White Dwarf 201, Duty and Honor + 3rd Edition Tiles

[the.unseen]

alien assault is the best tactical turn based game i played since x-com! the editor is also excellent and easy to use even for a newbie like me.

i found and converted some missions for use with alien assault.
included with the file are tiles from 3rd edition that was resized and slightly modified.

++ i did not scan the tiles or write the mission briefings, credit goes to the original authors ++


thank you, hope you like it

I'd love to download this right away, but I'm a bit concerned whether my computer can take it. As it is, the game already works a bit slow for me.

Can you help?

Zamael: What lightmap settings are you running? Have you tried to disable "lightmap based on LOS", maybe go down to low resolution on the lightmap and increase animation speed on the marines?

[Zamael]

I've reduced the lightmap settings a bit, and increased the animation speed. I might have to do so further: this thing looks too cool to not be used.

Edit: Also, any way I could convert those tiles to be used for the rest of the game?

And it'd appear I'm playing as Ultramarines here. So I'm going to need some Ultramarine custom squads. Can anyone provide?

im glad people are using the map.

i must admit i havent thought about the game slowing down when using other tiles, i hope it works for everybody. as for making the tiles available for other use, i named them specifically not to overwrite the default ones. il see if i can rename everything and share it with everyone sometime in the future.


some people might also like the attached language.txt, filled with warhammer quotes like "Begin the Litanies of Hatred" ;"The hivemind have blinded our sensors", etc.

I took your tiles and made them compatible with rest of the SH campaigns.

Just plug them in tilesets folder or use Generic mod enabler.

this is cool.
im actually still trying to align, resize, and modify oddly shaped tiles for use with alien assault. i dont have time to test them ingame since im busy with the map editor. maybe you could try it out.


this is the latest version so far :

Just found the time to play through this one. While I most definitely do not like missions without map, and least of all missions without scanner, this campaign posed quite a challenge.

Good job!
