EB news - Sunday, February 19

[Lord Winter]

Ok, well I live in Texas, and you guys may or may not know that Texas is a state of The United States so that means that I am in America, and my time is about 4:45 PM, wich means there should be a patch ready for download. Oh yeah and when its ready will it be on the main EB website under the desolate, and long barren patches section? And totally of subject ive been playing EB for like an hour and it keeps exiting out to the desktop randomly after like 5 minutes, it doesent CTD, as I just click it at the bottom to reopen it but does anybody else have this problem?

Theres always the left cost, and personly i think we can expect it around 9-10 est so 1-2 GMT

[Roderick Ponce Von Fontlebottom]

What about the exiting out to my desktop thing....any ideas??? An did they say it was gonna be 30 megabytes?

Khelvan said maybe saturday not that it will be saturday putting words in peoples mouth tends to annoy them so lets hope they don't just keep the patch to themselves due to your insolence

Note: Do not take this post to seriously

Oh and as for your exiting problems are you getting anything popping up an auto update program for example (might try looking at in the system tray)

[Trithemius]

There are only a few sprites right now, and sprites take up very little space. 35 MB came from the new custom tiles, 30 MB from the UI directory, and 20 MB from animations. If we added even a single texture or unit fix, it would be an extra 300 MB, since we'd have to re-release the patch pak, or release everything in unpacked form and do without the patch pak (not possible for some things, and making other things slower).

Not to mention the teams of compressed slaves who are tasked with moving all the palm trees from out of Italy and turning the logs into hobbyhorses so they actually are mounts. This all occupies space in the download.

[khelvan]

The actual size of the download will probably be around 70 MB, with the compression we use.

Hey, I tend to stay up late, and I consider the day as "until I go to bed," so if it does end up being today, and there is still a good chance it will be, it could very well be well into "tomorrow" for you weird people who use clocks and calendars to determine days.

EB will start using "sleeps" to determine when content is released now? :)

[booker]

Well... i´m wating..... hope it can make it...

Oh why left all the texture out?.. we all get High speed conection.. so... it would be cool to include them.. maybe 2 separate pacthes?... and the one who don´t want to include the texture etc, don´t download them...

Just an idea..

[khelvan]

If you want to wait another month for us to put together all the texture/model fixes and such which we wanted to do, we could do that.

The point was to get something out as quickly as possible, and then add a lot of content later. Not everyone has a fast connection, so we'll update a lot of the packed content later, in the next full release.

[Lord Winter]

Will the patch have the modesty patch option in it?

[Roderick Ponce Von Fontlebottom]

lol im proabably the only person on this forum that has dial up

[Roderick Ponce Von Fontlebottom]

Yea

[khelvan]

Will the patch have the modesty patch option in it?

No, since the current texture/model is packed, this will have to be included with the next full version release.

It's 11:05pm Sat, in Virginia. It's almost Sunday.

Romani rules the whole world!

Rome demands victory (the patch) from her generals. Cant wait plunder some Gaullic towns and do very bad thingyz.

[khelvan]

Like I said, it isn't Sunday untill I go to bed ;)

[Ambiorix]

California secession ftw!

Back on topic, Khelvan, hurry up and go to bed ;) We in California want to play before we go to bed.

[mike^_^]

can EB just release the bloody patch already and put an end to this off-topic banter

[vizigothe]

I agree, the only way to end the off topic banter is to release the patch!

[Roderick Ponce Von Fontlebottom]

Maybe to get off the subject of peoples ethnicities, has any body checked out that shogun mod for rome (forgot the name) that looks pretty good! eh, doesent guys?

[khelvan]

Any more crap like that and I will make sure that we only put the patch up on hosts where we can ban those IP addresses from downloading the patch.

Don't think I won't do it. Your posts have been deleted and you had best cut it out before I get angry.

[We all need someone]

If Khelvan is in St. Louis, then I suppose the patch is delayed.

And if it isn't, then I'm sorry Khelvan, for all your sexiness you certainly are WHACKED OUT. When do you sleep? Or do you even sleep, with your god-like powers negating whatever your corporeal body may demand?

Or else you really should talk to your doctor about Lunesta. Sometimes we just need a good night's sleep...

[Ambiorix]

Wasn't this thread stickied?

[Kull]

Look up.....

[Ambiorix]

Gah, the 0.73 thread was deleted and the patch isn't on the site. That was mean... hehe.

*Edit* I am fully aware though that it's not some ploy, ;) Just probably a last second thing to iron out.

[khelvan]

Oh. My. God.

There, I have deleted every single post that had anything to do with coasts. I trust we can all move past this now and not act like five-year-olds any longer?

"My post was deleted but his post was not!"

[Big_John]

crap, i wish i had followed this thread! sounds like it was a good one.

[Kull]

You know those nature shows where the hyenas are circling some meat and then they just start biting on each other? That was what you missed......

[khelvan]

You think so, eh? Wait until I move it back into the public forum with D/L links that lead to 404 errors.

I deserve some amusement after dealing with children who can't play nice together.

[Ambiorix]

Heh, that reminds me of those teachers back in school who would punish the whole class because of one or two kids.

Those one or two kids would promptly have their backsides handed to them at break.

[A$$A$$IN]

Wait, so are the links in the EB site...for the patch? Or am I downloading something that equates to an inside joke I am not aware of?

[Ambiorix]

Nothing's a joke that I'm aware of... what links are you talking about?
