Has anyone managed to get jump jets working in the sdk?
[QUOTE=HatredViral;24450912]Has anyone managed to get jump jets working in the sdk?[/QUOTE] Got them working :smug:
Hey guys, I get a bug on this computer (I can play AS on another computer just fine but I have limited access to it) whenever I try to play AS. Here it is: -------------------------- Launcher Error -------------------------- Failed to load the launcher DLL: (null) Can you guys help me with this? I really wanna play AS again. :saddowns:
Can somebody release the Zoey/Heavy/Pyro models as VPK's?
This is a decent game, I played the UT2004 Mod version... I don't play it anymore, but whenever I do, I use a script consisting of these codes: asw_realistic_death_chatter 1 - Activate Marine Chatter asw_hear_from_marine 1 - Activate Marine Chatter asw_marine_labels_cursor_maxdist 1000 - Marine Labels are under players bind f8 "cl_emote 6" - Anime Smiley asw_camera_shake 0 - No Shake Echo "Chatter Activated!" - Says Chatter Activated in Console Say Chatter Activated Marine Chatter = They talk to eachother, the two heavies brag about kills and compete with eachother, etc.
There was auto marine chatter and it's off by default? Huh, why did they turn it off by default I wonder.
Holy fucking shit they added playlists for adrenaline sequences. Options Audio Down the bottom. :DDDDDD [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt7gIkAMCHk[/media] One of my songs.
I put the "Gone Guru" song as the combat music, tested it out in practice mode with overwhelm mode on. Everytime it started playing, and aliens started fucking swarming in, my mind was blown. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7FJjtAuAIU[/media]
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJoVrXB7Pk8&feature=related[/media] have this for adrenaline. fits well.
I have shitloads of Combat music, but I never play AS anymore. Some of the combat music is Beatle's Help (For irony? Idk why I chose it), some trance stuff, random Dragonforce, Wang chung, etc.
This song is amazing on surface bridge. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCvMKcNJCAY[/media] [I]Come to the land of the ice and snow. From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. [/I]Also it suits jaeger.
I find the Persona 3 Battle theme fits in well. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-My55F3UFY[/media]
Sweet Jesus, I just had a great idea! Say, do the audio files for Alien Swarm follow the same template for Left 4 Dead (replacement file must be of same length and file size as the default file)? If not, we could revoice all the Marines to be Combine Soldiers! It actually fits rather well, too.
I like that idea a lot.
I wanna play this again, and I'm gonna stay the hell away from random games. But since no one from my friends list seems to be interested anymore, I figured I'd ask here. Anyone interested? I'd go mainly for missing achievements, the speedruns for instance, and also would like to check out some custom maps. Didn't want to make a new thread for that, so if you're interested in playing, just reply here! :buddy: EDIT: Boxes and the guy below me completely disregarding my post. Fuck this.
I feel sad that I couldn't play this game when it came out because right now its pretty dead
What gets me, AS was free from the start, where as HL2 DM, they don't tell you that directly in the STEAM store listing. Also, since AS was newer, I thought their would be a turnout partly due to those minors who are never able to sneak their folk's credit card number. HL2 does not have the juice (or gel) like P2, then again a CoOP squad of 28 on one of the same team is nice.
HL2 DM just has more things behind itself - including a whole slew of maps, coop and deathmatch.
Man I always wanted to modify that firstperson view so that the camera wasn't so close to the head... never sussed it out. :( Anyone keen on modifying the alien drones... perhaps create different alien types? I'm still waiting on that DMX importer/exporter for Maya 2011... I'll need to maybe email Valve again.
All AS needs really is a better director and more AI control. I mean you've got a shieldbug and it is relentlessly chasing you instead of tactically attacking you.
[QUOTE=JurajIsNotPirat;24309820]Utter shit computer represent [/QUOTE] despite no atmosphere, no darkness gives you an advantage to see where you're going and whats coming. kinda like most Zombie Master levels.
[QUOTE=Djokson;23520779]A map with a mechanic like Payload from TF2 would work amazingly well with this.[/QUOTE] It's a shame we never got to see anything like this. Badwater in this game would have been awesome. R.I.P Alien Swarm, you had so much potential.

[QUOTE=ghiacciato;29813334]Alien Swarm was meant to breathe on community and modding support, and all you're doing is mourning it's loss in here. Get busy yourselves, it doesn't have to die yet![/QUOTE] Agreed. Make it.
my gripe is that playing custom maps over the net is a pain, I wish people could download the files off the server like it was pre-VPK
[QUOTE=PersonGuy;29832153]Agreed. Make it.[/QUOTE] It's pretty difficult to make good campaigns for non-competitive games, since you have to create interesting environments and meaningful objectives that can't be ignored through PvP action. Official maps have a team of people with lots of experience and skill. Community maps are [I]maybe[/I] 3 people (usually 1 guy) with little experience.
I did try to get busy with modding the game at one point with modifying the AI director so that other alien types spawned (it was actually very fun), only that a few weeks later I found out it was already done - and probably implemented in a much better way than I did it. :gbsmith: I still wanna mess around in the SDK and do stuff, but it would be way funner doing it with other people if you get what I mean.
