Level 8: Jolly Roger... talk about dependable allies, am I right?

A bunch of inhabitants of the Ruins out in the open. You'll find out what they're doing, on release.

This will most likely be the final batch of promotional screenshots prior to wrapping this up.

Looking great! How about a video of that coop session? (Of course, if possible).

Looking forward to playing this :gj: Just had a quick look at some of the weapons and the creatures - all impressive, some surprises there! Also just started reading through the Manual (a must-read) - again well done and nicely tied into the Ureal 'universe'.

In Vegra, I flipped the two switches which I assume would disable the forcefield for the lift but nothing happened so had to ghost through.

Playing in 469b with OldSkool.

The forcefield in that security room in the Vegra section is on a timer. You have to hit the buttons and make it back to the door before the field closes. At least that is how it worked in the beta. It's pretty quick, so use those BT skills to get by the hazards.

It still works that way but the time limit is more generous than in Beta 1 which you've played.

Re: Steele Dawn

Is Steele Dawn intended to be played using a specific player model? I ask because, at the start, I found it impossible to get out of the ventilation duct in the 'hotel' bathroom - try as I might, I could not get through the opening. I'm using the Konoko model (for UT). There appears to be no difference in the collision cylinder for UT or Unreal players but there is a difference in the BaseEyeHeight - no idea if this has an impact or not.

The F3 Grenade Launcher will only fire tarydium biosludge grenades if one picks up that type of ammo (or if one picks up Bio Rifle ammo)? I tried the GL in DM-SD-Town-Winter][ which worked fine apart from not firing biosludge grenades.

Is the CollisionHeight of the Skaarj Praetorian correct at 68? They use the same mesh as the Berserker and have the same DrawScale of 1.2 but the SB's CollisionHeight is 56 (as is that of Steele Dawn's Skaarj Boss which also has a 1.2 DrawScale) - perhaps I'm missing something here (it's just that it seems very difficult to get a headshot on a Praetorian).

Steel Dawn has a unique player model for the protagonist, Brandon. However, I do not believe he has custom collision boxes. Can you post a screenshot of the duct in question?

As for the Praetorian thing, they seemed sized appropriately in 227. They just happen to have a lot of HP.

So I should 'automatically' be using that player model? If it is supposed to happen, then it isn't in 469b with Oldskool - my normal UT player model is being used. Am I supposed to set up my 'player' to use that unique Brandon model?

This is the vent in question - actually the 'issue' applies to both ends of the duct. It's the duct/vent in the bathroom off the starting 'bedroom'.

I wondered because I put a lot of razors into the head of one and normally one gets a fatal headshot pretty quickly on most creatures doing that kind of thing. Looking in the Editor the collision cylinder (with the RadiusVIew on) does seem a bit taller (that is it extends more beyond the head) than for the same sized Berserker - certainly the 68 collision height of the Praetorian compared to the 56 of the Berserker with the same DrawScale and Mesh seems excessive. The original in MHMonsters or UTMHPack (not sure which came first though they are the same, just with different names) has that 68 dimension though.

So, how does one avoid engaging with the Praetorians in the Old Town? It's obviously not viable trying to engage them in combat (given their speed and 2K+ health plus, of course, their huge SightRadius of 8K).

---------------------EDIT---------------------------------------
Another question - What are the differences between 'what happens' in a map at the various difficulty levels? Looking at Old Town in the Editor, I checked DefaultProperties->Filter->bDifficulty0, 1, etc for all pawns, factories, spawnpoints and some pickups and could see no differences - each bDifficulty level for all the things I looked at was set to True. This presumably means that the same pawns, etc appear at each difficulty level?

https://pixeldrain.com/u/MrEgtogq - Day One Patch (treat this as V1a)

Changelog:

* Nali security personnel in Vegra and resistance fighters in River Ruins now received weapons, as they're logically expected to be armed.

This will be the last update for V1. Any further bugs and issues will be fixed at a later date and bump up the version number.
This patch is now included in the NewbiesPlaground mirror archive. Apologies for the inconvenience.

In River Ruins, I'm with the Nali guy "What is a Suduko(?)"? Any tips on how to solve it and how long should it take to solve it?

First off, to the left of the door there's a bunch of hints. It really is a sudoku, just with custom glyphs. One per row, one per column.
