Patch or full mod?!

**Basileos Leandros I** · January 20, 2006, 06:23 AM

What can we expect from EB?!
What will you guys release? A patch for the BETA or a full mod?

I want a patch that doesn't destroy my save games. I worked much to create a big Seleukid Empire stretching from Egypt to China(including Sauromatae terriotories, Asia Minor, the whole Seleukid dominions, Arabia, Baktria, Yuezhi and Pahlav territories).

I'd rather lose my savegames if the price would be a patch that fixes all fatal bugs (ctds and recruitment problems)
I don't think a final version would be available very soon taking in count the amount of work left to be done (500 units it's A LOT of work not to mention the traits and ancilaires are just at 45% completed)

**swabian** · January 20, 2006, 09:14 AM

traits&ancillaries NOT completed? hellz, aren't they enough?

**Malrubius** · January 20, 2006, 08:03 PM

Apparently not.

**Basileos Leandros I** · January 21, 2006, 09:59 AM

I am in 250BC and no CTD's so far.

I even completed the mission with Megas Alexandros!!!

Me great. Me have big empire.

Me love EB.
Me love love full EB.

It'll probably be a mix of both. Probably go along the lines of new versions will have "major" changes in them, while the patches will fix things, A: Worked but we messed up, or B: Never worked and needs to be fixed, or C: Anything not covered in either A or B.

I really can't wait until the next patch. Even if I lose my savegames (and my Makedon one is getting quite interesting) it would be good to clear up some of the CTD's and get some new models/skins happening.

This is a great mod, very enjoyable. Keep it up, guys

**Boudicca** · January 23, 2006, 07:19 AM

Just keep your project "open community" and release bug fixes and small patches in a new version just as far as you are. I could live with that very well. I am awfully tired of millions of previews of projects that in the end never see the light of day.

If it is working, always release what you have. So your community will grow with the mod and people will finde constant motivation (you might even have new people joining the team). Most important: You will stay on the top list and attract attention, and that seems to be what a mod needs for existence these days.

You are doing a great job, why not share it!!!

hey hate to be a nag but, any approximation for the patch?

I'm just itching to start another campaign , however I'd hate to get caught in a pickle and really get into it if there will be a patch soon, which may or may not be savegame compatible

**Malrubius** · January 31, 2006, 07:40 AM

If/When there is a patch, it won't be savegame compatible. At least the traits won't be.

**Anonymous Researcher** · January 31, 2006, 07:45 AM

Will the new patch be compatible with 1.5/1.6?

**Malrubius** · January 31, 2006, 07:48 AM

Not the one I'm working on. Porting to 1.5 will be much bigger than just a little patch.

**Basileos Leandros I** · January 31, 2006, 10:46 AM

Yeah, true. Porting to 1.5 is really a big business. It takes a lot of time because of the different codes and scripts.

Too bad it won't be savegame compatible.

but they are working on porting to 1.5, right?

**Malrubius** · January 31, 2006, 01:32 PM

I guess I could leave the traits out, as a separate patch or something. Maybe I'll post a savegame compatible set of trait fixes for people who don't want to mess up their games. I think the units, buildings, and such are savegame compatible, I guess map changes aren't.

**Teleklos Archelaou** · January 31, 2006, 02:18 PM

I'm getting immediate CTD's trying to play save games (even recent ones) with some of the new changes mal, so I just don't think it will be possible to keep it compatible.

**spirit_of_rob** · January 31, 2006, 02:47 PM

I dont mind which we get.

although my epirus campain is gettin fun now

so would be a shame to loose t but if the trade is less buggy verion thats good enough for me

**Teleklos Archelaou** · January 31, 2006, 03:29 PM

The goal is to port to 1.5 it seems. And a few movements have been made for this, but not much yet. We've been trying to get rid of problems in the current OB and add some more things that have been in production. Hopefully you'll see a (incompatible with save games) patch soon that will get rid of some of the basic CTD issues and add more traits and banners and small fixes.

There is still the big nasty "AI merging armies" CTD that we have no idea why it's happening though. It's not common and can be gotten around (with a hassle), but still it seems to be our biggest bug currently.

That's the only thing I care about. I can't even enjoy my newly started Macedonian campaign because of the permanent CTD that's happening 5 turns in.
