OriginZ 1.04.5e

[deepstrasz]

Is there an original author before you made this version? If so, please provide permission for editing and uploading. For instance there are some other two authors who don't have HIVE accounts so I don't know who they are.
Also, the concept seems quite similar to Codename: Askellon and others before it. MineralZ had that Vampirism base building stuff.

 

[maddeem]

No, I am the original author. I've been working on it from scratch since 2019. Link (Before Askellon )
It is semi open source so I have taken several contributions from community players. It was never officially open source but I was inactive for a while and so several community members were updating it. Recently, TheFace93 has been doing balance, modeling and moderate gameplay tweaks so I took him on as a co-author.

It definitely follows in the footsteps of maps like metastasis and these maps follow the who-dun it murder RPG genre. A lot of inspiration was taken from Parasite (A StarCraft 2 mod).

We have a very active community on discord if you want to pop in for a game or two: Discord

 

[deepstrasz]

OK. Removed some of the map tags since they are not quite fitting. For instance, Role Playing Game, you expect something like Diablo, a dungeon crawler. Tag/Vampirism, you think of Tree Tag or Vampirism type map, so on.
If you don't think it's OK, you can explain why and put them back.

[deepstrasz]

Seems like a solid map. The bad dude might be a bit too powerful later.

Approved.

Big Update

1.04.1 - Balance and Bug Fixes
Whats New:

• New Roach talent: Swarm Resilience - Increases the health, and armor of all infected minions and tumors. Allows the tanky corpse feeders to spawn from creep tumors
• New Minion: Corpse Feeder - Low health, high armor with Chitinous Plating, deals low damage
• Security and CSO roles now gain credits from killing infested minions
• Vessels can now attack and use abilities while docked (with a very slow turn speed, giving you time to react)
• New Interfector talent: Iron Will - Infected non-minions can no longer be targeted by turrets
• Talents can no longer be researched if they are locked behind a mutation, until you actually complete the mutation.
• Talent tree visual rework
• New Mormur talent: Infested Systems - Allows you to take control of the ship control console (but not the ship itself) and have vision of the ship cameras at all time. This effectively allows you to target players with the ship turrets, enable gas or use the lockdown.
• Minor terrain updates
• Revamped the visuals of the ship
• All previous verion changes incorperated into a stable version.
• Loading performance, especially at the start of the game should be improved.
• Asteroids are no longer periodically looped through for collision events. Big performance gain here.
• Several other performance improvements, like destructable culling.
• Added grates, located in vents. Only humans and low tier aliens can enter grates because larger entities don't fit (like mechs). Grates take you to specific locations in the ship and every grate takes you to the same place. The place the grates take you gets updated about every 10 seconds, but this time is slightly extended if a grate is used, allowing for pursuit. Using a grate deals massive damage and slows you significantly for 8 seconds. Being in alien form or having repulsar boots equiped reduce the damage and the slow.
• Infected CEO no longer increases mech drain, instead increases infected damage against piloted mechs by 25% per level of the mechanoids upgrade that are completed.
• Players who have played 50 or more games can opt in or opt out of becoming an officer. The seniority system was removed and everyone who opts in has an equally random chance of getting roles.
• Cull Spawn. Host menu gained a new ability which can cull any spawn, unlimited range.
• Screen flashes red when your crew member takes damage.
• Your camera will no longer pan away from the evolutions menu when you take damage.
• Targeting and bounty list are now ordered by rank not slot position, making meta gaming more difficult
• Mormur soft mutes the mimic target. Soft muted players do not know they are muted, but their chat messages will only appear locally. Even the effect/sound is played locally.
• Mormur always talks in chat as a crew member
• Human scans will reveal the Mormur host, but will ping to a random (not visible) location on the ship. (These two updates are to delay crew members detecting the mormur)
• Shields now have a visible effect when you take damage

Balance:

• The main ship hit points reduced 20,000 -> 12000, armor reduced from 20 -> 5, health regen increased 1.0 -> 2.0
• Explosive Barrels damage increased from 75 -> 200
• Mutations are no longer time locked
• Queen movement speed reduced from 310 to 290
• Pursuit of madness evolution cost increment changed from 60 to 30. This talent now also applies a damage upgrade to the infected non-minions.
• Minions can no longer target defense systems at all
• Minions now target all placeable objects
• Fetralisks can now target more structures
• Containment pens health reduced to 750, allowing one bunker buster to break them
• Gravity Leash price reduced from 1000 to 500 credits
• Punch damage 20 -> 15
• Punch stun duration .25 -> .15
• Queen auto attack damage 125 -> 100
• Tier 5 Bio pistol can shoot stim/vita/stami-packs with indepedant cooldowns. All of these ability's cooldown have been reduced by 50%.
• Increased magazine capacity of most guns.
• Shotgun, Arc Welder and Gauss Rifle all had base damage increased by 1.
• Defense Systems armor 5 -> 20
• Swarm units will not by default, attack Defense Systems
• The alien host selection time changed from 120 seconds > 60 seconds

Bug Fixes:

• New players will no longer be shown as murderers (Amazing how many times I fix this lol)
• Visual bug fix for talents
• Visual bug fix for certain weapons
• Taking damage as an alien will no longer make you leave the talent tree
• Turrets will no longer remain invulnerable when repaired
• The queen can no longer heal the overmind
• Infected players can no trigger force infested marines to spawn from the eggs in the cave
• Turrets will no longer remain invulnerable when repaired
• The updating of infected health function is far more robust, and should no longer cause infected deaths under any circumstances
• When placing a creep tumor at an invalid location, the full mana is refunded and the cooldown is reset instantly. The invalid location check range was increased, so it should be more reliable to place.
• Brittle Carapace no longer kills alien spawn when researched
• Infested Marines talk in alien chat
• Taking damage no longer removes the building placement visual
• Fixed a bug where a random player would ally with the swarm, even if they aren't infected
• Aliens will no longer die when the host mutates
• Vacubots can no longer use items.
• Mutation chamber should show up on scans again
• Fixed pathing
• Fixed targeting bug

No map for 1.26 patch?

No map for 1.26 patch?

No, it wouldn't be possible due to the natives in use.

 

[Elprede]

No, it wouldn't be possible due to the natives in use.

It is possible with Unryze's UjAPI.

 

[QProxy]

It is possible with Unryze's UjAPI.

Well, i download it's Unryze's UjAPI.
and I try to launch it through Irinabot, but the card does not start at all

This map was made in 1.36 World Editor. You have to first convert the map to patch 1.26 using Drake53's Map Adapter. Just to be clear, UjAPI makes it possible to use most of the Reforged natives on patch 1.26 but not all.

I don't even have 1.26 anymore... Also 1.26 is a memory unsafe version. You would not want to trust me with your computer's ram

Fixed a UI related crash bug introduced in 2.0
