I think they will strive towards creating new interfaces and almost a full new game, which will be good, but won't really be much of a mod.
Whereas if they just released their units, a few script changes it could be great, but that's just me, that's my philosophy towards this whole thing anyway

a question about your map will you be able to enter the buildings

[Dyson]

Probably not, it was something i wanted to do, but realistically it'd take forever, sorry haha

[rafaelmfernandez]

You will be able to enter The WTC Towers and maybe some other buildings.

World Trade Center 6





I finished the rest of WTC 3

I'm agree with e34p, this mod is much better
Finally in the freeplay map, will you include the WTC?

*not on the freeplay we will have a seperate mission map, but the freeplay will feature ground zero

[e34p]

Will that be a modern day ground zero?

[Dyson]

not modern day, it will be set around 2008, I won't be adding any of the new buildings

Here mainly the building that is in the left, with the van inside.

Oh FYI guys, the mod is officially 1 year old a week on Sunday (14th) so may have a little small download available (not a promise)

My Birthday , will be like another birthday present

[rafaelmfernandez]

Hey guys rafael here,

Just arrived home this is good news and bad news. The good news is ill have some time to
Work on the mod before school starts. The bad news is.... School is starting soon. I go to a boarding school so the mod will be hard to work on and will probably slow down alot. I will still work on it everyday if possible for as long as I can. Anyways all is good and im back so viva WTC mod! And new york submod!

[ironcitycats]

Guys is there any way you can just stop with the updates and little tidbits of "sneak peaks"? Perhaps you can just email everyone when the mod is 100% done?

Maybe it's just me, but it almost seems like you guys just like the attention of EM4 mod fans. I mean there's 143 pages of pretty much people telling you how awesome it looks. I know it looks awesome, but I don't need 143 pages of you two asking "what do you guys think?". It's almost like you guys are fishing for compliments and doing it for the attention.

I check these boards almost everyday, and very rarely do I ever read anything worthwhile. I did appreciate how the other NY Mod was released unexpectedly. There was no fanfare, no polls, no previews. They just surprised us and posted the download. I've been playing EM4 mods for years and I get a funny feeling this will be a major disappointment to a lot of people when it's not released like most mods/submods.

Sorry guys, I just call 'em like I see 'em.

[aitor]

Making a mod is not thing of two days, and less if they are doing a work of that size, if you don't like to see updates don't look for it, but then don't go bitching of when is the mod ready or if its still going, besides there is already a released version...

[Dyson]

We have barely released any screens, there's about 143 pages of discussion of the mod, most of which yes we did release some screens, but thats not for 'attention' that's because, what's the point of making something then just sitting on it until it's done, we wanted to share our work, else what's the point of any of this? Lets just all sit patiently until the next mod is out, play it, get bored, wait again. I much prefer browsing forums looking at WiP mods seeing what people have achieved.

I have to say for once I think that comment was uncalled for and offensive to the team.
Goodday

[Voodoo_Operator]

ironcitycats, you bring up a very valid point and I, for one, agree with you.

I believe I've pointed out before that while there are dozens of "WIP" mods that generate hundreds of pages of comments out a few small updates every now and then, there are still only about 10 mods that ever got completed and released.

I don't think anyone should take offense in this. It's just an ascertainement.

[rafaelmfernandez]

This mod has been existing for almost a year. What do you expect two pages in the thread? Yes i love the attention of em4 fans! They are what keep me going I post pics to get feedback and when people tell me the work is looking great its like adrenaline for me and keeps me working. If I never got feedback i would not be able to work on the Wtc and Ny submod. There are developers that keep everything hidden from there supporters and there are developers like us that give out supporters something to wait for.

[ironcitycats]

Aitor, I HAVE NEVER ASKED FOR UPDATES, ETAS, OR RELEASE DATES. So let me clear the air on that.

Count how many "WIP" mods/submods have started with pics/screens/models and never, ever get released. That's a fact, not opinion.

Furthermore, I'd be the first to say that this looks great. But at the end of the day, I'm definitely not holding my breath for its release.

Even Rafael just admitted he loves the attention from the fans. Personally, if I was making a mod, I'd be doing it for my own entertainment. But I'd also share it with the community too. I am fully aware that no one in the community gets paid to create mods.
I think it's very noble that people do this on their own time and share it.

Please don't get it twisted Dyson and Rafael, you guys are doing something I could never do. But at the same time, this will all probably be a pipe dream. People have life problems, go to school, get sick, start their careers or have careers.

So yeah, 143 pages is way too much sucking up for me. Thanks for taking my side VooDoo, glad to hear someone sees the big picture. Perhaps if you spent more time on the maps/models and less time on updates, suggestions, polls and compliment-fishing, then maybe the mod would be finished by now. That's just me speaking from an efficient and productive viewpoint.

P.S. Dyson, I have seen every WIP mod and their "achievements" but it's all for naught if you can't enjoy it in the game. Looking at screens, models, maps, or uber-cool mod-support banners just doesn't cut it for me.

Anywho, don't mind me. It's just my opinion and I know a ton of people will be mad at me. But I had to make say something.
