Yeah. After this i kinda want to continue my work with Demonic Puppy Games rather than make a more solid team out of our bunch.
Anyhoo. Lets get some shit over with:
1. This mod will be finished. Stop asking, commenting on its near-death experiences. Me and Daubster at least have the passion to finish it. The rest of the team, while i get the feeling don't share the same passion, are all A-grade mappers and will get the job done.
2. The workload we have, while large, does not excuse the current age of the mod's development. (2 years, 9 months)
I mostly blame
? My poor leadership. First time leading a team, and it's really difficult when you don't all share the same communication methods to chase people.
? People leaving and screwing us over. <cough>Unbreakable</cough>
? Negative input from a lot of you lot. It might sound stupid, but seriously. when the general feeling is that nobody fucking cares anymore, it gets harder and harder to work on this.
3. fucking gutted @ lack of new weapons.
Muzz: Please finish your map. It was "almost done" a year ago. ONE map. ffs.
Srry: Increase pace a bit, perhaps? Keep me informed more.
Kasperg: Keep me informed more.
Daubster : Increase pace a bit? Be careful with the new story elements in your chapter.
Me: Get. Hammer 3.5. Working.
Gargly: lolwut? helloooo? :'(

Hunter, next to the weapons i also lost the crowbar replacement i made for the competition here(thats why it never came in muzz). I lost a couple of planes i was working on for flightsim, some more then 50 hours of work into them...and i lost the Troll-A platform i was working on for FS-ODG.. So yeah, im rather fucked/pissed/etc about it.

How do you guys always manage to loose something. BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP. I had 3 HDD failures this year, but didn't loose ANYTHING. So wtf? lern2bakup you fools.

3 HDD failures?
I've had my system drive for 5 or so years, and it's still working.

I my experience HDD's always fall into two categories:
1) Those that break very quickly
2) Those that last longer than expected
It's very strange, they never seem to fail mid-life.
Unless of course, you hit them with something

There was a 3 year warranty on the first HDD. And it managed to break in the last days of it. Then they gave me the second, which broke after a week, and another which replaced the second, which also broke after a month. And now they gave the fourth one. Hope this one doesn't die.

lol, hard drive failures. All of my hard drives work fine:
500MB (Power Mac 7200/75)
4GB (iPod mini)
10GB (IBM Aptiva)
120GB (Current HP)
250GB (MyBook)
I've dropped each one at least a few times, turned off the computer while writing a big file, etc. That doesn't make me careless though, I make backups.

3. fucking gutted @ lack of new weapons.Not including any custom weapons is a bad idea for a mod this big. If Muzz doesn't want to code them, and if he doesn't mind, I can take that part over.
Pepper: We all have the compiled weapon models. Wasn't there some .mdl decompiler, that you could use to get the editable meshes back?

Post #233287
I just buy good hard drives. Seagate, Western Digital, etc. Not that I don't back up, just not much.
P.S. I don't have those models. :

Oh yes, it was the backup that failed, wich at that point wasnt copyed yet. So i didnt have a backup from the backup, nor the original files. classic i reckon.
I'm not quite sure Daub. I'd have to look into that.

No. I'd need like a few hundred of them, and if I lost one, i'd be fucked. Same with DVDs too, but I can't burn DVDs.

Are those things just on 45 degree angles or did you rotate them? No way are you that good at vertex manipulation.
...lol team communication.
Also, we're on our 99th page in small-screen TWHL. Woohoo.

I just can't map with vista, so i've been looking around for a cheapo win2k machine to map on.
I thought the rest of the team were doing well?
God damnit i wish you'd keep me more updated ?_?

No i do not think so.
But it'd be ironic that this be the thread that kills TWHL2 as it killed the original TWHL if i'm not mistaken.
is there anything i could do to help, fellas?

I haven't heard a word from any of you for a long time, I had kinda assumed you all died or something.
Hunter talk to me on MSN or something, really.
If you and the mod are in fact, still alive, I'll go back and remake the parts I lost when my HDD failed (Took my Reissues map too, and I was pissed about that and stopped mapping for a while.)

Just out of interest is Reissues still going? I was mapping for it myself a long long long long long time ago.
Also I would love to see HS finished but Vista has disabled the team leader.

Make a huuuuuge checklist of everything thinkable and start organizing it. Thats how I keep it together.
Seeing that percent mathematically jump up by 1.7% by doing a few small things is incredibly enlightening, and you can give an accurate percent done.
Re-assess the situation (hostage situation... snxxxx...) regroup and start where you left off.
Like Laceter said,

Well, I wish that was true in the mapping world, but it would seem that if you hate creating something it's not going to turn out being a fun product, unfortunately.
By the way Saw, I prefer the small avatars to the large oversized ones. If I could get more posts per page, I would.
