[quoteost_uid4="fear tetsuo"]How is the downloading the game going to reduce lag? I was just wondering.[/quoteost_uid4]
I have a theory, but I may be wrong, so I'm just gonna play ff7. see ya!

hmm...not a bad update. story mode, new playable character(well...soon anyway) and a dl/l able version of the game in a few days.

not too shabby tmy..not to shabby :biggrin:

[SSJKarma]

sorry for not being in here and replying to everyone but i kinda had visitors last day that came from far away from me just to see me and past some time with me. i couldn't resolve myself to let them out just to keep you all company !

anyway...
you understood me wrong TMyApp... i didn't say that the update was like sucking in any way ! i said that it was disillusionnal to tell us it would be the biggest update far more then NOTS when it was just the STORY mode who came in ! it is just that. for my part i will always be happy as long as you update the game with new things even if its just a new move to a char !

making the story mode is far more complicated then making the sentinels fight back in practice mode ! i know that for a fact, so i understand why you telled it would be better than NOTS and saying it would be 5x better then NOTS was just a little overThought ! i will make it about 2x not more than that cause it would have taken 2x time it takes you to program nots !

anyway... like i said i'm just glad you released a new thing in the game !
just a question:
what will happen of the PRACTICE mode if it has been replaced by the story mode ?

i would suggest you bring back BARNEY and put him a semi-AI so we can practice with all 3 super bar and have a little movement in the dummy to practice our moves on !

SSJKarma: Not hounding TMyApp about a "highscores" system with the story mode??

Ah well.. guess I'll have to take over that job if no one else will do it for me... :biggrin:

[SSJKarma]

i actually thought of it Shinjuko !
i just forgot to tell about it ! :biggrin:

now i just got trouble with my QUALIFICATION process for the tourney i'm making. but that is another story !

anyway...
the highscore system can be a real good system at pointing out the REAL skilled player !

[TMyApp]

SSJKarma: ok.. see... this is the problem.. no one EVER reads (or cares ??) what i'm saying

never.. not even ONCE did i say that Oct. 5th (originally Sept 30th) update would be "bigger than NOTS"

you can look ANYWHERE.. and you will NEVER me saying that...

in fact... the Sep28/Oct5 update was never even ANNOUNCED ahead of time... it is.. and was.. "just an update"... the only thing i said was "the 1 week wait would be worth it" ... NOTHING else...

what you (and others ??) did was combine "we start Sept 28" message of the last DWX Chronicle with my promise off "DWX event being 5x bigger than NOTS" .... again... just because the chronicle said "we start XX date" doesnt' mean "DWX will start on XX date" ....

if u think about... the last chronicle only talked about "someone" starting "something" on Sep 28th... it is just a story ... (all chronicles are).. simply something that is happening in the background... everything you see now (all chronicles... Onslaught... any weapon-x related changes and features) are just BUILDING UP to "DWX"

2nd point... EVERY big event was ALWAYS announced WEEKS (or even months) ahead of time in the loading screen of the game... ie: words like "Destinaion Weapon-X will start on XX date... BE THERE" would have been posted (weeks ahead of time)

... ssoo... if SSJKarma, or ANYONE else think (for some stupid reason) that what you see now is "Destination Weapon-X" .. it is not... it doesn't say ANYWHERE in the game that it is... it STILL says "TBA" in the loading screen.... and well... the fact that people just DONT' read (or go off rumors ??) and bitch @ me after words really doesnt' make my day (add to the fact that i came on here to say something very important.... and u gots' u'rself one pissed off TMyApp)

to wrap up that point... i will say this one (more) time... the event by the name of "Destinaion Weapon-X" (also known as DWX) will be WAY bigger than NOTS (it can't even be compred to NOTS)... and when it does happen... EVERYONE will not only know ahead of time... but... the pure force and magnitude of the event will NOT escape even the most blind and ignorant users... seconds after they first login to the game....

now thats that out of the way... here is the "important" news that i came here to post (@ 1:15am):

the next update of the game (0.6b) will feature a secret/hidden mode (multiplayer and single player) with Onslaught as a playable character.... to find out more, u'll just have to wait another 48 hours

(SSJKarma and everyone else, please re-read this post a few times b4 making a reply)

ok, i misdirected myself and added lots of thing i shouldn't said ! ok my fault if it's what you want !

but you did say that the update of the 5th was to be big !

anyway, it's not the BIGGEST thing that count. it's that you brought us an update that make proud to say THNAK YOU Tmyapp, you made my day !

[abc345]

what is the downloadable of the game ??? do you mean we dont have to get on the internet to play it or somthing

[CarlMarx]

48 hours until onslaught will come......
COOOOOOOOOL! thx TMyApp!

[quoteost_uid0="abc345"]what is the downloadable of the game ??? do you mean we dont have to get on the internet to play it or somthing[/quote]
Right now, when you play the game. You only dowload about 3-4 megs of the game. You do not download all the characters,music,backgrounds, and helpers.
You only download what you use.
So when you select a character and a helper at the character select screen....THAT is when you download the "requested" information and all this data is stored in your "temporary internet files folder" for later use.

With the Down Loadable version of the game.
You will be able to load the full 8 meg,version of the game. It will have all the "current" characters,music,backgrounds,and helpers.
The game will still be an online multi-player game as it is now.
Except that it wont be stored in your temporary internet folder like the current version is. It will be a near complete program. That could reside on your desktop or programs folder..
Any time TMyApp does some thing new to the game...you will have to download a small patch,to get all the latest updates.


Now for a question of my own.
TMyApp: Will the D/L version use IP tunneling?
Does Shockwave even support IP tunnneling?

Oh and the story line mode rocks Tmy
It's nice to see all the characters with A/I. The implimentation of a "big boss", story line, and D/L version is another big step in XvsSF history..anyone that thinks other wise has their head up their ass
Good work man.
