We tried to play some MvM today but encountered a game breaking bug. When accessing the armory no items showed up and noone could exit the buy menu. Video[/img] Server log

@SupaFred I just checked and verified, this is due to MvM & Modular Exo mods conflicting with one another. These two mods are no longer compatible. So, it's neither a bug in MvM or ME.
@McGlaspie On a round of MvM tonight the enemy team lost their active command chair. When they got to their backup command chair it was closed and they couldn't login or eject. Log file

For anyone who is still interested in this mod...No, it's not dead. Any NS2 time that I've had in the past several weeks has been dedicated to CDT work. I still intend on making all those tech-tree changes to MvM that were previous mentioned.

You will play it again. I've been swamped with rebuilding the infrastructure for the CDT (from scratch), so I haven't been able to do any work with MvM sadly.
I have not abandoned it. It shall rise again...I just don't know when.
There are some big things in the works. More news in the coming months.
Only addition I had already shut down by the design doc. I'm not too sure about the complexity of it. Sure, that's all cool tech but it might make sense to add most of it in gradually rather than try to finish all at once.
I do respect your attention to what makes a mod be popular. Especially as I see one gamemode mod after another fail because they pay no mind to this.

Looks great yes, that's a lots of good stuff that will definitively increase the time spent by players on the game. Also this looks like a lots of work from a dev perspective, do not forget to sleep Keep us informed. Waiting now impatiently for this release.

@Eyeballz310 I hate to say it...but I'm forced to disappoint you. Sadly, I've had absolutely zero time to work on MvM for many months, even though I still want to. I have no idea when I'll get the time to do so either.
@Soul_Rider Yeah, that would make sense; however, Vanilla Forums doesn't support that...so, nothing we can do about it.
A bit more on topic...I'm a bit surprised that no one commented on anything directly when I posed the semi-complete design doc. I'm still game to toy with ideas, but I cannot promise any of them will come to light. It's one thing to spend a few minutes responding to a forum post...it's another thing entirely to spend the 100's of hours it will take to properly "rebuild" MvM. And no, that's not me trying to imply I'm leaving it for dead!
Yeah, you're completely right. And i bet all of the players of MvM are very thankful for the past.
unfortunately i play NS2 just for a few weeks now.
I dont know how this happened, but i (As a very intense gamer) havent heard sth. bout this game yet.
I hope you will have more time for your !hobby! in future and we can play the Mod again (:
I also hope that this mod will be playable again. I like the Idea really much. It would be like C&C or a Starcraft with Terrans vs. Terrans.
Would be an awesome alternative between the Vanilla NS2 games.

The Mod is broken currently.
I would strongly ask, if you are not McGlaspie updating this thread to tell us that the mod is now working ,or some other brilliant news, please don't bump this thread.

Sadly, I didn't have the time to get it updated before B267 go-live. I'll be updating it this week, most of the fixes are already in place.
Would play it again.

Nevermind, panic over, nothing to see here.
Any and all time I've had for such projects like MvM has gone to CDT efforts. This may change in the coming days though.
In the meantime, if anyone is curious, I have taken the time to try to formalize my thoughts and plans for MvM in a Design Doc.
Take a look and please post your _constructive_ feedback in this thread!

I would assume more difficult, because if people saw you releasing updates for MvM, they would start shouting that you work on NS2 instead :P
Anyway, congratulations on the new role, and whatever happens going forward, I wish you the greatest of success
whats up now?
Just bought a server to run the mod and noticed that it isnt working. q.q
Does this mod have a future?
It's funny to see @McGlaspie complain about UWE still updating the game, when he is now the one doing the updating
It might confuse newcomers to the world..

It gets my hopes up artificially.

I thought it could be a good idea to past that here.
