Hello one and all

There are four things I will be announcing;

1st - I am going to be starting up the project again

2nd - Nobody may or may not be continuing on with the project, in light of this he has given me the source code.

3rd - Considering the serious work of [A] members on the mod, I am very willing to accept DXAG as an [A]lpha project, whether or not Dae wants to take this or discard it is his choice, but I would like to thank everyone who has made a genuine effort for the mod.

Alex (Original coder)

Nobody (Further Version coder)

Mainman (Mapping, and part coder, Landerneau being his signature role in DXAG)

Daedalus (Constant support for DXAG in technical aspects, as well as other implementation, the character skins for example)

Spiderbot aka LongCat (2 or 3 really good maps contributed to the project, the latest being a masterpiece which unfortunetely hasnt really been implemented on our end, but WILL be in the next release)

Derek (For his early attempts on modelling and brilliant support)

Smookie (For a shit map)

DXMS (For letting me nick their maps and converting them, breakout being my fave which has had a recent revamp)

Any other mappers/implementation contributers (who i have not mentioned already, apologies)

All the beta testers (for the official testers and the guys who loved my mod the moment they saw a test server up they joined and so became part of an important process)

All of the people who have played, and loved, and then perfected strategies on DXAG

All of the people who have shown real support on the forums and websites around

Special Thanks goes to Dejavu (for hosting my mod, and then destroying DXMP, in that order)

4th - The team, (comprising of myself, and my keyboard), require many extras to carry on with the next version.

Models/Code - New weapons;

Soldier: .44 Caliber Magnum Revolver/Desert Eagle

http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg16-e.htm
or
http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg83-e.htm

Sniper: Beretta M93R or Glock-18

http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg15-e.htm
or
http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg137-e.htm

Engineer: "Long" Double Barrelled Shotgun (about 2-3 feet length barrel)

No relevant picture to show as of yet

Stealth: MP5-SD3 (Submachine Gun)

http://world.guns.ru/smg/smg14-e.htm

Brute: Plasma Pistol

No relevant picture to show as of yet

Also, a new Grenade model to replace the LAM model would be nice, CS style.

Maps;

We have had a lot of maps since the 2nd (and kindof 3rd release) for the mod, some have been fully implemented, some have been implemented but not tested, and some maps were appalling

Keep them coming, and also some good map conversion ideas for currently existing maps.

Also, a new map which implements some of the SG function, (primarily the teleporters) would be sexual, so if anyone wants to undertake that, I would cream myself.

Code;

I'm looking for a dedicated high-level coder to in some way "replace" Nobody, however this does not mean he has left or will not be doing any further work on the project, but if another very decent/reliable coder wants to take up the reigns i would be very grateful.

The last requirement is not a priority, but would be very toight to have.

A website, or at least a bunch of webpages on a current DX website (im looking at you Alpha)

I will be very willing to create an FAQ/History/Installation Guide etc for a website if it is made.

Say if alpha wanted to extend their website for my mod, (as an example of course) i will do all the long ranty text bits i am famous for

Otherwise everyone, lets hope some real progress gets made on DXAG

And Dejavu has some kind of organ failure

I can do a remake of Landerneau if you want?

Not right now though, as I am working on releasing MMCity, but when it's finished, then yeah.

Well

I tell you so many times matey

EXTEND IT

Cheers though, very much appreciated

I would hesistate to say Landerneau was probably the signature custom map of DXAG

You need to remake spawnrooms. Make them at least accurate and similar for all the maps!

There was a also bug about reconnecting if i'm not mistaken (so I could have abilities of 2 classes).

There was a bug of lockpicking boxes which are supposed to be multitool'ed.

Check private messages Ben.

Smookie (For a shit map)

As far as I know, that problem was fixed by the last DXAG version. You did have the ability of one class in the spawnroom after reconnecting yet, however when you passed the teleporter, it replaced everything.

by **Kaiden** » Sat Mar 03, 07 6:35 pm

Oh yes, people kept chucking gas grenades at each other in the spawn one that happened! :evil:

He called my map a masterpiece! Can I have that in writing?

by **Allan** » Sat Mar 03, 07 9:39 pm

1x M39R Beretta.

by **clyzm** » Sat Mar 03, 07 9:49 pm

Allan lol, I can't see the model + it is supposed to fire bursts

.

Don't worry though, I'm making one right now as we speak.

EDIT:

I sent the finished one to Ben.

by **clyzm** » Mon Mar 05, 07 5:58 am

Update:

I finished the .44 magnum. It's kinda goldish but if you want it all reflective, let me know.

I will finish the MP5SD finally then send the final .zip to you, Ben.

by **MrBlackDX** » Mon Mar 05, 07 5:46 pm

Thank you very much CataDerekclysmate!

Considering DXAG is now an "official" Alpha mod, i would be happy enough to release all of the weapons to the public for public use

unless you dont want me to do that...

by **~ô¿ô~Nobody~** » Mon Mar 05, 07 6:15 pm

You're still the founder, for my opinion.

by **MrBlackDX** » Mon Mar 05, 07 7:20 pm

I never said i wasnt

It may be an official Alpha project, but that doesnt make it any less mine as well

by **James** » Mon Mar 05, 07 7:42 pm

In that case, I claim Founder.

by **~ô¿ô~Nobody~** » Mon Mar 05, 07 8:06 pm

Nein, you may just claim your arse :!:

by **James** » Mon Mar 05, 07 8:29 pm

No, that is Ben's property.

by **clyzm** » Mon Mar 05, 07 9:09 pm

Eh do whatever you want with the weapons y0.

Edit:

Anyone capable of hosting a server? We need to test out the two weapons I made so far.

by **Kaiden** » Mon Mar 05, 07 9:28 pm

Er, I can host for abit yes.

by **clyzm** » Mon Mar 05, 07 9:29 pm

~[A]Kaiden~ wrote:Er, I can host for abit yes.

A bit?

We may need like 10~30 minutes of testing.

by **Kaiden** » Mon Mar 05, 07 9:31 pm

Thats fine. Any passwords etc? I'll put it on Smuggler for abit.

by **clyzm** » Mon Mar 05, 07 9:33 pm

Well I'll have to wait if Ben or other testers are on to see what they think.
