Explanation of WTF is going on and the official start of my hiatus...
Wait...how does one guy ruin development "beyond repair" on a mappack? Were all the files compromised? No backups? Or we talking a simple case of data loss?
It's hard to explain, but essentially rl issues caused so bad of development hell for both Delacroix and myself (including the event that happened earlier), and just that alone was the signal to stop before further damage was done. But I would like to make this clear...this is NOT my doing, I didn't can FCBP due to RL issues, but rather, another unfortunate accident happened along the way, and Delacroix and myself cannot continue (95% rl issues, 5% another issue which is an internal matter that cannot be resolved virtually anytime for at least months (and perhaps years on end)), so that is why that FCBP is canned
until further notice.
Also, when us two leaders of the mod experienced a sign that nervous breakdowns were imminent (and did occur to Delacroix and myself, although Delacroix's was MUCH more extensive than mine, but both were severe in nature), we had to eliminate the source, which FCBP was the source (at least in my viewpoint, Delacroix's somewhat differs a bit from what he told me, although he is still uncertain to an extent).
In short: I broke a promise by saying I'd finish FCBP, but when individuals experience nervous breakdowns as severe as we had, it was time to lay the source to rest before further damage was done... Therefore, the promise was broken, but for sanity reasons, it was a wise choice.
However, all is
NOT LOST!! Delacroix and myself are looking for a development team to finish off FCBP that will follow Delacroix's supervision (as he stated before ^^ ), and I will still be a tester (and only a tester). However, I did bring FCBP from Beta .08 (aka the 'Pre-Alpha') to Alpha Milestone 5, so the promise was not compeltely broken...at least 55% of the mod is done, compared to 15% from before, so there was a significant leap. The Alpha Milestone 5 7-zip is around
250 MB fully compressed, so in reality, compare it to ~60-80 MB in a UMOD from Beta 0.8 (aka the 'Pre-Alpha'), loads of content was brought in from the Pre-Alpha to Alpha Milestone 5, so the majority of the mod is fully done, but there is still lots to be left!
Thanks everyone for your understanding. Delacroix and myself will answer any questions that you may have following this "dillema", and for those who wish to carry out FCBP and finishing it up, please PM Delacroix
*ONLY*, and from there-on after, Delacroix will assess you and he will assign you tasks to accomplish.
P.S. I'm very glad I could extend FCBP and help out and along with other individuals, bring the content up to 40% more than the Pre-Alpha build.
The current status of Alpha Milestone 5:
55%
Take care everyone!

P.P.S. My haitus starts right now, and I am only part-time in the actual scene itself, but full time in my clan. Also, Delacroix is back in RoninUnrealFX, and we have made ammends in private, which was the only proper thing to do... We have fully forgiven eachother, and will put that "clash" in the past...and we hope for the best in this mod, for whatever patch it may take, and for those who do wish to step up to the plate and take control with Delacroix as a supervisor, I insist that you do so ASAP! Thank you again folks...I shall see you all (hopefully) between 6 months to 1-2 years time (as stated earlier in this page, details follow there)... God Bless you all...
P.P.P.S. Delacroix, I owe you a ****-load of beer and cold cash
on the spot when and if you come to Canada...
