Title: Any set deadline to enter maps for 1.2 base release?
Post by: gman19 on May 23, 2007, 01:25:11 pm

I've got a map I've been working on (okay...have saved to my hard drive collecting electronic dust for the past 2 months) and it is nowhere close to being done. I would really like to have it in beta sometime in June, then a final release in either July or August. I'm rushing it because my summer break starts Thursday and ends halfway into August. Once school starts back up, I'll have zero time whatsoever to work on the map. Plus, my physical training regime I'm starting won't allow for much focused work time during the summer, either. So, is there any general deadline for submissions to the base install of 1.2?

As there is currently no release date, there is no deadline, too. Just take all the time you need, to make a good map. Anyway, rushed 'crap' won't make it's way into the package, so don't hurry.

WTF is everyone freaking out about this its coming out when its coming out any way it well be worth the wait the longer it takes the better it is.

@DASPRiD how are servers going to work on 1.2? do we have to remake them or well they work on 1.2?

I agree that some speaking about map-contrib-freeze etc. would be nice to have.

Beeing the anoying guy i am, i have the feeling that this relates to dev workflow professionalisation (http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4861)

I know few if any devs here like fixed dates, IMHO they are not needed for games anyway, but even without them some states between "we are working on it"(svn) and "we release it" would be nice for a good QA :) .. the ping sorting is a pain to all users that cannot compile for themselfes for over a year, to give an example where proper public testing might have helped during creation of 1.1.0.

the linux users among us probably know this page Ubuntu Feisty release schedule (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule)

would it be so hard? ;)
