This update package is long overdue and i'm sorry for not getting it out there as soon as i could. This update package includes...
Changes/Fixes: A thorough cleaning of Update.pk4 and Update_2.pk4, I removed all of Dafama's custom configuration files so now you get to play Annihilation X at your own settings, not his. I also updated a few monster defs and such as well to make it a little more challenging.
I fixed the Gravity Gun so it is now usable and it now does more damage when you throw stuff and people and when you scramble their intestines!
Annihilation X now gets you the same FPS as you would in regular Doom 3 I have provided screenshots to compaire Doom 3 with Annihilation X with the HD Package performance wise. However, due to new stuff and increased particle usage and whatnot some particles will kill your FPS but it will jump right back up after it is done, takes about, .3 seconds. If you do however have a SUper computer you will be pleased to know that Annihilation X has extra features for you! Read below for more information on that.
I also fixed a little user error on my part by not including an Autoexec.cfg that executes pet_config.cfg so now all the pet commands work and you can change them at your will.
Also I couldn't fix the Sentry bots without them failing hardcore (such as a black skin errors in the script files and a whole mess of other crap) so I just changed their health to 500 so you can kill them at the beginning if you'd like!
The fists...aaaah yes what useless pieces of...well you know, the only thing they were good for in the updates were flares...now however, I have fixed them back to like they were in the original mod however I slowed down the fire time quite a bit as to improve performance in lesser spec machines! So yes, i am thinking of you fans!!! this mod was made for you guys! I took what everyone loved (or most of what I could fit in and the mod be compatible with all of it), and a few of my own ideas, and shoved them into 1 mod :D
The mod runs really smoothly now and doesn't have that many bugs anymore and the best part is as I mentioned above...YOU CAN USE THE GRAVITY GUN! So go have fun kiddies!
Installation: put the Annihilation_x_updates_2.zip into your Annihilation X folder, right click and extract with either winzip or winrar, when it asks you if you want to replace the files you click the shiny YES button and it'll be on it's happy little way to your enjoyment.
Team Readme:
Spunky: Well then, since I had this mod out, and was quite annoyed for sometime at how Dafama included his config files in his PK4's (he always does even in his mods) I'm not looking down on him he's a great great modder, made many a NG mod for Annihilation X but he does need to clean up his files. Anyways I have taken the liberty in releasing this "official" update if you were to call it that since Dafama's NG mods weren't really "official" nor do I know if they will work with this mod or not so anyways at the bottom of this readme I have provided you with 2 links that you will need to have (as this is what I made the updates for anyway) in order to use this mod update for AX!
Right, on to the specs part i promised the fans with super machines that can hack the world in 4 minutes. There is an options to turn lights on for pets so that they light up the area, as well as the zombies and whatnot too! The command resides in pet_config.cfg which you open with wordpad or notepad or whatever you use, change the noLights option to 0 to have them cast lights and the noShadows to 0 to have them cast shadows too. I do play with shadows off so I will include 2 more screenshots of AX and Doom 3 both with shadows on! Also I warn you most of the skins will not work on Ultra Quality, and besides the HD package is better than ultra anyway so just put it on High Quality with whatever resolution you use and be happy! Or i will take your computers and burn them! Jk on that last part. I do what feedback by the way, so comment on this as soon as you feel everything is how you like it and if not, well change your gameplay style but not using whatever you don't wanna use!!! Feedback is the most important thing to me so that I can try to make my mods better from YOUR feedback.
Darth: Well I have been testing this mod and various other mods and tweaks Spunky has made and I must say, with this update package I am VERY pleased with what Spunky has done, not only has he improved performance for lesser spec machines, he's made the mod more fun and enjoyable by fixing the gravity gun and fixing the fists, it is a VERY enjoyable mod now, although I do have some concerns that the Gravity Gun and Fists do a little too much damage but i'm sure it'll be just fine in the end! Hope you guys enjoy the mod I had a blast testing all the fixes and giving my feedback, and what Spunky said about making the mod for the fans, he's right. Let me put it to you this way, lots of people love having the flashlights on guns you know, and some people don't, so by adding the toggle to it, you can either use it, or not, same with the pets and everything else, it's there for YOU to use whenever YOU want to use it!!! Everyone loves having a choice, when you're forced to do something it's really dumb and it makes you angry so I do really hope you guys enjoy this mod!
Performance notes:
This mod will work on Medium to high spec machines, the HD package i'm not terribly sure about medium Quality or low quality, but everything else still works, just not the graphics. The mod was designed to work on 6600GT graphics cards and higher on High Quality with prefferably no shadows and no Anti-Aliasing but today's computers will run it no sweat! I run on the Doom 3 Time Demo on regular Doom 3 around 176FPS, on Annihilation X, same settings AND with the Hd package, I either get 175, 176, or 177 FPS so the average is about the same for you guys, now on particle effects I know that it's not really the same thing then or with the flashlight and stuff but I tried to do the best I could performance wise with this mod and I hope it's enough to please you guys!!!
