Title: GES Update 02/14/10 [19th Feb : Release Info]
Post by: Wake[of]theBunT on February 15, 2010, 04:19:10 pm
To our loyal fans,




February 19th at 5pm U.S EST

UTC/GMT February 19th at 10pm

Your wait is up! This will be the release of the long awaited beta 4!


Small apologies for the delay on this news post. We had planned to insert the podcast 17 interview from last week, but as many may know, William, their host accidentally messed up, and deleted the show files. During this week we organized a conference of lead developers and key beta 4 developers, to give you something to make up for this! It is a devloper Q&A and a great source of insight to easily understand the ways in which we have built upon the quality of beta 3, with the additions of beta 4.

This is an encouraged listen for anyone who loves GoldenEye: Source. It details a 10 month gap in release, the promise of what is to come, and the work we each put in. It sums up so many of the reasons why 5 years of development is so worth all the sleepless nights of toil, and every memory treasured along the way. Its about the present, the future and the past. Why we consistently band together for this common goal, and drive others to attaining the height of their skills, for the end result all goldeneye fans will appreciate.

To go with this release, we have had our Wiki master, JcFerggy, overhaul the entire theme, and create new and easy pages to understand all aspects of being setup for GoldenEye: Source. He is dedicated to creating nostalgic elements for the wiki that remind us all of the original game, while also giving the pages more depth and interesting information than previously.

The bulk of the wiki will be slowly updated over the coming month or so, but the main pages and the custom theme is done and active right now! Be sure to check out the developer Q&A to hear JcFerggy go over what he has done in greater detail.

Beta 4 Changelist (http://wiki.goldeneyesource.net/index.php/Beta_4_Changelist) | To get excited about, at our new look wiki. See the many things added and tweaked, that have been covered in more detail during our developer Q&A embedded above! Enjoy.

Goldenzen brings you two of his many beta 4 tracks, set to give you many different flavors of goldeneye music. Heavily inspired by Eric Serra [goldeneye's movie composer], these pieces give a more orchestral and subtle driving feel. The style has been much slaved over, to be suited to our MP levels.

Standard Operating Procedure
, is a track done only recently, and is a revision of one of 3 generic "Multiplayer" tracks from goldeneye64. He has taken a somewhat bland composition, and breathed more life and dimension into it. Not only recreating the basic layout, but also increasing the composition to include an original section for the second half.

Aztec, is being shown to get you excited about the map Aztec, which is being released in our beta 4! This track is mix of the goldenzen orchestral bread and butter, and some synthesized elements to create a nice blend. Quite dark and moody, which is always a nice remove from the other styles we get from our other music artists.

Surely, we are being treated to have 3 artists who will one day give the gift of a catalogue of music numbering into the hundreds! Enjoy this music.




(http://my007heaven.net/gesupdates/B3/2010/14feb/servers.png)
Around two days before release, we will be supplying the Server Files for distribution to serverhosts around the globe. Whether Windows or Linux, you will be able to host our mod using the OrangeBox configuration of Source Dedicated Server! If any user wants to email a server company, we would appreciate that also and encourage all who can spread the word. With thousands of client downloads every release, GoldenEye: Source is a mod that requires hundreds of servers to handle the launch rush!

We will be working with the main supporters of GoldenEye: Source, but we also encourage all serverhosts and users to work together with this two day window, and get involved with supplying our large playerbase and any new players with even more servers than ever before, for a great GoldenEye: Source experience!

JestServers.com (http://main.jestservers.com/2010-01/we-carry-every-valve-source-game-and-all-mods/), who since Beta 3 has carried Goldeneye Source in their server package, is continuing to expand their support with a pledge of no fewer than fifteen official GES servers across many locations during the launch period of Beta 4. Their rent option is exciting for dedicated players/communities, giving the ability to rent GoldenEye: Source mod servers themselves for fair prices per slot!

We encourage ALL serverhosts willing to supply us with multiple free servers, to send us an email (wake@goldeneyesource.net) to show your interest and commitment, and for every company that supports the mod like JestServers has, will also get linkbacks and promotion via the news posts from the team. Both the players, and Team GoldenEye: Source appreciate these shows of support!

Will the achievements we've earned in 3.1.4 carry over onto Beta 4?

Post by: killermonkey on February 15, 2010, 07:28:46 pm
Yes they'll carry over if you backup your gamestate.txt in the gesource directory. I suggest you do that anyway, but the installer will do it for you just in case.

Hey guys,

I'm doing some PR for beta 4.0 and planning to do an event on my website. Do you think there will be enough servers for about 15-30 people of my people or should I get a dedicated? Actually, it's the first time I'm doing an event so it could be less or more but considering that I have 20k subscribers 15-30 should be doable ;)

Anyway, I just tried to order one at jestservers.com, but it says:
Sales are on hold until February 22nd 2010.

Will there be other places where we can get a dedicated server ?

Oliver, we will have officially ~15 servers and that's not counting any 3rd party servers. I will have 2 servers (same as the official ones just branded OWS) and WNx will have there servers. And even more, so I think you will be good. If not message me and I can see if I can get a server for you/find room for ya.

Why God, why? Why Friday?

Now I'll have two options:
1) Staying home on friday night and play GES which I have been waiting for sooooooooooooo long and feeling like I am missing out social activity and feeling like no-life-luser.

Or...

2) Going out on friday night, having a life but constantly having to think about what it is like to be playing GES beta 4 every freaking 5min on avarage (instead of sex).

aAaaaaAAAAAAAAAAaAARG!!!!!

Can't you guys postpone it 'till sunday? :'(  :-*

there´s only one solution for this problem, v!ncent: friday night is the night of the mod ! it will be the ultimate goldeneye-hurraaaaayyy-game experience, with full servers, granade launcher, rocket launcher, aztec, laser, silo, bullet penetration, alec, playing against developers etc etc. !  you´ve waited, we´ve waited too long to miss that golden night. so, grab a sixpack of beer, turn on the fucking pc and then let´s rock the whole night. and then on saturday, you can go out with a nice calm feeling and have sex with..at least 3 woman   ;D

Amateur. If you can't negotiate both, then you deserve one or the other. The prospects on the latter seem bleak-I've seen your face.  ;D :P ;) :D
Lol, With all due respect, there is no difficulty involved in me getting laid. In fact, all I have to is top ignoring. What does however requires a lot of efford is finding chick that do not turn out to be sluts...

That said, the instead of having sex part reffered to the thinking about. It is said man think about sex every 5min on avarge and the joke was that I would be thinking about beta 4 instead... :p

So it is going out with friends that I only see at weekends (and by far not everyone) Vs gaming home alone...

But beta 4 is comming extremely close to reviving my past game addiction.

Well I guess I could have sex with spiders ex' flame xD

Sucks still living under your parents rules, eh? It feels pretty good once you've cleared that part of life. Unfortunately at that point you probably have to pay for your own internet instead of your parents so really you lose either way. =P

Anyway...

Great job on B4 guys, I don't have to play it to know it's going to be amazing (although I sure as hell will.) I'm impressed with everyone who's helped this mod get to where it is today, very proud of you lot for achieving this.
A couple questions, though... What changes were made to cradle? And I remember on that last gameplay trailer for B4 you showed some not-so-great looking Moonraker tracers... did those ever get fixed to look more nostalgic and actually visible or are they going to look like what we saw in that video?

I can't wait to get in there with you guys on Friday after I get out of work... I'll be getting all my buddies with source games to grab it as well to ensure lots of players. =]
Title: Re: GES Update 02/14/10 [19th Feb : Release Info]
Post by: killermonkey on February 17, 2010, 02:22:28 pm
Unfortunately, the moonraker tracers will be shipping in that kinda-ugly state. We couldn't figure out the particle effect well enough to get the look we desired without having them clip behind the player. It's a function of the particle effect and if someone can figure it out by all means fix it and we'll release it in a patch. Since that was such a small and irrelevant problem compared to everything else Beta 4 delivers we didn't spend inordinate amount of time trying to fix it (although we did try MANY MANY options). The particle engine is simply too undocumented to pinpoint the problem.

In the teaser trailer... I couldn't help but notice that the rocket on the end of the rocket launcher doesn't actually depart from the rocket launcher when fired like it did in the original.. Looking at the model render now, it looks like it was made as part of the barrel. Is that how it will be in Beta 4?

Also I couldn't help but notice in Goldenzen's Aztec there's a very memorable portion of the song that doesn't make an appearance. 1:34 - 1:54 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhjP9WZ3bM4#t=01m34s)
Title: Re: GES Update 02/14/10 [19th Feb : Release Info]
Post by: Goldenzen on February 17, 2010, 03:58:04 pm
@mangley; actually most of the songs aren`t rebuild 1:1 - that would be boring. We want to take the great base of Norgate`s music and take it to a new dimension or a new level if you will.
So we take the original songs as a base but we feel free to add things or let things out in order to make a good overall appearance fitting together with each composer`s style.
This part you`ve mentioned is a very quiet part. In my specific Aztec version I replaced this section by a much more melodic and bassy part in order to keep the flow going.

I hope you can get used to that though because we really don`t wanna make 1:1 music conversions from the GE64 but make them more modern and interesting + add new dimension.

Post by: killermonkey on February 17, 2010, 05:24:19 pm
The rocket not leaving from the barrel is a Source Engine limitation. Either the rocket leaves from the barrel in first person view or it leaves from the barrel in third person view. We opted for the first person for obvious reasons. There is no way around this limitation without significant changes to the way projectiles are manifested.

If you take a close look at the TF2 soldier you will see that the rocket doesn't leave from his barrel either in thirdperson view.
Title: Re: GES Update 02/14/10 [19th Feb : Release Info]
Post by: Mangley on February 17, 2010, 06:23:38 pm
Yeah I understand that the projectile can't be part of the model. However I was thinking more along the lines of a first-person weapon animation where that part of the rocket launcher simply disappears when you fire and reappears when you reload, giving the impression that it was the projectile.

A similar thing could be done with the shotgun shells on the shotguns with regards to how much reserve ammunition you have.

Anyway, that was just my two cents.

what happened to your PC SharpSh00tah? and depending on the laptop, you can play at lower settings. I've got an old Pentium 4 laptop that runs beta3 alright at lower settings.

My PC took a shit :p. my laptop runs vista with 256MB ram... Yea, its slow.

I would love to see what the train level would like that, i bet you guys will come up with something bad-ass like you always do lol!!!!

Oh yea bud, it will be.

Tip: Get rid of vista!

You'd be way better off going back to xp with that, then you'd probably be fine for GE:S =]

not-so-great looking Moonraker tracers... did those ever get fixed to look more nostalgic and actually visible or are they going to look like what we saw in that video?


The tracers in the video were REALLY old and looked very bad. In my opinion, they are 100% better now than they were during that video. But as killermonkey already said, they aren't exactly the optimal. It does look like it is an actual beam now..not one little blue dot coming out like it was in the teaser. I am fairly satisfied with it when firing in first person view, not so much third person but it was either the first person view or the third person view that would look funky, and I agree with the developers that first person view was more important at this time. Rodney begs to differ..... ;)

anyways, just figured i would give you a second opinion on the lasers.

I thought Bunker is going to be addes in BETA 4. Great work guys. I am very prouid of you, and your work. 3 Years ago, i never thought, that GoldenEye: Source excists. Now it is hear, better then ever.
A dream for every GoldnEye: 007 Fan.

Very great. I can´t say more. JUST COOL


The bunker will be in GE:S beta 4 but not in the release because they are not finished with the level itself.

Correction, Bunker will NOT be in beta 4. It is being completely redone and will most likely make the next version of the game. There is a community bunker map that might be finished here soon, but no word on that recently.

Are asking about the Achievements?  Because the installer will have an option to copy over your old file.  If you are talking about stats on a server that is up to the host.  We do not have a built in stats system yet

I was asking about the stats plugin page thingy (which only the Wnx servers use, I guess).
                                                     ________

And who keeps giving me bad rep for no reason? I have barely even said anything yet. Hehe, sad.

Do you want me to start giving you reasons to do this? Should I start doing things that deserve it?

I know, I know. It's a bunch of BS that doesn't mean anything.

Yeah, in fact, I WANT you to de-rep me. Negative numbers are my nourishment.

Finally got a chance to hear the interview you organized Wake, well done. Also to the developers who contributed, that was great. I wish I could of been apart of it.

Time just isn't on my side at the moment, or as of late. I would have liked to contribute to BETA 4 more than I did, especially content wise, but I've been limited to more of a oversight role.

One thing I'd like to add to what you guys touched on with the part about Nickster at the end of the interview; That was very touching to hear everyone talk about him and how we've all kind of stuck together to achieve what we have so far (and to come). When I first heard of what happened with him, it was really difficult for me and alot of the other developers because I was a pretty young developer at that point.. I was one of the freshmen developers, and Nickster took me in and shortly after assigned me as the lead 3d artist. After the whole thing went down, I remember having a big drive to help take over the role as the project lead, as well as Spider, Enzo, and Fourtecks. That was probably one of the hardest thing to do, to follow in his footsteps and make sure that the project continued on in the right direction. I'm so proud that the team embraced that drive, especially now that my time is limited.

As i said in my release info, they are available 2 days prior and interested hosts are meant to be using wake@goldeneyesource.net to enquire about the process of getting files, that is the present and future protocol for doing this early releasing :)

Anyone who is a real serverhost, can PM and link me to their site or provide evidence they are a DEDICATED serverhost for GE:S, can get the files in the final 12 hours til release time, to be setup in time.

Wake, I saw that in the release info, but I guess I misread it as just asking for the files to host for download, not for the game hosts.  Thanks for the clarification.

I definatley won't be able to wait to try out the Beta 4, but unfortunately due to a hard drive crash on my computer and having it send back to the company to be repaired will delay me more than likely to try it.
