Yes, yes, yes! I absolutely agree with you. As some of you know, I spent over ten years making films for a living (which is why my YouTube videos are such high quality - ahem). One of the great things about film is that it's linear and has an ending. How you implement the ending has a tremendous effect on how the film is received. A good ending has people coming out the cinema feeling buoyant and enthused. Yet games don't seem to place as much emphasis on this (even as they claim to be more cinematic). The problem with survival games is exactly what you said - they're a bit of a letdown when there's no ending. If a game has no end, I just play until I'm bored - and that means that the feeling I carry as I leave that game is one of boredom. A good game ending can have the same effect as a good ending to a film - you come away feeling positive and cheered. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EO 11272 Posted January 18, 2019 I still think the best ending to any survival mission is to simply escape, It taps in to our natural instinct to any bad situation we find ourselves in and also provides a very simple objective. What happens in-between is up to the imagination of the mission maker, but the ultimate goal to escape can provide the player with the same feeling of euphoria that a good movie ending can provide....cue rousing music, mission accomplished screen, roll the credits, fire up "The Gonk". 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

damsous 329 Posted January 18, 2019 I think for coop gameplay escape or defeat a big threat that require to loot military gear and vehicle its the best way. For PvP a kind of TvT sector control with ticket should be great too for smaller map like Malden or Stratis, for exemple the owned sector will generate good loot, good vehicle and few friendly AI, like this only the ravage character persitency is required + add a ticket on each Z killed so if a side got a low amount of ticket few player can go on a Z hunting session to farm ticket. Ravage just need one thing to be perfect, a very dangerous infected like the Demons from ryan mods, very fast with a lot of HP and a scary sound. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tourist 617 Posted January 18, 2019 @kodabar +1 to the story; I have tried to build some kind of end goal into my RAVAGE missions for exactly that purpose. @damsous I made use of some very basic savegame mechanics of the ALIVE mod. At the very least, even on a map NOT indexed for ALIVE and therefor NOT allowing to save AI position/health/inventory state it saves very reliably the position/health/inventory state of players and named containers (boxes & vehicles) or containers that were accessed by the player at least once and thus became part of the "player logistics" array within the ALIVE savegame (again, boxes & vehicles). Sometimes "loose" weapons put into cars don't get saved, but if you put these into a box or a backpack and load these into the car via ALIVE logistics, even that works. This lead me to a hacky, cheap and simple way to save task states: Once tasks are completed, either players or named boxes receive a "token" item into their inventory via a trigger that checks conditions like !alive this_guy_who_must_die or token_1 in items player or token_2 in itemCargo box 1. These token items get saved when I make an ALIVE server save and thus are still in the respective inventories when I load this save. The tasks then briefly appear as "assigned" after loading the mission and then get set to "succeeded" again once the triggers checking the player or box inventories have kicked in. Where do I get different and discernible token items from? Mostly HEROS Survive mod; it has a ton of cool inventory items that make sense as a token, e.g. a human skull. Now if THAT isn't the right token to check for a killed HVT, i dunno... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tourist 617 Posted January 18, 2019 @all: ready, willing and able for some MP action at the weekends; one thing to check out for sure is @bl2ck dog 's persistent mission - sounds like an awesome lot of fun & I had a good time with an earlier version of it when trying it some time ago. Or I host a mission on my dedi server, can be one of my "story" missions from SWS or anoth mission of your choice. Only major drawback for most of you is probably my timezone.

Balanced zombies spawns around groups of players.

Has anyone been able to test this on a server with many players yet? It is very important that we give Haleks some feedback on this but sadly my provider will be out this weekend so I won't be able to test it until next week.
