Desert Conflict Mod Update

[[MyIS]Spawndemon]

The Desert Conflict (http://desert-conflict.org/) mod team is back today with an update on their upcoming release. Here's what they had to say:

I'm pleased to say that the next release of Desert Conflict is in our sights. We wish we could have gotten to this point sooner, but things "under the hood" were more complicated than what they originally seemed. The latest build has been a great success with our testers, and I thank them for all their help. I don't have a hard date for release to report yet, but it will be soon.

While the modeling and coding teams were hard at work squashing the lag issues, the other teams were able to continue work on fixes and new content. I will get a list of them all as soon as I can. These will include new vehicle variants, updated sounds, weapon and vehicle tweaks, and new maps.

I would like to show you all 2 new maps that will accompany the next release. There will be more, but I need to make sure they're going to make it in time for release. The testers have been playing with 6 new maps along with the lag testing. If we're lucky, we may get 4 out to you guys to play with. No promises though.

The first map is tentatively named "Desert Conflict". This map will most likely be a vehicle heavy map with a few pockets of infantry around the towns. The second map is "Close Quarters". This one is infantry only.

When are they going to get it in ModJive??? The two mods that I would like to have in ModJive are this and NaW.

Easy updates, etc.

Please, devs, get this in with ModJive!

[HaVOCK-ElEEt]

Just out of curiosity. Dcon isn't in Black Sarge Studios, and isn't on modjive either. Does dcon not like other mods, or do they not like you? Its not sarcasm either, b ut for some reason I would love to know this bit of gossip. Probably some ex dev from one side will spill the beans. :eek:

[Doorstop[DCON]]

always a touchy subject Havock.. Modjive wasnt used at the time of release because we didnt really need it.. We had plenty of avenues of release, however it was made available by MasterX for them to grab. As far as Black "Sand" Studios.. We dont need to belong to a conglomerate to get things done. Sure it would get done faster perhaps. But the DCON devs take a certain pride in their work and in their Mod. They truly can say they are doing it on their own. Its nothing against what BSS is doing. I think its a great thing. It gives the community more stuff to play with in what they are doing. POE2 isnt part of BSS either.. Nor FH2. They all have their reasons. We like to remain independent. Its less messy for us. Thanks for the good question.


@Coldmist.. We'll see what we can do about that.. Thanks

I wasn't aware we weren't on Modjive anymore. I thought he had it on there before.

Don't think we were ever on Modjive. IMO, it would be cool to have DCon added, but it's not up to me :cool:

[{RR}SinisterCaesarSalad]

Hmm.. I thought I seen it on there before... guess I'll have to have that fixed. ;)

Can one of them contact me, please?

Go to this page and submit the information: http://www.modjive.com/?page=submit

[{RR}SinisterCaesarSalad]

Alright, I got the info submitted. :)


We've upgraded RC4 to RC5 and RC5.1 is in the works. We have decided to put our words into deeds and we've cut out anything that would hold back a release of the patch and slating that stuff for a patch to be released after this one in a few weeks or so. We'll have a solid date later on after this patch when we get some feedback on the items from this release and see if we can incorporate any into the next patch.

So the testing server was just updated aprox around 5 30 pm est today with RC5 and we'll be running through it to make sure all is well and then moving onto RC5p1 which should be the final version of the patch and we'll be able to move it out the door shortly there after. The time table is still standing I made in my previous post and all looks well. I'll keep ya up to date.

Nice update guys, keep the good flowing :D

Just alil more info to clear things up, BSS never approached any mod team, the fact is USI and four other teams was already working together before BSS came about, most of the mod teams out there approached us. Not because they needed help, but because the word got around how we do things. We are a nice bunch of modders who prolly know more about bf2 than we did before BSS. Shoot , I only knew mapping and moddeling, now I know and do alot more. Now with new engines on the verge of releasing, there is no telling what magic may come from this.

We respect any and every mod dev team out there as we would seek the same from them. So please stop bugging the DCon devs about BSS, Im sure they are getting tired of it by now.

As said before, good work guys, can't wait to see more :D

"Personally" Extremely tired of it.

Thanks Guedoe..

[Sir. Elxx]

DCon is alive and well on Modjive. Remember that it won't show up in Available Content if you already have it installed. :)

[Doorstop[DCON]]

thanks for the update Elxx

Great to hear. Modjive is a great tool for any BF2 player out there. My thanks go to the Sir. guys for the extra support it gives to the mod teams. :)

[{RR}SinisterCaesarSalad]

Elxx, I've added you to my MSN so I can give you an extra heads up on the patch.
