Original Campaigns in Overload?

Post by homeyduh »

I highly doubt that there isn't anyone working on a port of the original campaigns for Overload. Any idea who might have that and the status of it? I would love to play the main campaigns from D1 and D2 (maybe even D3) in Overload :)

If you search on the Overload Discord channel, you'll find that there are some pretty good ported versions of D1 levels (levels 1,2 & 6), but they are the only ones available as far as I know.
Sadly, there are no other classic D1/D2 campaign levels on there (or at least not that I'm aware of) :(

Yeah, I haven't heard of it. I figure it'll probably still happen eventually, but one of the problems is it isn't a straightforward port - you have to redo a whole bunch of stuff because Overload has different textures, different weapons, different robots, and a different trigger system. Especially once you get to D2 - anything that relies on opening walls or guided missile puzzles will have to be changed.
