Patch News - I work to deadlines

[harley]

Sorry, that was my deadline. I figured if I told you all a date, I'd have to do it.

I am going to slip. Work interrupted somewhat, but I am on the case.

Hey Harley ! <S> Sir !

No worries my friend, I have been very scarce for the same time frame for similar reasons. Life took over and I had other things that needed to be dealt with. But I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge your long term dedication to this project and this community. [8D]

I have not really had the time to dig into your upgrades and changes but a fast skim was very pleasing. Thanks for your hard work and giving of your own time to do these things for us. Thank You Sir ! [&o]

Later,
KayBay [8D]

I've been holding off starting a game since the announcement of the patch.

I am seriously jonesing to play this again, but don't want to start and have the old saves not be compatible with the patch.

So... will the patch require restarting the campaign?

[npsergio]

I have the same question...
Anyway, although I'm not sure, I think that it won't be needed to restart the current games. Why? -> This is from Harley:
"basically I've geared it so that at game start (or when you load an old version game) the counter is fixed at XX research required, rather than days required. "

what happens is that on old save load the game will see how much more research you need and insert this value. it's not perfect, it's not pretty, but it does work.

I *always* try and make code changes data independent. Generally the only reason new games are required is to get changes to:

Location position, type or date
Aircraft performance stats or arrival dates
Unit dates, start locations or assignments (including pilots)

Patch? Did anyone mention the patch? Oh great! I'm ready to get slaughtered in PBEM again! Good to know that this gem isn't dead! Wow! Have to re-learn the game again after all those years. Looking forward to it.

[cohimbra]

Well? Any new release date? You always work to the patch or you have give up?
We look forward with confidence, good work!

[harley]

Yeah, I'm still working on it, albeit very slowly.

Full-time employment, 1 wife, 3 kids and a dog make it hard. My deadline was self-imposed as I thought that would help me get it done, but it didn't take into consideration real-life issues.

At least it's just us asking about it and not Churchill or Hitler breathing down your neck for that patch to continue the war. [:D]

[bettysteve]

new player to this version, played 8 turns so far and noticed that the axis aircraft RTB are getting hit by their own flak units when flying over anything, thats good for me as some crash when landing, but if l were an axis pilot and some goose took a shot at me, l would be round his pit with a book of ID pics slapping him up the side of the head with it, yeah?!

[sauro brusch]

Ok the truth is: game is dead and the patch in K.I.A.

[Turner]

The above is probably true.

I would hope that what work has been done up to this point should be released, but that is probably out of the question as well.

Profit above all, it is the doom of mankind... not only great games such as this one.

Maybe you're right, but I hope it's M.I.A. [:D]
