1.8 Beta update:

Since it just occured to me that ive had this puppy in beta for over 3 months now, i might as well post some kind of an update here.

As usual, if your looking for the latest info or file links, you can find them at the TMO 1.8 beta thread here:
http://forum.kickinbak.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1785

The newest updates, which i hope to post sometime tonight will include:

- Nigesis fix for all the problems with crew eyes. Zombie eyes, creepy stares, and my latest introduction of "werewolf eyes" in the late beta update should all be fixed. There is however a hitch. US crew skins will render a little funky. This is a SH4 1.5 issue that ive never been able to resolve. Up tell now, ive been using a 1.4 version of the crew since they rendered correctly. Unfortunatly, in order to fix all the problems with the eyes, im going to have to drop the 1.4 file.

- Captain America sent me a pretty kick ass texture for the night periscope, with green illuminated cross hairs.

- Going to yank out the large convoy layers i added in patch 1.

Reason is, i think, no matter how much i loath the idea, it's time i did something with the campaign files. It's not that i don't know how to do campaign work (see "new construction"), i just HATE doing it.

Now the one in TMO is "ok", but from a historical standpoint, and for variaty's sake, they'll probably have to go. Given this neat little map,

I should probably get off my ass and do it already. Rewriting the campaign is something ive loathed to do, and have been putting off, infact ill use any excuse to NOT have to do campaign work.

But with the above mentioned updates, they're wont be any more until i rewrite the merchant, and convoy layers. For now i think the new troop convoy layers i might leave in for now, as well as the task forces layers (not sure), but the merchant and convoy layers need to be redone i think. Happy happy joy joy, did i mention how much i "love" campaign work? I think id rather gargle on gasoline, or chew on aluminium foil.
