CoolColJ Posted April 7, 2000 Share Posted April 7, 2000 I'm losing patience with the beta demo, and the HD crash didn't exactly help either, nothing drops your motivation faster than having to go back and redo a texture that you did pretty well in the first place anyway I may release the tweaked tetxure in its uncomplete form at the end of this week, I'll clean up the semi-completed stuff. there are quite a few things that are still from the original - I would have prefered to change everything, and go back and redo the Stug, but the time for beta demo is drawing to an end so a desicion has to be made...plus its something I do in my free time, and that's something that I don't have a lot of Sorry to dissappoint. ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!!

Guest GriffinCheng Posted April 7, 2000 Share Posted April 7, 2000 Never a disappoinment CCJ, you have done very well indeed and spend a lot of your time. I can say for the rest but myself, I have been waiting for your work since you have posted your version 2.0 textures. Just post the files and I will get it. Let's look at this issue from another angle: we are less than 8 weeks from The Real Thing, just look forward to make it better. I hope for the same thing too. Cheer up!

Mike D Posted April 7, 2000 Share Posted April 7, 2000 CoolColJ, Sorry to hear about the HD crash. That really sucks. On a positive note, I have liked what you have done so far and definitely look forward to seeing what you come up with for the final game. Hang in there, it will be worth it. I think many of us will enjoy trying out your hard work. All the best, Mike D aka Mikester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PeterNZ Posted April 8, 2000 Share Posted April 8, 2000 yeah, bud, release man any change will be fun for us seasoned, (read bored?) beta demo players! Give us something to talk about for a couple of weeks till we have other stuff to talk about! We all love what we've seen and it's been great fun to watch developments! So don't beat yourself up too much man, just do what ya need to do! PeterNZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertFox Posted April 8, 2000 Share Posted April 8, 2000 Well maybe, But at least the new building textures, the Normandy style half-timbering, the new church are definitively worth the download. cheers Helge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ol' Blood & Guts Posted April 11, 2000 Share Posted April 11, 2000 CCJ, are we there yet? What's the status of TTv2.0? Waiting for Gold Demo or what? [This message has been edited by Ol' Blood & Guts (edited 04-10-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolColJ Posted April 11, 2000 Author Share Posted April 11, 2000 Well with only a month to go, I figure there is no point me releasing my tetxures now, I will use them in my CM gold version enhancement package. I one of those people that doesn't like to release unfinished stuff as it would directly reflect my reputation sorry Anyway when the gold demo comes out - you will most likely forget about my textures and most probably never need them ccj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted April 11, 2000 Share Posted April 11, 2000 Damn you and your ethics! Just put in a strong disclaimer that the textures are a beta version. Hehe...

Guest PeterNZ Posted April 11, 2000 Share Posted April 11, 2000 come on coolj Um, just release all the finished textures for us please! Some of us would love to liven up our well-tried scenarios with some pretty new graphics. pleeeeaseee pretty please with cherrys?

CoolColJ Posted April 12, 2000 Author Share Posted April 12, 2000 The beta is dead - I suggest you people erase the beta demo from your HD and clear your thoughts for the impending Gold demo No point living in the past - you must plan for the future, and that's what I'm doing. I still plan to do a take no prisoners Texture upgrade for CM - if your video card doesn't support at least 16 megs of video ram you may not like it I'm after nothing short of maximum grogish realism I will definitely remaster all the games sounds too - but you may not be able to download these, I suspect it will end up at a couple hundred megs, audio data being the pig they are I suppose the best thing is I can burn a CDR for people who want it. You pay for the CDR media and postage off course That's what I'm planning, if nobody wants it, fine - doesn't bother me, its all for my personal satisfaction. I have very high personal graphic and audio tastes. Especially audio, since I master CDs for my friend's record label ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!!

DEF BUNGIS Posted April 12, 2000 Share Posted April 12, 2000 Sounds like a great deal to me. What do you expect the graphic down load to be (size), and if I send you the cash, will you put both sound and graphics on the CD? ------------------ Better to make the wrong decision than be the sorry son of a bitch to scared to make one at all [This message has been edited by DEF BUNGIS (edited 04-11-2000).] [This message has been edited by DEF BUNGIS (edited 04-11-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEF BUNGIS Posted April 12, 2000 Share Posted April 12, 2000 One last question coolcolj. Do you suspect your textures and sounds will be compatible with the full version of CM? ------------------ Better to make the wrong decision than be the sorry son of a bitch to scared to make one at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolColJ Posted April 12, 2000 Author Share Posted April 12, 2000 That's the idea - both sound and GFx on the CDR - the GFX will most probably be downloadable. the Beta demo's textures were about 8 megs uncompressed (4 compressed) and at one stage my Tweaked Textures were around 12 megs The gold version will have almost 4 times that many I suspect, with almost 10-15 times the amount of vehicles in the Beta demo! SO I suspect there would be at least 30+ megs of tetxures in the gold version. I won't be modifying every tetxure, but most vehicles will be changed. I will have a summer and winter cammo scheme set hopefully. This will take a long time I suspect In between Cm gaming sessions and music writing - I'll wait till the honeymoon period is over before I tackle this mega task Off course if you live in my city you are welcome to hop over for a autographed CDR DEF BUNGIS - if BTS keep the same file formats as the beta demo, which I suspect they will, then there should be no problems here. It will be fully tested for sure ccj [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 04-11-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted April 12, 2000 Share Posted April 12, 2000 Uh now I know I'm definetly not going to bother with these textures. Maybe you should have released them for the beta and then charged people for the gold version textures. Ah well either way I'm not getting them. ------------------ Visit my webpage! http://cm4mac.tripod.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdmorse Posted April 12, 2000 Share Posted April 12, 2000 Coolj (aside to Colin) Once you undertake the Megaproject do you (or Colin) anticipate having a Mac version anytime soon thereafter? I have really enjoyed what you did for the Beta and it really enhanced the experience. I look fwd to your future efforts. Also, you talked about burning a CD of graphics/sounds. Would it still be available as download for those w/ sufficient download speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolColJ Posted April 13, 2000 Author Share Posted April 13, 2000 I suspect this will be a PC only affair - unless someone is willing to convert 50 odd megs of textures, and 100+ megs of audio data The textures will be available to download - well maybe, it depends on if I can get enough hosting space. But the audio is a definite no. Compassion has given me some space, but with a few people downloading 100+ megs of data - that means bandwidth will be hogged, and since I don't pay for this hosting, the paying customers will be pretty mad Also I don't fancy uploading 100+ megs of data at 15k a sec. Even though I have cable, Compassion's site has a slow connection to me.Too many hops I suspect. ccj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolColJ Posted April 17, 2000 Author Share Posted April 17, 2000 Well I'm glad I didn't release Tweaked tetxures v2.0! After seeing the 8 pic special by MadMatt, I've noticed BTS has changed the infantry tetxure system for the better, by having a proper side texture! You won't believe how much better this will make my job at tweaking! In the beta demo, the infantry texture just had the arm texture stretched over the side of the infantry model. So you couldn't do belts on the side, and SS cammo patterns would look awful But finally BTS has fixed this I'm happy - 2 thumbs up! Now all we need now is mipmapping.... ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!!
