Petition: Woodsmen for Megapack
« on: 14 August 2010, 04:47:58 »
Hey, if the Woodsmen faction is so amazing, why isnt it an officially recognized Megapack faction?  Who here agrees that they should totally be a part of the Megapack family?

Its a very nice faction, but when playing with it people already had problems... (so it crashed everytime basically)
And that we should wait for the creator to do his big update... I think that update updates some important units...

Other then those two reasons, sure... but we also have two other factions that softcoder and or titi want to add already... hmm... Suddenly megaglest got a lot bigger. (but then we would also need to add particles to woodsmen too...) so even bigger... hmm...

you say there are two other factions they want to add? i must have missed something.

yeah, they will need a whole MegaGlest revamp, but it shouldnt take that much time. how many units need particle effects?

Fact: Woodsmen is not finished.
Opinion: The Megapack is too darn big already.
Question: What benefit would Woodsmen get from Megaglest features?

You can just download it and add it like any other mod.  It doesn't need to be part of the default (already huge) MG download.

Just add it...
You already can (and we did) but Woodsmen has problems in multiplayer... also, it is still not finished.
EDIT: Man I type slow.

what if i wanted to do this battle online?

i mean, they are so well done, that it would be stupid not to add them.

also, it should be our job to make them fully compatible with MG, because you all say that it doesnt work well with MG.

I think it dosen't mater any more of how big the packs are because MG only loads the factions you pick.

Get the Vbros': Packs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5!

Yeah, but I think John is talking about when you first download MG...or on a comp that doesn't have MG or you can't upgrade...

OK, lets say someone fixes Woodsmen, there is still that big update for Woodsmen...

I agree with John, the Megapack is way too big, and its not hard to add woodsmen into megaglest yourself if you really wanted to play it multiplayer.
