Er, guys. I'm sorry but I got to suspend the test until Monday, mums only letting me do much, I'm still too ill. All I got to do is find a few leaks and tweak the lighting, but she won't have it . . . ChromeAngel, I will see tomorrow what I can do for Grendel And Merkaba, just means we need a bigger server or 2 ppl will volunteer to drop out.

monday <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> better be after 4 o clock, i wont be back from school before then. And give your mum a kick up the arse from me.
I'm free pretty much all day Monday, so that works for me. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Fortunately, today wasn't a total loss. A few of us still had a challenging (*cough*sarcasm*cough*) game on hera a short while ago. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Hehe I'm down with anything..just let me know <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
with svcheats 1 wich means unlimited ressources and such. me building defense towers really ALL over the map. I build no OT and just attacked if I was atacked directly voiced to be nice to each other (never died because of all the D-chambers). But marines 5th time attacked a different hive so i atacked the CC -> marines no longer had one. I redesigned receprion with 15 chambers of all kind (but no offense chambers). Then I redesigned the Marine start the same way. well they killed me once in that werid game.
Disapointing, not least of all because I don't think I'll be around Monday... and time differences may make it tricky for out transatlantic players.
How about next weekend? It will give you a chance to get things just right and release the map in plenty of time. Just not Friday ok, I don't think I'd survive that one!

well i hope (if someone can possibly host a 20man server) that its 8pm gmt till 9/9:30pm gmt
which would mean 12 midday for people on pacific time 1pm for people on us&canada mountain time 2pm central time 3pm eastern time I think i did my math right, however dont count on the ill person, or if your french they would call me "malade" people in europe usually know the time difference as far out as denmark its about 2hrs 30 out. if u need that included just ask EDIT - eaglec firdays the deadline, so if i cant playtest it monday then . .. i ll just hand it in, but i hope for someone to host a 20man server:D
hmm 3:00pm eastern time might work out for me, i get out at like 2:05 and i get home about 2:15 so that should be pretty good. just let us know ahead of time the exact time and dte and stuff. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
I've Emailed Knowledge About Hosting, If he can host the server lineup is as follows
1) Sephiroth2k 2) ChromeAngel 3) The Real Quasar *Pending Status* 4) Sycophant 5) |MaTT| 6) Pie 'oh' pah 7) Know|edge 8) WraithOfDark 9) JediYoshi 10) eaglec *Pending Status* 11) Hopelessness 12) Wither 13) Silarn 14) Manic 15) Ollj 16) Revenant 17) Grendal 18) Merkaba 19) Driftwood 20) SPARE SLOT - Dev Team Member / Playtester Gets First Dibs on this spot. No matter what.
In mapping for Ns_Fusion news I will try and do it all tomorrow and send it out, otherwise it will be about 7:00PM Gmt. Just in time for the hopeful 8PM kick off, either way. MY mum better let me map tomorrow, or I'll have to do it at like 3am, when shes not around . . .
Please let me know by the end of today whether or not you can make it to the playtest as the date and time has changed alot.

As of right now, I'll say that I can make it. Once a time & date is finalized, I'll be able to let you know for absolutely sure if I'll be there.
ok no worries Eaglec, I will send you a build when its released anyway, because I like you, and I appreciate you giving me the server all though I 'stood you up'. So the server lineup changes once more to . . . .

I do that anyway, ask the guys on the Irish Navan server. By the way if anyone gets sloshed on the playtest, I will personally make sure they won't do what I do . . . (Start singing 'Row row row ya boat') Just to confirm I have contacted knowledge although he hasn't replied about hosting a server, can anyone else offer a 20 player server?
maybe the good people at mayberry would be nice and let us use one of their servers for an hour and a half or so, try asking them... try andy@mayberrygames.com. i hate to impose on them, but im thinkin we need a server...
Look - do you have a fully playable map to test? If you don't, don't start planning a test and so on.
Once you have a finished map, contact a server, and get the to set a time to run it (two weeks in advance of any mention to players, so you can rally the troops).
Then start getting a fair number of people together. This shouldn't take too long, as people are always egging to play a new map. Once a good number is reached, email them (in a group, so get their email from them pming or posting it, rather than using the profile thing - or better yet get them to eamil you first) and tell them the TIME, IP and url for map.
Better yet... let me play <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
The map is 95-98% done. I've started on another project which already looks much nicer, IMO I want to release it as open source . . . just up to you guys. . . . OR if someone wants to they can finish it off. It also used the v_wad.
Afraid I'm going to have to drop out of this. My graphics card and/or drivers and/or directX9 just failed out of the blue and I really can't get it working again. I'll hope to be playing fusion when I get my Radeon9500 though, lets hope it makes 1.1.
Prophet 4500 graphics card, in case you were wondering. I go into half-life and it just shows the black 'loading' screen forever whilst I can walk around and play the game 'blind'. No other games show anything more than black either, as far as I know, but 3dmark seems to work...odd.
