Haha, oh man I remember when I first joined ESF after Alpha 2.0 was release and started to redo all those animations. We've come SO far since then.
If your wondering, yes a lot of progress is coming along. FX System is being worked on pretty hardcore, new hud as you have seen here in the forums, few new animations implemented, sound through the QC which Ive mentioned a lot before, and a new version of CTDB is in the works...
NO
Im not telling how it works. >.<
I just finished school and In on winter break along with the many other college goers, which means. ESF development crank time.
