benreeper 0 Posted September 30, 2002 If you would like me to send it to you that can be accomodated. The mod is an ACE archive at 7.5 megs in size. Ben [email protected] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benreeper 0 Posted September 30, 2002 Whatever you have to do. Thanks, Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benreeper 0 Posted October 1, 2002 The download links at the website are functional thanks to 3dactionplanet. http://www.geocities.com/grimbenreeper/ The archive is not a zip but an ace, however, I have links to the programs that can decompress them. Use the latest versions if you already have them. I am sorry for the confusion if any one tried to download it earlier. Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benreeper 0 Posted October 2, 2002 Corrected. Thanks OFPN for the host. Hey KeyCat don't forget to try the tutorial. Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benreeper 0 Posted October 17, 2002 Just a bump to get some feedback on the mod. This was my 1st programming foray and the first time I had something for public consumption since my music days. Try it. It includes a few missions and a tutorial and an easy way to copy and paste your own missions. If people like it I will develop it furthur.

Placebo 31 Posted October 17, 2002 Haven't tried it myself as a combination of factors means I've been unable to play any games, surprised nobody else seems to have shown much interest though, this was something they were all asking for Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benreeper 0 Posted October 17, 2002 I don't know. The site has almost 1200 hits in 2 weeks and several people have written me telling that they liked it. I don't get dl stats so I don't know how many have actually played it but at least that many heard about it. I didn't advertise in advance. I just wanted to see if it worked before I blabbed about it. But it hasn;t been out that long. I'll just post about it. As to gameplay, on a LAN I had coop games (5 peeps) with a commander with 70 troops loaded into helis and dropped into a battle against that many. Ran fine with an 800 Duron ded server. I wonder what could be done on a more powerful machine. Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 31 Posted October 17, 2002 (Forgive me if this can be answered by going to your site, I don't have time to do that at the moment) Are there MP missions ready to test this thing out? Would it help if I offered to host a deddy server for people to test this out for a couple of nights? I have 1mb/256kbs cable with a fairly decent machine (1.3ghz amd 512mb ram) I can arrange some time for it to be used to test on if you think that would help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benreeper 0 Posted October 17, 2002 Oh yeah there are CTF and a few others. Plays well on the LAN but have not tried it on the net (lots of AI). Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedLion 0 Posted October 17, 2002 Great Mod! I've been using this mod for most of my mp missions and it just adds a great dimension of fun and excitement to the game. Although, some of the squads will act up from time to time, specialy when they need to get in a plane, but overal it is alot of fun. Regards, RedLion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benreeper 0 Posted October 17, 2002 Hey Red Lion! Yeah they will ignore you from time to time but this is most likely due to server messaging. I think I have an even easier way to put them in vehicles that I'm testing out now. Also the FireSupport team seems to fire their weapons every other time. This is in 1.75. In 1.46 they NEVER fired. It seems that the server is skipping those lines of code. Hopefully it will get better. Question: What missions are you playing? And have they all been coop? I've found that you need larger, complex, missions or it's just too easy to blast them. I'm trying to make some better ones now. Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
