Gundam Annihilation 1.0 pending, I must test first though

[FizWizz]

...ok, several days and no replies? Am I to assume all is well and that people are blissfully happy with the current version?

Or maybe it is the week again
I'll try it out once Friday rolls by again

[NOiZE]

So far i havn't put much intrest in this yet, but i had some spare time and thought i give it a go.

Looks pretty nice but i noticed serveral bugs:

- When queing the minofsky generater there is a green blob above which looks ugly

-When Building the Lite Mech pad the following error appears: Error: Spring requires a NOWEAPON weapon type to be present as a placeholder for missing weapons.

- Buildpics need work (you know that already i think :) )

I have a problem with it; AAI doesn't work with it; and whenever I attack the commander unit, or the commander unit attacks me, the game crashes.

You need a mod config file for AAI to work with the new version. AAI has a config for 0.98, it can be renamed and used with 0.99p as well. Look for <Spring folder>\aidll\globalai\aai\cfg\mod\Gundam annihilation 0.98.cfg, rename that file go Gundam_Annihilation_0.99p.cfg, and AAI should work.

Well, I have been diligently working on gundam annihilation. So you guys can see it.. here is a pic!

The artillery now fires in an arc (thanks fang for the info).

What else has changed:
Many of the artillery units now fire in arcs. Also, I have been removing the OTA textures and sounds from gundam annihilation. Many new sounds have been added and I have also made a few new textures. Some balance changes have been made to many units. As I have said earlier the next release will only be made for version 1.0.

This is what is left for version 1.0:
IT IS DONE.

Some final testing is needed and 1.0 will be ready for release

What can I do to help?
feedback on the current version is always taken into consideration. Your voice is not unheard, I will listen. If you feel there is a new unit or unit type that needs to be added the feel free to suggest it. I may not add it but I will look at the idea.

What will never be added:
wind generators
geothermals
nukes
mechs that are not from the UC time line 0079-0084

Finals are coming up soon and I will have to concentrate on school because of this I will be scarce for a week or so.

All that is left for the release of gundam 1.0 is 2 animations and some play testing. Here is the changelog to wet your whistle. It is worth noting that this list does not include all the corpses and textures added/modfied.
Also it does not list the new models added. Either way this a preview of some of what has changed in the new version. This list fails to capture the amount of work done.

----------------------------1.0----------------------------------
version 1.0 represents the completion of my original design Doc.
After this version the mod will only be worked on for spring
which means the removal of all the old OTA specific crap and certain
Spring specific fixes.

------------------------OTA Independence stuff-------------------
- no longer uses ota sounds
- no longer uses ota textures
- cursors will be replaced in time
