Hey, Kanttori!
« on: November 04, 2002, 09:10:57 AM »
What's the word on Fin-Rus map?  I'm up for this Friday, and would love to run this one at that time.  Have you sent it in to HTC yet for quality-control check and upload to the server?

I heard Kanttori is having some problems with his internet connection. I'm sure he'll reply here as soon as he gets back online. :)

Thanks, Camo.  You wouldn't happen to know if he's sent his Fin-Russ terrain to HTC yet, do you?

Sabre, sent this to you via the BBS e-mailer...it obviously didn't come through...

"Kanttori is suffering from a network outage and thus can't tell this to you by himself.

He told me to inform you that unfortunately the map won't be ready for the next friday's CT setup. :(

Kanttori has had some problems with the skins (colour diffusion...makes ugly pixels when converting from 24bit to 256 color). He now has  a program from Pokie which will help him to solve those skins issues but the new patch for the TE hasn't arrived and some things (don't know exactly what he's talking about) can't be solved without it. He said that the new patch was supposed to be released last thursday.

Kanttori says that his online blackout will probably last at least this week.

He's really sorry for this since you've been very enthusiastic about this map and he wanted very much it to be setup by you on this friday. :(

Wmaker, thanks for the update.  I hope Kanttori gets back on soon, as we miss him on the boards and in the CT.  While this means I'll need another setup for this Friday, rest assured the Continuation War will be in the rotation pretty quickly after the terrain becomes available.  I know any of the CT staffers would be happy to be handed such a nice set up to run.  In the mean time, I've got another set up in the can, which I will run this weekend.  By the way, I did not get the e-mail as of last night, when I checked.

they last a week.... and it takes quite a while before one comes around in the rotation again it seems.

maybe 6-8 weeks.. meaning there are about 6-8 fairly standard maps/setups.

Great to hear that you have a setup allready worked out! :) We both hoped we wouldn't put you in a bad spot with no setup at hand and no time to figure one out, glad that didn't happen. :)

Good luck with the CM'ing!

Hello Sabre!

I'm sorry I have been away long long time...:( Reason is simple: my internet account is lost about 2 weeks (money problem), but after that I'm coming back!

WMaker told the main things of the FinRus map problems. One reason he didn't tell:

I must wait the update of the Terrain Editor, because I have used  couple of new objects (for example plane dugouts) and I heard later that they have bugs. You cannot use the map in live arenas before the bugs are away!

Those objects, like plane dugouts, are very necessary in my little airfields, because they are VERY custom made!  :D

I can only wait the TE update... I think you can still use the map before XMas!:D :D

Ps. Now I have had time to finish the map (no hurry and panic) and it is not bad thing: For ex. I have made new urban area texture and it is now much more better and realistic than the older one. I have made more skins and very many little details, too.  ;)

Great to hear from you, Kanttori, and sorry to hear you're having money problems.  I sincerely hope things turn around for you.  I always try to have a plan-B (back-up plan) when I'm dealing with a new terrain...don't worry about it.  I'm still excited by the excellent possibilities of the Fin-Russ terrain.  I imagine it would make a nice Tour of Duty set up as well.  Heck, if we ever get the Brewster, it would make a great scenario as well.  Here's hoping;).

, Kanttori.  Will you be sending it to HTC for approval soon?  Very anxious to run this one.  It really looks like fun.  I just hope my hand has healed enough to fly before Fin-Russ runs in the CT.

Hello Sabre!

We look on next week all the skins and little details in H2H arena from my map. I think there is no bugs or not many errors nowdays...

After that I send it to HTC (monday 1. december) and look, what they says about my "bugged" (?) dugouts... :D I am not sure, are there error on that object, because map works good in H2H!

I am just creting and editing the last skins to planes:

P40B, P40E, A20G and and IL2. It is about one day work.

I have now four Finnish made "Red Stars" books, and there are very good coloured profiles from those planes! Have you seen those books (they are written english/finnish and there are great pictures from Soviet planes, lend leaces, too)?

I think it is ready to download from HTC after two weeks, if there are not problems with those new Terrain Editor objects!:cool:
