Last year, I think we had a lot of success with the massive Christmas release format. There are a lot of great projects on the go right now, and I think it's a good idea if we organize such a thing again. As we're going to be half-way through November very soon, this should provide adequate time for people/teams who want to be a part of the release to finish up their projects. It might also be soon enough to bring some new blood into the fold and some old blood back by campaigning around on partner forums, as well as Filefront news and Insider. A large enough release of high quality work is likely to garner some attention.
Please post in this thread what you intend to release, and I will append it to the list. If you are certain it will be done, please indicate as such. If not, also please indicate.
Note from Aces_High of BCFiles:
Just to make it easier on us at BCF, if you are planning on releasing a mod on Christmas, please say so in the description or readme so that there's no mistakes.
Also feel free to upload it a couple weeks in advance, we've got a time delay feature, so it'll still go up on Dec 25th.
As before, I'm going to chip in...

The Regal Class (http://bc-central.net/forums/index.php/topic,7609.200.html) should be finished by the middle of December, although it should surely go into the "Tentative" section.

Thanks, Locke. Added.

I will be releasing a BC background mod.
One comment if I may... please all make sure that if you are ready to release something that you're working on, that it be thoroughly tested and for lack of a better word, as "bugless" as possible.
I can't begin to say how many times I've downloaded something that stated in the read me "none that I know of" in the "bugs" section and inevitably, quite a few of us definitely found some bugs... and many of these were apparently beta tested. Even though I make backups of all my BC installs, it sure would be nice if the mods we download just work, period. I also obviously know that we're all human and not everything always works perfectly but there are quite a few mods out there that pretty much work perfectly for everyone so... it is possible.
So, if we all suddenly feel "rushed" by this Christmas release and you feel that your mod is just not quite 100%, then keep it on your system until you feel real, real, good about it.
I by no means don't mean to sound harsh or demanding but hey, no one likes to go through the hassle of returning the defective toy on Xmas... especially when we're all so excited about the gifts in the first place.
Hope this doesn't offend anyone.

And on that note, please also put some WORK into it as well. Meaning, don't just cobble together a model without proper smoothing and what not, throw on a few textures (lacking in details, low-res etc), and call it finished. Take your time and make GREAT mods, instead of what could easily result in MEDIOCRE mods due to lack of time investment, or "attention to detail".

Could bridges also be included? I was thinking of releasing the 3 shuttle bridges as a pack and one poster said release for Christmas.
May also be a few more bridges.
One problem is that I may not be around/near computer then so would have send a package download link to whoever was organising the release.... if they wanted the bridge pack included :)
-
hm...if I could actually get people to beta some of my catch pack (only the Wojtyla is actually left)...
mabey I'll actually play with the Mercy and Hope as well (a couple of Kitbashes)

You bet they can be included. Also, you can upload to BCFiles and early and just say it's for the Xmas release. Starforce and the crew will know what to do. They always do.

Both versions of the runabout will be done by crimbo but I will need someone to HP (i can convert to.nif) :bitch:, a very underated job, still an important one so if there are any takers. :thumbsup:

Please do :) I'll try and get beta tested asap. Shuttle Bridge Pack tested now, so also ready.

-

-
Ok, this will give me motivation to work on this...
I can try to get the Steamrunner I'm working on finished by christmas I'll just re-release it in the pack once I'm finished with it! I just need to finish the textures and update the HP to fit the resize...on top of changing the windows.
-
Prometheus and Steamrunner added to the tentative list. Please let me know in this thread or via pm when they're ready to move to confirmed.
-
I was thinking of doing a series of missions for QBG where you as the captain, command the ship through the dominion war, from start to finish. I did a couple missions, but I'm kinda stalled right now. Anyways I could throw that in for the christmas release if anyone is interested, I just need to get by the writers block
-
Put my Proteus on the list for Definite for X-mas release and my Enterprise-D as tentative.
-
This is awesome!!! Last Christmas was so great gettting all these awesome models!!! Can't freakin wait!!!
-
Psyco Diver, let me know when you want me to add to the list.

And when all this is released, I am going to make another Rifle's New Years Special with this pack with everyone credited of course. I think it will be my biggest, best video yet because I already have the plans all layed out for it.
-
The Surpasser should be ready by Christmas.
-
Hey DJ, could you add my JLS Nemesis Sovereign Pack as the confirmed list. I totally forgot JB06 gave me permission to make it a pack and I'm actually close to finished with the registries.
-
Will it be possible, to upload the Prometheus on 8th or 9th of December with the note to be realised for a Christmas with the other Christmas ships and mods? Because after 9th I'm afraid I won't be able to get to my computer.
-
Just have a tester upload it... come on vladko!
-
I can't upload it now, because Milen isn't done with the HP and MVAM. If he make all the scripts will be good :D At the end of the weekend i think will be fully ready :)
-
:facepalm: i meant have one of the team upload it for you later...........
-
guys can you sort this out thru PMs please?
thx :)

DJ, move the Prometheus from the Tentative to Confirmed Christmas realises ;)
-
I'm going to make this short. I promised to release the hq planet textures with christmas. The pack is actually finished only some small details are left to do.
Now, the hard part. Since two almost three weeks ago, i started coughing. Nothing special but after a week it was getting worse. Taking sirops, sprays etc. We are now almost two weeks further and i'm coughing my longs out. Taking antibiotics, the last time i coughed and cleaned my nose, there was even a little bit of blood. I'm not gonna abandon the pack but do to health shit and breathing problems i'm gonna take it easy. In my free time that i've got left i'm gonna relax.. But the pack shall be releashed in january, i promise
Grtz.
-
No worries Sov... take your time dude.
Get better and take it slow.
Cheers.
-
Speaking of which, my Background Pack might also be delayed due to unforseen (but not too serious) circumstances.
I'll post updates when I can on this matter.
-
Thx moed, but i'm feeling a bit better and had a day off. I worked relaxed on it and its finished. But the size is huge and i'm not gonna participate on the christmas release because there are a lot of mods coming out, and some people have a limit on downloading. So i'm gonna try to release it now and wait for the comments, and perhaps release a patch or so after christmas ;)
-
Ooppsss, when uploading I gave backwards to edin something in the title of the ship, and I added the same screenshots twice, because i didn't know that they'll upload twice. I'm sorry for this :( So now let's wait to Christmas when it will be realised :P
-
While I'm on here, I might as well ask to add my Kessok Ship Pack to the Tentative list for christmas release. ;)
-
TWOK bridge uploaded. SFR&D have taken HP'd the Pre TOS connie and uploaded.
Just need to finish the JJ refit pack add ons.
-
At this point it seems as though the list will be:
2x miranda pack: DW refit miranda and X-era miranda refits
Interceptor
King Condor SFC D2 mod warbird
Preble
Gagarin and Tolstoy Overhauls/retextures
Steamrunner
With the possibility of 2 starbases and a borg pill.
Edit: The likelyhood of either starbase being ready before christmas is essentially zero at this point. Going to try for newyears. Borg pill is still a possibility, though I'll need a solid 3 hrs tomarrow to work. There will be some snow cleanup and a run acrossed town with a peice of equipment plus posting stuff on BCfiles so not sure where that will leave me.
-
Borg Pill? How many times do you take that a day? And do I have to eat with it? And can I take it with grapefruit juice? :P

It's administered rectally. :D
-
Painful not?
-
It's administered rectally. :D
I knew you would say that LOL
-
I'm afraid the jjrefit variants will not be ready for xmas. so I'll have to leave my contribution at the TWOK bridge and Pre TOS Connie.
-
Just 10 hours short of the deadline :facepalm: I've sent the Kessok Ship Pack into BCFiles for posting tomorrow. Hopefully there shouldn't be anything wrong with it :angel .

-

yeah I hate deadlines too ... surprise is much better :P

Speaking of suprises:
Aren't there missing some mods and ships announced to be released around christmas or is my brain crazy (spaking of such as DJ's ships)?
I don't want to stress somebody, just a question. Not that those released mods are not got, Some of them i really love (esp. the new PDW ships).
-
we never received DJ's ships, I think he had some last minute revisions.
I hope he can get them finished soon, I can't wait.
