You fail it if Fox dies. I had it happen a few times in between crashes and/or deaths. I wasn't willing to run back to get Sid's bribe, so I just shot them all to death. No fucks given.

It's still hard with Les Mis, just not as annoyingly hard in places. I actually found it a lot more fun.

utak3r:
Working on LA optimization.
Today I was working a bit on R3.
Core Duo P6700 mobile
- 4GB RAM
- integrated GT240M graphics (!!!)
- native 1600x900 resolution.
on this "machine" it played at around 10fps and less.
Now it's from 20 to over 30fps :D quite an improvement, isn't it? ;)

[QUOTE=Amez;44721852]Damn this thread is booming. I can't be the only one who has been avoiding it for the time being so that I don't have anything spoiled in LA :v[/QUOTE]
I'd do that too if I had any idea how long it takes to get the game into a playable shape but the only way to actually find out about patches and whatnot means that I can't exile myself out of the one videogame thread I can be arsed to even follow these days.
Is there any way to bring back the ammo charities to Redux? I really liked that feature in vanilla.
I got this little mod pack gathered here.
Make of it what you will.
Use it or not.
I do like feedback thou.
Now i'm not gonna claim it brings its graphics to 21st and make every other game look like a joke in comparison but hey.

It gave me errors about a missing crossbow model in X-16. It seems to be functioning decently for the most part, but you might want to inspect if there's any conflicting meshes and textures.

[editline]4th May 2014[/editline]
Meanwhile, I found the source of the terrible framerate. When switching to r2 and checking almost EVERYTHING off in the options did absolutely fuck all, I unchecked sun shadows. And that did it. As soon as I check it on - it's garbage again.
Question is: with sun shadows disabled I might as well just run it on static lighting, and I don't want any of that shit. What should I check in user.ltx or somewhere to get this stuff sorted out?[/QUOTE]
Turn on DX10.1, +20fps

in the vanilla game
I will keep releasing revisions to to the texture pack and eventually all conflicts will be resolved.... i hope

I'm sorry, but ...
This looks really, [I]really[/I] bad. What's with the shaders? It looks like everything has a fat cell-shading effect going on. Also, the bloom is wonky, you've got white bloom on top of a dark background, surrounding trees and your arms etc.
It looks like you've 'merged' different shaders or something. Really, don't get me wrong, it might be cool gameplay wise, but graphically, it looks worse than SoC. Also, don't take this as an attack on your work, just pointing stuff out

It's the HBAO that's making it look all cell shaded because ambient occlusion is notorious for making lighting look more incorrect than normal.
Here's an example of HBAO vs HDAO from FC3 (both make it look worse)

So, there is a good torrent link for Lost Alpha? I'm going to give a try
i dont get it, i think it looks pretty decent, not like usual where shadows make everything dark as fuck and you can't see etc.
Is there another way to get into X18 on Lost Alpha? The Monolith base is like, really difficult.
So... are the bandits supposed to shoot at you after [sp]you talk to the Sin leader and he takes your stuff and gives you bandit gear?[/sp]
[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;44723334]So... are the bandits supposed to shoot at you after [sp]you talk to the Sin leader and he takes your stuff and gives you bandit gear?[/sp][/QUOTE]
That's what happened to me. [sp] But there's like an open stash to the left of the Sin leader that has all of your gear that you can just take and run off with, it makes the firefight a lot easier if you have the right stuff.[/sp]
[QUOTE=magicman1234;44723317]Is there another way to get into X18 on Lost Alpha? The Monolith base is like, really difficult.[/QUOTE]
Try going around the base instead of going through the front - the entrance to X18 is much more straight-forward that way, you should probably only run into one or two guards if you're quick.
