Twilight's Last
by thunderfoot006

INTRODUCTION

Hello, and thank you for downloading my map. I became interested in making A2 maps because I have pretty much played all the ones which I like that are available. Chief_Chainsaw started the thread about large maps. The more I have play tested the few maps I have made, the more I have come to agree with him and others about large maps being the best maps. This one is kind of a concept map. The lighting in A2 is one of the game's strongest features. There are numerous well done custom ships which take advantage of this through superb lightmaps. So I thought, "Why not make a map where someone can see just how good some of these custom ships really look in the dark?" Total darkness is not good for gameplay, so I tried for lighting effects which simulate evening slightly after sundown.(EENT to the accuracy sticklers out there)

WHAT THIS MOD IS

A patch which contains everything needed to the four player map Twilight's Last. It is set up for multiplayer, I think. but since I have not tested it in Multi, I am unsure.

//***********************************************
WHAT THIS MOD IS NOT

Tested for compatability with either FLOPs or PP 1.2.5. My laptop cannot play FLOPs so I saw no sense in trying to test this map with these. I cannot answer ANY questions concerning this map and FLOPs or PP 1.2.5 because of this. If you want to try this map with FLOPs or PP1.2.5 you do so with the prior understanding I cannot help you with, nor be held accountable or responsible for, any problems which arise from combining or using this map with either of them.

The screenshots are from my personal install which has MU v2.0 installed but I tried very hard to ensure I put nothing into the map which is specific to Yacuzza's brilliant piece of work.

If the above statements mean you now dislike this mod, I am okay with this. I made this map for me in the first place.

//***********************************************
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS

This patch has not been tested for compatability with either PP1.2.5 or FLOPs. My laptop cannot play FLOPs so I saw little sense in checking this. I have Yacuzza s Tactical Assault and Achilles Art of War installed. I haven t yet run across any problems with either of these but I did not really push either install to the limits of the game engine either.

This map has been tested only against Instant Action vs. my laptop. I do not know if it will work in online Multiplayer. I accept no responsibility for your computer, disc, or application.
This mod was checked for viruses and completeness before upload. If it does not work correctly the first time, please go back and read the Installation Instructions. Then install this map again AFTER you read the Installation Instructions.
