Alterations

Lot of fixes and additions have been made in the source code. Changes are done in a weekly and some times daily basis. Our main focus remain the re-implemantation of the fixes made by Activision in the patch 1.11 since the source code we have does not include it, and other fixes that were never included in a patch.

A build for playtest purposes wich is the latest package of alterations as well can be found in the Playtest II thread.

Documentation

There is some work currently done offline. Soon a new thread will be posted.

Porting

Efforts on porting the source code in Linux still continue with a slow rate.
Attempts to successfully compile the code under Visual C++ .NET have been revived lately after a long period of stagnancy.

Design

Lot of discussions regarding design have taken place, more than 66 and counting, though it seems that for the past few weeks it does not have the dynamic it used to have.

Things to come

- A CVS and a bug tracking system is pending. We are currently in the search of a good hosting company for a dedicated server.

- An "Info Kiosk" wich will serve as an entry point to a load of information and other threads is on the works.

- A "Please read first" thread with basic instructions on how to use this forum is pending also.

- A code documentation thread with information.

- A localization center that will supplement the translation center and will concern languages that CtP2 has never been translated into before, with instrunctions of what files should be altered.

- A dozen smaller stuff that will add value to our project.
