This is another big update that includes: Saving and Loading of Coop Progress, checkpoints, secrets, more cheats, and lots of awesome fixes. Checkout the details below.

Pretty crazy there's only 2 things left on my to do list for v0.9: The Primagen/ending, and Difficulty setting.

• Added Saving and Loading of COOP progress! Created a starting map in Singleplayer for the server to save/load your game and coop progress. As the server select New Game in the main menu to go to the map and save or load your coop progress. Warning: Any future versions of the mod will be incompatible with older versions.
• I've fixed a known issue. Dynamically spawned pickups will now show their pickup message and play a sound/voice for clients.
• Removed the old checkpoint system and went through all the maps and added checkpoints throughout the maps.
• Fixed the issue for clients where when the AI was wounded would replay the wound animation 1 or more times. I've prevented the modestates wounded bail out and now it only plays once, yay!
• You can now trigger special secret regions. And added all the special secret regions and eventlinks to all maps.
• Number of secrets found is now displayed in the "call stats" text menu.
• A cheat flag is now set if any server cheat commands are used and is shown in the "call stats" text menu. (currently has no effect)
• new cheat console command, call tiny (makes all enemies tiny)
• new console command, call dif0 .. 3, to change the difficulty. Difficulty is shown in the "call stats" text menu and will take effect when the next map begins.
• new cheat console command: call secrets (All secrets become found)
• new cheat console command: call lives (Toggles infinite lives)
• Totem maps now display the number of enemies remaining at 75%, 50%, and 25% of enemies left.
• Player ammo and health is now saved as it changes
• Flame Thrower now uses the particle trail from SP
• Tek Bow has the wind up before the explosion again. Added blood particles when tek bow hits flesh and creature surfaces.
• Fixed some of the weapon speeds for the fast weapons cheat.
• Health Generators in blind eye boss are no longer initially active
• Added a switch in Port 6 to lower the last bridge
• Added a missing region in River 9 and removed part of the left wall at the beginning giving a more open feel, and added a broken bridge there, and added a secret, and removed an overlapping static mesh on the map, and added a jump pad near the checkpoint station.
• Lowered chance of death marshes prisoners from playing the call help sound
• In Lightship 1, fixed a part where you could get stuck
• In Lightship 3, made the player walk over regions to activate upper switch instead of using the switches touch radius.
• river 4 bridge gap can now be crossed from both sides once you've reached the other side
• Hive 6 removed incorrectly placed wall static meshes in main generator area
• Mother inhale attack in stage 2 is no longer invincible and has a higher chance to do inhale in stage 3.
• Removed custom gfx: Turok Face, and HUD Bar.
• After completing a Totem map you will receive an inventory item to indicate that you've successfully completed that totem map.
• Added another cover object at the end of port9
• Removed lava flag on damage regions in Marsh 3 oblivion portal
• blind lair 4 added warp portal instead of falling down a hole to reach the thermal vent to signal it's on the same map.

 

Holy KPF! Already finished level 5!? Nice work!

Is there any chance of putting in the hub as a bonus level?

Wow thanks so much! You guys are great. I'm adding you to the credits too now. With this support from you guys I've really been going through the maps pretty fast now, already half way through the Hive. I'll probably finish it before the weekend and I didn't think I'd be able to finish it till much later. Thanks again!

Thanks, Dinomite. I just want to let you and every other person who donated that I'll be including your names in the credits of this mod under supporters as a small sign of my appreciation for your support.


And also in the next update I'll be using the X-Ray effect on players so you can find other players that are nearby more easily since I know that's a common problem everyone is having. And of course you can turn it off at any time if you don't want it.

Lair of the Blind Ones is done! 2 more worlds to go!

I fixed many issues with the maps in Lair of the Blind Ones more than usual. The worst ones were the first 2 key rooms. If you run past the key and walked over the regions to open the door behind you nothing would happen since it's already open. Then you'd pick up the key and the door behind you would close. Kill all the enemies and the door in front of you will open where your suppose to walk over the regions that open the door behind you. But you already triggered those regions so nothing happens and the door behind you stays closed forever.

Version 0.7 ^{June 7, 2018}

• All maps in Lair of the Blind Ones completed!
• Life Forces are back and you can gain and lose lives, but nothing happens yet when you lose all lives. Type call stats in console to see your lives and life forces.
• default radius of pickups is now smaller. Set to 40 which I believe is the same as SP.
• Soul Gates will stop spawning particles when there are 6 or more deadman.
• Fixed actionobjects from getting removedOnTick before SignalOn was getting called.
• Fixed warp portals that enter closed areas from being visible before they are suppose to become visible when reloading the map.

Thanks, yeah that sounds like a plan. I'll probably do that with the lives until I'm able to change the map. And I'll be putting the Life Force pickups back soon too. Just got to finish up the rest of the maps and bosses.

Thanks! Yeah just about everyone wished they included coop in the remaster. I just saw with a lot work it could be done and tried to just go for it. Glad you liked it too. And thanks for the Patreon pledge that's super awesome of you!

I notice the game saves our weapons/progress. if I quit back to the main menu and start a new game, it will save it too.
however, if I close T2 and launch it again, all progress is lost. is this normal?

Yes that's how it is. I'm not able to save anything to a file through the games scripting so the state of the game is saved in memory only. So if the host exits the game you'll lose your progress. But I will be creating starting inventory, completed objectives, and weapons for each map when you start a new game so players can get a better starting point on any map you start from. If you want to start a new game without closing the game you can open the console (~ key) and type "call newgame" (no quotes) and the next map that loads it'll be a new game.

Is there any way to set the lives limit? or the game difficulty? or does that scale when I add more players?

For now, there's no real way to punish players for losing all their lives. Normally I'd change the map to the first map but it's currently not possible to change to a specific map though scripting, and I've asked the devs if they could get that in for the next update to the game. They said maybe. So I'm putting a lot of hope on that maybe for this mod. Difficulty currently doesn't scale yet, but it will in the future when I get to it. Right now the difficulty should be equivalent to Normal with more enemies in the early maps.

And here's some useful console commands (~) you can use that most people don't seem to know about:
"call stats" to see your current progress.
"call help" to see a full list of my special commands for making some crazy gameplay happen (change gravity, move speed, double jump, and dashes to name a few).

Sounds like a lot of work went into this update, great job man! I like that note about the Firestorm there.
