4.09 (posible) release date?

[jurinko]

AFAIK it takes maybe one afternoon to compile all the map stuff into 4.09 so the time exactly can not be the issue. Maybe there are some other considerations.. (like "no winter Slovakia for you boys until you make the beta version of BoB" )

Its time used to trace every bit of code be it script, sound or terrain and all the rest to see if the modder accidentally lifted it from other copyrighted sources.
An ardious task at best.
While a modder will not be chased down by other game/music/software distributers a publisher of 1C's standing will.
So in a nutshell (it has been repeated at nausium in the various threads) until they are sure no copyright infringements have taken place 4.09 will remain a beta product.

In the 3rd party content (maps) there are no "sounds, scripts or terrain" to be checked for legal reasons. To put the final 4.09 with the content of beta, it takes few hours maybe at max.

Maybe Maddox should hire you If it was a matter of few hours, it would have been done long time ago

I don't know about the rest... but hiring the Slovakia team might not be that bad a thing for the final state of SoW (Its quite the map you guys made, I can't help but to wonder what other maps could be like made to the same standard).

Yes this standard bodes well for future FB maps, but this standard will be far surpassed by SOW. Also the tools for making maps to SOW standards will be made available to the community.
