Maxstate Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 If I understand correctly, OJP has temporarily been removed from JK3files until we can: 1) Fix the (unexpected) bugs plaguing it 2) Introduce the reviewers into the whole thing so they have a better scope of the game. I'm taking full blame and responsibility on this one. Sorry :9
Mikouen Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 File is still intact, it's just locked until either sometime in December, or whenever I go in and uncheck the little box. Whichever comes first, probably the latter. At least, I think it's locked until December. I might have locked it until March 1980, dunno, just hit a random time on the menu since we only want it down for three hours at the most. It's reaso#1, mainly. I'm uploading a fresh - fixed - copy to the FTP, but if someone tries downloading the file while I'm trying to replace it, it'll corrupt both the file and the entry. But, #2 sounds good. Killing two birds with one stone. It's not your fault, to err is human. Just be glad you spotted the issues and fixed them so rapidly, eh?
Iron Herald Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Is one capable of changing the start points via create server menu or do we still need to meddle with cmds?
Maxstate Posted May 30, 2008 Author Posted May 30, 2008 There should be a command for it, yes :wtf: Edit: I mean before you start a a singleplayer game. I think it's best to utilize the server.cfg for servers.
razorace Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Is one capable of changing the start points via create server menu or do we still need to meddle with cmds? You should be able to. I think that was added a while ago.
DarthDie Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 So....OJP has been re released for an unknown reason recently(like in the last hour or so). Not sure wai but I would like to find out wai .
Mikouen Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Relabelled the file as 'RC1', no one told me another patch was due, heh. Also reprocessed the lock, so it shouldn't appear on the front page. Don't know why it didn't go through when Nozy did it, file certainly showed on the front page for me this morning.
Iron Herald Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 so with the removal, re-uploadal and all, when is the ETA of this update? I'm really psyched about trying it out but there seem to be a lot of delays.
Tanqexe Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Relax, we're slowly debugging so that the game won't get in a hitch when you guys play - y'all have been waiting this long for an official release with such patience, give it another day or so and you'll be hopping onto servers like mating bunnies in spring.
DarthDie Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Yeah as tanq said, we're making sure it works so it works without problem. And ETA I would say 2-3 days, although might take longer since we are going to get a more in depth review (which we'll have to show the jk3 files guys da ropez, then they'll have to write ze review).
Mikouen Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 So by the time you release it, it'll really be more like v1.3, heh?
Maxstate Posted May 31, 2008 Author Posted May 31, 2008 Well, we're surely going to do our best to make up for the disastrous previous release. So maybe V1.2: Release2; with some extra goodies.
JRHockney* Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 So by the time you release it, it'll really be more like v1.3, heh? Usually theres months between each release so 1.3 wont be for a while. We learned a while back that having a a new beta test release everytime theres new code created a ton of annoyance amount new players because we were always telling them to go get the newest version and there were often version conflicts that created bugs such as not being able to get ingame on a server with new code. As an example, for 0.0.9 it went 0.0.9a - 0.0.9v LOL. That's alot of versions Dont worry, we'll do our best to get this done quickly and thanks so much for your cooperation and patience.
The Unbeholden Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 I am displeased with your apparent lack of progress. (BREATH SOUND) The emperor is not as forgiving as I

That's alot of versions It's been 6+ months since the last release and a new version has been promised in "just a few more days" or "next week" for about half that (Max!). People don't want to be jerked around either. :| I think v0.1.2 needs to be released yesterday (after the crash/walk bugs get fixed) to keep the fans happy. After that, I think it could be followed up by monthly or bimonthly releases.
Maxstate Posted June 1, 2008 Author Posted June 1, 2008 gah I just wrote a huge post to reply to the bull**** and then promptly deleted it. I figure that if you understand what needs to be done and why things have been going as they have you wouldn't make remarks like that.
Iron Herald Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I understand what's going on and why, I'm just as impatient and excited as any other OJP fan in love, and sometimes it's hard not to express the frustration at the "Apparent Lack of Progress" or, as my endearing term for it goes, ALP. Just stoked to try it out is all.
Mikouen Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Well, hopefully my health will be up enough to enable me to make it to a playtest session tomorrow, then I can spend Friday writing the review and hopefully have it up by Saturday. Hopefully.
Tanqexe Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Well we can arrange a formal date, say Friday @ 8pm GMT+1 on TNTclan server so people know for certain when to come. That way you and your staff can know at least a day ahead of time and see if they can make it or not. It'd be great if most of your staff can make it - OJP's so much fun with more people.
DarthDie Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Well we just finally got somebody from jk3 files to play yesterday, and we'll be sending in OJP today or tomorrow and so hopefully it'll be out this week.
Maxstate Posted June 8, 2008 Author Posted June 8, 2008 What Darth said. We've done our part of the job, the wait was due to the way Murphy's law works.
