WW2: World in Flames [REVISED]

[Vuormalainen]

Awesome, cant wait! How are you going to host it?

//Zelzahim

The beta tests? The usual way I suppose.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Is there a limit to the number of people signing up?

 

[Fingolfin]

Ofcourse not, but there is a limit to how many will be playing. We will always need people though, since we can't count on everyone being able to play everytime we do a test, so we will need some spares too. Everyone who wants to join tests should sign up tomorrow aftwer we have given instructions.

 

[Falafelkorv]

The beta tests? The usual way I suppose.

I mean, battle.net or hamachi LAN or something like that

 

[Fingolfin]

Battle.net. We will be hosting private games.

 

[De.Facto]

I would prefer GGC/GHost.

 

[Vuormalainen]

That one Fingolfin didn't show up today (technically yesterday) and I wouldn't like putting up the signup without him so I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow.

 

[Fingolfin]

Sorry, i was invited over for dinner, but thanks for waiting. I will be online all day today, so i'll see you on skype in a few minutes.

 

[Fingolfin]

[Miss_Foxy]

Hi guys! I just came back from my 3-day long camp so I can be active in this thread again. So... What's new on the beta?

 

[James7]

How's it goin?

Looked over the thread and it looks god damn amazing.

 

[Vuormalainen]

BETAs soon with the upper half of map, Fingolfin is just mainly gonna finish two asum models. Dec-Jan probly.

Feel free to sign up, http://www.worldinflames.se/

 

[Miss_Foxy]

So... What date would it be on again? I kind of forgot where to see it.

 

[PastTime]

Dec-Jan probly.

I guess that's what you're looking for.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

I guess I'd love to do it too, a nice game is worth the wait

 

[baassee]

Oh yeah, .se site! Signed up.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

What are the number of slots remaining in the beta signup by the way?

 

[Fingolfin]

How's it goin?

Looked over the thread and it looks god damn amazing.

lol, James, you should sign up!
Wouldn't it be nice to experience the fruit of our combined labour? ^^


EDIT: We have gotten about 11 signups at this point, but we want to have as many applied as possible before we make up our minds.
I'd say maybe we have one or two that are decided at this point, so keep applying.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

So... Could we still give ideas?

 

[Vuormalainen]

So... Could we still give ideas?

Of course. Don't you see that the already released maps are given so as well?
As long as it's active, it can be improved.

 

[RiotZ]

What the hell's going on? I thought the beta was supposed to be played on the 11th.
/facepalm

 

[Vuormalainen]

No idea what's goin on with your mind no

 

[RiotZ]

Would you care to explain smart-ass? :3

 

[Vuormalainen]

Would you care to explain smart-ass? :3

First of all, who said it was goin to be played the 11th?

 

[Fingolfin]

I agree, noone said that. We've only talked about signup so far. Also, try to refrain from using words like "smart-ass" in this thread, since it can only be interpreted negatively.

I was just kidding Fingolfin. Sssh, tight-ass. xD
Jk again lol.

Well I saw on the main website it said "Closed beta 11|11|10" so I often times believe what I read.

 

[Fingolfin]

Don't you think you have condused it with the date that the post was uploaded? lol.

 

[RiotZ]

Don't you think you have condused it with the date that the post was uploaded? lol.

No it says exactly what I posted. Lemme check if it is still there.

"Closed Beta - 10/11/05" I don't know how we are going to go back in time and play the game on October 11th 2005.
You should probably fix that.

It also says "BETA TEAM SIGNUP - 10/11/13" above. Which doesn't make any sense, because the date read October 11th 2013.

Month/Day/Year
Just so you know Vuor. >.>

 

[Fingolfin]

It makes total sense to me. Year/Month/Day, the way it is supposed to be written. What you're talking about is the timestamp of the news post, which has nothing to do with the time the beta will occur, only the date at which he wrote that post.

Well in my country. (The USA) the dates are labeled: Month|Day|Year.

I have seen dates labeled as you have just stated but on very rare occasions.
Perhaps Vuor could just put small letters like: Y, D, and M to signify the Month, Day, and Year of reference.

 

[Fingolfin]

I have personally never seen your version, you always have the dates in ascending or descending "size" - a year is 12 months, a month is ~30 days. You could write day/month/year, or year/month/day. Doing it your way seems to me as unnatural as writing minutes before hours in digital time.

I assure you it is common practice where I'm from. I am instructed to place heading on my Algebra assignment pad in school and I was told by my teacher to place the date next to my name and use this format for the date. Month/Day/Year.
You will also notice if you look at your join date by clicking your profiles name, it will also read MonthXX-DayXX-YearXX.

I am just trying to encourage you and Vuor to fix this and make it more understandable to people who follow the format I do, or some completely incorrect or scientific format.

 

[Fingolfin]

Very strange..
Anyways, this is the standard format in european countries and the one we will stick with.

 

[Hugomath]

In the USA, they do use Month/Day/Year. I learned that in my English classes. But in my country, we use Day/Month/Year.

Btw, recently, I got Garry's Mod installed on my computer, and I also downloaded a pack with Day of Defeat(an WW2 game) props, weapons, vehicles and soldiers. So if you guys want some inspiration, I can try making something in GMod with them, although I barely have experience with its tools.

 

[Vuormalainen]

Well in my country. (The USA)

Ok, now that's solved.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

May I help out in the making of the game too? Like, right now I'm learning how to Model/Trigger, I hope it could be of some help Fingolfin...

Working more than two on the map would be very hard and annoying, even two is as well and we had to delete some of our both work for it to work several times.

But modelling, texturing is much easier to implement to the map so that would be helpfull I guess.

 

[Fingolfin]

I'm sorry, but Vuorma already covers all the parts that i lack in (Webmastring, problem solving), and i want to keep as few people as possible working on the map since i don't want to have to send it around.

If you have anything non-editor related that you feel talented in, feel free to demonstrate for us and i might consider.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

I don't mean sending the map around, I mean like, helping by providing Models and such

 

[Fingolfin]

Well, then it is ofcourse possible depending on how good you are at modeling.
What tools do you use? Could you perhaps show one of your models?

 

[Miss_Foxy]

I don't model, it was just an example

 

[Falafelkorv]

How are you gonna make models without knowing how to?

 

[Miss_Foxy]

I meant it was just an example, you know, like 'etc.'-- Oh never mind, back on topic...
So, how long till our first Beta test? Are most of the stuff here done in JASS?

 

[Vuormalainen]

So, how long till our first Beta test?

It's been asked like five times already and we always gave the same answer, Jan-Dec.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

What about the second question? I'm really sorry Vuormalainen...

 

[Vuormalainen]

What about the second question? I'm really sorry Vuormalainen...

Fingolfin does JASS, I don't, so about 50/50 I guess.

Edit:
Btw, I recommend those kind souls who bear our signature to update it to get the shadow on it.
Also, if you update it to this img url you'll never have to change it again as I'll just have to replace the source image being retrieved by the code.
