While the fight for preloads continues, I think I'm ready to announce
beta 1! Download it from the OP. As you can see, the package put on some wieght but trust me, it packs quite a resource:
1. Laser weapons effects
are in. Hurray.
2. Super powers effects
are in. Hurray x 2.
3. All of DLC sound effects
are in. Hurray^99.
4. Memory limits I've hit in previous alpha feel REALLY restricting. While I've managed to find a way to preload all of the textures properly, the price was relatively high: meshes of other weapons started to disappear. I had no other way but to cut cricket bat and urinal, while offering you a DLC2 video camera in exchange. That camera doesn't look really that bad in free roam without a texture, so have fun with it
Hopefully you'll be able to turn it into whatever lethal device you like!
5. I tweaked this and that to make the guns more useful. My intention wasn't to revamp them completely - that's not exacly the point of this mod - but to make them enjoyable at least at first use.
Most weird bugs I encountered so far are connected to "The Troubles with Clones" assets. Swarmitron refuses to load, cutscenes refuse to start (while every other cutscene seems to work as it should), at one point game engine wanted to me preload things I really didn't wanted (and didn't really looked that necessary to preload; I think I've found a decent walkaround though) - all for unknwon reasons that yet have to be explained. Either way, Swarmitron, I'm coming for you!
