Hi Ben, I also ported the long missing BZToo mod. I am blown away how this was done in 1999 and wanted it preserved.

Hey, Ben, good to hear from you. Glad you like what we did. I did add some intensity to the missions but the AI also fights harder too, in the later version of Battlezone. Ken Miller patched it so the enemies come at you more like they do in Battlezone 2.

Hi Ben, so glad you found it to be good and thanks for making awesome bz1 content. I'm happy we could do it justice in redux. 😎

Hi, this is the guy known as "Existence" in BZ.

Just wanted to say thanks so much to GrizzlyOne and ssuser for your work porting this! ♥ I've now completed LOTG on Redux and it's been a blast. I haven't played this mod for probably twenty years, back on BZ1.4. Most of it was familiar but it's been so long I couldn't remember everything or identify all the changes. I'm sure you have made it more intense (or I have got older and slower at games!). Love the new textures. Whatever you changed I approve. :steamthumbsup:

Great, glad you got it. :)

@GrizzlyOne95 - not sure if you did something or my reloading it a few times did but it worked and I've finished the campaign - good stuff as always
GrizzlyOne95  [author] 12 Jul, 2024 @ 6:32am 
I'll take a look - make sure you aren't loading the mission from archive.

Hey for some reason the campaign seems to end for after 'A Hidden Agenda' (NSDF mission 4) - when I complete the mission I get the ending text but the 'next mission' button is replaced with 'end mission'?

@Ultimo, Thanks for letting me know! I just pushed an update that resolves these issues.

Heyo!

First of all, I've been having a blast with this campaign. The missions are very fun, and while there is room for improvement, I can't complain at all (although the Golem spam gets old after a while).

I've noticed a few things while playing it:
First, there are a few typos in the unit descriptions, objectives, and so on.
Here are two of them if you want to check them out: https://imgur.com/a/w7BGTVH

Also, I encountered a bug on the first CCA mission. I equipped a tank with the Slammer weapon, and the game crashed immediately after firing. If my experience with modding weapons is of any help, that's a problem I usually encountered when the ordnance fired had some errors.

Anyways, I'll keep an eye out for anything else I find. Great job, 10/10 :faithfuego:

I had to redo my Callisto atlas from scratch as I messed it up the first time, it most certainly is a pain in the ass. But I added a nice custom detail map to it as well I think looks great.
ssuser  [author] 27 May, 2024 @ 6:41pm 
Well, yes, with help. But porting some things to redux isn't exactly trivial either. Models, atlases, etc.

Hadley said he was going to port LOTG, I am guessing he maybe did a few missions, hit the models and Callisto part, and quit.
GrizzlyOne95  [author] 27 May, 2024 @ 1:22pm 
To be fair you did the bulk of the work ssuser with updating everything to Lua.
ssuser  [author] 27 May, 2024 @ 10:58am 
G1, all the stuff Hadley fantasized about doing you have actually got done. If he ever comes back here there will be nothing for him to do, LOL
GrizzlyOne95  [author] 27 May, 2024 @ 9:37am 
Thank you, happy to port it.

this mod is really great bro
GrizzlyOne95  [author] 27 May, 2024 @ 7:47am 
Thats right. I'll take a look at those and see if they can be salvaged or not. Itd be nice to have better models to replace those old ones but eh...

Yes, There are Elite Corps Missions.
GrizzlyOne95  [author] 27 May, 2024 @ 2:37am 
I never actually played this one back in the day so I'm enjoying playing it in redux. If there are any other missing mission packs let me know

Yesterday I have predicted that you will port this campain but I didn't think I would see it published as early as today. Very good news.
GrizzlyOne95  [author] 26 May, 2024 @ 3:01pm 
Will do, I found his email and sent him a note and link.
ssuser  [author] 26 May, 2024 @ 11:28am 
You should send Existence a note that his campaign is finally up here. I think he has an account under that name on steam - somewhere.
He said on his site he always meant to port it to Steam someday, but he never did.

Ssuser has a very smoothly coded campaign and didn't have any redux bugs here. Just had to make new models and campaign format/briefings and stuff. Not too bad :)

SO. INSANELY. FAST.
