The Big Mod (campaign 2) - parts 1,2 & 3 available

[martin]

No problem, I just didn't want anyone to miss the 3rd part (and every later part) like I did (until I saw it here one day later) because of an old link. i'm sure someone else would have figured it out sooner or later

Thanks for that
So, have you played most of TBM now? what did you think of what you have played?

[NeatNit]

It was really good and there's a reason this thread stays on the top of the forum right now i'm stuck in the dark level (that one really need some lights!), any tips? by the way I already entered the level in the map editor and saw the whole path... I think I might have done things the wrong way but that gave me 3 spawn points to take down the other 2 (I gave them a turret and I literally can't get a troop there, and have no gernades for darwinians)...

[martin]

Ah the dark level, it's meant to be that dark you know?

Anyway, my tip is to send darwinians all over the place to plot out a path for your squaddies to follow - and you need to capture all three spawns to win I expect.

Anyway, glad you enjoyed it

As to part four, I'm about to load darwinia and play through all of TBM from start to finish including part four to see what's going on

[martin]

Hmm, that was quick. Darwinia crashed because I'm apparently missing a directX component :s

[NeatNit]

double post! >: (
I know it's meant to be dark, otherwise I would have saved those lights from the map editor too
how long do I have to leave darwinia open with some sort of awesome officer system to have a chance of beating the evil guys that way?

also, the answer to this is probably (90%+) a no but i'll go ahead and ask anyway...
can I beta test part four?

[martin]

You mean how long do you have to wait for your darwinian army to build up? not very long, if you sue darwinians as shock troops and follow the line of darwinians with squaddies you can win really quickly - don't forget that because of those steep walls your squaddie grenades are undodgeable

possibly

[NeatNit]

I finished the level... I'll take this opportunity to say that YOU ARE EVIL!!! And also YOU ARE AWESOME!!!
anyway, the string get_an_engineer (lock 2) says "get an engineer over by thwe control tower for the code scrambler for even just a moment and I'll be able to interface with it and download todays codes."
Fix it. I'm fixing it for me right now.

By the way, do you also make awesome things for HL2?
I loved how they combined the portal thing in the second episode

[martin]

I am evil
Anyway, which level is that? whichever one it is I'm glad you enjoyed it and I shall fix it after

I don't make Hl2 stuff, they are an order of magnitude more complex unfortunately :/

[NeatNit]

just find get_an_engineer in the strings file (the easy way - ctrl+f) and fix it. don't be evil.

[martin]

Ok, I added it to my "ToDo" list

I'm going to play all of TBM
make some changes
and upload the whole thing in one go to hitm4n

[Testrie]

I'm evil too!

[NeatNit]

Hurray for EVILness!!

If you're going to upload it all 'in one go', then you should fix it before you upload.. Also I found the console thing very annoying. I mean, it takes forever! just... Don't do the retry thing

[martin]

yeah, I mean I have a list of things I want to change, so I will fix most of those before I uload a new version

also console thing? don't forget it's a long time since I've played TBM so I can't remember specifics of levels very well

[NeatNit]

You said you were going to play it ALL right now (wasn't that ENOUGH time ago?) so I figured you'll see it and remember what I said here

[martin]

well I played part four through, I still need to play 1,2+3
