I guess I should say something too.
This project was put on ice in back in October 2013 until MatthewDratt picked it up in February 2014. In the mean time I've learned a lot about AI and scripting, and hopefully very soon I'll be able to work with MatthewDratt to get this map done as soon as possible. One thing that I've learned how to do is to script a better points system. The old clunky points system that you've seen in all of the trailers and pictures never really worked well and had a limit of 9990 cR. I've now updated the points system and it looks like this: Old:  New:  This new points system isn't limited by how many cutscene titles we can display, but rather how big of a number the engine can use, which is 2^31-1. To put in layman's terms, over 2 billion points! It really is over 9000! This new points system allows for entirely new possibilities with the pricing of items in the armory. Many thanks go to Kirby for helping me figure out this new system. I really hope that together me and MatthewDratt can work fast enough to get this map out by the end of the year (does this sound familiar?). If not then maybe next year...

Edited by Pepzee on Jul 20, 2014 at 04:47 AM It's beautiful! Great work! On A side note, I think the clouds should blend in to the pinkish sunset a little more. And a few additional light rays could be added. Send me the tif file, and I might be able to help. |

I continue to be an advocate of the diplomatic Kirk approach which may or may not involve shagging every alien in sight.

Not yet... MatthewDratt has taken over the project and I'm unsure of what progress he has made. I'll try to post back soon with more information. |

Siq tag rips bruh. In all honesty though, glad to see this is getting worked on again. Portent is still a damn good map, and perfect for Firefight play.

Quote: --- Original message by: Pepzee I've decided to do one more thing, in an effort for transparency (and to show progress) I'm going to be posting the changelog for the map. I can't guarantee how often changelogs will be posted but it will keep you informed on the progress of the map. Since this is the raw changelog expect there to be spoilers, if you don't want to be spoiled then please ignore the changelog. Ignore the alpha build numbers as those are used for internal purposes only. This is not a wishlist of things to do, it's things that have already been done! So here we go: CHANGELOG: I expect these changelogs to be a source of debate as well as I have to make controversial decisions about certain aspects of the map that everyone may or may not agree with. Take note that all of these decisions have already been made and it's unlikely that they'll be changed. Most of the work this weekend has gone into slimming down the map as when I left it a year ago it was way to bloated and we didn't have enough tagspace left to add rocks if we wanted to. As you can see by reading the changelog I've been forced to remove some features of the map in order to alleviate this problem. The changelog might look pretty negative this weekend as all I did was remove stuff! But don't worry things will look better as time goes on. You said the loadout system was removed. Will we still be able to buy stuff like we could in the original Firefight Portent? |
