Title: When's the next batch going to be considered?
Post by: Fencer51 on December 14, 2006, 10:38:54 AM: Could we get a guess on whether it will be before Christmas or after the new years. I would appreciate being able to "plan" my copious :rolleyes: spare time as to whether I can get something done for this release.
Title: When's the next batch going to be considered?
Post by: Krusty on December 14, 2006, 11:07:08 AM: Yes, Fencer's got a good point. I've got a skin in the works and would like to know if I have enough time to finish it and get it in before the deadline.
Title: When's the next batch going to be considered?
Post by: Greebo on December 15, 2006, 02:23:51 AM: Skuzzy, could you please give us a week or so's warning of the date, whenever it is?

Could we get a little help with an update to the skin viewer? Its been something like 2 months since it became outdated, and over 6 months since the last skin package update..

How about showing some love.. :rofl :aok
Title: When's the next batch going to be considered?
Post by: Skuzzy on January 18, 2007, 03:31:21 PM: Just finished sending out all the confirmations for the skins in the queue.

What's wrong with the skin viewer? Uhmm,..thought it already had been updated since the last plane released.
Title: When's the next batch going to be considered?
Post by: Krusty on January 18, 2007, 04:04:04 PM: It's forcing a cache rebuild every time you use it
Title: When's the next batch going to be considered?
Post by: Fencer51 on January 18, 2007, 06:13:42 PM: And it is bloody annoying..

Is there a cutoff date for submissions on skins for this release?

I have two skins almost done :)
Title: When's the next batch going to be considered?
Post by: Skuzzy on January 18, 2007, 08:33:54 PM: Get them in before 5:00pm CST (GMT -6) tomorrow (Friday) and they will make the batch.

I'll find out about the skin viewer.
Title: When's the next batch going to be considered?
Post by: Fencer51 on January 18, 2007, 08:51:46 PM: Thanks for the timeframe Skuzzy but I looked them both over, I would have to rush it to make any deadline before the end of NEXT weekend. I have to work this weekend and tomorrow is definately right out.

Thanks for the reply though!

Cheers,

Post by: Treize69 on January 23, 2007, 01:00:45 PM: OMG, I actually got responses this time! Woo-the-Hoo!
Title: When's the next batch going to be considered?
Post by: Krusty on January 23, 2007, 03:54:02 PM: I only got the auto-response-types, and one of those was from 4 months ago. I haven't seen an aception/rejection notice for any of them yet.
Title: When's the next batch going to be considered?
Post by: Kev367th on January 23, 2007, 06:28:37 PM: Cut-off for the upcoming batch was end of day Fri last week (Jan 19th).

Post by: EagleEyes on January 26, 2007, 01:18:30 AM: I just wanna know when i can fly that kick arse skin Greebo made for me!!
Title: When's the next batch going to be considered?
Post by: Krusty on January 27, 2007, 06:31:48 PM: You blue-planed heathen!

I wanna use the C205 skins as much as you want to use Greebos, though! :lol

(*still waiting for the skin pack*)
Title: When's the next batch going to be considered?
Post by: Treize69 on January 28, 2007, 10:38:36 AM: Come on, the suspense is killing me....

I'm off today and was hoping to have some new skins to fly :cry
Title: When's the next batch going to be considered?
Post by: rogerdee on January 28, 2007, 12:11:26 PM: well i think skuzzy will wait till feb 1st if they are coming soon.
That way he can reset the maps the scores and wack out the new skins,that almost makes perfect sence.

cant wait to fly my hurricane mk1 lol
Title: When's the next batch going to be considered?
Post by: killnu on January 30, 2007, 12:27:05 PM: lets reset it today with the maintenance scheduled...new skins.....arrrggghhhh i cant take it anymore.....
Title: When's the next batch going to be considered?
Post by: Krusty on January 30, 2007, 12:53:10 PM: I still haven't gotten any confirmation/rejections from any of the 6-7 skins I've submitted. They're not going to be coming out this Wednesday because it takes time to compile them after they're all approved. At this rate I don't think it'll be this week.
Title: When's the next batch going to be considered?
Post by: Treize69 on January 30, 2007, 05:39:04 PM: Dates on my confirmations are 12 days ago.
Title: When's the next batch going to be considered?
Post by: Krusty on January 30, 2007, 06:18:37 PM: Those aren't confirmations, really. Those are auto-responses saying "we've received this, we will review it". You will receive another saying "Congratulations, your skin has been accepted" or "Sorry, you need to do some more work". This second message, the one that alerts us all to the outcome of the review, is what we have not yet received.

Post by: Fencer51 on February 05, 2007, 10:47:52 AM: The wait is worse than the first 14 seconds of the superbowl, and believe me that hurt bad.

Post by: Krusty on February 05, 2007, 02:49:59 PM: lmao

I reiterate from my other post...

"Football nuts! :t "

Post by: Krusty on February 07, 2007, 01:14:01 PM: C'mon Skuzzy, man, (*scratches neck*)... I'm jonesin' real bad man. C'mon, just a li'l sum'n sum'n, to tide me by. I really need a C2 fix man.

Don't be like that, I'm good for it, you know I am!

I... I just can't go without a fix man, you wanna be responsible for that?

:t :lol :t

Title: When's the next batch going to be considered?
Post by: Krusty on February 10, 2007, 12:47:30 PM: A couple of folks were online on ch.200 idly chatting (and having fun). Points that came up:

- Skuzzy gets them ready, but it's up to Pyro, he's doing the review work

- Waffle might take over doing skins

Now on the first there's a valid point, on the second there was much laughing and many "Oh God!"s were muttered. Like I said we were having fun, no offense meant.

I'm curious if the second point is true, or if it's just wild speculation. You heard anything Skuzzy? Or rather, I should ask "Are you allowed to tell us anything at this time?"

EDIT: Oh, and I'm sure the only reason we didn't see any skins yet is because they've been doing a lot of work on the game (see front news page for screenshots)
Title: When's the next batch going to be considered?
Post by: Lord ReDhAwK on February 13, 2007, 02:27:40 PM: I honestly expected to get the Skuzz mails today :( I have been expecting tomorrow (Wed) as the release day with the new terrain screenshots just out this week. I officially can't stand it anymore :)

...off to make a tasty beverage :D

It's.. uh.. very disturbing... but somebody I knew on another forum used it as an avatar a while ago and then changed it before I could save it :P
