Steven Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 (edited) Kermit opened up a question room on HomeLAN IRC, #aao-dev. Info from the very extensive Q&A session include: No, the laser pointer and flashlight won't be in 2.0 We're working on getting everything [on the website] set up as fast as we can, but it all takes time. There may be a delay [on the account expiration password emails]. Please be patient, as we are still working out all the kings [sic] in the system. I don't know who [CNN] got that [Nov. 6th release date] from. The 2.0 full install will probably be around 670-770MB I don't know the average time, but I know some people have taken about 45 minutes or longer to complete [Escape and Evade training]. [incendiary Grenades] will be in 2.0 There are 2 [special Forces training ] missions. Since I haven't personally actually done either one start-to-finish, I can't tell you exacly [sic] how long it will take, but expect to spend over an hour on both. Hospital is a "VIP" type map, kind of like Mountain_Ambush You will get ROE for killing civilians in-game IRC will be a VERY basic IRC client, don't expect anything fancy We're not currently planning on [adding objectives that require more than one person to take], though it's certainly a possibility for the future. We are planning on adding more SF training for future versions, but nothing has been set in stone yet. We are planning on implementing Karma for ragdoll physics, and we may use Karma for other things as well. ONLY players who are SF qualified can choose SF slots. Otherwise, selection works the same. If you are not SF qualified, but you "end up" in an SF slot, you will be converted to IF. We will track lots of stats, and track them accurately. The SPR will be available on all SF maps. Incendiary grenades are not as effective as frag grenades for anti-personnel purposes. There will be SF-Rifle, SF-Sniper, etc...slots It's unlikely we'll [open SP training maps up in MP situations] any time soon. We MAY allow other guns to be moddable in the future, like the SAW and the SPR. we hope to add [a stat tracking page] by 2.1 or 2.2 The guns will have different skins available (desert/arctic/jungle). Squad [arm]patches - No. Pipeline SF will be SF Exclusive, meaning there are no IF, and only SF qualified players will be allowed on the map. You will be inserted into the [escape and evade mission] by blackhawk. Not for 2.0, and we don't have any plans for [mp5sd6 and the remington 870 shotguns] soon either. We have discussed [guile suits], and we may add it, but we haven't decided yet. Regular Op4. Stay in one place [in the Esc. and Evade Training] I don't know specifically the names [of the OpFor equivalent of the m4 Mods], but there are opfor versions of all scopes, sights, and silencers. Yes, [striker will be used in] defence of an Objective. In Hospital, the VIP is played by a player. In CSAR, the pilot is not a player, and does not move. The civilians will not move, Unless you shoot them, then they will just die. Yes, [the VIP in Hospital] is armed, but he only has one clip of ammo. One team is trying to rescue him, the other is trying to stop him. The VIP will be a player Stryker is not part of SF. It is part of the Stryker Brigade. We're not really planning on doing much more with [the demorec feature] I am improving the Team swapping behavior though, so it will be easier to switch teams. ?Medic freize? bug will not be fixed in 2.0, fixed ?soon? The VIP [on Hospital] starts all alone, the team must find him. No plans to include booby traps such as trip wires etc Oh yeah, I'm planning on fixing [the ?Hit the Dirt? feature to allow forward and down movement at the same time] SF specialties won't be in 2.0, but we hope to add them by 2.2 or so.
