Looks like the bugs have stopped rolling in. pb2 should be released within a week or so.

since-1.3pb2 is almost done will it fix some of the problems for g66 v21

GM, You have the current beta or at least access to it. I also believe you have Commando's patch for FE. Why don't YOU test FE, FS and G66 v2.0b19 and find out for yourself. I don't think anyone other than Natty has access to v2.1 atm. OH...and stop asking stupid questions that you can easily find the answers to yourself. :roll:

A big hand to GSH and Ken for the hard work that went into this, and for putting up with all the noise in getting it done.

And a big hand to those who tested it and who made the usefull suggestions for enhancements.

Voluntary work does not always get the appreciation it deserves. This work should.

Thank you and congratulations.

Well Hello Ladies and Gents,
I have been away for awhile, but never really gone.
I started in the beginning.. Got BZ the day it came out and BZII I was out at lunch picking up my copy.
This is certainly one of those games which is truly great and can really stand the test of time.
I really just registered to give a shout and thank you to GSH.

Dude, Thank you.  You guys started working on this when all hope was lost to fix up the issues that the game had due to a rushed release.
I was amazed and grateful then and certainly feel the same way now.  You stuck in there when we could all tell there were times when you were fed up with the whole thing when certain people started spouting off about things that they wanted out of a project you were doing in your spare time.
I'm sure you would have thought differently about working on it if things were presented with a bit more respect. 

Not to get all caught up in a rant....
I'm glad you’re still there plugging away.
And I'm WAY GLAD your coming out with beta 2 "soon".

Your work is much appreciated..

And not to be all greedy and stuff, but if you wanted to send me a link to the software tonight then.... well... it would just be cool. :-)
(Don't worry I know better, it was just a lame attempt at being the greedy butter the programmer up dude to get something before everyone else guy)...

But seriously... Do you have like a BZ pen you could send me?  Or one of those BZ lighters that I heard about that play the ISDF theme when you light up?
I'm all aquiver.

Sincerely...
THANKS

I would like to say that playing mpi on the internet has been my favorite thing to do even though I have most of the newest shooters on the market. I'll buy a new game, play it for a while, beat it, but never seem to be all that challenged buy any of the ai in any game. Except for Battlezone II, the one exception. I can never get enough of this. I'm usually left sweating when I'm done. You can lead a certain sized army up against the ai base, and lose in that attack, or the same size army in another game and win. It's never the same. Mainly I want to thank everyone for making this new patch, you all deserve a round of applause for sticking with it. Hopefully cmptrwz will post the new patch correctly on the bzuniverse main page. The current 1.3 patch is listed as being on the front page, but the link is broken, and always has been as far as I know. I don't know what the plan is for posting this patch on fileplanet and other advertisement, but I hope someone is on it. We need players to know about this. I'm sure many people who do have the game have tried to get on the net and failed because the patch 1.3 is  being advertised on Gamespy as being on bzuniverse, but the link is broken. Of course we all know to look at bzscrap or in the forums, but not everyone knows this. I have helped quite a few people to load the game, people who try to join and can't because of this or that. But I can't do it all. My games of late have become a knowledge sharing experience on how to load the game, which is fine. But if someone is on this, getting the patch on the right media, why don't you let us know here in the forums what is being done. Maybe it'll give us players something else to be tickled about until the patch is officially out. I'd love to read about it in PC Gamer Magazine or something like it.

As with any patch, it won't be perfect and so there will still be bugs that people will find, hence the BETA stamp on it.

We will be relying on the wider audience to test it more and we all hope to hear constructive feedback from everyone.

I don't think your views on the patch were ever the issue DS, everyone is entitled to an opinion on these things and if you don't like the patch you are well within your rights to say so , criticise the patch all you want if indeed that is what you want to do, it's when you make personal attacks on the developers that you step over the line of acceptability.

Attack the patch as much as you like but nobody has the right to attack the person who sacrificed many, many hours of their life ( and I doubt any of the work was particularly enjoyable ) in an attempt to improve our game for us, whether you like the end results or not.

Very well Put, 1.3 should stand or fall based upon its gameplay...nothing else.

As far as OMods, I plan at least 3 to 4 installs of BZ, 1.2 of course, 1.3 for MPI and Mods...Fleshstorm 1st amongst those...I am anticipating in advance PB 2 works for me, where previously pb1 did not.

DS, there was absolutely nothing about Lizard's post that was inflammatory, and I have to agree with him completely.

All views and discussion about the patch are encouraged, even negative ones.

NO views or discussion about the person(s) behind the patch will be tolerated.  Period.

Making it personal is inflammatory, childish, and uncivil, and other than a polite "thank you" for the time and effort spent I for one don't want to see anything targeted at Ken and/or Nathan.

I expect to have things ready in a few weeks.
(yes, I have been busy with my real life recently and my BZ committment will stay reduced. but I will finish what I started. this also means getting bz2md back up to snuff as well as fish.xsi in its new form on the wiki)

Make sure it's the nose on the vehicle, not the one on your face, although that might help also.
