If you encounter any bugs, either in the stage or in the weapon sets, please LET ME KNOW! Its nearly impossible to thoroughly test everything on my own.

DOWNLOAD IPS PATCH (3.5mb)

Applying the ips patch is easy if you use the goldeneye setup editor. Also keep in mind that since this patch includes modifications to the 21990 table, you will have to modify your emulator's advanced settings to match those of the original rom.

On oddballs you shoulda made a hunting knife a weapon, like have the throwing knives in a crate then have a huntning knife the associated weapon

I'll be curious to see that. I haven't really been that busy on this lately - I have 4 other levels that are close to done already from before, I'm just tweaking now. And my expanded depot backzone is on the backburner for the time being - clipping thus far has been a royal pain.

re: knives - for the purposes of gameplay, aren't the hunting knives and throwing knives the same weapon?

I look forward to playing all the backzones - it's a long sought after ROM conversion. Definitely keep adding to the same backzone ROM as you go.

This is going to be sick. I am actually now going back into hacking and making levels for multi and online; also for single player..


Cold shadow is back!

I'm not going to add this to the vault till you're all finished, but it looks great.

I'm working on building the bottling room from scratch (well, kinda)

I'm sure this varies from level to level - but in the Facility, when I load ONLY the rooms necessary for the bottling room and the clipping and portals for just that area - framerate performance in 2-player mode, believe it or not, improved by about 8 fps on PJ64. Before, it would bottom out at 35-40 fps - right now I can't get it to drop below 45 fps.

I've also been experimenting with even slower levels such as the streets - framerates appear to have improved by about the same amount when I load only certain rooms (as compared to simply killing portals).

So apparently visible portals aren't the only factor in determining framerate.

This could make levels like wreck's quad and my control room much more playable. I also think its why the dam frontzone plays exceptionally well - I removed the entire backzone from the clipping file and from the bg file and framerates hold better than expected.

The only thing that's a pain is going through and re-id-ing all the clipping and re-numbering the portals because the room number change. Any chance of in the future having a delete room feature? It would delete a room from the bg file, delete the clipping for that room, re-id the clipping for all room numbers greater than the room deleted as well as re-id the portals between the greater-numbered rooms.

Hehe, I feel bad posting this next bit, cause I just PM'd it to BMW.

"Funny you should mention that, actually. In a recent PM to GE Master, we were discussing a possible re-release of the Facility Backzone. He mentioned the Quad, which made me wonder about a possible framerate improvement. The two or three videos I've seen of the Quad being played in multiplayer via PC were quite impressive, though. Even without the BG reduction, it played really well. However, I do suspect that it may perform better yet after removing the unused rooms."

"In a recent e-mail to SubDrag, I made a few suggestions to him regarding the Editor. He mentioned that you made one of the same requests. Delete Room & Portals option. It would certainly make our BG reductions easier. Another suggestion I made was a Select Room option. That way, rather than having to go through the level and click on each room, you can simply select it from a list. He said he'd see what he could do over the weekend."

"Nice work on your multi package, by the way. I played the Dam, but haven't had a chance to check out the Frigate. Can't wait to see all the levels as they're completed."

Bottling room is basically done. Even 3 and 4 players play quite well - I was absolutely amazed because before 4 players in this map was virtually unplayable.

Now things are getting a bit tricky to keep track of in the 21990 because of how I'm rerouting everything (necessary since I'll have 3 facility releases - lab, 3/4 zone, and bottling room, each requiring a different bg and clipping file). Bottling room looks like this:

Cradle's setup file
Modified clipping file saved as Street's clipping file
Modified bg file saved as cradle's bg file

And re: dam - did you know that my dam release has no portal data whatsoever? I found that if you delete all portals, then all rooms are visible. This is ok in the dam frontzone because there are no portals which are closed due to doors. I did this out of necessity because the re-numbering of rooms after deleting the frontzone caused the background mountains room numbers to change, thus screwing up the global visibility and making them not visible. The simple fix ended up being just deleting all portals and making everything globally visible.

Now that I think about it, it may be possible to add a Delete Room feature. I'll look into it either tonight or this weekend. Still, the whole bg stuff is a bit tedious since you need to export to txt file, but it really has to be done that way.

It's up to four levels now, very nice. Are the Bottling Room and The Lab the same as their original releases, aside from possible background reductions, or has there been any further modifications made to them?

These are coming along quite well. Smile

They're similar but not identical.

The lab - I beefed it up a little bit - more glass, added a few better crates for cover in the hallways. Also, in response to a request from GE master, I closed off the level with something which much better matches the wall than the oil drum crate - I used the darker stone door - it blends in quite well with the wall (look at the very last screenshot in the lab above). Weapons locations are somewhat different too, also upped it from 5 sets to 8 sets.

Bottling Room - I re-designed the big floor section with new crates - now it looks more like a shooting range. Aside from that modification, its very similar to the original release (including keeping the 2 hand grenades).

And the train is done, I'll post the updated patch sometime tonight.
