: So, let me
: know which you would prefer: a switch that needs to be activated in the
: maze and monsters guarding it; OR make that area just a bonus area without
: any monsters but something or other to make it worthwhile to explore.
Of course I'll always explore it, but the maze just isn't that cool and trying to find a switch down there could make the level seem tedious. I would vote in favor of a major secret - maybe a little ammo, but something revealing - something more enticing than anything we've come across so far. Something along the lines of finding that alien weapon a level early in Trojan.
: Once again, limitations of the marathon engine keep me from making the exit
: ON the train. Trust me, I tried, but nothing satisfactory works. I then
: decided to use the terminal but was hoping it was more understood that you
: read Osinder's message and then during that time the next level is
: loading, your character just leaves the terminal and walks onto the train.
: If there was some way of altering the level transition so that you didn't
: "teleport" everytime I would have just used a fade out or
: something similar.
How about having a narrow teleport poly in front of each train door. These polies wouldn't be active until the train is in the station - I leave it to you to figure that one out - but as soon as the player stepped onto one of those polies, they'd be on the train. The effect would be more fluid if Public Transit were part of this level, but then your extermination level trick wouldn't work. How about a trooper firing on a bob at a distance to flip a switch?
: Finally, did anybody notice anything strange about those hunters at the end?
: If not, try opening the door to the last car, activating the enemies, then
: close the door and keep it closed. When they KILL eachother go in, if any
: troopers remain destroy them. If any hunters remain, stand still for a
: while without attacking them. Hmmmm.... something doesn't seem right with
: these aliens....
Out of curiosity, why did you do it this way?
: Well, my time alloted to the computer has greatly diminished as I have to
: start packing to go back home and then to school. I'm trying to keep a
: list of things to fix and consider, but it may be some time before I can
: get to actually working on them.
Anything you can do will be appreciated, but school comes first.
