@King Friday you must not realize this is a mission, GBD makes only good mods so calling this trash because you don't understand the mod system is wild.

It is an Instant Action map. Those are not mods you toggle on/off, maps are always on if subscribed.

To get to Instant Action: Go to Single Player, click Instant Action in bottom right. Select "Advanced Combat Training" and hit Launch.

I subscribed and it doesn't even show up in the "Mods" section of Menu.
This mod, like most are trash.

Go to the Instant Action menu in-game, it should appear in the map list.

i call bullshit on the drone exercises, they can land shot after shot on you and its near impossible to dodge with the tank physics. you tap to strafe right and the active delay means you basically float into their shots, you turn around to try and grab health and they can just blow up your ship while you are doing so

Go to Single Player menu, and then the Instant Action button in bottom right.

I subscribed to the mod, but it's not showing in the list in the game? What am I doing wrong here?

That was fun, Luckily I saved the game when the easter egg happend. (Then it crashed after I saved it.) But now I've finished it and it was pretty good! I'd give it a 10/10!

@The JLT: Congrats, you found bug :). Fixed, I think. Guess you get to try to trigger the egg again. (launcing with /console will help with that)

Excellent training exercize!
The JLT 20 Jul, 2017 @ 6:06pm 
I think I found the easter egg. "In coming bogeys."

Neat map, good job on this.

Yep, works great now. Thanks, Excellent mod

Whoops, accidentally forgot to switch back from testing mode from my previous changes.

Sorry, all fixed now.

Maybe its my ignorance but I dont get the first two exercises. I get "Hop into a tank to get started " audio and then no further instructions. My Objectives right from the start (before I get into a tank) are "Go to nav 3" and "You landed 0 out of 0 shots" (which is yellow). If I go to the nav 1 or 2 from here nothing happens but if I go to nav 3 then the dodging exercise starts and then exercise 4 (multiple waves of scouts) and then the mission ends. Am I doing something wrong?
GenBlackDragon  [author] 19 Oct, 2016 @ 8:04pm 
No, neither of those are the easter egg. Though you will discover it when you get to Exercise 4, if it triggers.

I'll look into fixing that nav exploit (maybe i'll make all your other navs fly too :P) and the save game, probably not restoring WeaponMask properly on a Save/Load.

Love the "spontaneous" combustion, and I nearly lost it when I heard Commander Shaw's reaction to the missing drones! xD

I noticed that exercise 2 always seems to say I hit two shots less than I actually did. For instance, I'll fire 34 shots and hit every one of them but it will say I only hit 32. Perhaps the last shots on each drone aren't being recorded as hits?
Also, if I load a save, the first three waves of drones in exercise 4 will have dual AT-Stabbers rather than one.

I found a way to cheese exercise 3: put a nav beacon in front of the turret! All twenty shots will hit the nav instead of you, so the mission counts every shot as being dodged . :3

As for the easter egg, I'm not sure if this is it, but could it be that going to the drone army to the south-west causes them to attack you all at once during exercise 4 ?

Easter egg spoiler?
Is it where you blow the recycler up with the drones?

Loved it! Voice acting was spot on! :) Keep up the great work.:steamhappy:

I've been playing battlezone for over a decade, and I still learned. The curve does an excellent job of both teaching and enhancing dogfighting skills. The simple explainations will be helpful even the newest player. Really well done!
GenBlackDragon  [author] 26 Jul, 2016 @ 8:23am 
You can go to Steam/Steamapps/Common/Battlezone 98 Redux/Saves and zip up some of the old ones for saving them, and make 10 new ones.

@The JLT
Well, rip one of my saves. They're all full.
GenBlackDragon  [author] 26 Jul, 2016 @ 7:45am 
If you repeat it enough times from beginning, you may encounter an easter egg on the last excercise.
The JLT 26 Jul, 2016 @ 7:14am 
Save when you get to the last check point to start from there.
WanderSeth 26 Jul, 2016 @ 2:58am 
Really good map, helps me out significantly. Is it possible to change it to where you can make more tanks and/or do the exercises repeatedly, or in a different order? I'd like to be able to go straight to the last objective, or have it reset once I activate some trigger or something, ending only when I leave.
But regardless, beggars can't be choosers, and I still love this map.

The white screen at end is a BZR bug that probably happens to all Lua based IA missions, will be fixed next patch.

Fixed bringing multiple tanks to the first excercise. (Using anything other then AT Stabber throws off shot calculations)
The JLT 25 Jul, 2016 @ 4:43pm 
(v plz fix that bug)
The JLT 25 Jul, 2016 @ 4:41pm 
If you've played it, and you have a laggy computer, you may want to take an extra tank along with you to the first exersize. Then, when the checkpoint sets the stats on your tank, hop out into the one you brought along, you'll have the mortar...........ez splash damnage.

At the end the end mission pictures is white
Bug fix?

Goodest

An excellent map to practice your dogfighting skills on, I cannot recommend this highly enough!

This mission is absolutely amazing!
