CSPromod 1.04 Update and Beta Testing

[cashed]

*** dragged from gotfrag.com interview with Alex Garfield *** link (http://www.gotfrag.com/cs/story/43719/)



For those curious, are you able to give a progress update regarding ProMod?

Yes. While mass-speculation is that the project is once again dead, the truth is that we've been working on CSP consistently since our last release almost a year ago on February 9th, 2008. We've finished more than 100 bug fixes, feature additions, and tweaks over this time period, and are very happy and excited with the state of the project. Just today, we began closed testing on Beta 1.04, and we anticipate a release by mid-February.

We're actually offering open access to the beta testing team for 1.04, and we still have a few spots left - so if anyone out there still believes in CSPromod, come find us on IRC and we'd be happy to offer you a beta-testing spot :).

[krybi]

and irc channell is ?

[paradox]

and irc channell is ?
Just a wild guess - try #cspromod
I wouldn't bother trying to get a beta testing spot though

[cashed]

once alex gives you the ok he will give you the beta channel

[rvT]

I've invited You cashed and chibsquad to my friends list but you haven't accepted. I'm interested in beta testing.

[krybi]

i want that channel iam so hot to testing !!!!:D :twisted:

[kro]

Same xD

[KaNaR]

Good to see some news :)

Looking forward to this beta :)

[daNKen]

I want to test as well!

Is that posibble?

Ar there some restrictions to be a Beta tester?

[cashed]

rvt i dont add ppl to friends really, only friends i know :)

[rvT]

k, but I wanna be beta tester xD

[1nfern0]

Man I played this game for bout 8 years, I now have a week off school... I think i'm gonna apply for this beta testing.

Thanks for the direct update, good to hear some news =)

[Improved]

Great news cashed.

Tell me, how can one apply for 1.04 beta testing? I too want to be part of it, if its possible.

Thanks in advance.

That's too bad, Alex never answers :?

[cashed]

i think he wants to keep in NA right now due to pings

[PestY]

i wanna be a tester 2, but im from the netherlands..

GL with testing.

[s3m1h]

you are full? i wait since more than one year... :o

[smartin]

a lot of people have waited for a long time.. that's not the point. the point is to invite people that constructively can test the new beta out and be available during night-time. some dudes applied for the beta testing and were accepted. you were either too slow, or had bad timing :)

no worries, i'm no beta tester either ;>

[1nfern0]

aha yeah. I've been supporting this mod since the beginning (i first read into it around mid 2006). I'm mature (18), great analyzer (non-biased), perfect experience (been playing since 1.0), available for testing time, and finally, North American.

I didn't get it either but oh well, they can't give it to everyone here :P Public beta should be released soon enough anyways.

[TrippaKappa]

I am new to the forum and dont know much about csp, but i do know that source killed counter strike. I have played counter strike source once and have never again, and dont plan to. I have seen only the images that i have been able to find online about csp and think that anyone that enjoys playing css should not test this one. I think that it should be someone that has played cs since before steam since before it was huge and that still loves the game for the reasons that it was big to start out with. I have not downloaded the csp 1.03 beta but plan on downloading it when i get home (at work) so i cant tell you what i think of it so far, but i think that as long as all they are doing to cs is making it better, not altering player movements and functions then i think everything will be great, and you will see players that only play 1.6 come and play csp and i think that it might win back those players that made the switch to source.

If i was looking for people to test this game i would want people that have been with cs since teh begining (beta 1.3 or before)

but this is all just my 2 cents.

Mate, usually u are one of the wise ones on this site, but Counter strike in general is like a religion, lol.

But yeah, Counter strike is about the feeling as u know and to be completely honest, CS:S sucks in all aspects EXCEPT the graphics, but that's thanks to the Source enginge, not by the motivation behind the team that developed CS:S. If only the right people would have worked on (back then) Counter strike 2 (now CS:S). So many screenshots/videos on the net before the game arrived only for it to suck like a prostitute on a freeday. CS:S is bad, REALLY bad. Change is good no matter what, but that game ain't right no matter how much CS:S people try to say otherwise.

CS1.6 and even CS:Z over CS:S everyday!

[1nfern0]

Yeah true. I got into competitive source for atleast a good year.. but then i started to miss old cs :P

It was just source starting out that was pretty shitty. After a few years they ironed out most of the bugs and just made the game so much mroe improved.

Well, I don't really see why CS:S is so terrible. I think the problem is a lot of you guys have been playing CS since pre-1.5 or whatever, and because it stayed basically the same for so long it's difficult for you guys to make the transition.

You see I started playing CS:S, and pretty quickly started playing 1.6 because, well, my PC couldn't really handle Source :lol: so I don't really have an allegiance to either game, although I will say I prefer 1.6 while preferring to play Source because that's where all the scrims/pugs/ladders are.

The only real, gamebreaking difference in the games are that Source lacks wallbanging/spamming. You'd be surprised how similar the recoils and other game mechanics are to 1.6, it's just the game feels different due to sounds, model POVs and the such. Of course I'm not denying that a lot of the 'features' of Source such as the flashbang effects are stupid and are part of the reason why 1.6 is still king.

Source actually improves on 1.6 in a number of ways besides graphics; netcode, radar and the lack of TS :lol: are all good things, and CS:P will incorporate them.

I can understand that you guys think 1.6 is better, and I agree, but that doesn't mean Source is bad.

Each to his own opinion in the end but I gotta say that wallbanging/spamming aint the only thing CS:S lacks. The feeling, movement, motion, jumping... all in all the "motoristic" of a player is way of in CS:S and how the grenades just stop after bouncing of a wall. Sure, neither game is realistic but no game in the world is. Changing the core things of an otherwise great game is for me incomprehensible.

The feeling of the game mate, thats the most important thing. For example, to this day NO-ONE has been able to copy the feeling of World of Warcraft even though MANY have tried.

[croqstudios]

I've been playing CS since beta 7 until early 1.6
Then quit for about 2 or 3 years, and came back when source came out.

CS:S has an aweful lot of bugs indeed, many things that are better in 1.6, but so many other things that are better in CS:S also .

My opinion about 1.6 <> CS:S , thus how cspromod should become:

Grenades:
you can't be serious willing to use nades like the 1.6 ones, totally unrealistic!
The cs:s nades aren't that bad, they need some slight tweaking though.

Models:
Many of you think CS:S models are WAY too big. In fact it's a bit of both ... 1.6 models are way too small, CS:S are a bit too big... Again.. go for something in between.

Aim
There is no question the aim of 1.6 (or even... 1.3 or 1.5) has to be acquired. CS:s aim is way too random

Netcode
The source netcode just ain't right.. Such bad registration server side... Not easy to configure a good server..

weapons
The cs:s weapons are quite ok. so are the ones i've seen from promod. keep it up!

maps
Nice job on CSP maps, especially on inferno. The cs:s inferno is really bad.

Wallbanging
I think wallbanging should be brought to CSP, but not like it was in 1.6 ... which was ridiculous in some cases.
Try to make it a bit realistic. Shooting through crates, wooden walls, thin-medium walls, thin iron , ... But please ... don't make it go shooting through meters thick concrete walls 'n stuff ...

[Redstar]

Public beta should be released soon enough anyways.

Well, not before February 15th, I think it will be released by the end of February

[dk3]

I'm seriously tired of realism! Go kill people in real life...

[1nfern0]

Yeah, in the sum of waiting about a year for this release, another half a month isn't that long.



I'm seriously tired of realism! Go kill people in real life...

ahaha, IE. people trying to bring Battlefield dynamics into cs.

[kro]

CS:s aim is way too random

If this were entirely true being a pro source player like being best aim on source should be totally impossible and the best aimers on source would change every month but it's really not the case. So source aim is maybe a bit more random but the real problem is all the hitboxes and model stuff that makes crouchbug available and all this crap on net.

[sevoii]

I'd hate to be a beta tester. Would love to see the mod, but shit, must suck anus looking for bugs...

All these slight differences don't really change the game at all though. It's just that 1.6 players are used to 1.6, and Source feels different to them. That doesn't mean Source is a worse game. I'm not saying it isn't mind you, I think 1.6 is better on the whole, but you can't say Source is terrible on the basis that it is slightly different from 1.6, it is difficult to copy a game on a new engine, as the time taken to develop CS:P is showing :lol:

Well true that, but still, CS:S should have been an improvement of CS1.6 not the other way around. Graphics aint everything. I wouldnt mind the wait, I could of waited 1 or 2 more years for a REAL improved version/successor of CS1.6. Yes, that's hard to accomplish, everyone knows that. But Valve wanted to go mainstream and make a quick buck, they didnt care about the competitiveness of the game. Now mainstream isn't always bad, but in this case it hurt Counter strike in general, thats why CS:P was created.

...As we didnt know all of this already :P. I just hope that CS:P can save Counter strike, cause CS1.6 will eventually die. I want to continue to shoot some headshots in the future... I tried COD4 for some time, even competed and attended to Cod Qcup 2008, but still it couldnt beat the awsomeness of Counter strike.

Two equaly good teams battling it out on de_inferno, now thats some shit right there!

//Wants CS:P 1.04 naowwwwwwwwwwwww

[smartin]

True shit right there.
Mid-March here we come.

[Redstar]

Mid-March? maybe sooner, if you go to the #cspromod channel on irc, you'll be able to see that another closed beta should be organized by february 15th, but since we haven't heard anything for a while, I don't know if it will be the last one before the release.

[smartin]

Yeah, already know about that closed beta in Feb.
I just think there will be another delay, and if not, then I'm simply happy to be wrong ;)

About CS:Promod

I would like to be a CS:P tester. If that is possible, that would be great.

Short info about me.
Work experience:
Testing “Software AG” products on Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Professional, Windows VISTA, UNIX, SOLARIS and LINUX OS. Creating manual tests for EntireX and Natural testing.
Testing Jelgavas Ko?ener?cija Billing IT system.
-Work on WM-data project called Electronic Data Interchange that provides BTS (Business Transaction Service). Creating and updating scripts using EDIConv language for XML files conversion.
Name and address of employer: SIA „SWH SETS”, Riga, Latvia

I have note ever tested any games buy in my case i would like more to do the ingame (playing) testing as well could do any kind of testing. As i have played Counter Strike since year 2000 starting from beta versions, 1.1, 1.3, 1.5, 1.6.
Played in national WCG draft for World WCG in 2002. At present i still play some National small tournaments at cs1.6 and i see that CS:P should take cs1.6 place world wide. CS1.6 is morally and physically behind the times. Some really good talents i've seen turning to Team Fortress 2 and other games because of that.
I would like to help you to bring CS:P - this game faster to life without any payment or reward. If you need one i would like to- in my spare time. :)

[sevoii]

If you seriously have tested all those programs/software, Why the f$!% would you wanna test more! BS TALKER!

[Lordearon]

and past mid february :)

[Apoqramses]

we wait now one year and a little bit more...

one week less or more makes no difference....

i´m lucky i´ve played a browsergame during the last 5-6 months so i nearly forgot everything about CSP....

a few days ago i watched this site again...and i thought now there is a new release,...but no...disappointment

but i think we must wait longer....one month more or less makes no difference anymore :lol:

[s3m1h]

slowly it is time to release :)

[Beetz9000]

I want to test this I've been playing this forever and I'm really interested to see how big of a hit CSP will be.

Can I test?

[macadoum]

Release?

[andY]

im down for a release, right about now.

:shock:

A beta-test is designed to find bugs that need to be fixed before the release.

sorry... i maybe must disappoint you all...

there´ll be no csp beta 1.04 release EVER...it´s just a try to find out how long a community believes in a hl2 mod which will NEVER be released...maybe it´s an idea of the mafia, maybe not...i don´t know...but it takes t00 l0ng t0 r3l3453 7h15 1337-M0D...

[haden]

this mod is not 1337

they are just idiots which say new release dates every month but nothing comes out.
and that is fact!(since april 08)

i can just say it again: bloody liar


if 1.04 comes out this year(maybe after 10 new release dates) ... then it will be the biggest fail 3v3r

[Spritz]

I'm wondering at what rate they fix bugs.

[haden]

maybe they have noticed that their complete game is a bug

[KaNaR]

Maybe they aren't good modders ;)

[cashed]

there hasnt been any coding for about a week and a half due to mizzack in hawaii for a week and amogan in france without net for a 2 weeks. we should be getting rolling again this week.

You clearly have time to waste posting on the forums for a mod you do not believe in. If you really didn't care, you wouldn't be coming onto the website and posting your whiny bullshit and waiting for an update. Grow up kiddies and smell the roses, who said they have to provide updates on the status of their work? It's only so they don't get flamed more by little retards like yourselves.

[LIONz]

Learn from NS2 developers they make videos of work in progress, to show off to players, they make podcast reports of what they do and what they are planing to do, and their community grows not like csp community witch consists only of 5% fans and 95% flamers show us something that is worth this long waiting and then you will get normal responses. Actually i cant think of any thing what needs so long time work on in so small modification. First release was hyped out and turned out to be crap (no offense but that's my opinion) i believe this time will be the same shit over again.

[cashed]

i really like what NS2 is doing as well and i am looking forward to its completion. fact of the matter is there a dev company and thats there career.

[saidypoo]

I dunno why people keep asking for updates. It's very simple at this point for cspm, release something that isn't garbage, or lose all your following. I assume this is why they've taken so much time for this next beta, they know it has to be fully playable, or no one is gonna care to check the next release. In my opinion theres no need to update us till 1.04 is out thats the only update i care about at this point.

[blaze2136]

[wtfpwnage]

Little question, will 1.04 be actually playable, I mean in matches and stuff?

I really thought we were going to have a release in Feb, if not early this month, I don't think there is much point in an ETA for 1.04, I know I'm not going to believe it.

The mod will be released when it gets released, I just hope it's not too far away ;)

[brott]

lol I think I read something along the lines of "Feb 26 at the most" :P But well... if we have waited for so long, another month is no big deal.

[cashed]

found more bugs in testing that we wanted to get rid of before a release. 1.04 is fairly controversial and we need to get the game playing as good as possible.

Throw in an HLTV when you're testing. Then make a vid out of the scrim ;)

yess, a simple scrim move would boost the hope :)

i guess you mean SourceTV :P
its like 1 command: tv_enable 1 (not 100% sure but i have it on my CSS Scrim server)

Sounds rather promising Cashed, best to get rid of bugs! (:
Im just surprised no one has recorded a scrim yet. Its not a requirement, but it would be a nice small update. *Lets people 'Ahem' cream in there pants* :D

lol, well that would be ruining the surprise ;) and not to mention being against the NDA...

[nitr0us]

Unless we get a go from Alex... sounds like a good idea. Maybe I'll ask him or something D:

Lies! there are no rules in piracy, Canada proven that with isohunt :L they are true Linux distributors Canadians ;) :lol: :lol: :lol:

[g0ry]

Oh god, oh god, I just saw a 1.04 video of inferno (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQEqv6fOlyc), and that really awoke the beast in my pants!
I'm really, really, REEAAALLY looking forward to CSP 1.04b! But I won't set my standards too high, eventhough I'm really hyped (don't worry, I'm not expecting to find the meaning of my life or something).

When can we expect to see it?
(I know, I know, kind of stupid question, but I gotta ask just for the hell of it).

It seems that you've sacrificed A LOT of time with this beta version, and I thank you for that! :)
It's a long time since I tried CSP (1.01b) for the first time, but for some reason I just got a revelation that I had to register on this forum and download 1.03b! Hehe, I wanted to bug report and stuff, but now I will wait for the next release before I comply :P

Oh god, oh god, I just saw a 1.04 video of inferno, and that really awoke the beast in my pants!

lol, actually it's not a "1.04 video", I made it a few months ago but it was on beta 1.03 with the new version of the map.

[smartin]

I think he meant that it's the 1.04 version of inferno

[RodrigoZanotta]

i can't wait to get my hands on csp 1.04 :twisted:

release date anytime soon?

[to0om17]

And i still say what i said =]

[slayer]

found more bugs in testing that we wanted to get rid of before a release. 1.04 is fairly controversial and we need to get the game playing as good as possible.
We all understand that but we want more regular updates on how thing are going that is all :)
btw can you tell us if the spectator mode is fixed ? so that its now "wachtable"?

thanks in advance

[s3m1h]

I WANT ONLY WEEKLY UPDATENEWS OR EVERY TWO WEEKS!!!

[Sn00p]

Lies! there are no rules in piracy, Canada proven that with isohunt :L they are true Linux distributors Canadians ;) :lol: :lol: :lol:
Canadians are best Country in the world following Netherlands :D
Any way, cant wait for 1.04 release :)

[slipkn6t]

Just relise it as it is
One damn year has passed

[esk]

WHY would they release it to the public when they obviously know it still has some pretty significant bugs, they are just trying to correct as many as they possibly can. Cause lets face it, this beta is generating a lot of hype and they want it to live up to expectations and not make the same mistake they made in the past. ;)

[slipkn6t]

I hadn't visited the site for about a year or so untill I saw the CSP overview @ gotfrag
Today morning I was wondering to download RC version or something, but not the 1.03 that I used to play last year
shame on you :D

[smartin]

no, shame on you

[sevoii]

hmmm, i dont care how long it takes, the longer the better it should be. Just some news would be amazing!

[smartin]

nah, news won't do any good anyway. if there would be any news, I could easily summarize every one of them like this: we're making progress, fixing bugs and perfecting gameplay. ted's working on the maps.

that's what's going on, and that's what we'll be doing until we're satisfied ;)

[RodrigoZanotta]

Until the cspromod release date, we have two choses:

1- Play the old and good CS1.6, with opengl graphics on 2009.
2- Play the nice CSSource, but with the horrible maps like de_inferno on Source.

:oops:

[yuri]

opengl graphics on 2009
OpenGL != sux graphics ;)

[rXp]

i want to be a beta tester ;)

[JaFFaCaKe]

dont we all!

[tulkaz]

I have always wondered why CS:Promod don't use standard version numbering?

Don't you guys know how to use it or...?

When reading change specification between versions, 0,01 change between versions seems very strange...

[rXp]

I don't think so, look for example : the Warcraft 3 versions ;) 1.20a 1.20b 1.21a 1.22a 1.22b... etc..

[bakke]

Hi! Is it possible to join the testing team at the moment?
I've been involved in competitive gaming for a few years now (since the early 1.3 version of counter-strike) and I'm sick of playing the god damn game since the new patch came out. They totally ruined the joy of playing.

Since I heard about Promod (about a year ago) I've been keeping an eye on it. I found it really interesting from the first moment i read about it, sounds fantastic. Though there is a lot of bugs in the 1.03 beta that i tried earlier, and that's where I can help out.

I'm really bored at the moment and I've got loads of spare time that I could spend testing Promod. Where do I sign up? :)

[smartin]

bakke, send a resume to d0ublethink about your qualities.

[yuri]

Seriously guys, everybody is turning into a Beta tester :D

[N0vA]

1.03 is theoretically also a beta. So we are all beta testers :D.
I'd also like to apply for a slot as an official Beta Tester, but I know there are people who have more time and maybe also more experience than me.

[smartin]

Seriously guys, everybody is turning into a Beta tester :D
Yeah, most of these flamers are complaining about how the community isn't involved in the progress, still that's exactly whats happening, more and more as time goes by.

[rXp]

Yeah exactly, I have tested almost all the map with some friend in the 1.03.
I've tested all the wall, all teh damage everything :p And I'm sure I'm not alone there ;)

[Smurficus]

i'm a groupie, I <3 promod. :mrgreen:

p.s. let me beta test your guns!

[ritch]

Someone can tell me when the 1.04 will be released ?!

[smartin]

Obvious troll

[Redstar]

He asked for the same thing on two of my youtube videos :lol:

[unizo]

Starting to look good, hoping for a release before August tbh. ;P *Fingers Crossed*

[swokor]

A release ? No more a beta ?

beta 1.04 release :P

[wazer]

This is not a flamebait or flame war... Im just wondering why not make it open beta for all. The best software comes from open beta/open source, and thats not a lie. I think everybody including the csp team knows that... So make it public so we all can test it and fing the bugs faster than a team on 10-20 man can do?..

the more workers you got the faster will it come out to the final stage.


Last time i checked the goal was to accomplish the csp project and listen to the scene, what it should have and not have.. At this moment i only see, its a closed project that the scene wont have any control over..


Again dont start a flamewar.. This is my opponionen.

[alba]

it's about milestones not release when something is not finished or not ready, imo. A lot of front end is being done right now so...

[wazer]

ehh. Someone said that i will come out mid feburay 2009. Why give this statement if you cant hold it. Theres lack of information to the players out there..

[alba]

Someone said? Who said that?

Never heard of that, sorry.

[puddin1]

They said they will release it when its ready. Also I do believe somebody said it might be ready late February, but it wasn't. Just looking at what they have fixed since February, I'm glad they didn't release it.

bout y999r openbetasentence ... open beta is for finding bugs... they're not rly hardcore-searching bugs atm ... just implementing/change things

does the word implementing actually exist? lol

[smartin]

yes it does

[Spritz]

Someone said? Who said that?

Never heard of that, sorry.

Because you just vanished for a few months.

Who said that? Alex Garfield himself.

http://www.gotfrag.com/cs/story/43719/

[*PLACE A RANDOM MOTIVATIONAL PICTURE HERE*]

I encourage you to search for "February" on this forums, so you can see the "February Hype" yourself :roll:

[smartin]

He never said that it for sure would be released mid-feb, but that it was the anticipation from the developers.
Which I think he shouldn't have said in the first place...

[alba]

hoho, I see thanks for pointing that out. It's earth shattering PART TWO then :mrgreen:

[exa]

And do you think that someday CSP will be fully ended, I mean enough to be really playable ? ^^

as much as i heard beta 1.04 is a playable version :P

[Green]

How long does it last still to beta 1.4 out comes?

[yuri]

Devs said that they wanted to polish it... in the limit case they will release it as a final release => ~2011 ;)

[Green]

oh mann :(

[alba]

rofl, you must be joking to make an assumption that it'd be so far along, this is not duke nukem forever as far as I know :mrgreen:

[paradox]

would be nice to get a release soon :(

[dunadan]

At least before I go back 300km away from home and my computer for another year studies, I hope :'(

[Masternoob]

rofl, you must be joking to make an assumption that it'd be so far along, this is not duke nukem forever as far as I know :mrgreen:

when does 1.04 come out?

When it's done?!? ;)

[chuck64]

The updates are coming along good tho a lot of work has been done and a lot of hard time has been spent on this next one just be ready for it.

here is everything top secret? no media of the "amazing new version" maybe because they have not much to show :? BUT HEY GUYS "IT WILL BE RELEASED WHEN ITS DONE !" Give them 2 years more (including 20 new release dates)

[donlan]

Things not expected means they've added Quad damage at pit on Dust2

They've been doing a lot better with releasing media recently (alot of this is thanks to alba & doublethink). It must be making good progress and I'm gonna estimate a release before September :)

[syN]

Hopefully!

Sort of! The main reason we don't give out info is because we're liable to being sued if we actually give out info. I'm broke enough as is, so chill.

Actually it's not easy to show progress with screenshots, but A LOT has been done, just check this developer log: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=545 (http://www.cspromod.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=545)
As you can see doublethink made some research about knife hit detection and I made some testing about weapons rate of fire. This beta isn't only about bug fixes it's also a lot of gameplay improvments :)

[yuri]

Right sized player models are REALLY crucial => likely a beta release after its animations will be done. But u never know... polish, polish and polish :D:D:

[stefoo]

I already applied as a beta tester. Just havent gotten any word back from Alex :P
