[WIP] Panther's Pitch Mod - Testers needed

panthercules · 01-19-08, 01:13 PM

I'd posted this in my latest "poll" thread, but it was kinda buried deep in there and I wasn't sure how many folks who had already looked and voted there would still be following that thread, so I thought it might help to attract testers if I started this in its own thread.

Well, I finally got a combination that seems to be pretty decent and, as far as I can tell so far, doesn't seem to have broken anything I can find. I think this is about as good as it's going to get, at least for now, since trying to go further in any directions seems to be breaking something different along the way. Here is a link to a video of my "release candidate" settings:

At the moment, the only one I have JSGME-ready for testing is the Salmon Class using what I believe to be the latest RFB/ROW files as the base. I could use a couple of folks willing to test out that setup just to doublecheck and see if they can find anything broken with it.

I'm going to start tweaking the other sub classes with my RFB/ROW base, and then I'll try doing some with the TM/ROW files as the base, and I'd like to be guided as far as priority goes by whatever types I get volunteer testers for (e.g., if I get more volunteers wanting to test Gatos with RFB and Porpoises with TM, I'll try to do those first).

If you want to take a crack at testing some of these, please PM me and be sure to specify which sub class you want to test and whether you want to use the RFB/ROW version or the TM/ROW version, and I'll PM you back with the link to the test package when I get it worked up. There's so many earlier versions out there, I'll only be making versions using the latest files from those two combination mod packs, so if you're not running the latest versions it may not be worth testing these (they may work, but if they don't I won't be able to help figure out why 'cause I'll only be working with the latest versions).

I guess I'll have to have a talk with the RFB, ROW and TM modders to make sure they're going to be OK with me using their files before I actually release anything here. Ultimately, if the testing doesn't reveal any real problems I'd love to see those mod teams consider incorporating these changes into some upcoming version of their mods - easier for me (not having to keep trying to update this stuff as those mods evolve) and easier for all the RFB/ROW and TM/ROW users as well. In fact, if it all works out and they want to use this, then depending on the update/release schedules for RFB/ROW and TM/ROW, I might not even have to release anything separately at all (other than the list of changes for the do-it-yourself types out there). It will take a while for the testing cycle to run its course, so there'll be time to deal with that down the road - just didn't want anybody to think I was planning to just grab and use those Mods' files for a release without permission or anything like that.

Thanks for the help
