i just downloaded a TON of custom maps and some bot waypoints, when dod 1.1 comes out, will i need to update each and every one of these maps and the bot waypoints? thanks in advance...

1.1 won't have anything drastic that will stop 1.0 maps running on 1.1 however if a new featuer comes in some cusotm maps MAY be updated. don't worry you'll only have to replace a couple at msot and thats a bit after 1.1 comes out.

Actually...waypoints will be needed for the two new maps...plus Charlie had some brush changes that will require new waypoints...as does Forest and Zalec. Glider drops in 1.2 and it will need new waypoints too (I'll probably give a copy of the new glider to Godcha ahead of time...speaking of that...I need to get him the finished flug too)

Glider drops? are you talking about the allies actually coming in, in the gilders or something else?

hahaha nice pun there fuzzdad.:p

drops in as in 'gets updated in version 1.2'

:) And...news from testing last night...might get the updated Glider in 1.1 if I can move fast enough w/fixes/changes.

I guess that means the release candidate sent over to Activision is not the final candidate...

Why would we need waypoints for the new maps Fuzz? Are you simply stating the obvious that if you want to play with bots, waypoints will be needed, or is there going to be a new "role" for the waypoints like extra infantry in a map that don't take up server space so you could have more than 32 soldiers in a map. I am guessing the former is what you were talking about, but it would be cool if you had 32 people fighting in a server plus some bots to create more action!

no...you missed my point...a lot of folks play dod with bots only because they have limited internet availability or thier connection is so bad it makes playing near to impossible...others still (like me) use the bots to test their maps. All I'm saying is that I should get Godcha a final release copy of flugplatz before we release 1.1 so he can make the waypoints and have them avialable on release day to those who want them.

Jello_Biafra: Stuff sent to Activision (or whomever tests...I really don't know) comes back with bugs like "Glider: Can get stuck behind brush X in grid square XY"...there's usually enough time before final release to iron those out...these fixes don't usually require extensive testing...just a verification that it's fixed is usually sufficient.

Plus, in terms of packaging something for release, maps are pretty distinct from code and code changes.

Glider in 1.1 would be nice. :)

i hope we do get the new glider :) fuzzdad glider is one of the best maps out and it can only get better wih your new update.

Are you still going to have your Enigma easter egg? I thought all of them got killed in 1.0, but now I usually just blow the radio and hang out in the Fuzzdad room until I get killed.

That, would be awsome.
