Omens: PTMC Vesta Covert Facility
Omens: PTMC Vesta Covert Facility
Omens: PTMC Vesta Covert Facility
So over the the past few weeks I've been putting together a new singleplayer (and multiplayer co-op) level for Descent 3 that will feature new enemies and weapons from OVERLOAD, re-created with permission from Revival Productions. This is something of a combination project that brings back an old level idea with a new set of mods together. Statistically, OMENS is one of the largest Descent 3 levels ever built - if not the largest ever built - but from a physical size perspective it's probably about the 3rd or 4th largest after some of the Outrage levels. To wet your appetite, here are some screenshots:
The level will feature the following:
* A handful of new robots based on OVERLOAD, including several variations of each
* 12 weapons from OVERLOAD
* Two entirely new boss robots
* A custom soundtrack from Jerry Berlongieri and much more!
Omens brings a kind of classic Descent style back into Descent 3 with slow, bulky and tough enemies. It gets pretty hard on the higher difficulties.
I cannot make any promises, but the level is nearly complete and ready to ship, so expect to see it this month!
Edit: Released!
The level is now available!
Grab it at Descent 3 Sector: https://sectorgame.com/d3/downloads/?na ... y&file=880
Or at MODDB: https://www.moddb.com/mods/omens

Wooooooooooooooooow...
& a new Jerry music to go along?
I hope he releases a version for listening too. It's all bound to be good.

Re: Omens: PTMC Vesta Covert Facility
Just to be clear, is the level OMENS, or is it a series of sorts of which PTMC-VCF is a part of?
Whatever I just said, I hope you understood it correctly. Understood what I meant, I mean.

Re: Omens: PTMC Vesta Covert Facility
Potential series, but for now just the one (quite large) level. The mission name is Omens, level is PTMC VCF.

Fair warning: You may need up to 2 hours to play through the entire level, if you want to find everything! Savegames do *not* work.
Currently this level only works with the GOG version of D3. I will work on a fix.

I just tried this and it crashed as soon as I entered CargoBay 3.

Re: Omens: PTMC Vesta Covert Facility
What's your setup, video settings and D3 version?
Need to isolate this issue as I haven't been to reproduce it on multiple systems, but have this reported twice now. The only consistent pattern so far has been with people that don't have the GOG version.
Edit: Got it, seems to be definitely related to old versions of D3. You need the latest GOG version. I will look into fixing this, but may take some time to isolate.

Re: Omens: PTMC Vesta Covert Facility
OK, I think I've found the problem. Download the level again and let me know what happens.

Re: Omens: PTMC Vesta Covert Facility
I have the original version patched to 1.4.
I'm not buying D3 again just for a level. I'll download it again tonight when i get home and try it out.
Thanks

Re: Omens: PTMC Vesta Covert Facility
Based on feedback I've received it would seem the level is too dark. I think this is likely due to my monitors being exceedingly bright, so it didn't seem all that dark to me. I will be increasing the ambient brightness and making a few other small tweaks.
Re: Omens: PTMC Vesta Covert Facility
Ok, the patched version has been uploaded. Download the level again to get the changes.
