The latest released version of this mode can be downloaded from this topic's first post.

I've created a seperate forum topic for DAD mode where forum members can post translations: http://forums.geshl2.com/index.php/topic,7482.msg78055.html#msg78055

All the text which will need to be translated is listed in that topic's first post.

[Joe]

I will release a new version of this mode this week which will use the French & German translations that have been created by kraid and namajnaG.

My Polish friend is working on a Polish translation, so I will wait for him to finish it before I release the new version.

I've released Alpha 1.03, its changes are listed in this topic's first post.

Alpha 1.04 Development Status

I'm now not going to create a DAD bot for this version because I've had trouble using the current GE:S version's bot scripting system. So I will wait until I can use the next GE:S version's improved bot scripting system.

Development Task List (Updated: 16/4    13:05 GMT + 1)

Implemented:
• Add Spanish translation.
• Add Italian translation.
• Add Polish translation.
• Make pulsating rings appear beneath active REs.
• Prevent players from having to wait behind bots in their side's resurrection queue.
• Display MI6 and Janus survivor counts on eliminated players' screens.
• Display MI6 and Janus survivor counts on spectators' screens.
• Tell eliminated players what their resurrection queue position is by using a permanent HUD message instead of occasional pop up messages.

I've now released Alpha 1.04 but I've not included resurrection sound effects with this version because I want to make them sound better and I want to make sure that I correctly use these licensed sound effects.

The released versions of this mode can be downloaded from this topic's first post.

[Joe]

I've created a GE:S wiki page for this mode.

Hey Joe, you do a great job.

[killermonkey]

I've been super busy with work recently. Going to try and get you the 4.2.3 preview asap for your testing.

[Joe]

Thanks KillerMonkey.

Hey Joe, you do a great job.

Thanks

Alpha 1.10's Development Status

Development Task	Status	Extra Info
Implement The Long Range Resurrection Ability.	Done
Allow server owners to change the duration of resurrections with a CVAR.	Done
Show all players the location of a used RE on their radar.	Done	Server owners will be able to set the duration of this with a CVAR. In MOHAA Freeze Tag, players are told where their enemies' REs have been used. DAD mode is meant to be a recreation of this popular MOHAA mode, this is why I'm implementing this gameplay change.
Move RE Gravestones To Player Death Locations.	Usable	I still need to create an efficient function for working out the location of the ground beneath mid-air players, so gravestones can't yet be spawned beneath players who are killed in mid-air.
Display MI6 And Janus LRR Ability Lasers.	Done
Add A Resurrection Sound Effect To This Mode.	Can't be implemented in the current GE:S version	The GEUtil.StopSound() function can't stop the resurrection sound when resurrections fail.
Allow Players To Resurrect Multiple Team Mates Simultaneously.	Done
Implement a DAD mode bot.	Won't be implemented in this version.
Change Elim&Resurrection Messages' Font Colour To Blue & Red.	Done
Add A Dutch Translation.	Cancelled	There's no Dutch translation file in the wiki so I don't think the new GE:S version will have it.
Add Translations To The Official Language Files.	Done
Fix The Friendly Fire Gameplay Exploits.	Done
Make A Gravestone's HUD Objective Icon Become Yellow When It's Being Used.	Done

[Joe]

I've not spent much time working on this mode this month but I will start working on it again next week.

The latest released version can be downloaded from this topic's first post.

[Joe]

I've now implemented the long range resurrection ability.

I will try to finish the new alpha version by July 14th.

[Joe]

I don't think I will be able to release a new DAD mode version today, but I do think that I will be able to release version Alpha 1.10 soon.

[Joe]

WARNING: Alpha 1.04 And Prior Releases May Contain Bugs
Killermonkey has noticed a mistake in the script for the latest WIP version of this mode, this mistake might be capable of causing bugs in all the alpha version's I've released.

As a precaution I have now removed the download attachment for Alpha 1.04 from this topic's first post.

[Joe]

I will finish and release Alpha 1.10 tomorrow.
