Please Remember that the game is not really up until I give the word.
I'm having to really work on getting things in shape to run and anything you see right now is just for testing purposes.

Please don't flock into the game if you notice anything until I give the word.

Thanks

That would be a waste of time at this point as I will have to make sure all the tables are clean before giving the green light.

So, any names/sides allready claimed will be cleaned before start?

Yep. The whole reason for the restart is due to the fact we recovered less than half of all the hmw data. Right before I give the green light I'll have to clean everything up to make sure we can start fresh. That includes anything you may be entering while I'm testing.

Well here's what I'm looking at... I have to rewrite a couple of the staff's manaement tools because those were actually not salvaged and then they will have to go in and re-update armors, weapons and missions. Mkall is working hard on alt-modes based on all 4 factions and we have to get that in. I also want to see if there are some minor bug fixes I can slide in so you guys don't have to deal with those starting fresh.

I'm shooting for a week or less. And that is booking it.

Dude, im actually glad to hear you say that, id far rather wait and have a non-bugged game, good luck.

One request; Can you update the 'HMW is currently down' page with a link for this place?
Sustain mentioned it earlier and I think its a blinding idea.

Well, I wouldn't say non-bugged. Lord knows what we'll see after a loss like this. That's why I'm trying to do some run throughs right now.

I'll get a link to the forum on it tonight. Won't be a big deal.

Ah crap. I forgot about the weapons. I wonder if I have the stats for them written down somewhere.

Edit: I have a list (last edited March 7, 2008) of about 90% of the weapons I added and the Fp/Skl stats they were assigned to, although I wouldn't swear those are accurate. I don't have their damage values written down though.

Tammuz might have a hopefully accurate list from the same time...

I know he helped with the maths, but Im not sure that means he has a list of the weapons. For a start, i know for a fact that weapons were added by Waylander and others after the innitial roll out.

On that note, does it actully matter if the weapons and armor are identical to last time (especilly name wise)? I'd have thought that so long as there's at least one weapon for each stat combination, and at least 2 armors for each rnk, does it actully matter if they dont have the same names? Heck, by the time I get to the levels I was pre game-go-splat, I wont rmember what they were called anyway.

I can wait. No big deal. Making it better takes priority to me.

Its a good start though.

As for the weapons, we've got a few years before we'll need most of them so there's not really a rush.

Yeah. Why don't you guys just keep hammering this while I'm trying to run tests on the processes. :roll:

It's just sort of tempting.

But I shall stop. Carry on.

News Credits: 9 · Thu Sep 25, 2008 10:39 pm

I have a list dated May 9th.

and a selection of the smaller ranged ones from aug 25th

A week or so? Not to bad considering this was a hardware failure. Could have been much worse. And this seams as good a time as any to fix known bugs and implement changes.

A week's not bad at all.
