PepNess Presents:Free Roaming On D40

Pepsi · Post by **Pepsi** » Sun Dec 16, 2007 8:57 pm

when making FTW i began to think of idea's on how to make it unique and on its own. theres been alot of ideas that i haven't seen before or i guess no one has tried in awhile. one of thoe ideas was to make you walk the final run on d40. the problem with this was the gap you have to clear. in early beta testing it was considered far to cheesy to have chief run at the speed he needed to make this gap. so then i was thinking about killing the timer on d40 all together. i did some searching and i was told "doing that requires scripting and it's impossible"

O'RLY?

me and conure got together tonight and with my relentless focus and his mad scientist brain at work we think we've created a way to kill the final timer for the maw run. the only program used for this mod was conure's scripter located here..

so what does all this mean? what was done? well we have killed the clock in the bottom right of the final maw run giving you free range to explore the level hands on now. there maybe some bugs still in it so im going to say its in RC (release candidate) form right now to the public for trying out. i sat in the maw run in my hog for 45 mins and i never got the game over "you fail" ending so i think its good to go. but then again we did boost that clock to like a hour time when troble shooting this so who knows. still plenty of time.

fun facts:
if for some reason we did miss something and the timer does go off in some hidden script theres no worry, we totally bypassed the bad boom fail cinema and it will show you running into the longsword and winning. yes, if for some reason you fail you still win!

this was going to be included in FTW and still might be if the PMI process goes correctly for redoing d40 again. the .ppf below needs to be applied to a 100% stock d40 map to use. we don't know what will happen if it add it to any rebuilt or modded maps and take no responsibility if you lost your work on d40 cause of it.

picture of victory below:

i will be writing a tut on how to do this at a later time once i sort our notes out and get a proven step by step method.

enjoy and have fun with the food nipple!

This is being moved to Outstanding, why?, Because free roaming on the last level is what people have wanted to do for so long.

Can you take Cortana's voice saying:

"We need to get into warthog, now chief" or something like that?

And yes that is outstanding.I am going to explore D40 at least

"doing that requires scripting and it's impossible"

WTF?They say that requires scripting, but it's impossible?
