So no Flaytona 2010, then.

Very cool. I assumed the engine test would just be a floating camera zooming around a map. Being able to walk around and fire at targets with other avid NS'ers is going to be very cool.

Judging from this, a playable Alpha won't be far away at all.

Everyone get your specs list ready.

WatchMaker

"Anxious" is putting it mildly.

Also, I think it would prove extremely helpful if you implemented a very simple "rating" system for the engine test. Ask the users to submit a dxdiag.txt with a 1-5 star rating for performance, and any additional comments. Seems like that would be a bit better than sifting through forum posts.

multiplay, so we can test listenservers?....hmmm maybe?, anyways that pretty much answered my question posted earlier on what was included in engine test, Thanks guys!

Very exciting. Are we going to be given console access and an FPS command and whatnot?

Phase

How will it be released? Over steam or other methods?

Mr. Epic

cool, get ready for excessive forum activity.

Pretty sure only the final release will be on Steam.
All the tests are most likely going to be downloads, similar to the Spark Editor.

Evil_bOb1

I hope I will enjoy it too. :D

Flayra

Yep, console and fps commands work (although there aren't many console commands in the initial version). r_stats will give you your frame rate, number of draw calls and primitives.

slayer20

What can we do with the engine test besides run around?

Zoc

OMG I'm so excited :D

Can we customize some game rules using LUA code with tomorrow's engine version? :)

Jibrail

good news flayra thanx, finally the first "playable" ns2 in our hands all this waiting paid off.

blmarket

Hope their servers can handle it. Maybe they just won't send out an email until late to avoid that lol.

Though I don't know how big their engine will actually come out to be.

Anthoni

Can we play with any Lua in this Engine Test?

Yragorn

So um.. Yeah.. When can we input our keys on steam and download the Alpha in order to play when it releases?

Flayra

You'll be able to run around but there isn't deathmatch in there. Yes, enterprising scripts will be able to start playing around with modding in this release but the API is still solidifying and weren't not quite ready to ship a version of Decoda with it (that'll come later).

Private

I can't wait! It'll be real!

Have you guys set up any bug tracking systems? Or will you be using forum threads and emails as with the editor?

Anthoni

Wait we get Decoda with NS2? I soooo did not know that. *drools*

Cereal_KillR

Is it more like tomorrow early or tomorrow midnight-like? D: Oh god I don't want to have an f5-day...

Denton22

Wow that is more then i expected!

Great work guys, well in germany its almost 4am so i will go to bed now.

Invader_Scoot

Count me in on the bug hunting and feedback wagon. I'm looking forward to this, even though it's such a "small" release.

Slycaster

Flay, will be able to import our own spark maps and walk around in them?

trinity.ns

i love you guys :-)

Uzguz

Out of interest, what sort of licence will we receive for Decoda? And can we upgrade it without paying full price for another one?

mattoX

ohhhhh yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhh!~~

unfortunately the 9th for myself is already present, being a resident of australia :[

can't wait!
