Yep I can't wait for RS 2 just like the many others of you out there.

In truth I'm asking just one thing from the creators of this brilliant mod; In what timeframe will RS 2 be released?

[MarcusTullius]

Last i checked it would be "more than a month less than a year" (but that was a while ago so might have changed)
They're perfectionists and we love em for it

Thats why the mod is so good

Still cant wait for the awesome end product

[Daus Maximus Jade]

End product... I doubt that Dvk will like the saying
RS can be polished till the end of times (at least until the dev's are sick of it), and that is partially why I love it so much. But I agree with the fact that every new version is awaited eagerly and every patch is seen as a whole new piece of fun.

We were hoping to have it ready by Christmas, but I don't think that's likely anymore -- there's such an enormous amount of work to do revamping an entire mod. Even though our 'key' people (dvk, tone, AE, Squid and Baxon), who are actually modding the .txt and .tga files and creating the units, are working as fast as they can, the sheer volume of work is going to require another 2 or 3 months.

This is why dvk has put such effort into the new patch, which we're now calling RS 1.5 -- it's a much more polished version of the original RS, which will give everyone something to keep them busy over the holidays.

Regarding 2.0 - the good news is that much of the 'heavy lifting' is done -- the map is playable, the new factions are all selected and being worked on, and a working beta is up and running.

So I think we can upgrade the timeframe to 'more than month, less than six months.' And probably sooner than that.

Have patience -- hopefully the faction previews have demonstrated the high quality we're shooting for across the board; from units, to faction selection, to map, to traits and ancilliaries, to battle stats and AOR -- everything is going to be far beyond what you've played in RS before...

The reason i love RS so much is beacuse i know that it'll be well worth the wait...you guys are doing a brilliant job

[Daus Maximus Jade]

Hurray 4 that then! Thanks for the reply!

The good news is that there are now another couple of guys helping out with skinning / modelling.

In terms of skins / models -

all the eastern units are modelled, just a few sarmatian units awaiting skinning
pretty much all greek units modelled, apart from one or two remaining ptolemaic units and some unique units for Sparta (first swap faction)
work well under way with celtic units

but yes I agree we've got another few months left still.

Does this mean that a new preview will be out soon?

[zznɟ ǝɥʇ]

Thanks for the update team.

I remember when you first said Christmas it seemed so far away, now it's so close, and waiting a few months more is small change.

[tone]

We've probably got about half the first celtic faction skinned. We've managed to create and skin 5 new models this week for them, so work is going ahead well.

Here's one if anyone missed it....a celtic swordsman. The others are to this standard.



I would say about another 2-3 weeks before a preview comes out

[Daus Maximus Jade]

2-3 weeks... so long... but hell, I can deal! We really get a lotta bang for uhm... no buck?
By the way now that I looked closer, will this unit have some sort of a javelin-throwing-thingy? It is sticking out of his shield, so I think that it is self-explanatory, but just to know for sure...

Yes it does have javs.

Wasn't there a thread about RS 1.5? I can't seem to find it now. How's the progress on the patch?

[Daus Maximus Jade]

I think that's the thread http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=130300

Or not, I wouldn't know heh At least that's the closest that I can find
As for progress, I think that they are still beta-testing it... hope that it comes out soon

[Octavius-Augustus]

I know about the sticky thread, I was talking about a 'New patch RS 1.5 coming' or something like that I also know the RS team is beta-testing.. But how is that progressing? Maybe someone from the team could answer...

It's on page 2. Upcoming Hotfix: 1.10d

[aja5191]

We're beta-testing 1.5, and it should be out pretty soon - no major issues reported yet.

In fact, I'm off to go play some 1.5 now!


Suckas......

[Daus Maximus Jade]

I don't know about the thread, other then that stickied one...
And as for the beta-testing progress - I would too like to know if there has been any progress... They promised to get the patch out before too long...

[Octavius-Augustus]

Now that's just NASTE.. But I'm glad there are no problems for now. Waiting...

[Daus Maximus Jade]

aja you are mean

In fact, I think I'm gonna go and... play 1.10c... GRRRRRRRR!!!

Is there a set date to release it yet?
