Re: Single Player mini-mod WIP

Ok, I think I found what you mean under Community > Custom Games...

I loaded Sidi Power Plant 64 - It worked pretty good.  Ironically the game crashed to desktop as I crashed my gunship lol

Aight installed. I will report back after playing for awhile, or if I experience any issues

Re: Single Player mini-mod WIP

Ace,

Try the maps without gunships (Berlin, Belgrade, etc..).   I have not played much on the maps with gunships.  There might be a conflict between the gunships and the FS vehicles.   I will have to do some testing with gunships.

BTW, you can use a shortcut that automatically logs into  your account and loads up the mod:

"c:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\BF2142.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1  +modPath mods/FS_SP  +eaAccountName [your account name] +eaAccountPassword [your password] +soldierName [your player name]

(Don't type in the brackets - just put your information where the bracketed information is)

Re: Single Player mini-mod WIP

My first thoughts after playing release 1b for awhile.
I found myself highly lacking in the space map because I can't fly in space with uninvented controls. (It's just the crazy way I see and feel up and down.) So I will only comment on the ground map.

It is good to see that a lot more of the.... stuff... In the map. The crashed ship for example, I was going OMGWTF?! When I first saw it big_smile , but now the fires are gone, instead I can only see the light from the fires and hear the sounds, and now the bots seem to have trouble understanding that they cannot stand where the fire is else they will get burnt and dye. I have seen (and heard) about 3-4 bots that have died from walking or standing in fire.
Also the AI seems to be lacking in the "I don't want to be shot" department. I suppose it is just poor 2142 AI but they just keep running straight at me when they see me, this can be good in the sense that, when there are only a few of them I can down them all much easier and more quickly (but it is not very realistic), but when there are lots of them, they come rushing at me enmass and I am swarmed by the evil zombie rebels.
Perhaps if you could "teach" them to actually make use of cover, so that way firefights last a bit longer (they look spectacular) and we don't keep ending up with Halo style flood rushing at you, there's no reloading of guns and I find that because of the AI's behaviour I end up dead because I have no ammo left.
Which brings me to my next point.
The extra items in the kits is much better big_smile I was thoroughly shocked when a friendly trooper revived me after I was taken down.... So shocked in fact that I was blown to pieces and my body shot to rags only moments later big_smile
Everything seems to be coming along nicely, good work. I will post any other points if I think they are worth mentioning.

I may lead a double life full of secrets and deception, but that's no reason to be suspicious.

Re: Single Player mini-mod WIP

I logged in the old fashioned way and have to say:

1.  Very nice.. I did the Belgrade map at 64 and it went very well.

2. The Mr. Darth Vader Potato Head Path markings are both eloquent and very useful. smile

3. Smooth sailing as far as I can tell.

Idea:

Would it possible to use the exiting BF2142 maps? I mean not as they are but could you say move the static objects around a bit and re skin / re texture them to Star Wars?  All the desert maps are easily Tattoine / Lok and maps like Sidi Power Plant already have a Star Wars feel to them...  Just an idea...
