Title: RELEASE: Apocalypse III v1 standalone :)
Post by: shiv on July 27, 2007, 01:07:10 pm

Hi everyone!

Because of long work with Earth Defence MOD, I decided to release Apocalypse III without campaign. It's standalone, total conversion MOD. Now (2007-07-27) some ships are lacking and it is now some weapon entries in the MOD, it is no cutscenes, credits.tbl entries are lacking, species.tbl is incomplete, but you should like graphics, weapons and ships from my MOD. Every FREDer can ask me for the plot to help me in FREDding main campaign or FRED he's own missions and do new stories. You can modify Apocalypse III as much as you want. It's task of your imagination!

Apocalypse III v1. Download (http://freespace.pl/hosted/apocalypse3/release/ApocalypseIII.rar) - ApocalypseIII.rar, 273 MB
http://foxer.pl/freespace.pl/hosted/apocalypse3/release/ApocalypseIII.rar - mirror
http://www.nukelol.com/downloads/freespacefiles/conversions/ApocalypseIII.rar - mirror2

Instructions:
1. Extract it somewhere. For example C:\Games\apocalypseiii
2. Run launcher and select fs2_open binary
3. Click run
4. Enjoy! First campaign mission is included! - sp-01.fs2 :)

It would be nice to see your recomendation what should I include in Apocalypse III v2, see your ideas and feedback. ENJOY! ;7 ;) :) :D

<evil laugh here> ! Yes ! Me was waiting for this ! But 1 question though - will it work on a ... 'piece of junk' PC ? I mean - a PC that meet's FS2 recomended reqs , no more ?

It works fine on Sempron 2500+, 512 MB of RAM and GeForce 5500 with full details in launcher, 1024x768 and full anti-alias in d3d or highest details in OGL. It should also work fine on lower configurations if glowmaps or other "bonus features" are turend off :)

OK. So anyone have tested? How're the feelings after gameplay?

Post by: ShadowGorrath on July 28, 2007, 03:21:54 am

I'm gonna do that right now and then post back here . I mean that 1 mission .

Vasudan Commander - you're so dead !  :p

Wow, I love all the different weapons you can use.

Managed to get it to work  ;)

The graphics are nice ( even to me , and I'm running without the shinemaps and etc. ) , but the quality of the first mission isn't good . I mean - there are many grammar mistakes . Anyway , it's a nice idea so continue working on it .

Thanks for your feedback, Shadow. I know that my grammar isn't good but  I think my FREDding skills are pretty nice ;)

You just have to extract it into your home folder in GNU/Linux, then compile source code and put binaries into AIII folder.

Post by: karajorma on July 28, 2007, 11:57:22 am

You have your own binaries? What did you add?

Title: Re: RELEASE: Apocalypse III v1 standalone :)
Post by: shiv on July 28, 2007, 02:37:58 pm

Nope. I told about SCP binaries ;)

(But I have binaries for Earth Defence :) )

Title: Re: RELEASE: Apocalypse III v1 standalone :)
Post by: Snail on July 28, 2007, 03:56:14 pm

The main campaign will have a lot more missions (around 20) and should be cleared of most grammar errors.

Hmm.  You could always try sticking an nVidia 6800 GS in there, that'd help... and upgrade the RAM to max, that'd help more.

Post by: Snail on July 29, 2007, 07:24:39 am

Oh, and this is more of a 'dump' than anything else. A3 V2 will have a lot more mods and a few of the mods included here will be dropped.

Have fun.

Oh, god, not those shivan bombers with beams again! They're a pain to take down. :(

It looks incredible, I'll try as soon as possible. :yes:

Title: Re: RELEASE: Apocalypse III v1 standalone :)
Post by: Snail on August 05, 2007, 07:20:44 am

The Vindhyachal doesn't have beams and is the 'standard' Shivan bomber now.
