FKoC: Information, progress and To-do list

[Satch234]

I see that the "To-Do List" has been updated, looks like you're closing in on a release. Congratulations, keep up the good work sir!

[juanguer]

almost there!

[♔Sherlock♔]

So close, only blasted text work!

[AWZC]

Good luck in the final few steps! Just to let you know how impressed I am at the speed of this mods progression (especially since the other mods I have waited on have been EB and RTR lol)

[Tharros]

Great AD your nearly there

EDIT: I updated the news page on the website and at moddb with this infomation

All of the tasks in the to do list have now been completed apparently. Do I smell the scent of a release coming soon?

Yeah, but if you look at the post above the to-do list, there still is :

Scripting: 90%
Text work (quotes/descriptions/events): 50%

But I am mightily impressed AlphaDelta

[Tharros]

They say 100% now

[♔Sherlock♔]

Is he trying to make a point here...

I might dance if he says released soon...

It will be released soon
AD is just ironing out some annoying CTD bugs.

Good it means there wont be a hoard of n00bs in the future moaning about instability. Come to think of it im impressed about the lack of people using the annoying phrase, 'OMG!11! When will this mod be released??? LOL!!111!'

Well you'd trust n00bs not to know how much of an annoyance expanded.txt is.

Me: OMG!11! When will this mod be released??? LOL!!111!

(everyone groans)

Me: What?

Unfortunately there's a bug that sometimes causes the game to crash right before the campaign starts. It's intermittent and very difficult to track down.

Tharros and I spent several hours tonight trying to work out exactly what was causing this. Many times we thought we had fixed the issue and each time it found a way to baffle and come back on us. I've attempted to use a file monitor to track what the game is loading, but so far I've been unable to find exactly what's it loading before the crash occurs.

I have made a final change that I thought might be the cause and have yet to experience the same CTD. Fingers crossed that this has cured the problem, however I wont be holding my breath.

I'm prepared to release it as-is, with the hope that someone who downloads the mod will have experienced the cause of this crash and will be able to help fix it.

The files are being packed and will be uploaded. I will post the mod in about 2 hours.

Cheers

GET READY EVERYONE ITS PARTY TIME!!!




Seriously though, is this with installer?

And I'm sure everyone will try their best to track down the problem.

That is amazingly fast work Alpha +rep again!

[AlphaDelta]

It's a self-extracting .exe file. You double click it, point it at your med2 folder, click install and it unpacks the mod folder and the shortcut.

From there the user can move the shortcut icon to where he would like it (desktop, start menu, shortcut menu etc).

Would this be the what you thought the quotes.txt was the cause of? I have encountered these errors before but I have never attempted to try and track them down, is there any chance its something in maps in the World folder?

Good luck sorting out the problem and im looking forward to the release.
