I still didn't play it :')
But I will make sure tmw I do and we'll see how far will I go
Morris
Morris
out of curiosity
What is this next project of yours "Eyes of Amber'?

Morris
ohhh you meant that
No I've passed the maze level after three long hours :') and I don't know if I played the revived version or not
Is it different from the original or just few fixes?
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
I don't know. The only one I've played was the revived version :)
Besides that campaign is so easy you can only play with your godlike hero.
Morris
Morris
That's right
the only level that has some challenge is where you have to defend the shrine or temple from waves b building towers errywhere
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
Yeah, but that level is flawed. You run out of lumber and can't do anything about it.

If you decide to play my SC campaign, use poweroverwhelming on the levels you think you can't pass to avoid story loss.
I'm really getting rusty. I used to beat all levels almost with eyes closed but now...
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
I'd like you to try and beat the levels where you have a base to control. I' having most problems with those :| Just can't seem to wake my reflexes in time.

controlling just one unit in starcraft is a bit hard because it doesn't have a regeneration ability I'm now at Underdust 2 - mission 4 or 5 I think-
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
There are two Underdust missions: one is the second and the other one is the fourth mission, yeah.
You have to scout first to then be able to act without losing too much life. Yeah, in the update I've made Button regain full energy after blowing up a Command Center. Sorry :)
Morris
Morris
Playing with only Button is a pain in the ass
missions 2 & 3 gave me hell
mission 2 where I have to not kill anyone and 3 where I got blinded by the fucking medic at the start and had to load lot of times to redo my progress, the corridor filled with gun turrets gave me hell
If you increase Button's energy it'll be better
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
That level is easy once you get to know the "details". Level 3 (installation tileset): just ignore the traps and run through them. Get to the west and you'll find a medic that you can use (rescuable unit). Later you'll find another one. Anyways, keep at least one medic alive to counter Optical Flare with Restoration and heal your wounds.
Also, in later levels, Button's energy recharges to full once in ten seconds.
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
The editor doesn't let me increase or decrease the energy capacity.

Level 2 is a bit annoying, yes but I wanted it to feel like you are actually invisible to everyone to avoid alerting the Dominion of Button's presence until it was too late.
I guess the fourth was OK? The one where you return from the underground base (Underdust Business 2), I mean.
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
Also, Button has a long range. You can shoot low HP units and run and shoot them again and so on without them hitting you.

I passed level 4 but an error occurred
Level 5 doesn't exist!
Even when I re-downloaded the campaign it's still missing
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
In the archive? Did you search the folder for it? The levels are numbered with Roman numbers: I, II, III, IV, V etc.
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
You can access each level separately in the game by going in the folder named Reincarnation (in case you didn't change its name or copied the maps in another folder).
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
Checked the archive (downloaded it from the Hive) and map 5 is there. It's called: (V)Fleshy Transaction.
Morris
Morris
ohh damn that was stupid of me
the files are sorted up wrong
I jumped straight to level 9 without checking it's number
