Beta 2.1b

Posted on August 3, 2007 by Nighthawk

I know I said I would release it on Sunday, but due to the recent forum inactivity, and the fact that I'm away a lot, I'm releasing it now. This is a very small update, only fixing one issue. So, to counteract the minuteness of this update, I've also included the game font I was originally going to distribute with Beta 2.1 (but forgot :lol:). It's the YR logo font converted to a size suitable for the game. Please note, there are no Arabic, Cyrillic, Hebrew or any other foreign characters in the font, so it may not work with some games.
I wasn't able to get the weapons fixed on the F.F. Pillbox - the solution I was using made the weapon go completely haywire. I tried several other things, but no joy. So, the only unit fixed is the Soldier, which now fires in a straight line.
Again, it comes in Cumulative and Incremental versions. Download the Cumulative if you've only got one of the earlier versions. Download the Incremental if you've got Beta 2.1.
Now, as I said, this is the last bugfix version. I'll now start work on Beta 3.0, which means no more public beta testing. I will also be looking for some help graphic-wise with this version, as it'll need a bit more work, so keep an eye on the news.

Cumulative Version (download if you use Beta 2.0c or earlier): Download Link.
Incremental Version (download if you use Beta 2.1): Download Link.
RockPatch 1.10 is required. It is included in the zip files, but if for some reason it doesn't work, try getting it from here or here. The included version is 1.10 #0036, the last one released.
You may also need the Terrain Expansion. (Actually, you won't yet, but I'd advise you to download it anyway).

And, don't use the NPatch with this mod. You will get errors, and it won't work properly. Using it with a mod that clearly states it doesn't work with the NPatch is sheer idiocy. If you tell me the mod won't work and you're using NPatch version x or y, your post gets deleted. Nuff said.
Lastly, don't distribute my game font.

Nighthawk.

New website, and Update 2.0c

Posted on June 30, 2007 by Nighthawk

As you can see, if you're reading this on the site, I've changed the design, again.
This time, it's using an actual design template, rather than something I cooked up in FrontPage with some tables and layers.
As well as the new site, I've uploaded the next bugfix patch to the server. There are two different versions you can download, an incremental one, and a cumulative one. If you installed the last update, then go for the incremental one, but if you haven't installed the update, go for the cumulative one - it contains 2.0b as well.
Remember, post any bugs in the topic entitled 'The Bug Thread' in the forums.
Please download and enjoy.

Nighthawk.

Later Update: There is a missing file from both the incremental and cumulative updates. Please download the file 'expandmd40.zip' from post #7 of this thread for the mod to work correctly.

More Testers Needed

Posted on April 21, 2007 by Nighthawk

Due to time problems with the testing team, I'm looking for one or two more testers to help finish up the current beta version. If you're interested, read this now ancient topic, make sure you 'qualify', then throw me a PM.
I plan on getting this version out soon, once the bugs have been worked out. Especially as I go on study leave shortly and will be unable to do anything really on this.

Mod Progress as of 16/10/06

Posted on October 16, 2006 by Nighthawk

Progress with the mod so far has unfortunately been slow, due to the need for RP 1.08 SE to implement the majority of the stolen tech units, and me getting swamped with coursework, leaving me with little time to work on it. All of the Future Forces infantry, units and buildings are finished, as are all the upgrades, though stolen tech is not due to my lack of time. I have however uploaded the colour version of the picture of the Future Forces base, and replaced the black and white pictures in the database with the colour versions. The second photo and anything from it are still in greyscale however. Though, on the plus side, in the short spaces of time I've had to work on the mod I have been adding small bits and pieces to it, mostly to Yuri, which is now composed of four Legions instead of two. More information on this will be released at another time. Until then, you can see the colour images on the Future Forces page of the site here.

Spy Plane Report #2

Posted on September 12, 2006 by Nighthawk

Commander, with the increased threat of an invasion force coming through the vortex, the Soviets have dispatched Spy Planes to constantly survey all areas near the vortex. One of the planes sighted this picture, unfortunately though, the picture was taken around midnight (local time) and, as usual, the Spy Plane's camera isn't the best quality photography device. However, it appears to show a group of FF units heading out of the vortex area toward the south via a small bridge that they have lit up. This photo also gives us a glimpse at some of their naval units, and a better look at some of the ones we couldn't really see in the previous report. Don't worry Commander, we are stil working on improving the quality and colour of the previous picture, but you may have to wait. This one will eventually be improved and colourised too, once our analysts get around to it. Study this picture Commander. We will update the database shortly with the new information.
