KA 1.0

I'm preparing the official release of Korax Arena, currently it would consist of following: - current latest codebase - MP3 songs (4th class, do you have songs for the two new maps from DarkRaven and madPaul?) - 5 player classes - DM, TDM, Football game modes - 1 football map - 7 DM maps (Codex LE, Ancient Arena, the 3 Heretic maps converted by Firebrand and the two new maps by DarkRaven and madPaul) - did I forget something? If someone is working on something that's nearly finished, please tell me ASAP. Stuff that's not close to completion won't make it any more into KA 1.0 but no worry because there'll be further 1.x releases as soon as there is something new, like new player classes or maps (because of the download size, I'll once again make patches available for download, not only full versions).

The 4th Class

I'm just going to take a quick look. Shouldn't take more than a minute...

Now that's not fair, the power went out at my house for twenty minutes... <!-- s:x --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mad.gif" alt=":x" title="Mad" /><!-- s:x --> Anway, the answer is yes, I do have two songs ready for the two maps, both in the flavour of metal. I'll have the MP3 versions ready as soon as possible, expect them by maybe two or three hours after I post this message.

Then again, why not use the guitar version of the River of Fire?

River of Fire is one of the maps released with KA, or do you mean using the same music twice?

Yep, the same song twice. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> Use the orginal MP3 for the River Of Fire Level, then use another version with the guitar for another level (or even both guitar versions or both new levels). It's not that bad an idea, IMO, I mean the same song was used in Heretic for E1M6, E3M4, E4M1, and E6M3, and plenty of other songs repeated too.

It would also decrease download sizes if we would use MP3 songs for more than one map. Especially later on when we might have as much as 20-30 (or even more, yeah buddy dream on <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->) maps for KA, reusing music pieces will be the rule I guess. So for which new map do you mean ROF and what music you suggest for the other map?

I don't know what the hell is going on or why, but I failed every time I tried to convert the songs to audio. <!-- s:cry: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cry.gif" alt=":cry:" title="Crying or Very sad" /><!-- s:cry: --> Nevertheless, I left the MIDI versions on KDev (I shut down the computer, then rebooted, and I was able to get in). Their names are "Dragon Slayer," and "Warrior's Axe." Sorry if they sound a bit rushed, I can do a lot more concentrated work on them if you like. As for the River Of Fire song, I say use one of the guitar versions* for DarkRaven's map, and for madPaul's, maybe repeat another MP3, IMO HellKeep.mp3 might work best (or use the other guitar version). At this rate, there won't be any new MP3s for a while, so they'll have to wait until v1.1. * mine <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->
