This is just a message to all those people following the Warhammer mod,

im sad to say that Ploeperpengal, the guy who has invested the most time and effort in the production of this mod for years now, had decided to step down from leadership and focus on art work for FfH and WH.

here is what ploep said:

Thx guys. I think I will continue modding and be online more often again allthough I will focus more on modelling for FFH now. Honestly I don't quite feel to have the ability and time to lead the Warhammer project further and hope someone else might take over and put back the drive into it. This project needs a vision and for me sadly I can't say I have that anymore.
It was a pleasure to work with you guys and I wish you all the best. Of course I will still be here for technical problems if you encounter any you need help with.

Sorry

Ploep

so id just like to say, on behalf of everyone to Ploep, thanks for all your hard work and persistance with this mod, if has really become a LOT more than i ever expected it to be.

 

[Ajidica]

Could you continue it? From what I can tell, in the FfH build, you have done the second most amount of work. Dont let it die, it feels really close to feeling finished. I think full pedia texts would help alot.

 

[Ahriman]

Understandable. Thanks Ploep. Shame though, this mod had a lot of potential.

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

I never said the mod was dead i fully intend on keeping it running, and still have every intention of finishing it.

im going to write out a long term design plan for the mod so i can get my bearings after this long break of no-modding that im in, what we have, what needs to be finished, what needs to be fixed. what each addition will require work wise. Id like to see how much of what we need done is within my capabilities, and then ill finish as much of that off as i can and then either teach myself the other modding methods like python and C++ if necessary, or enlist another programmer to help us out.

id like to be more organised that i was with my minimods

also i think im going to need some more team members to help with this, because it looks like im the last of the serious members left. Kai dosnt check the forums often (due to technical difficulties), Masada has lost interest, and Ploep has stepped down...

if you are interested please PM me, bonus points will be given to those who know how to mod, but that is not essential, also, id really appreciate it if you are genuinely interested in helping out for the long run, not just for a week or 2 . ive got a couple of people id like to ask if theyre interested and they'll get a PM from me now

 

[Ahriman]

Ah, awesome, sounds great. I have no coding ability and limited time, but I'm happy to continue to help out with design decisions, project priority and balance suggestions.

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

Id like to officially welcome Ahriman to the Team hes going to help with design and balance decisions as well as anything else that takes his fancy
thanks Ahriman! and welcome

 

[Ahriman]

Muahahaha! Now, I shall rule you all!

 

[Ajidica]

I could help with XML and I am learning how to skin. I cant help alot hough as I am working on my own mod and I have other things going on.

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

Id also like to officially welcome Humakty to the WH Team he will be helping out with WH lore and Playtesting, balancing and general ideas as well as anything else he feels like doing
So another big thanks and welcome to Humakty!

Muahahaha! Now, I shall rule you all!

hahahaha

I could help with XML and I am learning how to skin. I cant help alot hough as I am working on my own mod and I have other things going on.

thanks for the offer, but if you already have plans, its probably not a good idea doubling up on mods (from experience it gets stressful)

 

[frenzyslave]

Sad news, but good luck Ploerp... Your units are wicked!

Id join da team and learn stuff but RLBS is majorally in conflict with that and it aint going to end any time soon... I can continue to be a fan with the occasional idea though

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

thats ok Frenzy, RL is more important and ideas are good

 

[Ajidica]

I can still skin a building or two. It is fun to get away from doing alot of greys and blacks like I am doing in my current mod. I cant creat models though and my skinning isnt the greatest. Anything is better than alot of buildings that look the same.

 

[orlanth]

Sorry to hear that Ploperpengel's stepping down from the lead role.. I'm sure it will be in good hands with P_L who has already contributed much with the minimods etc. I've recently been learning some Python and XML and would be glad to pitch in with that & some design ideas when required. (And as you know, I have an extensive amount of bizarre audio and am always happy to contribute a clip )

I want to add that this mod is definitely far from "dead", as even in this beta stage it is in fact already quite fun and playable (at least for me!) So I'm sure it will only continue to improve; realistically these things are always somewhat of a gradual process, as everyone has some RL commitments and will make contributions gradually over time.

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

thanks for the offer to help Orlanth ill pm you about joining
