This wait is so you enjoy it even more.

Gone to camp out

[Baloogan]

Hiya, just woke up. Not here YET!

[ViperJSW]

Well, if i'm correct, he does have tille noon.

[Baloogan]

Now it is the 21, a little off SC!

[Cmdr Nova]

I agree with $lik. Remember that not all websites are based on the US Eastern Coast. I bet the demo file is out there, but SC is doing what $Lik said. No one wants the ftp problems that plagued the 1st 2 days of the released of Episode 1. SC doesn't either, I'm sure.

Um, we do have to wait until time itself crosses over the international date line, to be sure.

Around 7hrs, 20min. But I think my math's wrong. Anyone?

I guess this is our punishment for disobeying a direct order from SC.......

Well, I think we should quit camping and just go on with our lives the rest of the day. There's always the night to do your dirty work. Also, when he said midnight, you see he didn't say where (what time zone).............

If you build it, they will come...

I see all of you disobeyed a direct order not to camp the site.

..but its OK, no court martials this time, since some of these posts are the most hilarious I've seen all week.

Anyway, some of you may recall that the last demo I did, was on exclusive to VE. TWO days after I sent them the demo, they couldn't post it, due to server problems, bandwidth issues etc. In the end, I had to yank the exclusive, get in touch with the File Planet guys, as well as my other buddies across the Net, to host it.

Problem #2 is that my bandwidth usage is bordering on ludicrous and as I've said before, there is NO way in hell that I am going to host my demos. With that in mind, the File Planet guys gave me access to their upload mirror last night, to which the demo was sent. The problem is that the other sites won't have a place to download the demo from because you now need to register over at the FP site, in order to download stuff. Don't forget too that BCM demo got about 30K downloads over on FP alone. So, I have every incentive to have it up there properly....without alienating my other friends in the e-media.

Then...Tim over at 3Dfiles.com informed me that their FTP upload is broken, so, I can't upload to them either. They'd have to download from me or elsewhere.

By 9.35pm, I was sitting on the demo, with it only going up to FP.

I continue to work on THE GAME, right up to 5.45am this morning. I went to bed and woke up at 8.15am.

As it stands, the demo has gone to several sites and Tucows will advise me when their mirrors are online.

Once I get at least two sites with the demo mirrors online, I will update the demo readme with the new links.

Just because you guys have waited so patiently (not), I will add an extra IA script to the E2 demo, for a total of 3. This one will be a Planetary Support Pilot in command of Hag, deep inside hostile territory. I will make this available as a separate script file download (about 10K) or if I have time, I will just repak the demo with the new script and re-upload to the mirror sites, before they go live.

Thanks for being patient. As you can see, it always pays to stick it out with me, no matter what the odds. Hang in there guys, you are going to LOVE this demo.

If you guys want to shoot the breeze, catch me on IRC. I'm on gamesnet in the #BCM room. I'll be in and out a lot, so don't expect me to be sitting here staring at it.
