Combo-Mod v3 ready!
BlackAlmaz have now completed the third version of the Combo-Mod with the help of Aralez. Besides bugfixes, there are new weapons, enemies, textures and icons. Take a look at the very stylish Ethereal (you may recognize this one) below: ![]() The mod is about 27 MB, and you can download it from our mods section. More information can be found here. Chronicles of the Interregnum, Part II: Accounting troll have finished another part in his amazing fan-fiction! This part covers the years 2032-2053, and should be a good tension builder for Aftershock. If you missed the first part, you can find it here detailing the years 2005-2032. And if you like what you read, more fan-fiction can be found in the fan-fiction forum, as well as in our fan-fiction section. Feedback is encouraged! More information about Aftershock? If you feel that the information you've had about Aftershock in various interviews just isn't enough, take a look at the official forum. Martin Klima of ALTAR sometimes answers question about the game there, and you can find all his replies here. It makes for some interesting reading! -------------------- |

Cough, cough, Fulby made the raiders, i only "pasted" them in. So the tribute shoud go to him.
And the new face looks perfect for them! Gee. BA, maybe you should open a "wishes and suggestions" thread for the next Combomod? |

Well BlackAlmaz, just be sure to get everything you want included into the next version to Aralez and then Aralez can splice something together while you are gone.
I think you guys did a great job. I still would have liked to have seen BlackAlmaz's aliens and predators in motion if he had them far enough along to have something in motion. Also, I though TYR had zat and staff weapons ready from the Stargate mod that sounded interesting. Oh well, ComboMod3 is quite nice as it is, too. So, whatever happens will happen. I don't know how many people will get far enough into a ComboMod3 game for them to want the next version to be able to use the 3.0 version saved games instead of having to start a new game? That's another thing to consider when making a new version. I don't know if ComboMod3 was able to safely play games created and saved by ComboMod 2, for example, but I personally didn't get into version 2 far enough for it to matter, but I don't know about the rest of you. I can say that it is nice to see all the hard work finally making it into something that we can play and see in motion. Kudos!! |

Aralez!!
I guess that it's just you and I bumping into each other. All the other members have gone to work or gone to bed. I'm going to go eat and call it quits as well. Been nice talking with you. And, thank you for everything!! And . . . Thank you BlackAlmaz and Fulby!! |

Okay, I just finished three missions against the Faceless Ones. They must be Air Elementals in military garb, or their momma hasn't been feeding them. These are not SpecOps, they are something different.
That's a cute little bug in ComboMod3. These human enemies were not the nice dark green enemy that Fulby created either, their clothes have been bleached along with their skin. Ha ha. Skin bleached so much that it's now invisible or transparent. |

a new i dea for an enmy just hit my mind..it will eather be one assin or a small group of them...using weapons that we will never be able to control
hehe they will be sweet working on a assin sniper now....they will be the elite smaller group of spec ops 1-4 soldiers a map only..belive me thats all they nead they will have evrything silanced i have created a way to make silanced weapons actually work when you shoot the target they dont see you...and the same hapens to you..you get heart but you dont know where from reason i might make more than one is that some maps are just to big to have one assasin and one more thing is there any way to make humans attack our base..not justb greys? kret and fulby that one is for you -------------------- "THERE AT THE BERACADES!!!....THERE IN THE PERIMETER!?.....THERE IN THIS ROOM!?"

Simply add them as reticulans in the listofenemy.txt and "explain" to the game that they are reticulans. Should work.
Lurker, the faces aren't transparent, they are not there! The human raiders were developed when there was no model editor available, so Fulby did the best he could at that time. That's why BA showed the future model of the face in the post above. And, that green enemy was MY creation BA, the Browning was supposed to be silenced, too. Did you use that way to produce silenced weapons? And keep in mind that an invisible alien with silenced weapons will bring complaints of users. I already can see the threads: "ComboMod bugged? My entire crew died and there was no enemy in sight...." |
