[azzacanth]

It says it has 50 minutes left.

 

[azzacanth]

50 minutes left! wow, how big is the file? Or is the connection just slow?

Slow connection, Im in Europe right now and away from my wonderful cable modem.

The mod is 125meg compressed.

 

[azzacanth]

ok, that's not TOO bad.

Taking time out in Europe to post your mod eh? I guess you feel your rabid fans would devour you otherwise...if they saw the civ patch come come out and no post from you....
Me, I never would've known the civ patch was out, except the forum sends me emails when this thread is updated. *grins*


EDIT: will 1.0 install in its own folder?

 

[TheJopa]

God be praised!!! I'll download patch and 1,00 tomorrow if I go to the game club (they have DSL). And I'm going to check what patch brings, it will surely improve gameplay.

Yeah, 1.0 installs in its own folder.

I think Im probably more excited about releasing 1.0 than anyone. Its been sitting here staring at me for over 2 months just waiting for today to come.

 

[TheJopa]

If I'm not wrong, SDK is also out! So from this day phase 2 isn't so...abstract anymore. Keep us informed about anything important you do in phase 2!

The SDK release was actually what I was waiting for. I used it to make 1.0 and couldn't release until the SDK came out.

 

[TheJopa]

And we all thought it was just patch. For what part did you need SDK?

 

[JDexter]

What exactly did you need from the SDK for 1.0?
Great that you could finally release this, now I might even touch Civ4 again, have been distracted by other games since FfH stopped getting updated!

(Ooops, TheJopa was faster since I forgot to hit submit on the post-preview )

Remeber that list of stuff I had to take out of the mod to release 0.95. Those were the things I used the SDK to make. Off the top of my head it included:

1. Allowing the drown, fireballs and meteors to travel on land and water.
2. Keeping animals around forever.
3. Spell combat ends instantly (you dont see people fighting fireballs anymore).
4. Added the Marksman ability.

The rest of the stuff was minor bug fixes. I didnt want to do much in 1.0, just those things I absolutly thought the mod needed. Phase 2 has a lot more SDK changes.

Please oh Please don't tell me I'll have to download another 100 and something megs! I just downloaded 0.95g a few days ago and it took a painfully long amount of time!

(off-topic: I happen live in Europe. And don't whine that it'll be uploaded in 50 minutes. I'll have to download it in quite a few hours. Ah, whatever... )

Yes, Im afraid it will be an entirely new download. Sorry.

 

[Kael]

Its up! Enjoy!

 

[TheJopa]

My guess is that phase 2, with so much units and stuff, will be about 250 megs. But it will worth it.

 

[evanb]

Ah, well... At least I know it's worth the waiting!
BTW, didn't you say somewhere that 1.0 will be patchable, or something like that? No more huge downloads (from my point of view)? Or did I read it somewhere else?

Currently downloading 1.61 for CIV and before I start with FfH 1.0 I'll show the entire world that the Halfling Empire is the most cultured of them all, even if it only has 5 main towns and 2 culture-flipped from my neighbours the Merfolk.

Yeah, its going to be huge. Mostly because of the incredible units that the art folks are making.

Yes, my plan is that all of the major versions will support patching. So if issues are reported with 1.0 I will update the main file and release a patch so you don't have to download the whole thing again. We did it with 0.95 (which got up to g) and it worked pretty well.

But patching won't work between the major versions (there won't be a 1.0 to phase 2 patch).

Uploading FfH 1.0 now!

Hurray! I love you kael!
