H.I.V.E Beta

[bmbr1990]

for that uscript is needed and a lot of time which i havent

[Drone *]

That would just completely remove unpredictability so there is no point.

[darksin]

Come on ,If you never played Gears then sure it remove unpredictability.So there's no point remove unpredictability..If you don't want you can leave it default setting, u see The point is for fun, like UT Invasion mod...



Yeah, hard to make man, not like UT editor...

Hi

I was wondering is there a way to play as summer Marcus in campaign mode?

Sean

There is no way I'm afraid.

[bmbr1990]

maybe yes but you would have to rebuild all campaign but there is no point rebuilding all campaign for additional 5 characters

[seanstar]

Hi

another idea i had is to edit the marcus textures to add a similar plate on his back, with the glow lights i like.


maybe someone could help me test these on the model?

regards


Sean

[bmbr1990]

i think thats not the topic to consider your problem.... if you want to test it you have to pack it in winrar or other #### and host somewhere ex. gamefront and pictures shoud have *.bmp or *.tga extensions

[darksin]

Well, i think time to focus on the main mod by the author currently, waiting for 0.3.....

[seanstar]

thanks for the help.

Finally you can (ok not now when file would be authorised on moddb) play v0.3 HIVE Mode more infos in Files info on moddb.
Note to darksin:
Size of File is 187MB, Sorry, it was to much work for uploading every file apart and keep directory structure untouched
End of Note
Download currently disabled (until v0.3 authorisation)

[darksin]

No problem dear Bmbr, gamefront link is always OK, i can download any size file from there. Thanks!!......

[bmbr1990]

[darksin]

Ok, played it,time limit setting bring some trouble, some little locust stuck in some areas and i have to find him everywhere, waste time, and if we don't finish mission in time, the game can't continue, i have to reload map again,

i think the fun is you can play each wave any time you want, no time limit, and enjoy the killing fun, also no timie limit to hammer of dawn in berserker wave, we can make fun of her as long as we can, not kill soon in a rush...

Also a time indicator on the top screen, to show how many time left, looks very ulgy as well.
This mod each wave is already hard and big challenge, so i think no need time limt...thanks man...

[bmbr1990]

i would agree with you, but tell me, whit what i could replace time limitation, cause when i remove it, there wouldn't be the way to lose any special wave... so where the challange? I created horde variation with objectives that you can accomplish or not this is your choice if you want to fight long eahc wave or go through all waves in 15 minutes (yeah its not possible bt this is example ), Only one thing worries me, tell me exactly when if you lose objective you cant continue?

[darksin]

Thanks man, the mod is great , so after play 0.3 i think...

Now we should check the top time, and finish in time.if we fail, i don't know how to continue. Like the berserker wave, i don't kill her, and want to see and running around her, mission time out and fail, a big Fail on the screen, Then i kill her, so no enemy in the map anymore, but then nothing happen, i press button no effect. No next wave next mission ...

Ok, we can finish in time, but i think enjoy the fun of each wave is the best, we can see what locust spawn, running and hiding, what your new models added in, also to see your mod design more clearly, more tactical shooting,
Not hurry kill them all and finish mission soon.

[bmbr1990]

ok, one really concerning thing is that, why you describe your feelings? i really appreciate your feedback but try to write as yourself not as all H.I.V.E players. you have to tell me if this happens to all special wavetypes or only with berserk, and within waves 1-5 or 6-10?? It would be very helpful. And one more thing if you want dont kill it, i try to push patch as far as i locate this bug, so be patient.

[darksin]

Thanks man, sorry my mistake, i changed the feedback to a small one,

So if other mission fail, like kill the boss fail, then the Horde just keep coming, you can kill the rest all and then mission will continue? Maybe add a readme to tell what each wave is and how to continue each wave if failed, thanks man..

Yeah, i just met trouble in berskerker wave, i fail to kill berserker in time, then i kill them all, but i don't know how to continue to next mission, press button but no effect, no response. Some tips? Thanks.....

Also, Another thing is when we shoot Boomer and wretch die, they just stand there, not down soon, so when we shoot them ,that ugly sound appears too...and we don't know if they are down/dead or not soon, not like locust models...
Maybe some fix to this as well? Thanks...

[bmbr1990]

These are effects if you don't check if everything is properly checked and pointed in kismet. I'm making a patch and this patch would fix berserk wave problem and those boomer and wretch die at once, also add some new things like bullettime (5 seconds long, click C to activate - thanks to bob for this ) also multiple startup after death (1 of 3 points to choose) and Incidental ammo (for 20 seconds damage casued to locust are increased twice)

BTW did you moved HIVEsettings to binaries folder?

Thanks ,yes moved, So if we failed the mision in time, what we shall do? kill the rest locusts all and press button to enable next wave? Sometimes too danger to finish in time..Anyway personelly still don't like it, just love to play your mod as long as i can, lol...

[bmbr1990]

no its something i would call a critical bug that needs map reload but don't worry mabye tonight or tomorrow patch will be avaible on moddb

[Xennma]

Been playing this mod for 2 days now and I'm loving it but, the waves seem very difficult, fun, but difficult. And the fact that if you die your most likely to respawn with a warm welcome of 3 - 5 locust waiting at your spawn spot to kill you, is there any way you could give us a spawn shield or 5 seconds or so, or make it so the Locust can't be so close to our spawn? And finally if there could be a way to check how much money we have that would be nice, since I never know what I can and can't buy since I don't have a counter telling me how much I got.

[darksin]

If you want to see money you can press command button to see that...also life number left...
Yup i agree the wave is already very hard, can't finish in time easily...

Thanks bmbr, So if we failed finish in time in wave 10, we have to reload the map again to fight to wave 11 final? .
Good to see patch coming, also hope there's a vote for features in moddb like before, to see what people want in future plan...

[Masteralex09]

I don't like this mod very much. The difficulty of wave 1 in this mod seems of wave 35(or Higher) in Gears 2, the extra power ups seem like a good concept but I can't even get to wave 4(let alone make $1000).
I spawn with too little ammo, I get Headshotted by Grenadiers and Insta-gibbed by Boomers, and when I do go DBNO, it doesn't matter because I don't get revived by my AI retards or Executed by the Locust. I cant prepare at the start because the only way to start the wave is to go to the middle of the map and press a button, so I don't have cover and can't run, and I only have 2 teammates, in Gears 2, 3 and Quality's mod, I have 4 Teammates, the only good thing is that they respawn too.

I have Limited Lives which means I can't die too often, but the difficulty is stupidly Insane, There is also no map based pick ups, so no helping my self to having decent fire power thanks to the tweaked Lancer(Spawns with 135 shots, 45 shots per clip) and Gnasher(5 Shots per clip, 10 shots in Total) I Have on me.

Security was good at horde because of the laser wires, I cant prepare(no cash), I cant camp(Strategically located command center), and I cant fight(I seem to get rushed by 20 Drones/Grenadiers/Cyclops/Snipers, or I get 5 tickers 8 wretches, and 10 nemacyst, or multiple Boomers.

Also tickers are just stupid, insane Range, Too much health, I cant tell if they're dead(when they die they don't explode)and I cant run because of all the enemies.

[darksin]

Well, i love the gameplay, but ragdoll seems more natural for death animation, also prevent those ugly dead sound.....

Man, try to think how to survive... i can, without cheating & using default weapon settings, go to wave 5,6 or further. For entire wave you can get 300-400$, also dont forget about collecting dropped weapons which can be very useful. This mod isn't for people who aren't able to use all they have or even more... Ticker... i think it isn't so exaggerated, you can use it to run ito you enemies and blow between them. Play as you want you can use glitches or other exploits in-game.

The main issue with the difficulty is that there is only one spawn point that is crawling with locust, making extra lives useless
Try activating god mode 10 -15 seconds when spawning, others have done it, like in LGE or PW, if you dont know how.


Also, is there an option to buy extra teammates/ reinforcements, like increase temmate max to 4, I did not saw it ?

with latest paych there is a spawn point choose option so after death we can respawn in same place or in two other places (old DSP ring spawn points)
extra teammate will be avaible when mod will have 15-20 waves.

Whoops, I forgot to install the patch...

[darksin]

This mod is great, we all love it ... just hope not too many limit settings, make the gameplay system stable and no bugs..After played for a long time, any change we can see clear compare to the old, and test good or need fix or remove...

[XxXbObXxX]

Played the patched version, and it was a great improvement.
However, I found a bug with the GOW3 friendly AI DOM, in which the GOW3 materials and the GOW1 materials were, I dunno how to put in words, "competing", overlapping, conflicting with each other... just verify.

[carlos_killar]

couyld someone please tell me how to start everthing is in right directories dont see a main b menu where do i find this baby step me to how i get this to work

[bmbr1990]

watch first seconds of movie, if you copied roght of course

[carlos_killar]

Thankyou got it

[DaNCeSWiTHBuLLeTS]

I spent an hour or so playing this mod and all I can say is that it was love at first sight. What the modders have done for Gears on the PC is indescribable and downright inspiring. I eagerly await each iteration of this mode. I must say though, would it be possible for all the modders to combine their content into one, huge Gears mod? It'd be like an entirely new game... or the sequel XBox users never got. Like the team behind Project Warzone thread, the individuals behind HIVE should be rewarded somehow for their efforts as well. It's only right.

[bmbr1990]

XD thanks but acxcording to your words i must say tha HIVE Mode and PW mod are made only by one person (PW is made by CowboyLocust and I'm making HIVE)

[DaNCeSWiTHBuLLeTS]

You guys don't have a team backing you up?!
