Outpost Renegades
From OPU Wiki
| Outpost : Renegades (http://renegades.eddy-b.com) is a community project | 
|
It includes parts written/designed by several OPU members. It is basicly a new single-player campaign for the popular game Outpost 2 : Divided Destiny. The time-frame is simular to that of the original OP2 game, but portraits a group of renegade people, under leadership of... the player!

Renegades - mission pack 1 released!
I've already received some bug reports, mainly for mission 3. I knew this was gonna be a killer, not only coz it is the largest DLL (152kB), it is also the most complex AI structure i build for renegades. It includes many features, such as the AI repairing it's damaged buildings, but also a recurring attack of the 2 AI's on this map.
The code that causes the most problems is the final part, where an evac transport is to be built at one of the AI's and sent out to the player. Of course (going with the story), the AI will try to prevent their own people from getting away.. but this is also where the code starts getting tricky.
Another problem was with the 1.3.4 update for Outpost 2: the first public release got an older version of the op2ext.dll which doesn't work 100% with Renegades. Not to worry though, because the Renegades setup includes the correct version of said file, to make it work with the 1.3.3 version of Outpost. So in order to solve this little bug, I changed the setup, so it's not possible to uncheck the installation of this one file: it will always overwrite the outdated op2ext.dll that comes with 1.3.4 of Outpost.
16/10/2005
I have again updated all DLL files, to include version-checking. This should give BETA-testers a warning when they load a game that was saved using an older version of the mission DLL then currently available. If it has major changes, op2 will crash when using the new DLL with the old saved-game. DLLs with minor changes only might run correctly, but also can still crash.
Problems with the (not yet released) audio-player to go with Renegades have been fixed, but not in the manner i'd prefer. This means they will need to be debugged some more later on.
Final testing on mission 3 has commenced, and mission 4 needs to be updated still, using the new mission 3 outcome.
02/10/2005
Mission 3 has seen some major changes, and all four missions have been updated to include Events, rather then Triggers where possible. The event-system worked better and faster (i.e. slows down the game less) then the trigger-system during testing. Because of the changes in mission 3, mission 4 needs to be updated slightly as well to reflect those modifications. The mission has gone into beta testing this weekend, although it still shows an occasional crash.
The novella is also getting done, despite the fact that we're down to our third novellist. I hope Gwyned won't quit as easily :) He's got chapters 1 & 2 done and is working on chapter 3. If all goes well, we can release the first mission-pack (4 missions) halfway down october.
