Title: Forgotten Hope News Update: 6th January 2010
Post by: azreal on 06-01-2010, 23:01:55
Update coming within the hour, but most likely sooner. Sorry for the delay. Quick note, the server files will be released as soon as they are complied. At the moment, we've decided to go on with the update without them.

Silly people, server files are for server admins.  You want client files.

Can't wait till Friday.

maybe the Molotov will be used in Greece, AFAIK the Sticky bomb weren't used then.
Maybe they will just be used where one side don't have proper AT weapons, or just as a kick ass pick-up kit.

The flare gun that can shoot HE rounds sounds really interesting!
But what about those weapons like the Volksgeweher, Volkssturmgewehr or that LW Drilling? They don´t sound like they´re casual front-line weapons that belong to the current Normandy and comming Ardennes scenario. Is it just my weird mind or does that smell like a late war Volkssturm scenario where we have to defend the rubble of Berlin against the Soviets? Or am I just interpreting too much?

**ATTENTION**

The dedicated server files have been added to the update. You do not need to download them if you don't plan to host a dedicated FH2 server.

On that note, not everything in the changelog will be included in 2.25.

I accidentally paused the seed.  Oopsies.

Now Seeding at about 30kb/s.  My sister is on her computer, so that's probably as good as you're gonna get from me.

I'll try to seed at least 1:1 ratio, but I have to turn it off if my brother uses the computer since he'll bitch about lag or something.

Deuce-and-a-half: :-*

  * Add Wip C47. Needs Lods and 1p Cockpit.  (gunnie)
Hmmm... 1p Cockpit... and yet they said that there wouldn't be a Normandy paradrop map since the scaling would make it silly (even though it's 150+ km from mainland Greece to Crete and the Crete portion of the map is a scaled representation of about 60 km of the island's shoreline...)

  * Crete: MTO german plane skins (lobo)
OMG new Stuka & 109 skins! *fapfapfapfap*

  * Pointe du Hoc 64 and 32: Tickets tweak and C47/P51 flybys (lobo)
Uh.... paradrops had been made already at previous night, even the glider reinforcements landed at 0400 hours -- follow-up drops were only made after 2100 hours on D-Day. So thanks, but no thanks.

  * JagDPanther WIP for Toddel to review.  NEEDS WORK!!! (gunnie)
GERMAN BIAS...! no, wait, that's a good thing if we get MOAR KITTAH!

  * H39 series (sethsoldier)

To answer the claymore question: Both are known as Claymores.

The Basket Hilted Claymore and the Two Handled (Highland) Claymore

One made famous by William Wallace etc, the other used by Highland Clans during the 17 century.

New FH2 download is complete.  The torrent speeds are really great.  Just as good as a direct link. 

"Tweaks to Flyovers (removed mini-map icons). Additional Tweak to overheat schedule on Mustang and P-47 (gunnie)"

I read the above in the changelog.  Does this mean that planes overheat and have no mini-map now?

I think it's two different things.  First one is that are unmanned planes that fly over the map on a schedule, and they don't minimap icons (I'm assuming at one point they did).  The second is that the .50 cals on the P51 and P47 now overheat differently than they did previously.

Of course, I'm not a Dev or Betatester, so those are just guesses...

Post by: Gunnie on 07-01-2010, 06:01:01
Not to burst any bubbles, but you guys do know that some of the stuff listed here is internal stuff in developement. It might be in the mod, but it may not be spawning upon a map at the moment and/or it may crash your game if you do try to spawn it or use it. If we did not put it on a map.. Then it is advisable that you not put it on a map, as it might not work 100%.

Also, some stuff shows up as it is "uploaded/committed" to our developers builds for the dev team to review, test and or fix. It may be items that are just in the dev build of the mod, but not in the build that is released, even though, it shows up in the change-log.

In regards to the C-47.. There is a flyable version of it now.. Much like the Ju-52 on Crete. It does fly very nicely, but it is not totally completed. While a great looking model in the 3p and interior cabin. The cockpit is in need of some 1p highly detailed work, so that it matches with our other aircraft in the 1p cockpit area.

With regard to the JagDPanther.. WIP version that I created/modeled and uploaded for our expert modeler Toddel to review/rework/redo or throw away. (Remember, Gunnie, "Me", is the coder/exporter.. I do some modeling when I HAVE to, but I am no modeling expert like Toddel, Agus, PointBlank, Darren, Rad, Seth or Tibow. Hence, why I uploaded it for it to be checked out.)

The H39 series are still WIP's.. I have them in the tank barn, building them for Seth. I am close to pushing them out of the assembly building and onto the test map.

Alot of the weapons listed in the changelog are not completed. Some are and will be added to the mod. Some are still WIPs and you may or may not see them in this release. I can't speak totally on the weapon end, as the weapons are not the area that I work within. (Kevin and Killi do this part of the mod.)

In either case, this release will be alot of fun and have alot of stuff, but don't throw bricks and rocks at us if something on the changelog is not in the build or does not work if you try to spawn it, as it may still be a WIP.

It is just the changelog picks up everything that we commit to the developer build.

I see great things in the change log, like:

 * Airplane Tweaks and additions.  (gunnie)
 * Airplane Tweaks and additions.  Fixed CTD on mouse scroll for FW190 ALT and BF109E ALT. (gunnie)

Glad to see the crash is fixed, I no longer have to be scared that I forget not to use the mouse scroll.

The other airplane tweaks, is this a complete overhaul form the current plane physics or just tweaks for the new planes added.

I got one question "If you have an unmodified version of 2.2, then you will need to only download the 2.25 patch (814MB)"

unmodified mean?and modified?can someone explain it?

Some people change the game. if you havnt touch it you will have no problem. you can install the patch over 2.2.

Yeah, modify as in, you add something in the game content. Use 3rd party re-coded vehicle & weapon AI etc etc. Or add your own SP support to some of FH2 official maps (like i did).

What i need to do is back up all my work, re-install FH2.2 and patch it with 2.25, and see if my works in 2.2 still work with 2.25.

I do not believe these modify any of FH2's .zip files, they simply add more files. Thus they *should* be fine.

You will need to reinstall FH2.2. If you didn't take backups and you do not have the installer, you will need to redownload it aswell. The patch will not overwrite it, instead it will say verifying failed and will not install.

Its against the rules to win 1st place two years in a row IIRC, and you only get an honourable mention if you make worse then you did last year.

It fails, because before it patches the zip file, it checks it's MD5 code. If you've repacked the zip file ever, it will not patch.

It is, having custom maps has no effect on the mod itself. IIRC a broken map for BF1942 could prevent the game from starting though.

* Airplane Tweaks and additions.  Fixed CTD on mouse scroll for FW190 ALT and BF109E ALT. (gunnie)
This interests me, what was the problem?

That...was just for the P-47 and P-51. Gunnie likes to screw with us testers and not put a name or anything in the title of his commits the to mod. :/

The issue with the FW190 with the bomb on the bottom was the scroll of the mousewheel and the icon displayed when you scrolled the wheel. For some reason, there was a conflict with these icons and how they were being displayed.

If you scrolled too fast, you'd CTD. Therefore, to stop the CTD. I just disabled the ability to scroll the icons with the mouse wheel. I think the issue was that it did not like the combination of select icons. ie.. A select icon on the nose mg's, along with icons for the wing cannon and the alternate icon for selection of the 500kg bomb.

As for flying tweaks.. Mostly done to the P-47 and P-51, but depending on how these are recieved by the community. I may do some more tweaking to the other aircraft, but for now. I need to see how the interaction between the airplanes turns out.

I do know that some do not like "short take-off runs".  That was originally done to allow the airplanes to use smaller areas on the maps to get airborne. Now that we are getting more purpose built "aviation focused" maps. I can go back and do some re-working on this.

I know that some do not like how the "Typhoon" flies and others do not like the "FW-190".  However, I can't please everyone and everybody, I can only take a cross-section of everyone's opinion and try and make things work in a manner that the majority can agree upon.

With the comments I recieved from the test group on the P-47 and P-51. I think I am getting closer to how things should or could be. Now we just need to see how all of the stuff stacks up against one another. Remember, this is a WWII first person shooter mod and not a flight simulator game.  Therefore, things are not always going to be exactly like the real thing. As there is no way to make it that way. However, I do try and have tried to give each airplane its own identity in how it flies.

In the end, it is all a great big experiment and work in progress when it comes to the airplanes.

So what you mean to say is: BF2 ;) I guess I need to test the same thing with the I-16, as it has the same set-up as the 109 bomber.

Since the mirrors aren't passworded, they don't release them until they release the password.

The way to play ASAP is to get the torrent then just punch in the password, extract and install.  If you don't like torrents, you have to wait for a mirror, then wait to download while everyone who had the torrent is already playing.
