Description:
A horrific mutant outburst is haunting cities all over the world.
Anything from zombies to mutated bats and other creatures are spawning up all over the place.
According to the reports, one big mutant, tagged 'Incendius' should be controlling the mutant forces,
and must therefore be annihalated. This is where our 11 brave marines comes into the picture.
It is their job to hold stand against the minor mutants until the arrival of the chief mutant.
Their mission is to take down the big one, and hopefully the rest will vanish back into the shades.

You think you're up for the job?

Why does the interface look so ugly?

 

[Daicos]

looks cool... ill have to play it when i get my comp bak

 

[lindenkron]

Why does the interface look so ugly?

I think black interfaces goes nicely with zombie maps. Probably why there are so many of them that have it

 

[CaptDeath]

yeah cause black=1337
looks good i think ill play it and are you gunna have a save load for ranks?
omg no link :'(

No save and load in this game, it's a "short" game so to say. But I like the rank idea, as you can see Im not 100% done with ideas and triggers.

Might use it, we'll see. Depends wether SFilips can fix my currently issue, /prays <3

 

[lindenkron]

--Bump--

Beta test is ready (Expecting bugs, yes)

Hope to see some from thehelper.net there, since alot of this I owe to the help i've gotten here The date and time is listed in post #1. in big letters.

In advance,
Thanks

I'd like to test it but I'm unsure of the time... the only time converters I can find require actual cities for comparison, I can't just do a us or eu conversion. From the looks of things it seems you'll be beta testing this past midnight for me, which is no big deal... cept I'd like to be more precise with the time. Could you convert me an actual time? I'm in brisbane, australia.

 

[lindenkron]

Ye, it looks like it would be quiet late for you, hope you can still be there though

[lindenkron]

Hehe, have only tested the features with 3 players, using cheats to level us up etc. So I'm not actually sure what happens when we enter with 11, if everything will crash or what

Gonna be interresting, glad you can come The "none random" people meet up in channel "Clan DDSF"

 

[PureOwnage]

[lindenkron]

Just need alot of balance and beta tests now, would prefere people from this forum since most know what they are talking about being map makers themself .

 

[Furby]

[lindenkron]

[del]A PM will be send to all on the Beta test list, with a "perhaps" time for the Beta test. And those who can will PM me back yes / no. Need minimum 5 yes [/del]

 

[lindenkron]

[del]For all the beta testers etc.

There won't be any Delta Expedition. When switching from my old, to a new stationary harddisc, I moved all my datas to an external harddisc.
When I plugged in my external harddisc to my new stationary harddisc, something must have happend. I can no longer use the external harddisc, it just doesn't show up.

So this project, along with anything I might have been working on is gone and being shut down. Guess I'm done with map / spell making etc.

Have fun, was an experience getting to talk to you guys and get to know some of you.
Thanks for all the help on my ridicoules threads.
-Lindenkron[/del]

Jesus christ, phew I'm back . My moms bro' found a way to restore my external harddrive enough to get my map and other stuff like songs out of it. EVen though it had been partially formated by a mistake. The damn thing was plugged in the USB when formatting my new harddisc. Meaning it tried to format both, on the first formation (that werent run all the way through because it took to long)

Guess I caught a break .
