005]

possibly late january, mayby earlier if we make it pre set up forces solely to test pathfinding and combat

[Faenaris]

Thanks for the replies, King_Malekith and Minaithnir2005.

[Axel_of_sweden]

Dumb idea, what about making a Holy terra planet, kinda easy just take a map off earth and make it little more grey, less water and more cities

[Imrix]

Don't like the idea, don't comment. I think it's a great notion, and I respect anybody willing to take on the work. I would but, frankly coding scares me.

[Minaithnir2005]

i agree with imrix, Axel_of_sweden we cant copy earth cos in the 41k its more like coruscant

[King_Malekith]

anyway, once weve got a beta out, ill be working closely with others too come up with an eye of terror campign, although thats all i can tell you atm (cos thats all i know/can think of ).

[Worsle]

Well their is a good shot of the Sol system in the Firewarrior oppening (only good thing about the game it seems) and I don't see you remaking that. Earth is a fortress, Sol is a fortress really no one would stand a chance given the sheer amount of stuff the Imperium should have.

[King_Malekith]

not quite understanding you and we were kinda thinking that we would 'borrow' that movie for our opening, but we'll see how things pan out

[skills]

Err 'borrowing' another games intro movie is illegal, so no I wouldn't do that

[Axel_of_sweden]

I said dumb idea

[Heretic]

I say we make our own intro.

Involving Exterminatus.

[skills]

Feel free but its a lot of work, and the end result will take ages to render if you do it well

[Heretic]

We could record game footage, is that possible?

On a lighter note, I have DC now.

And its awesome :P

[VenerableDread]

Yes. Using Fraps.

[Heretic]

Excellent. thanks.

[King_Malekith]

or i could create one with ME, but it would require a lot of work and a bit of code

[skills]

Ingame pieced together sounds best, still that would be one of the last things to happen

[King_Malekith]

yup

[Heretic]

Hey folks, the release date has been changed to july, sorry for the delays, we are short - staffed at the moment.

[Minaithnir2005]

if you can model texture or animate give us a call, we can get this done faster if we have more help

[haloelite52]

so how is the mod coming now it looks so sweet!!!!!!!!!

[King_Malekith]

i wouldnt say dying, but i wouldnt say we were working well, but thats just my take on things. we're trying to get everything together in one place ready to be developed, only we arent hearing back from the moddelers

[Esinhorn]

Is this working off the DOW engine or something else.
I cant wait til you get it up I love Battlefield Gothic TT

[Heretic]

its for DOW, we have units ingame as well.

It will come out soon, and you could be a beta tester. *hint hint*

[geodav]

I'd love to give it a go, not sure if my crap play style would help though (still haven't completed the DC campain with tau)
