Masters of Sighisoara - a whole new continent!

[Yurian Stonebow]

Now that you mention the stand alone map, how's the work progressin' Max?

[MadMax]

I just finished it and named it 0.98, I hope to get it released by tommorow when its christmas and all! So Yurian if you could send me an updated version (0.99) today and I will go through the map and then finally naming it 1.0!

I am very proud of the map and our accomplishments so far people
A very huge thanks to my loyal teammates, and hey! LETS START THE 2nd SIGHISOARA CAMPAIGN!!

[Yurian Stonebow]

Prime Suspect version 1.0 is currently 80% finished. Give me 16 hours more time and it'll be ready. Then we may begin the final testing phase and race to publish to map here at CH before New year's eve.

Yes I am so thrilled to see the new map allthough I am at my girlfriends place on Hönö and she does not have the luxure of wireless network which makes it impossible for me to open the h3m files

Cant wait until I get home and can make it possible for a release I hope you people out there on CH are hungry for a challange cause this is a tough map

[Kalah]

I am at my girlfriends place...

Cant wait until I get home...

Dude, come here and turn around so I can hit you in the back of the head. You're at your gf's place and what you're thinking about is getting home so you can release a campaign?

*ahem*

There are other things you should be thinking about!!

[ByteBandit]

I see that Yurian uploaded Prime Suspect 1.0 up on the Archives. So, I was wondering if this map is ready for upload or is it still being tested? And it looks good guys!
And Kalah is right. Hop, get your priorities in order! Gf is #1 Map is #15.

"Prime Suspect", as seen on the Map Archives is our first attempt at version 1.0. It has been so far tested once by me, but let me assure you that my map making methods are essentially pre-testing in nature, and have not revealed any major bugs concerning the version that was sent to the Archives. You know me, BB. I'd hate to release second rate work, especially ones that are Team efforts and not my solo projects. Despite all what was said above, I feel that it would be informative to reveal and quote here what I wrote to Max and Koni (concerning the map) earlier today.

"Please note that this is just the first attempt at 1.0 and we should all work ever so diligently to make sure it is bug free and comes with no major typos and grammatical errors. I suggest that me and Koni will do the linguistic part of the deal while you and the rest of us play test the map to the best effort."

As a bottom line: the map is quite playable in its current form, but we can't guarantee that is fully free of typos and mistakes in grammatics.
I suggest that the regular Archives fellas and the non-frequent visitors (members who pop in every now and then to see what's new) enjoy it as an "as is" product 'til we define whether or not it is the final release version. But I do agree with you that it certainly seems pretty finished.

I'll take that as an "Almost Finished" response.

[Salamandre]

Wow guys, you already finished 2 campaigns while I am slowly struggling on one map. Damnt...

[ByteBandit]

No need to panic yet, Sal. I believe the map Prime Suspect is just the Prequel to the second Campaign. They may have already started making the 2nd Campaign by now, I'm not sure. But do keep in mind, there is more than one person doing this project! Goes a little faster that way.

[Koni]

And your new Stargate Atlantis project is from another world, you can't compare it with anything that has ever existed before. A new league of mapmaking!!

[Salamandre]

I should kiss you Koni. Such comments make me return back to work and forget common things, as girls, eat and sleep.

[MadMax]

Yurian you can add mapmaking on me to since I added some graphical details on the last version I sent to you! Also I am awaiting the words from you Yurian that I can check the map through one last time before a final release! Now who shall fix the small typos that Koni suggested in the latest mail?

[Yurian Stonebow]

I'll take that as an "Almost Finished" response.

Indeed, that's what I meant to say but I guess that I just somehow mysteriously failed to express myself clearly with any less words used than that. Lol, it must be another peculiar habit of mine.

Anyways, the good news is that I have just completed (and sent to the Team members) what I call "reformed version of Prime Suspect 1.0", that is v1.0 purged of various typos and bad grammary and reinforced with the vital dose of new and/or modified Time Events. Summa summarum, it should be quite enjoyable. Splendid! And imagine, that is not a bad score if we consider the fact that we have managed to pull off a story driven L sized H3:SoD map in three months. It still amazes me. Really.

[MadMax]

yeah Yurian I will make the final checkings on the map tonight then Ill get back to you tonight so that we can release this baby!

[Kalah]

I'll be here.

[MadMax]

Yes awesome Kalah Im gonna check the map through now and then make any changes if I find anything to change and then re-send it to yurian and then release this challenging bit of a nice map indeed

[MadMax]

OKey I have made quite a few changes and are done checking trough like 40% of the map! It will soon be resent to Yurian and once again evaluated.. This WILL be released before new year if Yurian is on tommorow to check it out a final time and then re-send to me for the final check (again) and then sent into CH-staff

[MadMax]

I have now sent the third attempt to Yurian

Sighisoara.webs.com has been updated, I would also love to have some ideas on what to add on the site! And I am also currently adding some screenshots from the prolouge map on the site so they will be up in 5 minutes

[Kalah]

This WILL be released before new year if Yurian is on tommorow to check it out a final time and then re-send to me for the final check (again) and then sent into CH-staff

Send it directly to me instead, it's quicker. Also tell me exactly what it is and what you want me to do with it, and I might have enough to make a news item as well.
