Don't worry, I have seen enough mods to know that there is no real release date, that was just a time frame, ie. if there are no show-stopping bugs it will be 2-4 weeks etc.

People arn't stupid enough to take those dates literally any more.

Code: Select all

<?php
$claim_to_be_done_soon="1";
$claim_time=2;
$time_to_be_done=666;
while ($claim_to_be_done_soon="1") {
$time_to_be_done=$time_to_be_done+666;
}
echo $claim_time." weeks";

/*
I'd say this is the status of the current timeframe in CUT. This means that
you'll never get this done!
*/

/*
oh and, this code outputs "2 weeks". I simply don't belive you anymore. And some of my friends on xFire are saying that too. Mabye that's the reason for the lack of players (at least part of) - You never seem to care much about patching that thing for 3369 or updating that zip to include proxymon.

Myself - I haven't played CUT2 for ages. Why? Because Duel won't work. And I don't want to keep my game outdated.

/*
PS: Sorry for posting this code, as far as I know, you have patented it because of common use.

Well the 2 weeks thing was actually Epic saying when they would release UT2k4 about 5 months before they actually did IIRC.

Guys that 2 weeks thing is seriously mean.

I mean the first time you guys used it on me I was fooled, not cool for PR.

But I hope "very close" is actually "very close". You've been saying that for ages too!

Yea first time it was a joke

But we have replaced all the borrwed assets. We are just waiting for loq to finnish a few tweaks and we are ready for the final IR. Flag has already been updating the manuals/docs and thats usally one of the last things we do before we go for a release. I realize its slow. I realize its been a long time. And I realize we have said this before. But every day we are working on this to make it better...

I personally feel you should take your time. This is after all your project and freeware too, so it's good enouh that it's happening, let alone on some vague schedule...

this all reminds me of something.

MTA team wrote:It's done when it's done

I don't know if any of you play MTA which is a GTA mod that makes it multiplayer. Even though the quote was said way before they ever existed it is most definatly their catch phrase and it works really well. They had 10,000+ players at the same time when they first released (about 9 months after the first person said 'whats taking so long?') so they were under a lot of pressure but they just ignored everyone and just ctrl-ved the same line to about 1000 posts. Anyway they managed 18 betas and 3 RC betas before release 1. They just carmly ignored thousands of people.

So you do that and I'll be happy, you just do 18 betas and 3 RC's

Creulty is so fun....... hang on, do i want to wait for 18 betas?....... hey, can i beta test?
That last line was a joke......so was the one before it.

In case your intrested, no, they weren't terrible coders, they just had to create an SDK for GTA (8O) and then make the mod on top so they actully made the whole thing 3 times over because they kept remaking the SDK from the ground up when something wasn't there/working.

Oh, and i'll hunt you all down and slap you if you take 9 months

!!! (*hint* aparently death threats are illegal on boards, *hint*)

We are hoping that this last IR (14 would be in then the RCs) so we could be close

General_Sun · Post by **General_Sun** » Sun Feb 26, 2006 4:06 pm

Oh so it's not actually close. It's close to being close.

Just kidding. Take however long you need guys, we'll still play the mod on 2k4 until it gets ported over to 2k7, if that is where you guys are headed next.

PS: Why don't you relase a patch for that 3369 bug?!?

More mini updates:

Lots of tweaks were made to the HH gametype to make it more fun (you can now pick up xbows, some of the monsters have better weapons whcih you can pickup, ect) as well as trying to make the bots better (Bots now releaize that some monster's weapon are better and will try pick them up, bots will now kick when they are suround by lots of monsters, ect). Tweaks to other things...like we saw a bot in Invasion pull out a claw and pull a kami. Now while that is cool, its not cool when he was the last one left alive on our team and he does that...soo

Just wanted to let you know we are still pluging away at this for you !!!
