View File Better Red Than Dead BETTER RED THAN DEAD : Nolf 2 SP Level by Johnny LaRue (March/07) ===================================================== Version1.0 h This mission has more of a "hard edge" to it as Cate is a little bloodied up & there isn't as much gadget play compared to my previous level. Includes increased blood spray/splatter, custom skins, custom textures, modified sniper rifle, Molotov cocktails, cinematic themes and a walk-through.

Hey Triggerhappy, Welcome to the wonderful world of Dediting A tutorial/help file also came with the NOLF2 tools, so it is definitely worth a look as well. These sites also have some great tutorials: http://www.spawnsite.net/ http://www.spydave.net/ http://www.nicepurchase.com/nolf/dedit.htm Here is a link from BahamutZero who wrote a nice terrain tutorial. It will apply to your question because it will show you how to create a single sided brush made up of right angle triangles. In turn you can then manipulate the vertices to create your curved path http://www.unityhq.net/forums//forums/inde...p?showtopic=102 Good luck JLAR

Happy (extremely belated) Birthday to the Indomitable Belladonna! cheers JLAR

Thanks a plenty Eliteone! JLAR

Hey TG*Zymon, I'm glad you got it working & thanks for playing! Yes indeed, the Thief modding community is still going strong! Canada, you rock man! JLAR

Thanks Eliteone! That is really strange? Do you see my modified interface when you load up the game? (the red screen with the soviet soldier? Double check my readme file, maybe there is something you missed. I also just realized that when my mod is enabled, you can simply start a new game without having to go into the chapterlist. Launch Nolf2 / Singleplayer / new game / choose difficulty I can't believe i missed this?! JLAR

Hey TG* Zymon, (nice Thief Avatar, i miss that game) Did you enable my mod through the NOLF2 startup launcher? When you first launch Nolf2, select the custom tab, you will see my mod listing "BRTD". Make sure this is checked. Now launch Nolf2, go into singleplayer / chapterlist my mod will be the only one on the list. JLAR

To be honost , i never really got into multiplayer gaming (mostly online Co-op with a buddy). I'm not even sure what would make a good Doomsday map thanx for the kudos! JLAR

hey john, I am actually looking into this. My GrowOp level was having some transition issues (it's made of 3 maps), when you finish the first map, it wont transition to the next. If i do manage to get it working , you will probably still have to play each level, one rez at a time. There would be some major textures / attributes/ conflicts/ if both levels were in one rez. I'll keep you posted...... JLAR

Thanx people for giving my level a go! The Vodka bottle is the molotov cocktail weapon item. I'm not sure what else you would like a molotov cocktail to do? Thanx for your extremely generous compliment! There are small cutscenes at the start & end of my level. JLAR

It's that time again! I'm pleased as punch to announce that my new SP Level "Better Red Than Dead" is ready to download. You can check out some screenshots @: http://ca.geocities.com/jlar_mods@rogers.com/nolf2brtd.html You can download the file here: http://hosted.filefront.com/JohnnyLaRue/ Have fun & let me know what you thought of it! From README BETTER RED THAN DEAD : Nolf 2 SP Level by Johnny LaRue (March/07) ===================================================== Version1.0 http://ca.geocities.com/jlar_mods@rogers.com/nolf2brtd.html HomePage: http://ca.geocities.com/jlar_mods@rogers.com/index.html Cate is imprisoned in a Soviet outpost & must escape. This mission has more of a "hard edge" to it as Cate is a little bloodied up & there isn't as much gadget play compared to my previous level. Includes increased blood spray/splatter, custom skins, custom textures, modified sniper rifle, molotov cocktails, cinematics & a walkthru. INSTALLATION: ============= Extract the Better Red Than Dead.rar file you should get a BRTD folder, put this folder into your NOLF2 \ Custom \ Mods directory (if you dont have a custom/mods directory you may have to create them). e.g. NOLF2 \ Custom \ Mods \ BRTD \ BRTD.rez now fire up the NOLF 2 Launcher, & hit the custom tab & there should be a listing for "BRTD". Check the BRTD slot & then run the game. Go into singleplayer, then chapter list, & my mod will be the only mission on the list, select it & play! (**i made this mod with nolf2 v1.3) If you have not finished NOLF2, the chapter list option will not show up in the Singleplayer interface. Just doubleclick on the included ChapterListFix.reg file & select "yes" when prompted. (thanx to Alexa & Discomime) **Note** do not skip the starting intro cinematic (it's not that long ayways), if you try to skip it, it will only stop the camera & the cinematic won't run the way it's supposed too. Sorry about that, Nolf2 cinematics are a *****. Build Time: 10 months on & off SPECIAL THANX ============== -Monolith for making such a great game -Spawnsite.net, Sparedlife.com, Spydave.net, The site that shall not be named.com, Coty's site, Wiky's Site & Sovmusic.ru -Thanx to Spawn & Coty for helping me with various aspects of this mod, thanx to Spydave for his cinematic help, thanx to SparedLife for letting me use his skins (again) & for his chapterlist idea & thanx to Old Salt for beta testing the original BRTD & giving me some ideas on how to improve & expand it. -My beta testers CREDITS ======= -Green soviet camo skin by: SparedLife -SniperRifle skin from Mob Enforcer -Molotov Cocktail model from Mob Enforcer, skin by JLAR -Used the Bar prefab from Nolf2, reskinned by JLAR BUGS ==== The intro cinematic sometimes has sound distortions, this is because nolf2 doesn't like playerlure's, soundfx & camera objects all at once!? When Cate holds the Molotov Cocktail, her winter cuff isnt on the model, forgive my dismal modeling skills. ENJOY! JLAR

thanks for the link belladonna Here are my votes: 1. Great wall of china - not my personal favourite but it's vast scale & the fact that it can be seen from space makes it a true wonder. 2. Chichen Itza 3. Machu Picchu The mayans , the incas & the aztecs were able to build such beautiful, cultured cities without european influence or technology. I wonder how there culture would have evolved if Spain had never invaded. 4. Giza Pyramids - yes it should be in the list by default 5. The Kremlin/red Square - an absolutely bizarre, beautiful structure that unfortunately conjures up images of the soviet era. 6. Taj Mahal - even if you were born yesterday, you will still know this place 7. Easter island - Nothing Fancy , but still a wonder JLAR
