KoMik Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Heye. I just checked my old S3database backup save (11.1.2005) and noted that there was my old random maps which I played with some friends during winter (so I know those works pretty well). Almost right after that save I started to create own/new campaing and now my database doesn't work with orginal campaing anymore. My campaing addon mod (now called small_mod) still needs lots of scripting and I got some 'problems' with the story and translation progress... so it will take time (what I don't have much) to get it ready for releasing. Now I thought that maybe I should release something before that (just to check via testers that my maps and mod(s) even work in other computers). I'm making a small extra-randoms mod to Sentinels which includes these adds:-Over 20 new random maps (to Poland/Germany)-Almost every new random in Poland includes script (enemy logics and extra items)-Better loots and harder (level) enemies to orginal randoms (just for you DoomMunky) and new ones I call it RS3_mod (RandomStorm for Sentinels) and just tell if some of you got ideas what other 'simple-stuff' you would like to see in my mod. BUT like I say I don't have much time for it (I'm doing it while waiting my friend translations and story improves to small_mod). It is very important to me that RS3_mod works in other computers because if not... then I don't have no reason to keep doing small_mod ready. So soon some of you have possibility to see what kind of surreal maps I like to build and if you are 'a map builder wizard' or 'a script-master' you can tell me if I have done things terrible wrong. I know that gamers (like me) get fast bored to randoms because those are 'just brainless killing' without objectives so I won't take this mod too seriously... And here is some questions:-How that level value works in chest table? (and does it have something to do with difficult level)-How many variants I can safely create to chest table? (and is there something what I should know about that)(-Is there anyway to move map templates from database to database... S2->S3? --old question again--) That's all for now. I just started my holiday and I'm staying away from net about a week (I promised to help my parents in their farm... hard simple work) so I can't check if someone have replied to this topic. I'm serious about this ("1-2-3-testing...") and see ya all after I get back. k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novik Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 -How that level value works in chest table? (and does it have something to do with difficult level)If you specify "Easy", items will be placed to chest for "easy" or lesser game difficulty. (Calculations based on game rating, you can see this rating on bottom of "Custom Difficulty" screen)"Normal" - game difficulty > easy and <= normal."Hard" - game difficulty >= hard.-How many variants I can safely create to chest table? (and is there something what I should know about that)It is so much, how many it is necessary for you.(-Is there anyway to move map templates from database to database... S2->S3? --old question again--)Depends on that you have in view of. If you mean "convert old S^2 mod to S^3 mod" - yes, it possible. But process is not "full automatic". You may send your S^2 mod to me and i convert it to you. Or i can try to describe this process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoomMunky Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Yay!!! Our first homegrown mod for S3!! Upload it so we can test it, KoMik! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Just upload it to the files section KoMik, and I'll add it. You can use your forum login there to upload. If it doesn't work, tell me and we'll find other ways. Keep up the good work mate! Might be a good idea to have Novik test it first though, to see if it works at all.

KoMik Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 Eey... i-connected. Nice to see some replies, especially Novik's (The Mod Star). I'm still pretty 'shocked' that you really pay attention and very-very good support for us modders out here - "Great" -. Is there now any marvelous mod projects going and glowing in Russia? Do we see something after the humorous, ideal and waited Hammer & Sickle? (((- Who doesn't want to read blah-blah or all at once may now jump via (X) to end of this post and start testing with own risk... -))) OK... I got time to edit RS3_mod a bit but it is still far away from ready, steady and rolling. This mod is over half year old and I should have released it then for testing - but sooner or later / more or less: RS3_mod is the one what made me dream a scripted campaing with story of my own... so it's quite 'classic' to me [add your own smiley here]. Now there exist 18 extra random encounters for Poland chapter (easy to find) and I didn't have time to edit the orginals. Randoms which are near begin/exit are easier: Few enemies and small maps (farms or something). Those which are further are little bit harder: Bigger maps (houses and natures) and more hard boiled enemies. There is some 'new' random mobs (mix-mobs) with different equipments which means harder situations, need of full half squad tactics and probables to get better loots. I have placed also armed civilians as 'the low armed wannabes' with terrors to many maps. I will keep in secret my Germany/Switzerland/England randoms for now because I want to fix/add those later/better (for something different). So now RS3_mod is truly a simple maps preview test version and I don't know how it will work with the campaing (it may be a bad spoiler to the Nival crew plans: Gamers can get more money from my randoms than from the orginal missions and possibility to crashes is higher). If someone want/dare test it, he/she should be ready to face some amateur(simple)stuff: Begin cameras might show else place than where your party actually were deployed and so on... Many randoms (variants) left without a script or a proper script. There is only some reused logic/behaving/command scripts (a half year back I made my first probe to LUA-scripts). I try to find time for scripts - update soon. I myself like these kind of small random encounters where fighting ends after 10-20 turns so these maps can be played during a lunchbreak (if it goes wide then be sure your boss isn't around). This mod is 'highly' recommended for the family dads and the hard workers who don't have much time for games but still enjoy playing these kind of 'developed chess' maps/games. RS3_mod (ready or not) should also be playable with friends = koMik's Productions main goal. (X) Known problems: (this is anti-ad in one pack)- Unsure test version (not tested properly with the campaing)- More odd crashes may happen (when loading etc.)- Loading times may be longer (especially the first one)- No huge maps (for the big and long tactics thinkers)- Loots are better than current store items (makes you count the bullets)- Same old music in every map (listen your own ambiet+combat records/mods)- Not a different game (but/and more surrealistic infrastructure)- No story, unlinearity or rpg elements (not in this test mod)- Stupid AI get stucked to my 'well builded' ladders (I shot it down)- "Just digital shooting and killing"--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Depends on that you have in view of. If you mean "convert old S^2 mod to S^3 mod" - yes, it possible. But process is not "full automatic". You may send your S^2 mod to me and i convert it to you. Or i can try to describe this process.If it is possible to 'move' map templates from database to database... it make then mates without a safe lan connection team-works possible (I have already abandoned all hope about that). I would like to add my S2 maps to RS3_mod (and later to small_mod too) but there is no reason to rush for it. My knowledge about the SQL-server, databases and tables is very poor (usually my works with Blueshell end up to crash). I wouldn't dare to ask your quality time to my 'projects' but I will get back with questions after I have updated RS3_mod test version to some kind of final and safe version. Pashiba. @ Olav & DoomMunky: Let's hope that I get it ready and shape to be moved in the files section. This test version for my maps can be downloaded (3Mb) from one finnish computer-magazine order's site... a small extra storage for me. -- Btw can you or Pete change my nick KoMik to koMik (it's what I use nowdays) if it's not too much trouble?... otherwise:"Forgete'baut it" (...or how they spell it?) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope that even some of you get enjoyable turn based small tactical combat challenges with RS3_mod. Hopefully you hate the names what I have given to my maps (I know I do) and DON'T play randoms too much or you get bored to those like I have. Doctor's recomments: "Maximum 4-times, 1-4 maps in 6 days and wait for the first update if you wish...". I'm going to put RS3_mod to a health inspection and then I try to operate it better when my vacation is over but this is not my main mod 'project' and will not never be. -- https://koti.mbnet.fi/sil5i/mods/RS3_mod.zip -- If you have problems with the zip-file it may be my bad i-net upload data transfer fault. (My crappy old gateway box/machine: It doesn't even let me connect proberly when it has a bad day... I hate it so much... hi-tech fast for life my ass... oops.) To install: Unpack to S3 game directory to get "RS3_mod" folder. To uninstall: Remove folder to the trash bin. If you still have your old S3 save(s) around then you can use Novik's S3addmod but remember to make a backup save (orginal). I think it is also possible to jump back to the orginal game after moments with RS3_mod (with loots and more money in pockets). A save on globalmap should be the best one to addmod. Next version releasing might take time... Long waited summer end vacations from work keep me a busy vacationer. After a week (when I get back to my home and work) you may read more my bad english.

Slaughter Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I'm not sure how to change the case in member names koMik. I'll check if anyone else do. Regarding the modification, it just appeared in our files section out of nowhere. Same with the front page! Strange... Seriously though, this is the first modification I know off that adds content to Sentinels, and even a early test deserves space in our files section. I'll remove it if it ends up too bug ridden. Can't test it myself just now. Besides that, enjoy the rest of your vacation and keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fgbrooks Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Hi KoMik, I played all 4 of your test maps, and they worked just fine. No crashes, no problems at all. The AI was excellent as well. Very nice to have some new Sentinels stuff. I especially liked the enemy use of grenades, even if I did get blown up twice. One question: I noticed that I was leveling (gaining xp) very quickly. Did you change the xp growth rate? If yes, how did you do it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 @koMik or Novik: Is it possible to only play the random maps? Or maybe make one version where you play all 18 in sequence without running around the map looking for them? Oh, and great work Novik! Tell me when the changes have been implemented koMik, and I'll upload the new version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novik Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 @koMik or Novik: Is it possible to only play the random maps? Or maybe make one version where you play all 18 in sequence without running around the map looking for them?Possible. You... or koMik... i write "you", OK? 1) You need to specify scenario zone for templates of each random maps. Each scenario zone with unique name. This operation not fully available from editor (field ScenarioBlockNumber or ScenarioBlock - i don't remember - not available for filling). You need to add new scenario zone from editor (ScenarioZones tab), specify Scenario, Template, ScenarioBlock, SmallDescription. After that with direct access to SQL base (with MS Access or Blue Shell Data Guy or ather) you need to edit this record (table DBScenarioZones) and specify skipped field. Set it to 1, for examle.2) If all ok, now you can access map in game with script function BeginZone(zonename) where zonename=SmallDescription from point 1). (You need to start new compaign before that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoMik Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 Thanks Novik that you give your time to check my minimal and amateur scripts! I'm glad about that. I will fix those as you descripted. I think I know about Silent Storm scripting under 1% and you know 100% - that's make quite difference. I have been so damn alone with finding out those and most of my limited time have been gone to maps (I like building maps a lot). I didn't know that headshot is completely different way to kill enemy and I will use usrUnitIsActive for now on. So... you found my errors what I have missed somehow... thanks for those. I haven't used WaitForUnitRoute since this mod and I actually tried to chance all to WaitForUnitWaypoint but those what you found I missed in hurry. A half year ago I didn't even use false/true in UnitActiveWeapon and that UnitSetRoute without those was something like that too... my bad. Attack_Retreat and Vappaa are unused test scripts what I have reused as storages. Thanks again... Was very kind of you to kick me forward. @FryWalker: Nice to see that you still hang around and you dare to test my test mod?!? I will give you after weekend some ID numbers to my 'big' maps and you can test how those work in your multiplayer mod... @Slaughter: Actually my small_mod have that "mission after mission" idea and there is complete new maps. These maps are just way too old ones to me so I wouldn't enjoy script and test those again and again (modder hell)... But your idea has a potential. I let you know when I have fixed scripts as Novik descripted (after weekend) and let's see what happens then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Well, if the process Novik described isn't too hard, it would be great. I'm too lazy to run around the map searching for them, so it would be better to play them in a row @Novik: Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoMik Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 OK... you got it I could do it... but I want to do it simple to not spend too much time (away from small_mod). If I do some kind of objectives like: - Kill'em all- Assassianate the enemy leader- Free and escort- Find and steal their 'hand or cook book'- Sabotage- Destroy their gas stoves (so they can't cook warm meals no more... that would piss them off badly) ...and something like that... That wouldn't be too hard and much time taking. I don't know how to stop ShowLoot() before BeginZone() command (it just blinks) so I maybe should use the ScenarioAddVisibleZone() command... which would open the next zone to free enter, when leave show loot screen and base would be available between missions. RandomStorm? Well... name is easy to chance. I have already made some variants to randoms and thats why I should change (and make new ones) 18x4=72 scripts and that might take time and cause some problems. Maybe if I make 10 missions (as somekind of koMik's humorous background story) and left others as randoms... Now I have to go... I'm not using own computer and i-connect. And owners are already sleeping or passed out. See you at least on next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Well, you don't have to make objectives or anything. Keep it random, but if it isn't too much trouble make another version that has all the random missions in a row so I don't have to search for them. Anyway, no big deal, just if it's easy to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novik Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I don't know how to stop ShowLoot() before BeginZone() commandHm... May be you need set ShowLoot and ShowStatistics fields to 0 for scenario zone, from which script you say "BeginZone". Table DBScenarioZones or Scenario Zones tab in editor (i don't remember - is this fields are available in editor really). For random zones - i don't know how.

Carda Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Playing with this custom mod question.... As I was overjoyed with a mod for S3. I directly downloaded your mod and as instructed unzipped it in the main directory of the game.When starting the game I went to Custom Game and placed your mod in the left side of the screen. Then I loaded my last savegame (in poland map) but I cannot find your random encounters. Just the standard ones Maybe I have to start a new game again to 'activate' your mod or... ???

KoMik Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 Sorry about the long periond since last posted but I have been busy with my real works and I have to bought a new gateway machine because the old 'canceled the contract'. I have now fixed RS3_mod.zip (v.finaltest?) scripts and lifted higher the random's probability to become visible values (40-->80/100). Higher probability cause a problem that you may 'deploy' over the previous random icon when leaving from map to chapter... so game loads then the previous map again but that doesn't happen way too often. Faster XP-crowth comes if gamer shoot officers or those 'Renegade Jugend' pals but thats not a constant in every map or variation. Here in this topic I have not heard any passage-, build construct- or lighting errors/problems so I think this my maps preview test mod has done it's job. :skull: (R.I.P.) It is going to be changed soon completely so if someone want to keep it: Change the folder name "RS3_mod" to something else before the next version but may be that now on ain't further support or updates for RS3_mod (v.finaltest?) incoming. - Thanks to all who have beared and helped/supported me and showed interest to my maps test version! - "1-2-3-test-is-over-3-2-1-0 (with echo)." :Mikko (the random spare time modder) ja niin maan perkeleesti, nääs.

TheThirdEye Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Recently, I felt that the difficulty of S3 was too low. I started a new game, increased the level and hp's of enemies and installed the RS3_mod. Now, I must confess, I am getting owned by the enemy. I really enjoy the change of pace the new random maps provide yet I fear I will likely have to go back and lower the difficulty of the game to complete at least one of them. I could simply be that I have gotten unlucky as of late and ended up in the more difficult encounters. So far I am impressed with what I have been able to see before my character get's wasted. In particular I have noticed that patroling guards will not stick to the same path. This makes it very difficult for a scout to sneak in for that killer backstab attack. If intrested I'll post any futher experiences I have with this mod. I am a bit of a random encounter fanatic. In S2 I spent more hours in random encounters than I did in the missions. Thanks for the great mod & keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drexciya Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 After downloading the mod I restarted the game and tried some of the random encounters. One thing is certain; they're much more difficult and more interesting than the standard random encounters. I really enjoy playing them. I haven't seen problems concerning stability and so on, so it's simply a great mod. As to the getting equipment which you shouldn't have compared to the storyline; I don't care. If you really use the in-game random encounters, like the bank heist, you can buy team members with such equipment anyway. It's not much of a problem I think. All in all, thanks KoMik for this great mod, which will at the very least keep me busy until Hammer & Sickle finally gets released in my neighbourhood (end of October?).

mlangsdorf Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 KoMik - I want to say thank you for creating RandomStorm, which has really added to the enjoyment of my S3 games. I am having one problem that I'd like to mention, in hopes you can address it for a future release or suggest a way to work around: The start points for the RandomStorm maps are set too close together for Panzerkleins. Thepanzers are always on top of each other and no one can move or attack. It's very annoying. Is there a way to work around this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoMik Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hollo, Nice to see that someones like to play my first (& 2 fast released) RS3_mod randoms. I myself think now that those are way too difficult to give a enjoyable gaming moments. I mean, there is too much mobs which cause quite chaos almost everytime... @mlansdorf:Sorry but I have never tested my randoms with PKs. I planned this mod to be played with small weapons (melee, pistols, smgs and rifles) because I wasn't a PK fan (afterward thought: I really don't know why). I can imagine that 'the PK deploy bug' is really annoying for PK's fans . I overwrote the RS3_mod's database when I started to make a new mod so I can't fix the problem anymore. Sorry and sorry again but thanks for reporting. I try to avoid that error in future. Anyway, I got my writer friend interested and we are now making a new campaing mod and it will be sci-fi (not 'full-metal-monsters-mod' but with change to use and fight against PKs of course) and I'm pretty excited about it's mad world and new crazy enemy consept (it is and will really be a GAME with game world). We try to make some kind of description with screenshots some day but we won't rush for it (everybody is drooling now for H&S so much that writing a description would be just waste of our freetime... which we don't have much).

sniggles Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Hi koMik, Thanks for your excellent RandomStorm Mod. Really improved the random skirmish battles. However - I am getting one little problem and wonder if you or anyone has the time to quickly help me out? On Germany random encounters i sometimes get a map that starts with the screen of a bomber plane flying into the sunset - this map never seems to work. It is a big bombed out city with no enemies or it loads a miniature floating square of land with just enough room for your squad to fit on. Any idea what is going wrong? Only happens when i use RandomStorm Mod. I have the UK Gold edition (April 2004) and have patched it to 1.1 (June 2004) and i am using your 'final test' version of the randomstorm mod. Oh - and happy Christmas to you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoMik Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 Jahaa... In RandomStorm mod there shouldn't be any custom random encounters in Germany chapter, only in Poland. I made some maps for Germany (also for England and Switzerland) but I removed those from this released maps test version. I don't remember that I builded a big ruined city map with a plane crash... that's odd to me. That small square map comes if there is a empty random in chapter (not linked to specified map). When I get back to home after my vacation I will check out these things... and maybe you get a new updated version... AND with new maps. How about that? I found the missing database backup copy from one CD. There is some maps what I can't use in my new incoming scenario mod (those are too realistic for it) so maybe I add those to RandomStorm. RS3_mod productions new scenario mod is getting so 'big' that a releasing date may be after a year... *huh*. I try to take time for a small RandomStorm update but I can't promise anything for sure. Mikko, near the North Pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniggles Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Hi KoMik, Thanks for the reply and information. I have now been using your RandomStorm Mod for a long time and it is very stable with my UK Gold version patched to 1.1. Apart from that odd bug i mentioned in my first post above (which may not be due to your mod anyway) - I have not had one single crash or problem with your random maps - so - thanks again. My nephew has also just got into Silent Storm and he is using your mod as well. If you do get the time to play around with the maps - I would love to see some even bigger random map sizes. I love the larger map battles because they really present a challenge for your squad as you get promoted and find better weapons. It would also be great if on the larger maps there was one 'super soldier' enemy or leader who was really strong (like a mini boss) and would need many members of your squad to take him down. I wish i had the patience and skill to make maps but as long as people like you take the time to improve our gaming - I am happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
