You have download limits? Darn... tough! How do you keep track of those? I have no limits at all... Stay online for as long as I like, download/upload 100-eds of MB's... np what so ever :S

I think the mod will be around 190 MB when completely finished...

[Garrison Nomad]

Good add, but i understand why people wouldn't like it cause of the added downlaod time...perhaps you could condense the file somehow...

meh, 500kb/s for me. Doesn't make much difference.

[Nazgûl]

Oh lord... Since THIS post started getting out of hand I kinda lost inspiration for this as well... So I guess I'm gonna scrap the whole thing since the "T3A Police" spoke and made me feel like a "D_bersh". Seriously: I have no energy to FIGHT for things in this mod, I'll just do them for myself instead when the mod is finished.

So = the Shell Map and intro movie will probably be scrapped. Sorry - for those like me, that wanted it in.

[Garrison Nomad]

unless....well, that'd only work for people that have bfme1...but still. Kinda worthless to make multiple versions, too.

I say keep it. But meh, doesn't change the game. =)

Dude, by all means do not refrain from doing the fan's will. The "T3A Police" did certainly not mean to discourage you from doing what you always dreamt of for this mod.

I'll communicate someone's address for you. Contact him, leave it a week, and see whether you get any reply. If it's negative, then do not fight the guy, and give it away. Otherwise, if there is no answer of a positive one, then go for it!

[Nazgûl]

Thanks Ched, yes I wrote the email adress down that you gave me, and I will use it for sure. Just to prove to everyone that they don't care
But I will probably not include these things anyways... just to avoid more discussions on the matter later on. I might tell people how to do it themselves though, like Robnkarla did =p

Don't know if someone's already told you how to, but to change the music:

Open up shellmap1.map in WB
Go to Scripts
Find the script somewhere that sets the map up and selects the music track.
Edit that music script to have different music.

edit
*sees other posts* whatever... but ^^ doesnt take 47 tests...

hehe thank you Matt =)

[Biermann]

Could you put it in the youtube?

[Nazgûl]

No, not even member there. And I wouldn't put it there even if I was. I leave such things to others... But I'll put it in the mod though, in some way... =p

[Sûlherokhh]

From another thread:

Yeah, in the mod, but not in your retail game. I will also provide two versions. One without the intro (using the BFME2 one) and one complete version using this intro with it's +95 Mb. So I don't have to listen to complaints about bandwidth

Further discussions around the stuff, and not the "law" discussion here, plz use the other thread =)

I am sure most will download both version, so they don't have to mod around just to try the intro on for size. Don't take it as a critic, but i guess it will rather increase bandwidth used.

[Nazgûl]

Yeah, personally I have no bandwidth limitations, but I recall Cahik mention that many ppl do have that, and perhaps I should take that into consideration :s

[Sûlherokhh]

Best to state clearly what each download contains and that either variant will work fine. Both are going to need the same music.ini entries though, or the players will not be able to play against each other.

[Nazgûl]

Hm yeah... that is a problem... hmmm, need to think more about this. Maybe they just have to live with the large download...

[Witch-King of Angmar]

i know this thread is kinda old but..

the shellmap and intro movie will be in Beta 4.5??

[Nazgûl]

Yes, we're still debating how to implement the movie - as a default or separate download, but the latter will cause problems to all that don't know how to "mod", and I'm not up for giving support for that So either we disregard download limitations that some have, or we do it that way... Not sure yet.

[Rindy]

wow, haven't written for a long time...
Well, I could send a copy on CD for people within the EU (and especially in switzerland) if they send me the postage and stuff... Or you could ask some game magazines... I'm sure they'll be glad to fill their dvd with your stuff

[Nazgûl]

Gaming magazines is actually already a hot topic (in MSN discussions with Sul) but a great idea nevertheless, thanks I have some connections here in the north and Sul in the south. We might just do that and release the mod through magazines as well

[Mordor Slayer]

Hehe ... Remember that weird PM I sent you a while back, about obtaining more 'official' ways to spread the mod? I wanted to contact a gaming magazine, and I tried (not releasing the mod on cd, just an appearance in the 'mod highlights'... But it still hasn't been released xD!
