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 - ApocalypseIII.rar, 273 MB

<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 ?

[shiv]

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

[ShadowGorrath]

Even on 128MB RAM with 1.2GHz processor ? DON'T LAUGH !!!

[shiv]

I really don't know, but you should try

[ShadowGorrath]

Yeah , I will .

[Vasudan Commander]

Yeah , I will .

you got a crap pc ! 

[shiv]

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

[ShadowGorrath]

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

Vasudan Commander - you're so dead ! 

[CKid]

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

[ShadowGorrath]

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 .

[shiv]

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

[YemminatoR]

pls make also a linux release :/

[shiv]

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

[karajorma]

You have your own binaries? What did you add?

[shiv]

Nope. I told about SCP binaries

(But I have binaries for Earth Defence )

[YemminatoR]

but binary of scp for linux looking for home directory ~/.fs2_open ... and on taht folder there are freeespace2 data

[Snail]

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

[Hades]

You know this how?.......

[shiv]

but binary of scp for linux looking for home directory ~/.fs2_open ... and on taht folder there are freeespace2 data

you can make folder aiii and put binaries into that folder.

You know this how?.......
