Does anyone have any contact with the RA makers? Would it be too much to ask for a status update?

It will surely show in one of these places before here:

I'm gonna hold my breath until they release it
Hurrmmmphh....

...

Serious question: Have the devs announced anything about missions for this mod? Will we have to roll our own or has anybody taken a stab at it?

Well... this is a mod so most likely the devs don't care. Other missions might need tweaking but they should work after you put a few minutes into them in the editor.

What a cruel joke, thats a very old version, mid 2008.

I wait for the real deal.

I'd bet they are getting a flood of PM's right now, probably from both sites..

Do you think the new version is out but they uploaded the old version by mistake?

dd149 · 08-23-09, 01:41 PM

might very well be as they posted this very recently, lets be patient once more...

Anyone asked them?

Not many of us speak Russian I guess.

no.. not a chance...

If they were going to attempt to make good on the deadline, i think they are just probably wrapping things up with the mod and attempting to bring closure to any last minute ideas they may have before reaching a finished state.

now.. any last minute item(s) will of course push the deadline out farther. So we have to allow for a window of tolerance when considering the deadline. Just how much tolerance??? depends on how much more we can tolerate waiting

HAHA :rotfl:

They basically rebuilt DW from the ground up even with SP campaigns now converted to run on RA(as I recall) It's a TON of work they are attempting to accomplish.

And, I wasn't kidding about these guys being thorough

You should see some of the stuff they have created; launching frogmen from tropedo tubes, seal-team mini subs, and re-skinning bios for example. go here and see some of the stuff they have made.

We can conjure up reasons why they are beyond deadline and we haven't heard anything yet.. but it's best just to continue to wait; what else are we going to do???

suBB · 08-23-09, 07:56 PM

oh, one more thing...

If they haven't been doing it parallel to modding.. they will also need to do final documentation on weapons, features and gear.

(IIRC) Even the beta had a document on how to use various functions of the shipwreck missile(for example) No telling what they have added to final release at this point.

just my change in the bucket...

LoBlo · 08-23-09, 10:30 PM

My impression. The RA mod database and doctrine files got really complex, even the old beta, to the point where bug hunting/fixes took a whole lot of time. I remember bug hunting the torpedo behavior just for the Mk48 alone and it took me 2 whole days (literally all weekend) to tease out the problems with the doctrine and fix them. Some of the torps not only had their own senors, but some had multiple sensors of the multiple types, and each individually referenced in the doctrine file....

.

My impression is that bug hunting will likely take a long while. Some bugs may be stubbornly problematic. I wish an open 2nd beta would be considered by the dev team as it would be more efficient to enlist the aid of the community at large in play testing/bug fixing, rather than a small restricted play group.

2 cents.

goldorak · 08-23-09, 10:39 PM

I think most bugs got squashed out in the beta. On the other hand don't forget that we are in the middle of august, a time where people spend more time on holiday/beach etc... than in front of a computer screen.
Give the guys some slack.
We have waited for several months right, so whats 2-3 days/weeks more ?
