I've been working on a mod on my own for several months now that brings together a lot of the things that people have been asking for and really changes the game in a lot of significant ways. I'm looking for someone(s) that would be willing to help me beta test it and give me feedback on what needs to be changed and what needs to be added. I'm looking for experienced testers that know their way around the EaW directory (there's stuff everywhere) and ideally have some experience themselves. If you're interested, send me a PM and I'll get in contact with you with specifics about the mod. Thanks!

Check your PMs.

Count me as well.

Man, I don't even know whta beta means...let alone alpha  . Oh well...

Beta testing refers to a stage in a software lifecycle following the alpha stage. The alpha stage is when the main parts of the application are working, but there are still a lot of bugs and there's other stuff like models and textures and whatnot. The beta stage is "Feature complete" where everything is in, and you just have to get it working. Beta testing is working through the beta stuff to get everything working.

 

So, technically I'm not asking for beta testers. I'm looking for Q&A testers for balance and features. But, it's the same concept

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ok. So alpha is like where the game's core operations are generally being developed and the beta is where they are testing the game to get it working and fix bugs and balance issues.

In a word, yes.

I may beta test too if you need an EAW Hardcore Player!

Perhaps. If I give you .txt, .alo, .ala, .dds, .meg, .xml, and .ted files, would you know where they all go just based on their filenames?

 

Also, I've decided to edit the Home One files to say "Ackbar is also extremely adept at detecting traps."

 

Just a little inside humor for everyone.

 

And I've decided to name it the Monkey Mod. Why? Because I'm Monkey, and it's my mod!

Yes I perfectly know the structure of EAW. I have also mixed different mods.

So thrust me. I could assemble the mod in seconds. Just give me files.

Send me a Pm with a link where to take the files.

And the file is off. A big thanks for everyone that's agreed to beta test. You guys will get a shout out when I release this thing publically

Uhm, one minor problem: my download url isn't workin.

 

I suggest using http://www.rapidshare.de for your mod. 'Tis what I use when I do those kinds of files.

Rapidshare it is. Expect a PM when it's up.

ALO?

ALA?

 

You're a modeler!?

I think he is.

I have tried to test the mod but it doesn't work. Probably errors in the xml files.

Haha, I wish. I borrow other people's models. I'm a coder by trade, and I work with XML a lot at my job.

oh no, not a new sonic0

Oh whatever. Just remember: Someone has to put the units in the game while the art boys make them look pretty

I resent that kelathin, i am learining how to model, and i am starting to pick it it up, i am currently working on a providence cruiser

Plus, if it wasnt for us highly skilled coders, none of the mods would be half what they are, models and skin are only half the mod my friend

actually Skin+animation+Model is 3/4 the mod, code is 1/5, maps the other 1/5. Simple fractions besides means I'm kidding... jesus christ

If you're such a "skilled coder", then why didn't you fix the CIS trooper's alpha channel bug? It's one simple line of code.
