Blog 117 (21/01/09)


Recommended Posts

Heya guys, not much to view this week but hopefully we should have some more stuff next week. Anyway, read this!

 

<h3>Soviet Barracks</h3>

dtrngd has been working a lot on the soviet barracks and has it nearly completed. All he needs now is some barbed wire and the statue for the top. Talking about the statue, we are thinking of doing something cool with it in terms of map types. On snowy maps, we could give the statue a scarf or something just for fun of it. Also, you'll have the pleasure of seeing my face as everytime you look up at the statue, since I'm putting my own head onto it. Trippy huh?

 

Here are some images:

<h3>Ivan's Knife</h3>

TruYuri has rigged up Crazy Ivan's knife. It's currently rigged up to the Renegade arms, but we'll be doing something new with the arms sooner than you think, so keep watching this space. It's ingame, but positioning IS NOT FINAL. I hate hiding behind that excuse, but we wouldn't have anything to show otherwise :)

<h3>Podcast</h3>

The podcast has been put on hold, until we all get time to record it. I was particularly busy this last week, so I was unable to partake in the venture, so yeah. Keep waiting for that one.

 

<h3>Team Messages</h3>

I've been beginning to learn Unreal 3.

 

dtrngd has revealed a few of his ideas for future maps. One that he wants to get in for the first release is Fort Bradley, which will be a mission map, "RA2_Fort_Bradley.mix (RC1)". After Freezing Straits he is either going to map Fort Bradley OR Blood Feud followed by Fort Bradley.

 

danpaul88 is gearing up and waiting for art assets to get Alpha 7 out to the testers.

 

Eggman891 could be coming to visit me to check out stafford uni :D

 

TheBeerinator is doing lots of cool things that will be revealed later.

 

Don't forget to vote for us in the MODDB TOP 100. We made it thanks to you guys!

 

<h3>OWA's Random Corner</h3>

Here's the intro to one of the greatest animes that I have had the pleasure of watching recently.

 

Gurren Lagann!

hmm youtube video not available in my county, wow never gotten that one before.

Seriously, what the hell is that about? I'm in the US, the only content that's not allowed to be shown in my country is animal and child porn.... .... OWA, what have you been up to???

 

 

And as an American, raised on values like free speech, I take it personally when I'm told I'm not allowed to view certain media just because of where I live.

Fort Bradley...don't tell me AI bot Dreaddies are gonna kill the Liberty...again?

 

Oh, wait. Dread's don't exist in RC1. Haha. Looks like we'll be busy garrisoning those buildings and shooting at V3s on the other side of the river.

Excellent blog. Those first two screenshots depict the main weakpoint, right? Coz that fence reminds me of that underground part of the HON in Renegade campaign where you could find a whole cache of weapons.

 

Too bad about the pod. Guess we'll have to wait some more.

 

Also, I didn't get the 'Not available in your country' thing but it's worth mentioning it is getting pretty popular around YT. Some time ago, I couldn't watch some videos that I was entirely positive didn't contain any sort of illegal stuff. Maybe the user can choose what countries are allowed to watch? Dunno.

Gurren Lagann... also has one of the fanciest soundtracks out there :D.

 

The storage room and the fence kinda remind me of HL1 for no good reason.

 

One question to OWA, will the head of the statue fall off when the Barracks go down, and will you hestitate to make the killing-blow if it does :)?

Youtube adds a little country code to it's URL according to some random setting, replace this code with www. and it should work (e.g. http://uk.youtubecom/WHATERVERYTHJFJGTFJ should be corrected to http://www.youtubecom/WHATERVERYTHJFJGTFJ)

Incorrect.

 

The US doesn't even have country code in the url. YouTube is limiting access based on your IP address.

I agree. The soundtrack is certainly fancy.

 

I'm unsure, on the the whole disemboweling my good self, we'll have to see how it plays out :)

Well I'll be glad if I'm playing soviets when you're on the enemy team then. Just have to wait for you to run into my gun to rack up points an promotions. Easy game :D.

Where's the love? :D

 

Very nice.

 

Will the knife be a one hit kill...or two, maybe three?

We'll take a look and see what works best.
