===========================================================================================================
Q: Woah, looks like this thing's
gonna rock! When will it come out?
A: Originally
it was planned to be released on the 15th of August, but we moved
the release for a unknown time. We have some good reasons for doing that.
Release date: "when it's done"
Q: Ehm.. Any screens?
A: Screens
will come every once in a while, when a map is in beta and it is
screen-worthy, so to say.
Q: Can I beta-test?
A: Nope,
sorry. We can test our own content. But
we'll give you a call if we need testers ;)
Q: I have something ready. I'd like to join or submit my work, ?
A: Well, at the moment we are still
accepting new map / other submissions for the pack, as 3rd party.
Q: Are you guys gonna have a bar logo?
A: Haven't you
noticed yet on the frontpage? Or you think you can make us a better
one? ;)
Q: What FHCP downloads can I expect besides current?
A: Our pack
when it's released and maybe some wallpapers too.
Q: I can't do anything by means of coding/mapping/modelling etc. but
would like to help
A: Drop us a
line and tell us how you think you can help us.
Q: How big will the file size be?
A: That's
really hard to tell right now. Expect it to be quite big, so 56k's
beware! :)
Q: Will this pack contain any bug fixes?
A: If you mean
fixes for FHIv3.1, the use of Satore Monster Pack and
UT2004RPG...No! Since it's not our work, we can't fix it. Fixes
should be on the modders side. But that's not really irrelevant in
our case is it?
Q: What map game types are being made?
A: The team
are trying to make all types of maps; normal FHI, OBJ and of course
BOSS and the new one's, see below.
Q: Are Any new game types being included?
A: Yes, Boss
Rush and Fraghouse Reloaded.
Note:
Fraghouse Reloaded is a working title and may change in the future.
Q: What exactly are these new
gametypes?
A: Boss Rush
let you fight Boss after Boss. The number of Bosses can be
configured in the menu. Example: you have 4 normal waves and 4
bosses. Kill a boss, another respawns. Fraghouse Reloaded brings
back the original spawn system to FHI a la Assault with options
like; number of life's, x seconds per reinforcements and more. I
don't want to give to much info away, find out the rest yourself
when released.
Q: What kind of themed maps can I expect?
A: All sorts,
we have quite a few mappers on the team and we all think different
and produce different kinds of work
Q: As V3 of FHI uses new monsters, can I still use SMP or similar in
the maps?
A: Basicly it's possible to use SMP in all the maps.
Q: How well will these maps run on my PC
A: The team is
aware that FHI uses more resources then normal game types for UT.
For this reason, maps are not over detailed and optimised best as
possible. However, some maps do require more power then current FHI
maps
Q: Is the pack just containing Maps?
A: No, our
pack will also include some mutators, new weaponry and gametypes. Hm..
have i forgot something? :p
Q: I notice some map names are all ready included in FHI, what’s
with that?
A: Yes, some
maps may have similar names, that’s because some of our maps are
re-makes of the original, this will probably not replace the V3
maps, they are more or less updated maps.
Q: Are any new Boss monsters included in any of the maps?
A: Not at
current, but perhaps later...or perhaps not!?
Q: The CBP came in two volumes, will this work the same for this
project?
A: Hang on!
Let’s just finish the first map pack! See what response we get, if
its good you never know, a second Map pack could be made....after we
all have a break....no plans as of now though.
Q: I don’t have the V3 FHI MOD, im using an older version.
A: Upgrade to
V3 then, you should be using that anyway! If for some reason you
don’t want to, then we can’t guarantee all maps (if any) work
properly, if you use version 1, that’s a big NO!!!
Q: If after the pack is released, you find a certain map to have a
big flaw, or feed back seems to indicate a certain map needs
something changed, will I be updated?
A: That
totally depends on the author of the map. However, all maps are tested fully for major bugs and tweaked for
fun game play.
Q: What if something goes wrong near the release date and it won’t
be finished on time....you will still release it wont you?
A: Hopefully
all will go as planned, if something does happen, don’t worry, the
map pack WILL be released, even if it’s a tad late!
Q: How long has this project been going on for?
A:
Early July 2004 |
