Return To Cydonia Mensae

Description
v1.3 March 2019

We've been here before.

Your landing site is Crusoe Outpost, built by Expedition One's sole survivor Mark Adams. Just a short distance east of here you'll find what's left of the ill-fated Expedition One landing site.

It's time to return to Cydonia Mensae. Acquire the resources needed to establish Crusoe Outpost as the main research and resources base for future missions in this hemisphere. Previous mission manifests indicate a small mining outpost four kilometers south of your position with facilities, resources and hardware that may be helpful to complete your objectives.

PRIORITY: Aquire 3D printer, drill, topsoil extractor, truck, & resource barrels

Difficulty: Advanced Playtime: at least 1 hour 15 mins

The hardcore challenge is to complete all objectives without restart or reload. When all objectives are complete the mission will finish and exit. Good luck commander.

I wanted to join your MP session just now, but it turned me down, you had things set to private.

I have a map in the making, started to build 4 years ago, abanoned the game for other games, now back and somehow thrilled to work on a map that nobody will ever play :)

OMG 9k hrs of TKOM, that's crazy awesome. Cause this game is so awesome! Even today! I take it's bugs for granted. Awesome scenario you made.

The MDV (Mars Descent Vehicle) must be left over from the original scenario. It has no MAV (Mars Ascent Vehicle) so I may alter that and script an ending on take-off. For my personal use only of course

Yes... the scenario is a created from 'Mining Site C-03'. I just played that scenario again and it is ridiculously short, and easy. I made a lot of changes to it.

The scenario only ends when you are 30 ft from the base, with all objectives complete... and yes, it does just fade out.

There is no MDV that I remember... what does MDV stand for again?... to the EAST at the original Manned Campaign landing site, there is much wreckage and many useful items to be found, such as methane... so if any player can't use chemistry to create it with the refinery, there is a supply there.

Was it 'Mining site C-03' by any chance.

I think I spotted an MDV somewhere but haven't been over to investigate yet.

When I get back to 'Crusoe Outpost' with all the gear, a message briefly flashes on-screen saying something like "Complete all tasks to continue". All tasks are ticked off except Return to Crusoe. It disappears pretty quick so not sure on the wording. After that the scenario does not end and I am stumped.

Unless I need to investigate the MDV I think I spotted.

Hi Bladerunner97

The RTCM scenario is based entirely on changing an existing TKOM scenario... I just moved things around, replaced some other items, modified the goals, renamed, and published... was very careful to keep the code clean...

Can you tell which TKOM scenario I started with?

There are some Easter eggs no one has ever found... at least no one has commented :-(

The End: When you finally return to the starting base 'Crusoe Outpost' with your truckload of equipment, the scenario just fades out... no fireworks, but congratulations... I created a RTCM pt2 but had trouble connecting the two scenarios together... the second scenario should start with ALL the items you collected in the back of the truck, and I couldn't easily find a way to do that, so no part 2 :-(

RE-subbed to this today and see you have made some changes. Very interesting I thought. Nice work.

I still have to disable most of my other add-on's but that's no problem. Saving still crashes the game but fortunately it does save, so I can at least load it back in.

All tasks complete except returning to base with the transport truck. Not sure what is supposed to happen after that.

Try this with the Knightsleeper's TKOM rebuild mod.
Gahad  [author] 17 Jul, 2020 @ 5:10am 
Clear your cache, verify the integrity of your TKOM files, disable all other addons and mods, and restart the game... should be fine if TKOM works at all... both the crash on save error and the mod conflict problems have been seen before and discussed in this comment list... please continue to read the comments below for more detailed analysis...

Good ideas... there are many good ideas, but none of us are are the creator...

This version starts off on the ground... it's not supposed to be like that... previous versions of this mod had the capsule landing with you sitting in the right seat (as opposed to the left)... I made a change to accomodate a movie with dialogue and music but I couldn't get the movie to work in the game... uploaded and abandoned in frustration... I may fix it and reupload a new version... thank's for continuing to see value in my work.
