AZCoder 921 Posted October 2, 2016 Gates of ARMAgeddon Part 1: Shadow Fall Version 2.0 Released 2022/08/05 on Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=802767761 A remake of the 2017 campaign. Ver 2.0 is a refinement of the story and contains new features and improvements. If you played the original, this version offers a 95% different experience. Some called him a loner.

If you speak Russian and want to fix translations, please let me know. Also, I recorded some of the dialog in Russian. My apologizes ahead of time for any accent or pronunciation mistakes. Known Issues (please READ before posting bugs): I highly recommend using only the addons listed above. Other addons WILL BREAK the campaign. Minor addons like sound and effects should be fine, and yet I found problems there too. - Bloodlust - in some places the FPS will drop to 2 or 3 - JSRS broke RPK magazines. There was a patch but it seems to be gone now, so maybe these things are fixed. - Telephone Poles on the ground. They fall down when AI cars drive near them on the road. No collision necessary. Weird map glitch. - Not really a bug, but hospital doors do not open automatically. I could not figure out how to tie into the new hospital building and make the doors open via script, so they are manual and a bit difficult to open.

nettrucker 142 Posted October 3, 2016 Hi guys finally maybe a reason for me to play ArmA 3. LOL I have accumulated some 90 hours of playtime so far. First time it happens with an BI title. I just can't get used to it. Since the campiagn uses quite some addons I will give it a try as soon as I can. Cheers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZCoder 921 Posted October 13, 2016 Thanks everyone for your kind words, it's very encouraging. I'm waiting to get some of the voiced lines back, and I am testing the campaign as a whole and need to finish up one little part. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZCoder 921 Posted October 31, 2016 I am trying to get a beta release out by the end of the week. Through my own playtesting it became clear that both of the Chernobyl missions needed more attention, so I have put in a lot more interesting content into them. That's the main reason it's not out yet. Maybe on the 4th or 5th of Nov, depends on time for me to test it all again and fix anything else that comes up. I will try to update here by the end of the week either yay or nay on that. Thanks! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZCoder 921 Posted November 6, 2016 Shadow Fall has been in beta testing for about a week. It's had a rough start with it not working for my testers. I made some changes and await feedback on whether it works now. I will update you when I have more information. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I made some changes and await feedback on whether it works now. I will update you when I have more information. Looks very cool AZCoder. You might consider using JBOY dog for your feral dogs. Or just grab any pieces of it you want, like dog damage eventhandlers, dog blood textures, and growl, bark, and yelp-in-pain sound fx. Note that AI will fire on enemy JBOY dogs as well (vanilla AI never fires on dogs). The blood around the mouth textures make feral dogs look mean. Plus your lone wolf character might appreciate having a 4 legged friend with him. :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZCoder 921 Posted November 17, 2016 I have updated the first post with the promotional video. I apologize if the music isn't professional, I did it myself because last time I did a promo video with real music, it got muted by YT. JBOY dogs was integrated. I made some modifications so it's not quite as brutal .... still you want to avoid the dog packs. I had one encounter with a pack, pretty much got rid of them while on the run, then another pack came after me, had to hide in a building. Good times, LOL. Mordacai has been providing immense help with beta testing and doing some scenery enhancements with great detail. I am very grateful for his additions to the campaign. While that process is still on-going, I am planning to put out the first release this Friday the 18th. Please note the required addons in the first post ... all are required. The campaign is roughly 150MB, most of that being voice acting ogg files. I know from experience there will be another release or two to fix unforseen bugs, and because we are still working on some scene enhancements. Additionally, I may put out a "director's cut" later on. The campaign originally had the CUP mods and got pulled out to reduce addon requirements, and thus removing one of the original side-missions, but I bet almost everyone has the CUP mods so that may return a bit later on. So Friday the 18th ... and if something comes up to prevent that, I will let you all know. Thanks! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's one of the better promo vids I've seen man. You know how to cut to the bone. Music is cool. I gotta have that stogie addon--which addon is that? My favorite screenshot is the lower left. That port looks alive and authentic. Looking forward to the release! @Players: I wouldn't sweat the dogs. Just say sweet things like "good doggies" or "nice poochies", and you should be fine.

AZCoder 921 Posted November 18, 2016 @Mordacai - thanks! Here's a teaser from the 6th mission featuring my run-in with JBOY dogs. I started recording because it's the first time I saw enemy units fighting a pack of dogs, and I thought it was a good chance for me to evade them. Then I realized the dogs were pursuing me. There's one cut in the video because I paused to think about my situation. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZCoder 921 Posted November 19, 2016 Version 1.0 is released, link at the top. I submitted it to Armaholic as well. I might put it on Steam once I figure out where to put my pdf, they didn't like my folder structure. I want to give special thanks to Mordacai for beta testing it, and for building up some of the scenery on a few of the maps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want to give special thanks to Mordacai for beta testing it, and for building up some of the scenery on a few of the maps. It smells more of a "collaboration" than beta-testing per ce... Mordacai has earned his name on the credits at the end of the campaign ;) About the pdf, AZCoder, you could host it on your github or dropbox and link it on the steam description of the campaign... I know, a separate download, but a shortcoming for the SW limitations =) Finally enjoying your first A3 endeavour... maybe a port of the classic campaigns on a near future?

He is in the credits if watch you carefully in the special thanks area :) Mordacai enhanced some areas in missions 1 & 3, which is to say he added miscellaneous items, tools, beds, plants, etc. I think he's doing 4 as well, which would be for a future update of course. I had 2 beta testers, although Mordacai was the only one that provided feedback, and I made a few changes off that. The next is a port (or partial port) of Gambit Royale since it literally starts where this one leaves off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZCoder 921 Posted November 19, 2016 @corporal_lib[br] I posted it to Steam now. The PDF is there, but you have to know to find it. Would be nice if they included that in their links options. It's a nice pdf with walkthrough advice. :ph34r: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be nice if they included that in their links options. It's a nice pdf with walkthrough advice. :ph34r: I know! I´ve used the PDF for guidance already lol Steam has issues with optional folders and "external files" like PDFs and such... SW support is still crawling, in terms of learning curves, I guess Loved the reference to Ferris Bueller's Day Off Great to know Gambit Royale will be remade, anxious for the sequences... But I still need to finish off this one lol... lemme get back to the campaign (chapter 3 still) Cheers! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
