Highliner Mod - 1.04b - PBW Observations & Patch

General Woundwort · #1 June 19th, 2003, 01:12 AM

All the beacons of our worlds are lit up in celebration!

The data file changes are done, the AI's have been updated, and the game open has been run without any nasty error Messages cropping up! Now comes the acid test - a series of trial runs to Last at least through this weekend to test game play, AI adaptation, and search for any lurking bugs. Further progress reports will be posted as the Highliner Mod comes to life.

Will there be an open Beta test? Can Taz play too??

Come-on... You don't want to see a grown Taz beg... I mean you really DON'T!!!!

There is method to my madness. If my hard drive fails, I will lost at most a few minor changes to Adamant.

*begins dicing onions right next to Taz*

Calm down, Taz! Breathe, breathe!

Seriously, I just want to run it a few times at home to shake out any major bugs (and good thing too, I found and fixed several Last night) and test out how the changes affect gameplay. If all continues to go well, 1.01 will go public this weekend.

i will help out on the beta pbw test just assign my name to the empire you wished to use as a test in the pbw game.

Now I know how Doc Frahnkenshteen must have felt.

I've opened up several games at high tech levels, just to check the datafiles (ship sizes, components, and facilities), and everyone reports for duty as scheduled. No nasty error Messages pop up at game load and between game turns. The Highliner Mod is ALIVE!!!.

I want to take one test game through a few more turns, to check on combat and reseach (just to be paranoid about releasing a buggy game). But I think we're just about ready to rumble!!
