Hmm, I don't know what to about that. It seems so trivial I wonder what's going on? Well, EAW is almost exactly the same so if you can get that running it's still all good.

Wait, you have the EAW source on your machine, but that doesn't let you run it like a regular game would?

OK, so you can make EAW run, but just not ATM? This is essential to our process. If you can't see what I'm seeing when I describe it to you then I will need to take about 100 screenshots. Not my favorite idea.

I hope so. If all you need is an EAW key, I'll give you mine. You HAVE to be able to look at the game in its running state for this to work. Otherwise you will be fixing all kinds of tiny minutae that can be avoided by you seeing with your own eyes.

worse case I dump 8.1 to go back to 7.  Not a bad idea

Cool!

OP's and EAW's UI's are 99.9% the same. There are a few differences that can be explained easily enough.

We have an organizational plan now and will keep people updated on progress and the need for ideas as they arise. I can't comment on just what exactly will make it in as that depends on many things. Just remember that Exeter is one guy and has limited time and resources to work on this. So, slow and steady wins the race is our credo here. Short cuts will just kill us if they don't work out.

Sounds great Corb.  When you get a chance, can we get a list of things that made it onto the list so that we have a reference point to go from?  This way we are not spinning our wheels reinventing things that have already been hashed out.  Good idea about put out NDA's, the timing is right.  I would still recommend taking this sub-forum private, kind of like Hot and Spicy.

After people fill out and send in their NDA's we will have another organizational meeting with everyone (hopefully) on Team Speak. It is the only way we can talk realtime to each other, so it is highly recommended that you get the latest version (3.0.1.4  I think? someone check me). Even if you don't have a mic you can type in the chat area. This way we can (again hopefully) dole out "chores" for people to test and split into groups to tackle problems and bugs in sections. I qualify things with "hopefully" because it will all depend on how well we work together and how seriously people take the testing phases. Testing is boring work, that is if you're doing it correctly  ;).


As far as the forums, the mods or admins are the only one's that can do what you are suggesting. Exeter hasn't even been shown how do use his own moderator powers in this forum yet.  :huh:

I think Frey is the only one who can take this private.
