xkcon's ultimate rip off Mod (Unofficial expansion for FOT)

Salvadorc17, yes download the full Version for sprites and tiles, the [files v0.892] button is just the quick update (without sprites & tiles).

oldguy, ok I checked the first steal door and it does crash so it must be a corrupt entity, however when I blasted the door open with an explosive it worked fine. Try using some dynamite on it and see if it works for for you. I will fix the entity for a new version release coming in march.

-fixed the shelf blocking the door, don't worry, there was nothing in the room or shelf that you missed out.

-if you kill the guard you aren't mean't to get his gun. It's a guass rifle and I don't wan't the player to get such a powerful weapon to early in the game, It's kinda ruins the balance.

-Green dot on mini map, but no person there? that is just on of my invisible voice entites, that I use for various text/speech on the storylines, forget about it, it is a non issue.

-Niel's safehouse door, I'm still looking into this one. not quite sure exactly what it is.

-Red Door is part of a bigger storyline, that can be played the 'good' or 'bad' way(s). It is part of the '8mm' plotline, that I ripped off from the nicholas cage movie '8mm'. you'll have to find your own way in. (good or bad)

-a lot of the guns were rebalanced, you will find many of the guns much more useful.

-Yes the Brotherhood establishes a outpost in Fortress City(FC) after you deliver the 'Treaty Document'. The troops and recruit master arrive on your next visit to FC. So if you want them quickly then just deliver the treaty doc to the register and then exit the town and re-enter and the Brother hood will be there.

-Glad you are having fun. Thanks for playing and for feed back ,please report anymore things you think may be a bug or whatever.

I am already working on a newer Version to be released in early march, so any bugs you can find and report will be fixed for the new version. I am also working on a new map to go into the campaign, but I don't think it will make it into the march release, maybe soon after though...

 

Ok guys, don't know if you seen it over at DAC, but if you missed it. Here are
some tips for gameplay and the secret to the Random encounter cheat and the 'Doom switch'

Check these screenshots at my website:
http://www.xkcon.net/screenshots10.html

In the first photo (in the squad choice/pre-mission), you'll see a switch behind this door. Unlock the door and pull the switch. Then go to Ridgeway and you will be able to buy/steal a magic backpack that will give you unlimited carry weight.

In the pre-mission target practice, if you can hit all three targets fast enough, you will be awarded a Humvee, a huge blessing for a startgame.

For those that want to turn off Random Encounters , or to experience a different game altogether. here is the answer.

The next screenshot , shows a door in Brahmin wood. If you explore beyond this door you will find an object (you'll know when you find it!).

In the next image we see the squad take the object to the Alpha bunker and find the hidden ladder in this small chamber.
Climb down and give the Elder the object and he will open the way for you. Your Destiny awaits.

Make sure to make a save before experimenting with Fate

 

Well, well... nice job. I see that you violated my mummified corpse too, you bastard! ha ha.

However, I can see that there was some amount of cheating/hacking involved.

But I will still award you the prize, if you can prove that you entered without hacking.

Make sure to find the Sacrifical chamber and unlock it's secrets. You will need the three Occult objects to perform the ritual.

 

Alright, I will add your prefab 'Lucy' to a future release. I am going to release a new version within the next week with a few more bug fixes. Lucy won't make it into Version 0.893 but I will make sure she goes into the mod after that.

I am happy that you really played the map 'Temple of Agarapichu' -- It means a lot to me to have someone really play the map. I hoped you liked the musics too...

If you can't figure the secret of the sacrificial chamber, you can always give Boris (in Jackson city) the three occult objects he seeks, He has much knowledge of the Arcane arts and will surely know what to do...

Also, I hope you can figure out how to 'resurrect' my concubines ...

Thanks for comments and feedback . Report any other bugs or whatever. Thanks for playing!

 

I just did a couple of tests in Quartz, and it all seemed to work fine. What Version are you playing ?

In the first test, Ugly's team killed me after 90sec on the timer, Felicia survived and bomb didn't detonate.

Second test Geoffrey accidentally hit the remote trap and blast kills felicia.

Third test My team kills ugly and successfully rescues Felicia

Consider what weapons your team is using, If you fire a burst weapon, you will almost certainly hit the bomb and accidentally detonate it.

Regarding the BR-Ocupation, does it happen repeatedly ? or is it a onetime thing? Not sure why it is happening, sometimes the FOT engine behaves strangely.

 

One thing to suggest, Have the text display on instead of minimap, then you can read when the charge detonates and see if it is from friendly fire or otherwise.

Not sure why the charge is always blasting in your game... In my recent tests I just didn't have this problem. I will keep looking. (I tested in CTB).

Question: Are you playing in turnbased mode when you try to rescue Felicia?

You were right about when the bomb blast and when felicia is far away from the blast area and then she survives. The triggers didn't recognize her as being saved and it breaks the story, just like you said. So I added a few triggers to fix that.

I will release a new version probably this weekend, with this recent fix to quartz.

 

Is it possible to post a screenshot of where the Problem BR-Occupation is. It helps me to understand exactly where the problem is.

I did more testing today and again it seems fine. I rescued her again. I don't seem to have any problems.

Maybe sometimes it is just fate that you can't save Felicia. Did you try to finish out the story if she dies? It's a blemish on your reputation but the story goes on.

 

The Mod is very Stable and is very playable. Most content is bugfree.

Right now it is meant for CTB. However after Endocore suggested a fix for the 'invisible undead' bug in Turnbased mode, I will implement a fix to as many maps as I can in each successive version, to make the TB experience better for you oldschool TB guys. until then Try out the random crazyness of CTB combat, (you're bound to lose your favorite characters hehe)

 

Here's some screens from recent testing

 

Hey guys, got some bad news... Last Tuesday night when I was working my job (Nightshift) there was a fire at my apartment building and as a result, my apartment suite was trashed, and I was forced to evacuate the building and now I have no home. Needless to say, I am devastated.

I am staying with some family until I can find a new place. Luckily my computer (and the newest version of the mod (v0.893)) are safe. Unfortunately I can't upload the new patch this weekend, like I promised I would. I am very sorry, but something's are just out of my control. It's too bad too, because I fixed a number of bugs (mostly in Quartz)

However, as soon as I can find a way to upload it I will. It will just take a while until I can find a new place and then work will resume as normal. So until then you are stuck with version 0.892.

Sorry guys.
