Since about 5 people have actually played LM4, here it is again, this time in full SCP goodness. Lightspeeds backgrounds, shine maps, custom loading screens, you name it.

Plus 6 frenzyingly fun missions, all tested time and again, with even spelling errors corrected (for the most part).

To install: Put the LM files in your SCP folder, which should include the latest SCP release, complete with shinemaps and Lightspeeds nebulae.

then either delete the stars.tbl in your data/tables folder, or replace it with the one in the LM4 Root vp. Otherwise you won't get new background effects. Lightspeeds nebulae will still be functional, nothing will be ruined.

Download from the LM4 wiki page:

Nice!

Gearing up publicity for LM5, I hope?

[Jetmech Jr.]

    ive played the LM 1 and liked it, but for some reason i cant download LM 2. Whenever I try, nothing shows up, the page just goes white. This makes me so sad, considering that i despise breaking storylines and therefore wont dl LM 3, especially with those pics of LM 4.

EDIT: now that i think about it, can someone maybe post a mirror for the LM 2 files?

*drools*

[Bobboau]

that's not in game... yet...

[Liberator]

Now that's an impact effect worth of the name.  The one just back from the airlock/docking port.

[Cabbie]

Awesome! I hope my puny machine can handle all this

For all of you guys, who won't d/l the later LM's because of not having played the first ones, well, download 'em. The storylines are only loosely connected, and all of them stand on their own.

And to quiet this LM2 problems once and for all, before I...uh.... get to the next stage of doing stuff, I'll go and redo LM's 1 and 2, to be actually worthy of the LM name.

[Jetmech Jr.]

Good news, and if thats true, well...*goes of to d/l LM*

So new impact/damage effects are in the works? Wonderful! Ive been waiting to see new ones, considering that the old ones are just getting plain fugly with all these scp enhancements    

[Setekh]

That's what I'm Tolkien about! Welcome to the highlights.

[Lightspeed]

I'll definately give this ago - i'd love to see my nebulae in action

Nice Faustus render, btw.

[Xelion]

Sweet the mods around here are getting cooler, maybe its time I played this one... I think its good I waited

Very nice work

So, we have to download all those special things from upgrades, and THEN download LM5? Or does it just include all that with it?

This may be a dumb question, but why is the planetry defence beam cannon (I assuse that's whats firing) shot coming out form the middle of the ocean?

And er,:nervous: the beam shot appears to pass BEHIND the moon (and a very tiny one at that, can't be bigger than the Orion:shaking: )...
Might just be the image...

[Stunaep]

Because there's an installation to small to be seen from space in the middle of the ocean.

As for the passing behind the moon... eh.... look over there! It's Daffy duck!

actually, it's a graphics glitch.

LM5?

Assuming you mean LM 4 the essential d/l links are all in the wiki page. LM5 will get a similar essential d/l page. I wish I could make it simpler than that, but hey, 'tis not my fault that Lightspeeds nebulae ain't included in teh official SCP VP pack(tm).

[Lightspeed]

he's TinCan, his posts aren't supposed to make any sense

[Bobboau]

say, what methods did you use to make those explosion effects?
I see a lens flair and some sort of particle effects
