This is a a discussion topic for the map "Ground Zero (MOD)" by Necromancer which can be found here Map description: You start with you just simply doing your job at the launch site, but today you have a special shuttle launch and things start to fall apart. Are you fearless enough and brave enough to conquer the terrors and enemy forces that face you? This is a mod for Opposing Force. This is my first modding project so I hope it turns out well. This mod will consist of an entire series of maps in a campaign. Map screenshots: Screenshots for: Ground Zero (MOD)

Not sure when it will be released but progress has been going rather quickly though. I currently have about 7 maps (2 of which are continuations of the prior map). I'm not sure how many maps there will be, but the more the better though.
The first 5 map names are:
1) Ground Zero
2) Containment Protocol
3) It Got Worse (as seen in one of the screenshots, please note that some screenshots may be a little different in the final version gameplay)
4) Ground Zero East
5) The Lurking Things [my personal favorite map name]

You will have to wait for the others. I hope you will like it!
Please let me know what you think about this and the screenshots. Any feedback would be great.
Just letting you know that the textures have changed a little in the first screenshot.

Update:
I have a demo ready but I am having difficulty posting it. I go to the edit screen for my map and I put the zip file in the map slot and click submit. But for some reason the file does not actually submit. I'll try again later.
Does anhone have any idea why it won't submit?

UPDATE:
The demo has been successfully uploaded. The demo contains one level from the Ground Zero Campaign. The level is: It Got Worse (The third level in the campaign). I hope you enjoy the demo and are looking forward to the final product. The demo is relatively short, but that is the point. Enjoy.

I'll try to keep everyone posted about future details and progress. I'm expecting that it will probably be a while for the final version, only because I want to have a quality product. Enjoy!

UPDATE:
Progress is coming along well. It is probably going to be a while until the final version will be released though. After play testing through finish to end so far I would estimate that it may take first time players of the mod about an hour to finish. Depending on skill. I made all of the levels and playtested each one numerous times and it has been taking me about 45 minutes to complete right now. (Which is SIGNIFICANTLY longer than my single map levels.

If you have downloaded and played the demo please let me know what you think so far. I would like to have some feedback to know how I'm doing, and to give myself some idea of how I am progressing from the mapping community. Thanks.

Progress is currently on hold a little now because I am in the process of transferring to a different computer and I am having problems getting it operational. If you would like to be of assistance than visit the editing forum. Here is the link:

The issue about my mod not working has been resolved and progress has resumed.

Progress is coming along excellently! I am currently working on the ninth different level. (One of those is the new hazard course) If you count every single level (counting multiple parts of some of the larger levels) then there are 13 maps in total. And there are going to be more before it is finished. Progress will probably slow down some since my classes start again on Monday.

The actual campaign is complete now. I just have a few alterations and fixes to do to it and I need to finish the new hazard course level.

I will try to finish the mod completely and post it for everyone, hopefully by the end of the weekend, at very most by the end of the next week. I only need to add some minor things, such as more health, to the campaign and complete the new hazard course level, which I will try to wrap up soon. I will also need to include a walkthrough for a couple parts, just in case anyone gets stuck. Nothing too difficult but may be things that can be overlooked, as I discovered during a playtest by someone other than me. Unfortunately playtesting has been low, so expect some potential issues. I only had one other person playtest it (my brother) this is because no one else in my family plays videogames. I can create improved versions of it in the future if I get enough feedback about potential things to change.

I think you will all enjoy it. But it is relatively difficult, but I will compensate by adding more ammo and health before the release. Thanks for watching and I hope you will all enjoy it! Let me know what you think!

That would be great. I am working on it especially hard right now and is almost finished. After I post it here I would love to have your feedback about it, and I may release an improved version if I hear enough additional things that I could change/improve.

It will be a little bit longer yet but I will try hard to get it posted by the end of the new weekend. I'm even closer now. Just need to write a tutorial for the last 3 levels, just in case anyone would want it. smiley

Final to do list:
finish tutorial
finish new hazard course
gather all game files

Thanks for staying interested!
