Also, anybody else besides ComradeReptiloid who have the same problems with my mod? Please post here if you do. I appreciate feedback, I don't get much feedback on both this mod and the MoTmod Addon.

As already said before, I completely removed crashing version, then reinstalled clean Alekhine's Gun (without my mods) on different harddrive and same thing happened. Main menu, briefing and equip tab working fine, but as soon as level finish loading --- game crashes.
I dont copied levels folder this time and game crashed anyway. I try to reinstall last time and copy only sounds and textures.
UPDATE: stupidity is high in this one. I installed sounds and textures and everything work out. Then I installed all other parts of your mod and... Tada! NOW everything works perfectly!

Great that you've sorted it all out! I was about to suggest that upgrading to Patch v1.02 could help, because I update my mod to keep up with the latest official version of the game.

I'm using patch v1.02 after it released. Log showing v1.0a Shadvs though. I will record level 1 and 8 with Enhancement Addon v0.03 and AG Rebirth v0.31

My new internet rocks! Uploaded 1 gb video in 3 minutes.



Report after playtesting: as you can see from my log there is some problems with ragdolls -- Bones not defined for playable character ragdoll. Dont know how that happened, but npc now suffer "waterzone problem" as I call it. In waterzone's npc skeleton goes idle after some time. Enemies now affected by this "disease" rendering they dead bodies rock solid after 1 sec, usually resulting in funny slow-mo falls on the ass. Sometimes cheezy shit can be witnessed. I fired good MP44 burst in GermanSoldier head, his body stuck in the air for about a second, and only then fall on the ground. Two described problems quite rare to be fair. The common missfortune occuring to NPC legs. They stay in stupid positions after enemy death.
Another one: can you give me modified .slp of Black Book level from your mod? I prefer to build on top of that rather than copy your features.

I never touched the .svg file of Black Book. Why would I move the level's vegetation around?

My fault. I messing around with vegetation and invisible walls and typed .svg instead of .slp. Edited later.
Random question: did you tried to play cutscenes in your browser? Sound and video quality far better if you watch this way.

Do you mean viewing them through the files? Yes I have, I didn't know videos can be made to OGG format. I plan to redesign and redub those at some point.

Похер всем на эту игру. В стиме её купило 4 тысяч. а в рознице и того меньше.

Это точно. Дали бы разрабам больше времени. Age of Decadence с выходом задержался на 10 лет и оправдал все ожидания. А все потому что за бугром серию СШ мало кто знает, хоть по ней и были спидраны от Kotti и великого Hitmaniac'а. Жаль, что DtS, Commandos, Hidden&Dangerous канули в лету как и сам жанр tactical squadbased strategy.

А теперь гвоздь программы:
Зачем было создавать AG для консолей и рекламировать как AAA проэкт в пресловутом жанре Stealth Action Adventure со всеми вытекающими отсюда гейм-дизайнерскими последствиями? Почему дата релиза была перенесена на промежуток времени, совпадающий с выходом Лысого и недавним успехом MGS V, что, очевидно, приведет к сравнениям между AG и оными? Stealth Action Adventure AAA по канону продается за счет "графона и сюжета", а не геймплэя; так для чего же тогда было принято решение пожертвовать этот самый классический и проработанный геймплэй в угоду апгрейженого движка 2009 года, если владельцы мыльниц не купят игру исходя из вышеописанного критерия? Все эти вопросы нужно задать издателю во время допроса с пристрастием. А за оправдания в стиле "streamline game to make it appealing for mainstream lowest common denominator console audience" или "we confident, that our rushed unfinished game can compete with other half-assed garbage, presented right now on the market" устраивать фустуарий.

Пойду играть в Stars!
