OMG the implantgun works now....when I applied the files in Implantgun_v220_v12.zip

 

[UBerserker]

The pack is not converted / only works in Unreal 1?

 

[Leo(T.C.K.)]

The pack is not converted / only works in Unreal 1?

For now it will use own system directory, which requires unreal files, but if you have them at ut you can run them, the ini will have set paths to that new system anyway..

Don't forget this is all developer directory stuff, you can just swap the files etc often. It is usual for betas to have this way until it is some prepacked release beta for press etc...

The conversions will follow later, but why convert it for now? Besides you can still run most of the maps just with copying the textures over.

Check this video out:

it is still processing though so you might want to wait for the quality to improve.

 

[UBerserker]

I'll be trying.
Aw **** PlayrshipPSX missing.

 

[Leo(T.C.K.)]

I'll be trying.
Aw **** PlayrshipPSX missing.

Just wait until the whole thing is released. This was just the "addon" source stuff that you can add in/merge/rename with different directory names and paths. It is not what was sent to me days ago. I am waiting for the map fixes also, if smirftsch can export the T3D of them so I can import them in the editor and rename them so they can be used with the 220 build.

 

[UBerserker]

In total how many VortexRikers-related maps are here?

In total how many VortexRikers-related maps are here?

I answered that already, one map only (is from like may 99, very old version, has no ending though, well the "end" is the room with this corpse on chair, that's the last area you should visit, but of course you can do the map in more ways, there are many optional rooms) , if you don't count the Nathan Silvers one where you see VR from outside.

Also you can get the textures if you download these packs I put up for smirftsch, the ones with the broken maps which crash even in UED.
AH but I see, I didn't put up playrshppsx anyway. But you know what? You can rename normal playrshp to that package, it should work as a temp hack and it will have normal res texures instead of the low res ones.

The vortex rikers map is E1L2W

Showing one map.

EDIT: These maps predate the Kagle's maps, although sadly they have no translator messages and Kagle's ones have. You get implantgun in one of Elya's maps, right before the Kagle's first one, although I thought you are supposed to get it after you complete the alien dimension Jrath level. Maybe it was there just for test at that version, i had to fix the map a bit so it is working.
Anyway there is E2L4 missing, I guess you are teleported somewhere and that level was not from Elya probably.
Right before that level you witness some events and Skaarj ruining the temple and also testing the tarydium crystals and some different crystals, which seem to have eye and seem to be live, they do some nasty experiments in there, however I don't get the story too much until Elya sends me some translated text, I guess he had it in russian back then.
After you have to do some tarydium room thing with the eye crystals living in tarydium tubes and I guess efefctively killing it, you are teleported somewhere and then back, which is what leel is avaioable, although everyhwere is radiation and you have to escape, it is similar to extremedgen map, but with the difference that you are in temple area. You will crawl through lots of skaarj instalations and stuff too. But in the end after that extremedgen like thingy, you process through another level and in the end you will find the entrance to the secret laboraty, the Kagle's map. In fact you will see the starting room of E2L6A.
I guess this cleared it up a bit for you, the events on how you get to Kagle's map.

When the whole thing will be uploaded don't forget to switch maps with switchcooplevel command to the ones that are not avaiable.

 

[Leo(T.C.K.)]

I have received some documents written for Elya in Russian language, it needs to be translated:
UPSX_P3.rar

Also, Eric Reuter told me that what I received is really a tiny bit of what he has done and that he did a LOT of work on the project later on and that it is too bad he doesn't have the levels anymore.

He also said that some of the boring levels would be eventually replaced in the project, because the quality of the levels was not constant and unified at all I guess and it could receive some harsh critic.

Here is a snippet of one of the design docs, ran through a google translator:

PLOT / SCENARIO GAME

You Jack Odei and your partner Fay Kraleks - hunters sent by the corporation to the wreck of the prison ship Vortex Raykers. Mission: To capture all the escaped prisoners, seize three AI (artificial intelligence), which are also on board, and escape from the planet via the gravitational lift on one of the satellites, where you will take the ship.

You and your partner get to the ship, but he has already captured Skaardzhi. You are in captivity, one of you must die - Fay decided to die instead of you.

You go on a mission, you find the AI, which remained only one. After talking with Hari, the representative of the corporation, you follow his advice-implantiruesh AI itself in the eye, because it is the only chance to survive without a partner. You and the AI (Iris) is a team - between levels is sufficient to close my eyes, to discuss with Iris happening.

Categories of levels:
There are four categories of difficulty levels.
ATMOS --
RIDDLE --
Action --
VOLTAGE --

Each of the 24 game levels are severely restricted by one of these 4 types. Careful and gradual change of these types from level to level can make the plot as a whole playable and interesting for the player.

In order to define and focus the design of each level, it should be constructed in accordance with one key point, which would classify it as one of 4 types. Usually 2 or 3 key points, but in this game is supposed to have them 24.

ATMOS pace - slow. Size - large. Emotions - awe.
Levels ATMOS like many Unreal / PC levels - geographically vast, scattered, usually external space, with a strong sense of location.

There are several common mechanisms that are predominantly used in the ATMOS levels:
1. "Omens": the place where you want to go (the elevator, out the door), you can see, but can not immediately get to them.
2. "Light hints": the moving wall is a little different from others, etc.
3. "Symmetric hints": all elements of the same, but one of them violates the symmetry.
4. "Conventional riddle": based on the overall planning, there must be a hidden room - and they really are!

RIDDLE temp - average. Size - small-medium. Emotions - solving problems.
These levels should contain simple catchy riddle. Almost always, they must be related to the physical features of surrounding things such as: What was created this place? What connects the various parts of the level? How are your special skills or perspectives allow you to bypass the obvious limitations?

The game will be a new class of puzzles - puzzles compound. For example, you find an implant-gun: you can shoot implant in people, and then you can control it - to switch on its review, to make him turn the switch, etc.

This allows you to have a mystery involving your location in two places: two switches, a remote switch, temporarily opening the door and so on. Or you can use the implant-gun as a trap - to force the guard to move away from the door. Or it could be a suicide mission - to bring into the room exploding bomb. Or you can make a person turn the switch, which you yourself can not get it, etc. Action Temp - fast. Size - medium. Emotions - aggression.
In Action levels provided a lot of opponents, moments must be based on traps and traps. If the passage of these levels, the player does not jump, adrenaline and even if he does not panic, it means that the cost to alter the levels from scratch.

So, before you start planning, is to answer the following questions:
1. How should ustaivat panic and where?
2. What weapons should be available to the player?
3. What are the tricks and elements can be included in the level to give it identity?

VOLTAGE pace - slow. Size - medium. Emotions - fear.
At these levels, the player should doubt or fear the consequences of their actions. He must carefully avoid the district, trying not to disturb the enemy.

It is rather a state which level should compel the player to perceive, to survive. The voltage levels - a more psychological warfare than anything else.

Typical tricks:
1. "Surprise" - the enemy comes out right in front of you.
2. "Devil in the pack" - the enemy appears under your nose, "nowhere".
3. "He is back" - the enemy silently materialized behind you.
4. "Poisoned bait" - in front of you there is something good, but it is only a trick.
5. "The falling floor - the floor under your feet falls.

Funny that this all completelly contradicts with what Unreal turned out to be, the later series this is completelly dark and gritty and with a twists involving skaarj and conspiracy, not disimmilar to redeem your space and bloodgate(my old project) stories in redeem your space, the skaarj are just a genetic experiment/creation. As for bloodgate, it was about this(shortly):

The project's plot (was created around 2002)
involved a starship, where the main character would do some pretty routine
and boring job and it would be attacked by the Skaarj, having him force
to escape and teleport himself to an scientific outpost and labs, where
would be going on some nasty experiments (no, not cliched zombies) and
the player would explore the planet's environments and usual stuff,
except that later in the pack you would fall unconscious and wake up
in some part of temple you've been before, but with strange confusing
portals, which would be revealed to be experimental portals and that
in fact in top of it is built a human base and actually you would meet
an old face, it would be lead by a power-mad commander of the ship you
escaped from originally and you would discover that they have lead Skaarj
to the ship on purpose, also to get rid of the crew who could have been
security riscs. And then they would kill the Skaarj on the ship by a
certain nerve gas sent on the ship to clean it up and the humans would
return to the ship finally using it in their last part of their power
mad experiment, which you would discover after blowing up a skaarj ship
in the space later on and flying towards the old ship and discover there
has been a new activity.

Google provides quite nice translation, but if you find some meaningless sentences, you may ask me to translate it

Thanks, but I think Skaarj[ZR] is doing fine job so far. I found many meaningless sentences, but still I think they will make sense once Skaarj finishes the translating.

[Leo(T.C.K.)]

Hey, how come this neat stuff hasn't been released to the public yet?

Don't blame me, it is not even a full week. Sigh I am sick of this all, on one side all the stupid idiots on youtube saying this is all fake etc and on other side people telling me to hurry to release the stuff. The point is I can't release it in the way it is now and I plan to have some fixes in place first (with different filenames, all original stuff will be in), but I am waiting on input on some people and then they are not exactly being helpful etc....



Give me a break....

Trust me, this is all for good of everyone.

[Bi()ha2arD]

Who reads youtube comments anyways?

 

[Diehard]

Lol Leo, dont mind those people, just do what you wanna do regardless what time it takes. I mean a couple a weeks, or months waiting is little extra time after a decade of waiting.


And proof, what now proof, let them go to hell lol. Since when does anyone needs to proove anything, disregard such bull Leo.
