Beonid Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 :(Conflict of the Landsraad is delayed due to me getting "too clever" trying to alter mission text, all in-game mission sounds (what the Mentat says and what each side says during each mission), new unit descriptions and picture graphics. Now that I have started, it wont be ready until i finish...late summer, or more likely early Autumn (The Fall for you US people)When you say 'late summer, or more likely early Autumn' do you mean for the southern or northern hemisphere summer?

JulesG Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 :-[From my sig you will notice that "fall in either hemisphere" has become the end of this year (2004).I am presently re-texturing and unit balancing after I found some issues with a few missions.I then must re-edit the sfx (I have been playing with unit labels in the rules file so that the AI still works), then do all the mission text and sfx.So looks likely end of 2004, early 2005 release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Mission text takes ages to do. Good luck to you. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesG Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 :(I know, I started a couple of months back on changing all mission text for the Ixian missions (old Atreides) and part way through I caused an error that meant I had to start all over again.As I then decided I needed to move Harks to old IM and Landsraad to old IX, plus make some other unit and building changes to better fit mission stories, I have yet to re-start the in-mission text/sfx editing. Hence my delayed release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesG Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 :-I am deciding whether to abandon the development of Conflict of the Landsraad.I have had to start again from scratch after early missions (for all three houses) became unstable when re-inforcements arrived or when a small battle happened as reinforcements arrived...(unstable as in a complete crash)....I am not certain if my PC has become unstable (added Anti-Virus system and internet access) or my most recent rules changes have made EBFD unstable.I will make a final decision in the next couple of weeks.

erjin999 Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Why not ask if someone with a stable comp would help you test it ? It would eliminate the "is it this comp or not" issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesG Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 ???Well it seems that my EBFD was corrupted, (could not even play skirmish with standard EBFD), I have re-installed it and started the pains-taking work of re-creating the artini and rules files (which were also corrupted) for Conflict of the Landsraad.I have decided to reduce the complexity of the mod as follows:Main Houses: 1) Ix 2) Corrino 3) GuildSub-Houses: Fremen (70% the same), Harkonnen, Atreides, Tleilaxu (70% the same) and Ordos.I will though keep the Lite and Heavy factories, 2 Palaces (One for the superweapon and One for Generals building) and the Weapons Upgrade facility buildings. (I have done the buildings and their textures already!)I will release a version this year that plays both in Skirmish mode and Campaign mode.I will then possibly release a future version with all Campaign text/voices corrected so that the words/voices used in each mission match the new sub-houses.

JulesG Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 :)Well things seem to be going OK at the moment, so I may still make a shipment date of pre-Xmas...but with lots of things still to do I might not!See my topic for latest news, I may even get some pictures of units and buildings up in November....no promises though!

JulesG Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 :(See my tagline, I do not expect to ship this mod this year, with a lot of things still to do and busy at work I expect this to slip to next year.I am confident though that I can deliver before Spring 2005.

JulesG Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 ;DFor now it is, of course if development slips further then it will be "Southern"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesG Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I have altered my plans for Conflict of the Landsraad mod, the new planned version I hope will be available by May 2005 latest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 COAD I'm expecting around Jan 18, once I get a feasible connection - if I find out by then where to send it to... though I might release it as a beta, and wait for constructive criticism.

JulesG Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 :'(Now the bad news:Conflict of the Landsraad is abandoned permanently. I am unable to get a stable system running EBFD on my GigaByte mboard with Geoforce 4 MX400. It looks like only more modern games like CC Generals (my sons not mine!) will run OK now...So sorry everyone but unless I can work out the problem (unlikely as it only effects old games like EBFD and Tib Sun) I cant do any more development work.

JulesG Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Conflict of the Landsraad Update================================Well it is June 2005 and the mod is still not released, what a surprise! (NOT!).Status is:I am presently in the middle of converting all 50 ATR missions to fit with IX and new Sub-Houses.I will repeat with converting HARK to Corrino and then ORDOS to TL-Ordos.I have yet to do ICONs and New Unit descriptions as I keep needing to tweak/change units to fit the mission criteria (they are quite restrictive).Once finished I will then do a last run through to check for last minute bugs and then release.It is going to be big - very big, so expect to need Broadband to download it.

JulesG Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Well it is now mid-August, so I thought it time to update progress.All Atreides missions are converted.90% Ordos missions converted0% Harkonnen missions convertedICONs and tidy ups to do.End of the year release still realistic.

JulesG Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 :(Well it is now mid-October, so I thought it time to update progress.100% Atreides missions are converted.80% Ordos missions converted5% Harkonnen missions converted80% NewUnit descriptions/pictures doneICONs to do.End of the year release NOT realistic.Why? - I have made little headway in the last 2 months as I have been trying to sort out final textures, units, superweapons, correct buildings etc. and so seem to have not moved forward.I am also very busy at work so I dont know how much longer it will take, but aim now is to get this out very early in 2006 if I cant do before Xmas.
