Only the A1 gunship is scripted to fly anywhere. Hence the "navigate" command. The others were designed to have already landed when the script starts.

Yeah, I think PS2 has taken the easy route. And just like the first PS game, it will cost them. We're just not doing that. LOD is a hardcore game and I'm not making _any_ compromises in that regard.

yes they are. I checked this over the weekend just to be sure. The deploy_guys1 event is the very first script event that is triggered.

Yeah, I don't have time to explain the script logic. If you read it carefully, it will probably make sense.

IA0204 condition will resolve if you make it back to the rescue gunship. Destroying the GDN unit is only a bonus since these scenarios don't have a clear cut win or lose since they are designed to be open and not locked to any one outcome. There are no other conditions to satisfy and the script has nothing to do with how many infantry are in the scene at the time. Here is the script source as I wrote it. #CAREER : BURKE [MOBILE INFANTRY MARINE] #OBJECTIVE : LOCATE AND DESTROY A GDN4 SAM UNIT #TIME : 16:00:00 #LENGTH : 00:00:30 #REGION : MZA01, WEATHER: NORMAL THE GAMMULANS ARE DEPLOYING NEWER AND DEADLIER GDN4 SURFACE TO AIR MISSILE UNITS. LOCATE ALL THE GDN4 UNITS AT THE BASE AND DESTROY THEM. THEN PROCEED TO THE EXTRACTION POINT.

Working on LOD and everything in between.

I quite like it. I have the new season on DVR and have yet to watch it.

Shit. I saw "Shingen" and I damn near passed out. Been awhile.

Also in step 23, the trick - as you said - is to stay low so that the ground defense systems don't ping you. Once they do, you're dead. So pay VERY CLOSE ATTENTION to your TWI (game manual p18) Sadly, I never got the chance to give the NPCs the ability to use a jetpack. I already knew how to do it, but just ran out of time and never found time to do it post-patch.

Insane. When I wrote that script, even I had to cheat in order to complete that mission within a reasonable amount of time - while not getting capped.

I am not sure I understand the question. Line Of Defense is a totally different type/style of game.

Yup. ALL recognized and long term community members are definite shoe-in, though you still need to sign-up.

Yeah, the game is coming along nicely. And as much press as our primary competition Planetside2 is getting, we're going to beat them. Badly.

Yeah, it is all about time. We do post updates via Twitter and Facebook though.

I probably have them somewhere but I'd be hard pressed to find them. Plus, since all of the BC3K ones later became the full game (which is now released as freeware), I'm not sure what the point of these would be.

Worse. I have to update to the latest Steam api version, rebuild the game source, then update it. So it's not just an issue of building a patch. I have to Recompile the game code Then build the patch Then build the Steam required distribution files Then upload to the Steam ftp for them to host Yeah - it's like that.

It won't work. If you buy UCCE, it comes with it.

Yah - HALT should do it.

Yeah - quite good. And some funny commentary btw #16 can be solved by canceling their pre-existing command and giving them the HALT command. This should wipe any previous orders/state.

1. The LADMK1 is a machine gun turret with more rapid fire. So a single burst will do more damage that either of those rifles 2. Tracers are part of the ordnance and can be hard to see depending on the firing rate of the weapon 3. Yes - they can 4. They were designed that way; use a different pose to improve accuracy at mid-long range

There is a lot more stuff on the game's official website and Facebook page because we're not going to have time to be replicating all that data.

Lots of new screen shots from E3 2012 are up on the Facebook page.

They have a write-up on their website

Interview is up on their website
