What is the deal here??...
All this talk of people re-dedicating to this mod after done with school, etc., has seemed to have gone nowhere.
Whats the OFFICIAL point we're at with this mod?
Does it work? Will it work? Are we still getting too many errors? Are these errors able to be fixed? Do we have people that know how to fix these errors?
Is the mod going to run as planned - with all the civs, etc?...
Whats the deal? There are tidbits of rambling here and there, but no one really knows what is going on at this point.
What are the answers to those above questions?...Is this going to happen, or it is looking like Civ5 will be out before this ever actually gets released in a working format?
Please, there's no need for this. I'm
still busy with school - there's no way around that - and for much of the free time I have, I've got to revise or practise or work. I thought I was giving this a bit of a kick when I uploaded the new version of the mod to the SVN (now based on RevDCM). Yes, there are still errors that need to be worked out, but I need help with that.
Officially, I have no idea where we're at. A lot of people have done a lot of work, but I've seen very little of it actually come through. I have Bahmo's civics and the work that was done on civs, but not much else. If anyone reading this has anything to upload, please tell me, or send it to me, or just say that you're still working on it. I can't do this alone.
Does it work? Not really. Will it work? Yes, if I get help. The errors are many, but most are very, very easy XML fixes. Anyone with 5 minutes to boot the game can fix them.
What is the hold up with this?
Can no-one provide a 60 civ dll?
Has anyone been allocated to deal with this?
Who is project managing the project now?
Are we to assume that DVS has abandoned this?
If so can Niknaks drive this through?
We desperately need someone who knows how to do the technical engineering to grab this mod by the scruff of the neck and drive it through.
Sorry for stating the obvious and beleive me i wish i was a modder, but this mod is such a great idea and so much work has been done it would be a shame to let it fal to pieces. The nature of voluntary global internet based work is that no-one owes anyone anything and it can be hard to communicate, but we are crying out for an able modder amongst the team to drive this through.
If anyone feels like me and knows how to provide a 60 civ dll can they please do so?
Come on!
Without the work of others to add, I have no idea how much is going to be in the next release. That's the hold-up. I need people to upload their stuff. If I've missed it, I apologize, but I'm sure I've got almost everything I can find. The 60-civ DLL is a relatively minor thing compared to the issue of collecting the work. I'm sure Genghis will be able to work with the new version I've uploaded, which is built for 50.
Not that it's in any way official, but I'm running the mod in DVS' absence, whenever I have a spare minute. I'm sure he hasn't abandoned this. Like me, he's probably being crushed by work as well. Cut him some slack, please.
So, where are we? Nowhere, unless other people, who
do have time and who
can work on this help. As I've said, unless you can wait for years, I can't do this alone. Help me out here, guys.
