Status: offline 		Sorry, it won't be released today. There was one additional issue that Rob was working on last night and hopefully he has taken care of it. We have a meeting to tonight to discuss the status of the patch. If all goes as planned (i.e. no last minute unforeseen problems), Matrix should have it tomorrow and we would hope it would be released sometime this week--it will depend on Matrix's schedule. We will let you know if anything unexpected pops up.

Status: offline 		Released to you today, no. Cleared tonight in our dev call, update doc updated, and tweaks for mod guides, and uploaded to Matrix FTP for installer work and posting , yes. Generally takes a day or two to get through the system there. We have a couple minor AI issues and tweaks we will be rolling over into 2.04 as well instead of holding 2.03 up any longer. We want you guys to enjoy all of the work done for 2.03.


We will also be posting Mod Guides (3 out of the now 4) and the map templates to Matrix to place on the public FTP as well. That's a quick copy over and posting of locations. That should happen Wednesday or Thursday of this week.

Much Red Storm goodness on the way.

Status: offline 		Just to update the crew here:

We sent a new build up to Matrix last night to fix a couple issue with missing files. We should see the update maybe tomorrow but more likely Valentines day. Can you feel the love or possibly the burning stare through the back of your head from your significant other?

HexDraw map files and templates were updated last night and zipped up to go along with Mod Guides 1 and 3. Working Guide 2 tonight and should be posting to Matrix tomorrow evening. These files should hit the public FTP/Members Club Friday as well.

So run out and get flowers, chocolates and a card right now, take your lady out for dinner tonight to "surprise her" and leave your Friday free.

I guess I can go ahead and sign the dam divorce papers great news though, can't wait for this weekend. I'm assuming that we can make custom unit counters from this update patch?

Status: offline 		As they say, no dumb questions. The mod docs were not included in the patch because they had not been completed. Capn D has been working hard trying to get them ready, but illness and other demands kept him for completing them in time. He is hoping to have them ready shortly after the patch is released. That is why you will have to grab them in the member's section when they are ready. I believe he is working on the last one as we speak so hopefully they will be ready shortly.

Status: offline 		Charles is on the right track and there are some other reasons for breaking those guides and files off separate. The map art and templets for hexdraw are in a zip file and need to be unzipped in the hexdraw folder. So you must own hexdraw for these items to be of any use and if you are not doing OTS style maps then you don't need the zip file. Although the guides can be accessed by the menu in the game, I wanted to have the guides in a much easier place to get to both for players and for the dev team. Getting files to the public FTP is a quick thing for Matrix to do versus building installers. This's gives us the freedom to update these materials and post them easier to you guys.

Hope that helps explain the two paths. This flu bug is kicking my backside and my brain is not at 100%.

Status: offline 		Just so everyone knows the latest -
- on our Monday conference call we agreed that 2.03 was ready to release at last. I uploaded the bits to Matrix that night for them to roll into an official update file.
- on Tuesday Matrix pointed out a documentation bug. Ouch! Fixed it and sent a new release candidate Tuesday night.
- Wednesday Matrix worked on creating a cumulative update to cover everything since 2.00
- Thursday I tested the cumulative release file and discovered that several of the files were not completely up to date - my bad - and I apologize to everyone. I uploaded a new release candidate to them tonight.
- the next step is for Matrix to rebuild the cumulative update with the new files and send me another update to test. Assuming that one is good then it will get the green light to go out the door and you will all have it very quickly after that. No, I can't predict the exact day it will come out...

I'm really excited to get this major improvement of the game out and I can hardly wait to get your feedback. We have done a lot of polishing and tweaking to improve the experience in a number of ways. My only regret is that it took so long to get ready.

Thanks for your patience everyone and happy Flashpointing when the release comes.

I only got one thing to say

No really, it may save my marriage after all if it is not ready until after Valentine Day. Just joking guys. When its ready, its ready.

Seriously, we are just as disappointed as you guys that the patch didn't get released this week. It is on us and not Matrix. We deserve every lump we get.

Thanks, I'm actually the most interested in the Scenario creation and map making right now. Lacking ANY artistic ability whatsoever I'm dependant on Hexdraw. The textures that come with it just don't do it. So you guys are the whole shebang for me and map making. Thanks for your patience with my constant questions on the textures.
