The Progress Thread/List

[Wundai]

Ok here it is people, plain and simple.
Explanation at the bottom, this Progress List is purely for the sakes of the Beta.
As you can see, if we are talking about the beta, we are not that far away.
If we are talking about the final product, yes we still have some way to go, remember what we(and Kage) have lost here, half a year's work, so thats a setback yes.

-BANNERS (for the units) (B.R.)(turned off)

(N.N.) = Not needed for the Beta


There you have it.

Thanks for the update, it's really welcome. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that I was worrying whether or not anyone was working on this at all, and if all of your hard work was lost.

[Wundai]

Fortunatly we have salvaged alot.

Btw Music is Beta Ready :)

[Pranas]

Great news,
was waiting for this moment a long long time... )))

[Vlodec]

I'm flabbergasted. I honestly thought the whole project had gone down the pan, especially when I discovered that Kagemusha had "retired".

Thanks Wundai for reigniting my hopes.

Btw, how did stuff get lost ?

P.S.

I'm not of an artistic bent, and have few computing skills, but if there's some donkey work you'd care to farm out then I'd like to make a contribution.

[Wundai]

Kage had all the newest files, and his laptop crashed which destroyed half a years work he had made, that is also the reason he quit RNJ to be honest.

Thanks for the offer Vlodec, but we've already recruited quite some people to help the mod and I dare say we have enough to complete the beta with. :)

[Raz]

Fortunatly we have salvaged alot.

Btw Music is Beta Ready :)

Some of that was my music...

Anyway, whose working on the voices? I can work on the voices if no one else is. Especially if they're simply being ripped from STW - though I'll probably need to re-assimilate myself with the RTW sounds/voices, haven't worked with RTW for some years now.
I've got heaps of time on my hands now and over christmas, so if RNJ needs help with audio once again, I'll be there to assist...

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

... at least until January.

[Wundai]

Heh actually we do have "Juntao"(a sound coder) working on the voices, he has already converted them for RTW use and is now working on putting them ingame ;)

[Wundai]

Fixed the Main Menu Issue today using Alpha Layers.

-Added to the Progress List

(Not the only thing we're doing btw ;) )

Here is a list of thing the RNJ Team is working on right now:

These are both For the Beta and After the Beta:

-Me and Obiwan Asterix are trying to get the Building Descriptions Started

-Juggernaut has rejoined and is finishing all the "Japanese Clan History" chapters, you see in the beginning of every campaign. He has priority to make a description about the 2 Historical Battles in the beta though

-Wlesmana is making Fort models for both the Strat Map And Battlemap

-We are busy discussing the possibility of a Sourceforge Project, we tend to give the coders( Stuie and Max_minimod) the liberty of deciding themselves though, since it is in their best interest.

-TomteofDoom has pledged to help the team with his amazing 2-D Art, and will join in when he has the time.

-Taneda Santôka, when he gets online again will help with getting some old parts of the mod together, making a very nice RNJ Splash Screen (and I hope help with the Battlemap Hud which we lost )

-I myself am trying to get the Historical Battles working for the Beta( jummy CTD Paradise) with help of our coders/scripters.

-Juntao is coding the Voices into the mod

-I'm also working on the Building Cards (for after the Beta)

-Shogun144 is helping with distributing the RNJ version we have now to all mod-members that are in need of it.

End of progress update ;)
