I'm rejoiced to see the lot of good work done by our artists, and I really don't want to put a damper on anyone's spirits, but here are a couple of quite urgent things to be done on the artwork side: - any missing DS (I think it's only Korax, right?) - not yet done fire death animatinons AFAIK once this is done KMOD 2.8 can be released and the kMOD 2.x tree closed forever (correct me if I'm wrong). - the weapon sprites in a wadfile for Korax Arena 0.1 Currently, whenever I ask Camper about the progress, he always tells me he's waiting for Mago to send him that wadfile and he's sitting around comfortably on his ass and doesn't do any coding. <!-- s:cry: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cry.gif" alt=":cry:" title="Crying or Very sad" /><!-- s:cry: --> Making this wadfile would be especially cool because his other excuse (no maps) is already done away with (Codex and Ancient Arena are IMO enough for a 0.1 release which features only DeathMatch as gameplay mode anyway). <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

Ok, I can make the korax DS to finish the work, I have already make the 1st one, so I think I should finish it all <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: --> , I think Mago was working on the other two (the wad file & the fire death animations).

Mago's done quite some of the FD animations this far, OTOH AFAIK he didn't yet start on the other one, so if you can do it first, I guess it doesn't matter which of you does it. Just let's cut Camper's last excuse for not coding. <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->

OK then! I'll do it then, just to avoid that lazy Camper to keep up with his excuses! <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: --> <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

The reason I didn't do it yet is that my damn CD player is not working properly and I can't install Heretic, so I can rip the images. I'm almost finishin the Brown Serpent FL death, and the only one remaining is the Reiver, I guess. I'll try to make those today. As for Heretic files - let me try to install it again, and then I say something more. <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) --> PS: There's nothing wrong in pressing me - It's your job! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> I just hope I could have nmore time to work here...

As for Korax' HS : if Firebrand is willing to make it, please go for it. I could safely say I had enough of making Hurt Skins (but I'll do it anyway, if I have to). <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

Don't worry about them Mago, I'll do it for you, no problem with that, do you think you could do the 2nd Korax DS for me? you would make me a big favor here, because I'm a bit busy and excited with the textures, if you can't do it, please tell me and I will do it, ok??

Nahh, don't worry, I'll do the other Korax Hurt Skin also. Keep the great work with the textures and skyboxes - and leave the last HS and the reamining Flaming Death sequences to me. <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

Sure! Thanks Mago! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Hopefully if we can get all the DS and FDAs done in the next week, we can finish with KMod2.x by the end of the month. Then afte my GCSEs (and when I find a balance between this and somthing else I'm playing with.) I can get my arse in gear and get KMod3 out of the door.

That sounds great Moose. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

The one monster that shouldn't have fiery death frames is the Red Chaos Serpent, since he has lava for blood anyway. Well, maybe a couple more: Afrit (he's already burning) and the Wendigo (flaming ice?).

<whistles to himself, innocently> Well when/if I implement elemental damage/healing the affrit will then nolonger need a FDA but for now it's not really that bad. Wendigo sort of looks like its melting, but i see where your comming from.

KMOD 2.8 is the really urgent one because that means finishing a whole development branch. KMOD 3.0 is not that urgent because a lot of stuff needs to be done for it yet, some of it not even coding (like my tasks, i.e. convos and help screens).

OK, I have uploaded the weapons ZIP file, you can send it to Camper and tell him to start working now <!-- s:twisted: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_twisted.gif" alt=":twisted:" title="Twisted Evil" /><!-- s:twisted: --> ! <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

Got it. Thanks Firebrand.
