Escape Podagorsk (Mission Release)

[NeoArmageddon 958]

Escape Podagorsk

by Scruffy and NeoArmageddon

A port of Escape Chernarus by Engima of Östgöta Ops to Podagorsk

Description

Escape Chernarus is a great mission and we played it a lot. Now we know every place on Chernarus and there was a need for a Escape mission on another island. FDF's Podagorsk is great for an Escape mission. Its terrain is similar to chernarus and its very detailed and diverse.

So Scruffy and me grabed Engima's markergenerator and ported his mission to Podagorsk. Have Fun!

Original Description (Chernarus replaced with Podagorsk):

You are a USMC special force held captive in Podagorsk some time before the US invasion. Your objective is to somehow contact your allies and rendezvous with a rescue force. Find your way through the living environment of enemy hunters directed by an intelligent search leader, enemy forces, civilians, traffic, animals, ambient events and surprises. Mission is 100% dynamic and uses the entire map. Play it 100 times, two games will not be the same!

We tested the map a lot of times, but if you get errors or bugs, please report here.

You don't need FDF Mod, just FDF_Isle1_a aka Podagorsk.

And please note: Since Escape 1.5 you need CO.

               "cacharacters2",
	"ca_modules_functions",
	"cacharacters_e",
	"ca_modules_silvie",
	"ca_modules_animals",
	"CA_Modules_Alice",
	"fdf_isle1_a"

Have a look on your servers errorlog, to get the missing addon.

[ck-claw 1]

At work atm, but server is Co, fdf isle running ,hmmm strange ?

[Kommiekat 11]

Pleeese make SP mission for this! It's not that hard to covert to SP is it?? Please!?

I can see nothing related to the mission or island in this RPT. Not even trying to load the mission.

[ck-claw 1]

Very strange?? Just started up MSO and other missions on podagorsk np's????

[ck-claw 1]

Derrrr!! :mad:

My or someones bad? :confused:

Upped the pbo, all working good, great fun !

Thanks for porting! :cool:

[NeoArmageddon 958]

No Problem. Isla Duala is next.

Hi NeoArmageddon

I know this thread is very old, but as I am new registered member I am not able to write personal messages until I write 2 posts in this forum. So I have to revive this thread to get in touch with you. ;)

I am really intrested in your ports of the "Escape Chernarus" Mission by Engima. Unfortunatly the only site with your mission port to Podagorsk I found is offline. Do you have an alternative download link for your mission? You wrote that you would do a version for Isla Duala, is there a downloadable version for this island too?

I would very much appreciate being able to download your ported missions, so maybe you can help me out! :)

Thanks in advance and with best regards,

Same issue here!

[Kittenpunch 1]

Yes, I too would like an alternate download. I'm happy to have found a port of the EC mission. I had so much fun in it.

Do you know of any other ports as well?

[NeoArmageddon 958]

Heyho,

I renewed the downloadlink in the first post.

I also added my unfinished Takistan port of Escape Chernarus (I call it unfinished, because I never released it... but everything should work fine).

Features of the Takistan version:

• Takistan units (takistan infantry, uh1, BMP, ...)
  
• Heli extraction
  
• My custom loadout mod for enemy unity (this means more weapons!)
  
• Smaller fixes of the original Escape Chernarus from Engima.
  

Credits for mission design and most scripts still go to Engima of Östgöta Ops. I just ported this mission and added some features and fixes.

[Kittenpunch 1]

Literally my favourite person ever right now.

^^

[ltfalken 1]

Both of the new missions are great. Thanks heaps and good work!

[rangerlump 1]

Thanks for these, my friends and I love these missions.

replayability through the roof

if you get bored, I am sure an Escape Lingor or Pantera would be popular =))

Thanks again!!!!

[Ghosthack 1]

Thanks for making this port, it's really great for two and three player games. Chernarus version took way too long with only two players, because of having to trek enormous distances while staying stealthy. Podagorsk has a lot more managable size.

Seems like there's some issue with the chopper crashing into the tower in the middle at the power substation, it happened in a few of our games already, and once the chopper crashed into some mountain or something in the north (we didn't see it directly, just heard the explosion). Not sure if anything can be done about that though considering it's probably some AI issue...

Looking forward to more ports, this mission has almost infinite replayvalue :)

[chains 11]

Just tried it.. we played for 1 hour and 30 mins and we got so close to the extraction point but then two tanks showed up and shot us down! :)

Thanks for a great port of a really fun mission!

[tortuosit 486]

"Escape Chernarus" or better "Escape Podagorsk" - can't they be played as single player? I remember I read it somewhere, but not sure.
