______________________________________________________________________________ "Baak's Anywhere Solo Pak" - Pluginized/Extensive Mods by Baak (OoH) Last Updated: 2008-04-19 - v0.2 Original Plugin/Conversion Authors: "Alien Dark Tide (ADT)" by Strangelet (TMBM) "Marathon" by Bungie / "Somewhere in the Heavens" by Astro tSD et al "MythWarrior" by Rohan (MoR) "The Wild West" by Bar 7 "Worlds Collide" by Cydonian Dedicated to: The Members and Special Guests of the OoH (Order of H'Pak) My wife, Linda The creators of all the original incredible conversions Myth Players everywhere System Requirements: Requires Project Magma's Myth II Patch 1.6 Build 290 (or greater) to play: http://tain.totalcodex.net/mythii *** The very latest Anywhere Series Manual will be located here: *** http://www.orderofhpak.com/Manuals/Anywhere/_BaaksAnywhereSeries_Readme.html *** Long Live Myth! *** ______________________________________________________________________________ WHAT IS IT? ----------- By request I've created five sets of plugins to allow you to play some of Myth II's best conversions in solo games "vs Myth" (against standard Myth units) and "vs Same" (against converted units). In many cases you will have overwhelming superiority, which has the advantage of excellent stress relief (heh) and an opportunity to challenge yourself in other ways. For example, how fast can you play a given level? But beware: you can easily shoot yourself in the foot with superior firepower and suddenly discover you are being overwhelmed! It is also EXCELLENT for practicing with units from the various conversions. My MythWarrior game is now MUCH better. ... that is when playing against the standard Myth units. When playing against converted units you will almost always be outnumbered - sometimes hopelessly - but on those games I've given your units extra sk33lz and/or ammo to help you survive. Good luck! Note that none of the original solo levels have been changed to accomodate for these plugins, although I did adjust some of your own units to give you more ammo, etc. You should also be able to play on Project Magma's excellent "The Fallen Levels" (TFL Solos), although I know of two maps that currently have problems with scripting: Homecoming and Out of the Barrier (at the end). In addition, Shiver doesn't seem to end properly, although the rest of the level was very fun using MythWarrior. I don't currently have plans to "fix" any of these quirks, as it involves a LOT of work - there are other higher-priority projects in the queue. However, please give any feedback on quirks you discover on the OoH Feedback Forums, being sure to include all details (plugin and version number, solo map, what happened under what circumstances, etc.). I intentionally started the version number off at 0.1 to allow for future updates. So far I am collecting solo maps we enjoy playing - and which can be converted without too much hassle. I'm open to requests. TO PLAY: -------- Just add the plugin on top of whatever solo map you are playing: To Play vs Myth use: ~Solo- awXX To Play vs Same (i.e. against converted units) use: ~Solo+ awXX Think of the "+" as "tougher" and it will be easier to remember. I hope you enjoy these plugins - I've had a lot of fun with them! :) Please comment (and report any bugs with details) on the OoH Forums. Enjoy! ~Baak ______________________________________________________________________________ Versions: 2007-05-14 v0.1 - Initial Release 2008-04-19 v0.2 - Added "vs Same" and a ton of enhancements (from my work on the Anywhere Multiplayer Pak) - Added Marathon AW to the set - SWEET! ______________________________________________________________________________ LEGAL STUFF AND EULA * This unaltered readme file must be included with the plugin at all times. * This plugin is freeware and comes with no warranty whatsoever.
