1.1 Patch Imminent

Just a heads up that the 1.1 patch is about to come out - like tonight (Wednesday) PST or tomorrow morning (Thursday) PST.

We're planning to primarily release through CrosuS (click this text to go to the site) with torrents as well. CrosuS is similar to STEAM - here's a blurb from the site:

Quote:

CrosuS is a complete game management system. It provides a central download and update mechanism for an ever-expanding list of games and mods, plus it displays a browsable list of games along with screenshots, descriptions, user ratings and comments to help you find new things to play. In addition to the download features, CrosuS also contains a built-in IRC chat client to help find other players to talk to, it contains a news notification system to keep you updated on Isotx or game developments, and we're planning to host some game tournaments through CrosuS.

Our vision for CrosuS is for it to become a community-driven tool. We allow users add mods to CrosuS themselves so that content appears quickly, and reflects what the gaming community want, we're working on a matchmaking system to help schedule games, and we're working on integrating more of these items into the Hive website.

Through CrosuS you'll be able to easily update your 1.0 version of Fortress Forever to 1.1 by only downloading the files that have changed (and all with the click of one button).

We'll also have a full 1.1 .zip file (597 MB) and a 1.0->1.1 incremental .zip file (87.1 MB) available via .torrent from the start.

If you would like to host a mirror please let us know somehow. :)

Just to preempt the inevitable comments about installing a steam-like program for FF, I wanted to add that releasing FF on Steam isn't an option for us now. If Valve can work out the logistics for it you can bet that we will, but for now Crosus is the only steam-like freely usable service available to mods. In addition there is many mods and games on Crosus already so hopefully you can find more use out of it than just FF.

Why are we using Crosus?

There is a lot to gain by having the ability to provide small incremental updates to the game, especially for a small team. Had we released 1.0 on Crosus we could have been rolling out more frequent updates all this time. The 'release early and often' concept is very difficult to pull off on a small team. Alot of effort goes into just the packaging and uploading of distributable content, finding mirrors, etc. Crosus saves time on the developer and user side.

O SNAP O SNAP O SNAP!!

*faints* *>.< forgets feigning is not possible in FF* *shoots self instead*

This is like an early Christmas present. Lets just hope it's not the equivalent to a bucket of coal...

I won't mirror, because I don't know the capability of my web host, but I will spam the shit out of the FF servers I go to!

Hurray! I just hope we get a buttload of players that stay with the patch release.

Trust...as soon as it is officially released I am literally going to copy and paste a link to the dl to every single person on my steam friends list...I think if everyone does that we'll be good to go!

Also I suggest binding a key to spam the release in game as well something like:

Code:

bind KP_ENTER "say FF 1.1 finally released!!! Go to "random link" 

to download NOW!"

Of course replace "ramdon link" with whatever site is hosting it!

Yes, hopefully it works out and we can update users with incremental patches and content updates. It also has functionality to download and install 3rd party maps.

I can guarantee there will be a butt load of people flocking here tonight for the patch. Sadly, my old clan probably won't be convinced as they just switched to TF2...

Anywho, after the update goes through, can we get an official list of features/fixes that happened?
