Hello i have problem with the music with this. I have installed both campaign and the installer but levels seem to use normal hotline miami 2 music instead of custom music

The auto installer is a unique idea to get newcomers to use custom music mods, though I think replacing the wad files shouldn't be too hard either.
Basically what the others said, it has its flaws.

One thing I'd like to point out are the weapon sprites. In the first two/three levels I was confused wherether I was shot by a mendoza or shotgunner. You should make the Mendoza and Shotgun look more different as it was hard for me to tell which one was holding what.

Another thing that also bugs me a little are the different music volumes. Sometimes the song is too loud, sometimes too queit. Now I know it's not a cakewalk to optimize it perfectly (especially when using audacity), but at least try to make the music volume constant.

Now that said, it's not a bad campaign and I hope you learn from your mistakes and use your knowledge for good.

Also, "I only drink space beer" . No for real, when I saw the title I thought you were making a meme campaign.

Hi i can't find 'bright red by sinful owls' anywhere, do you guys have a link for that song please?
Meeghaard  [author] 30 Nov, 2019 @ 11:46am 
@Yossarian The Assyarian, cause there's a problem with patchwad's in game engine. We make custom files, there's no way to make them smaller.
Demon_Aleks 30 Nov, 2019 @ 11:45am 
My folder with dozens of sprites doesn't even have 50 MB and that campaign have 148 MB. Damn. Otherwise that's a great campaign, I really enjoyed playing it
Yossarian the Assyrian 30 Nov, 2019 @ 11:23am 
Why is this campaign 148 megabytes? Most campaigns don't go above 10, let alone 20.

Theres nothing wrong with the level designs or the sprites but the story is shit doesnt make any sense and some broken english...
Toxic Coffee 29 Nov, 2019 @ 11:03pm 
Alright thanks, I made it for a collaboration project that unfortunately was never released, so it's good that it is getting some use.
Meeghaard  [author] 29 Nov, 2019 @ 10:28pm 
Hey, @Toxic Coffee, about a year ago, i told a group of developers about “The Cold One” on some of the Hotline Miami Discord servers. Someone advice me to use and dropped the link in chat.
I add you in credits.

After a good chunk of time has passed since we've got the opportunity to play a long campaign, this serves as a wake-up call for the workshop. While I did enjoy playing the campaign as a whole, several things should be considered.

While the level design is competent for the most part (there are some neat little layouts on a few floors), the overuse of Fats in some sections made gameplay tedious. In terms of the writing, the translation is a bit broken and while I understand that English is not your first language, a bit more refinement is needed. It also doesn't help when the dialogue goes whirling on the side of the screen either which is very frustrating. As for the story, it's feels very much like Hunter: Snowfall say in a new location and new characters, which feels very repetitive by this point.

You should focus on these things so that whatever your next project is would be a positive improvement.
Toxic Coffee 29 Nov, 2019 @ 6:05pm 
Hello. I noticed while playing this that the sprite used for falling snow seemed oddly familiar; looking at the effects.png sheet from the patchWAD, I've noticed that it actually is a mod of mine that I made back in August of 2018. Just the effects sheet only, I'm hoping to get a credit for it, and that you could tell me who lent you this mod, which will be a great deal of help. Thanks

@REX_MK-IV, thanks for comment!
Get you what you saying. We create so much content for this universe, thats already create own Wikia (russian language only, sorry) [the-cold-one.fandom.com]. But our plans has changed, when we understand, how little free space in editor we have. Like, intro level has about 8 floors and after last edits, we just can’t open it without errors. Game editor just can’t let us in! MiamiRiever told me, how many problems with game and editor there was. Sad, that’s Dannaton Games now just stop all support of the game.

if we get a chance to make standalone, remake will be a much better.
For now, our plans to:
- have a rest (that was a crunch hell for 1,5 years)
- make notes for second episode
- speaking with audience

The story is kida rushed, and very simple. And that is the only con. Setting is great, music always fits, levels are correctly designed and those custom sprites are good. 8/10 for me
Nuca de Dolj 29 Nov, 2019 @ 11:03am 
my main 2 problems with the story are the pacing and the blandness of the characters. Everything happens way to fast and the characters have no substance, therefore giving the feeling they are simply there to point you to the next killroom.
on the other hand i enjoy the setting, russian mobs in japan is kinda uique
Meeghaard  [author] 29 Nov, 2019 @ 10:40am 
@REX_MK-IV, be more specific, please.
Nuca de Dolj 29 Nov, 2019 @ 9:49am 
levels are solid but story is pure trash
Blue 29 Nov, 2019 @ 9:22am 
Many thanks for publishing that stuff from the installer separately, it's really appreciated!!!
Meeghaard  [author] 29 Nov, 2019 @ 8:41am 
Beware, we already publish wad links, just look at description
Sic Boy 29 Nov, 2019 @ 8:01am 
Oh god please do that... the auto instaler is an awful idea

@W1ZSAM Троюродный племянник по казахской линии.
Meeghaard  [author] 29 Nov, 2019 @ 7:20am 
@BlueDoc, ok, got you. But our wad's still have same weight.
We make another link, just with files.
W1ZSAM 29 Nov, 2019 @ 7:16am 
ты брат кодзимы или че
Blue 29 Nov, 2019 @ 7:09am 
I really don't like the idea of using an auto-installer, especially when the base campaign itself is 148 MBs big.
Meeghaard  [author] 29 Nov, 2019 @ 7:03am 
@BlueDoc That is possible, but our installer much easy in use. You don't need to find and replace files, making a backup, cause our *.exe already make it.
Finally, why not?
Blue 29 Nov, 2019 @ 6:58am 
Would it be possible to get a link just for the music wad and other mods from that .exe?
Meeghaard  [author] 29 Nov, 2019 @ 6:51am 
@BlueDoc Ah, I just didn’t translate it that way. Well, it seemed to us that it would be more convenient for players + as a certain feature.

@BlueDoc So they could mine those sweet bitcoins of you
Baka!

I said why, not where
Meeghaard  [author] 29 Nov, 2019 @ 6:26am 
Blue 29 Nov, 2019 @ 6:22am 
why is there a auto-installer
「Neetralius™」 29 Nov, 2019 @ 6:13am 
Один из лучших лвл дазсайнов
Хороший сюжет (хоть концовка немного хуже завязки)
8 из 10 Не достаточно снега
А вообще последнее время качество компаний хотлайна стала превосходить даже оригинальную игру и я надеюсь что этот момент не закончится так же быстро как он начался

Meeghaard  [author] 29 Nov, 2019 @ 5:18am 
Please, don’t forget to instal textures and music via autoinstaller. Links in description!
