At last!


Played it and I had a massive fps drop, 10-15 fps, I had to disable AA and VYsnc to obtain a 25-37 fps range. Maybe if I disabled dx10 I would get higer fps...

Is this cooked?

But ignoring that, good job, especially that thing at the end of a wave.

[bmbr1990]

No it isn't cooked, and i think i know what may cause that fps dorps and i'm working on that, that thing at the end of the wave will be strongly improved

[wizard200]

Great work keep it up.

If you don't like moddb (hm.. strange who doesn't like moddb??), now file is coming thru autorization so you won't be albe to download it from moddb

[quality1000]

How did you do the "Play As:" and "choose difficulty" UI things? What widget is it?

[bmbr1990]

hm i must change this image.... xd
it looks diffirent now, but yes its a widget but i'm not using this at the moment, its a slider(?) or something

[darksin]

Yeah, finally another Horde, 50 waves. great, so Bob is not alone now........

Thanks, hope more port botted version maps in future , long game battle......

[darksin]

OK, play, it, vey nice, hope all Horde is 50 wave in future, the UI is nicely done, too...

i think when each wave ends no need to show the score and music begin, just pass on with next wave is better, just my opinion, also map can be a little brightter, thanks again....

the map size is small ,i love that. No download pain,thx~Great work~~~

[quality1000]

Thank, going to test now!

[bmbr1990]

i've updated 1st post so you can download latest version of this map

[darksin]

Great, checking, after Bob stopped another one picked up, Horde project never die..........

[XxXbObXxX]

UGH, uncooked, this map works, but on cooked version, it crashes, this **** only happens to me!

It has to be Vista, there is no other explanation.

If you dont mind, could you upload uncooked version, please...

[darksin]

Ah, Bob's right, it crashed even in xp, hope change version as well....upload to gamefront...thanks!!

[Drone *]

Cooking maps can cause all sorts of silly things to happen, it is best to leave your maps uncooked

[bmbr1990]

there on moddb is a link to uncooked version.... you must click show details and its beneath the video

[XxXbObXxX]

there on moddb is a link to uncooked version.... you must click show details and its beneath the video

Really? Thanks man, checking

And, I think crashing is related to the usage with LGgamepack_E, since this package is "alergic" to cooking.

And, try uploading uncooked versions on gamefront or something. Mediafire sucks, it triggers a popup all da time, plus "saving as" never works.

[bmbr1990]

i never had problems with mediafire so i uploaded it there.
My friend tested uncooked version and had some issues with some gameplay elements but generally worked well.
But LG_gamepack_E? i dont used it directly with this map just duplicated needed parts and edit edited what was needed to work without that package

[Drone *]

Gamefront works wonders

Although for my mod I use cloud hosting, it's easier to maintain.

[XxXbObXxX]

Uncooked WORKS! But I die at 3'rd wave... all the time, havent got a chance to slay some tickers

Nothing that a good old cheat config cant fix though MUAHAHAHAHA

There is also a bug with Dizzy hat when hard AIMING, but that I can fix myself,you see, Dizzy uses 2 different hats, one for hard aiming and one for normal camera.

Anyhow, very well done. It is a big improvement.

[bmbr1990]

yeah i saw on forum a solution for that but i haven't got time to make it work

[darksin]

Can u upload uncooked to gamefront? can't download from media file, website blocked...

[Drone *]

Is the websites blocked by your ISP or a firewall?

[darksin]

local goverment blocked, i think uncook version upload first is the best, or next time we'll meet this trouble again...Thanks

[Drone *]

Ah ok, nothing much can be done about that then. Maybe try a proxy or something

And yeah it's best to upload uncooked version, cooking maps causes all sorts of problems.

[bmbr1990]

ok i've changed archive on moddb to uncooked version, but you must wait till it will be checked by sitemods, sorry for any problems you've encountered

[darksin]

No internet freedom, sorry no politics, so waiting...thanks again...

[darksin]

Finally played it, uncook version no crash at all, works perfectly,

Geat improvement, the framerate is much higher now, good optimization, just need more light....

Gamplay is tough and fun indeed, i found a problem is when berserker kill teammate, game ends soon,

so very tough to avoid this, maybe just 1 teammate? anyone got some tips?......

Gears 3 models is fun, if more models and maps added and remake into this, then we can play Gears2 and 3 in future.lol..Thanks...

[bmbr1990]

First post info updated, another "build" (it's sounds so professional ) will be developed in future

[darksin]

That's Great news, currently all depends on you, buddy, since Bob stoppedbecause of editor crash,

Strange, other people like you no crash at all....Also waiting for theron's new Horde...

i think no need to show the info after each wave, maybe every 10 wave ?....

[bmbr1990]

I'm encountering some editor crashes, to avoid that every day i do backup of my files and instead of "save & quit" map at the end of my "work" I save, then load & save map (i do that because of some bugs when i chage or delete custom sequence) and quit editor, luckly there is no more crashes

################################################## ######
LOL I'm so unlucky my editor crashes when splash screen is showed up i've tried everything but nothing helped

Thats log from launching, and yes i have missing file (That red one), i've cut some part of text that was unnecessary, if someone knows how to fix that pls tell me

ah, nevermind

[Drone *]

Ah darksin, you cursed his mod. Fear no more, though, his editor is up and running again

[darksin]

Damn, Epic really should update Gears editor, but they already gice up this series, and focus their 5 new games, Future Gears is made by PCF?

Anyway they said the new games is not that big as Gears, whichi mean not cover system TPS, God.......

[bmbr1990]

New infos in first post
PS. Epic doesn't support UnrealEd for Gears.... what a pity.....

[darksin]

Hope more Horde in future.........

[bmbr1990]

i'll make some MP_maps ports when i finish gameplay elements works perfect

[bmbr1990]

Updated first post again
I've edited link to latest version so you can try yourself against horde

[darksin]

Great, try again...waiting for downlad link, i think no need each wave a menu appear.....

[bmbr1990]

if you mean 'scoreboard', now it appears every third wave

[bmbr1990]

I made some progress with that mod so 2 things have to anounced:
1. I'm changing map to Security ported by theron,
2. Now working on "Special Powers"
and here is link for video to present my actual progress
