FEAR Map: MXT JPN3K

This is a map inspired in JPNCTF, but It was made to fix the unfair possition of the bases: 1 is up and the other is down. In MXTJPN3K both bases are mirrored.

Some people have complained about this map being too complex, this is not true, but is not a just_go_ahead map, It’s curved and both bases are close to each other, but you can’t take the short path to get there.

Anyway If you feel like bitching about how complex the map is, here is a map:

 

FEAR Multilanguage Progress 2012/11/06

Little progress today. Spent most of the time trying to force the German updater to install but that didn’t work at all. The creators made each language use a hexadecimal code for each language, but only tested 2 and couldn’t find a pattern. Tomorrow will continue to extract all other languages and check the hexadecimal code of the existing installers so I can figure out the german one.

Again If someone has FEAR or FEAR Combat installed in German I’d love to get: 5 files from your game, or 2 values from your Registry.

Meanwhile I got Italian files today, idk why I don’t have all of them, looks like the files I already had for most languages were in the Virtual machine I lost in the Hard Disk disaster some months ago :/

There’s a chance tomorrow I work in the language switch in the Launcher. Shouldn’t take that much time, I only wanted some more language files.

German Language Missing.

In today news, I still can’t get the german installer for FEAR or FEAR Combat.

but I think I can trick the 1.08 updater to install on top of the english version with some registry hacks.

Will try tomorrow. For now I reinstalled the VM to extract the language packs. I hope I can have more time to work on this.

Server List is almost complete, only needs some visual tweaks.

Will work more on this tomorrow 🙂

New FEAR Combat Launcher update (2012-11-01)

Updates today:

  • Read/write of the CDKey works 100% now (Doesn’t need admin rights)
  • If the key.ini file doesn’t exist, It’s created automatically.
  • If the path to the key.ini file doesn’t exists, It creates It automatically.
  • If no key is found, It asks for It.
  • Shows loading message to let user know It’s working.
  • home/multiplayer/profile sections are complete.

What’s missing: (más…)

New FEAR Combat Launcher coming soon

I started working on It, this time It’s a Win32 exe, so It will have all the required features we couldn’t Implement in the existing one.

The features we will include are:

  • AutoUpdate.
  • Advanced Configuration tool.
  • Working Language switcher.
  • Better CDKey update tool.
  • Improved server list with filter and arrange features.
  • Working (again) News section.
  • Working FEAR-Community profile linking.
  • Run Game as Administrator (Implemented).

What is already implemented? Well, nothing. But I know how to implement everything, only need time ( yeah, that’s the bad news ). I hope we can release this for 2013/01/01, but who knows.

Update:

Already implemented some of the features.  Most of the old functionality already works, except for the CDKey update, will work on that later!

Fix for CD-Key Verification Failed.

Today I finally tested the FEAR Steam version and find out It works for multiplayer!

All you need is a Valid Multiplayer key, like the ones you can get in fear-combat.org

Also you need to create the key.ini manually, but that’s easy.

Instructions here: http://fear-community.org/help/help-cd-key-verification-failed/

I guess I don’t need to say how good this is, basically all steam FEAR players can play online ^_^
