Modding
About
SCP is intended to serve as an unofficial patch for System Shock 2 that delivers an authentic but also highly polished SS2 gameplay experience—hopefully approximating the form SS2 would have taken if Irrational had had a few more months to work on it before release. All changes have been made with the intent of respecting Irrational’s original vision. The other goal of SCP is to upgrade SS2 to take advantage of the enhanced graphical features of the NewDark engine in those ways that are beyond the means of standalone mods.
The guiding principle for SCP has been that SS2’s gameplay is fine as-is, and that its greatest strength is
immersion—its ability to make players feel like they’re really trapped on board the Von Braun with all its horrors. So while we’ve tweaked game systems and made adjustments to the level geometry, the goal hasn’t been balancing gameplay, but rather eliminating those things that don’t make sense to the point that they take you out of the game. Anything illogical, gamey, or otherwise immersion-breaking, we’ve tried to correct.
Beta Release Notes
This is a beta release, so it includes a few alterations that we’re not entirely certain people will like. Many of these changes probably don’t belong in a “purist” patch, and may in the future be moved to a separate “enhanced” patch. They are included in this release so we can gather feedback on them.
This beta 1 release includes a manual reconstruction of the map eng2.mis (part 2 of Engineering deck), formerly only available in uneditable “stripped” form. Please scrutinize the heck out of it.
A very silly hidden area has been added to the Earth map. Can you find it?
Requirements and Installation
SCP requires a retail copy of System Shock 2, patched to version 2.43 (NewDark) or higher. To ensure that you’re running the most current version, use SS2Tool to make a new installation. SS2Tool is available here:
httpsHYPERLINK "https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4141.0"://HYPERLINK "https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4141.0"wwwHYPERLINK "https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4141.0".HYPERLINK "https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4141.0"systemshockHYPERLINK "https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4141.0".HYPERLINK "https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4141.0"orgHYPERLINK "https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4141.0"/HYPERLINK "https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4141.0"indexHYPERLINK "https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4141.0".HYPERLINK "https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4141.0"phpHYPERLINK "https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4141.0"?HYPERLINK "https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4141.0"topicHYPERLINK "https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4141.0"=4141.0
Hardware requirements are slightly higher because of the better lighting and enhanced effects. If your netbook was struggling when running vanilla, it will struggle more with SCP.
SCP should be installed as a standard SS2 mod. For SS2 mod installation instructions, see here:

As a “baseline” patch, SCP should usually be installed at the lowest priority when combined with other mods. We’ve done what we can to ensure that SCP is compatible with the major audio/visual mods for SS2. SCP is not, however, compatible with gameplay mods.
SCP will not work with old savegames. You’ll have to start a new game.
Credits
SCP was made possible by the efforts of, in alphabetical order:
● antimatter_16 (mapping)
● kolya (project hosting)
● nameless voice (scripting, mapping)
● olfred (modeling)
● straylight (ADaOB, from which SCP sprung)
● thiefsiefool (SecMod, from which we stole many cool features)
● voodoo47 (mapping, project management)
● zygo (mapping)
● zylonbane (mapping, texturing, project management)
● ...and voluminous feedback from the SS2 community
Spoiler-Free List of Changes
SCP was built using Straylight’s ADaOB (Anomalies, Discrepancies, and Outright Bugs) patch as its foundation. SCP reverts most of ADaOB’s changes to the gameplay and resource economy.
SCP makes the following changes:
● Literally hundreds of tweaks to object positioning to fix floating, misalignments, etc.
● Even more tweaks to terrain texturing to fix tiling errors, scale errors, wrong texture errors, poor placement, consistency, etc.
● Subtle (and occasionally not-so-subtle… but mostly subtle) improvements to level architecture.
● Certain nonsensical areas made more sensical via minor cosmetic additions.
● Improved signage for some of the more confusing areas.
● Enhanced object animations.
● Corrected object scales and physics dimensions.
● Corrected and improved sound propagation.
● Corrected typos and inconsistent terminology in text strings.
● Minor fixes and enhancements to some of the quest logging.
● Many more objects uniquely identified in the HUD.
● Fixed many upside-down objects not behaving correctly.
● Fixed missing or incorrect impact and footstep sounds.
● Used some previously unused resources (sounds, models).
● Fixed issues in many object models (z-fighting, missing polys, etc).
● Sourceless lights given light sources.
● Upgraded lightmap color depth from 16-bit to 32-bit (no more banding).
● Additional animated lighting effects.
● Enhanced particle effects.
● Enhanced weapon projectile and impact effects.
● Effects of certain weapons made more logically consistent.
● New dynamic training system. If you bypass all training in the first level, immersion-breaking “help consoles” are removed from later in the game.
Spoilerific List of Changes
Only read this if you’ve already completed the game.
Gameplay Changes
● ADaOB grenade rebalancing. See the included ADaOB readme for details on how the grenade damage system was reworked. Reverting this change would be a huge amount of work, so we’re leaving it in for now to see if anyone minds.
● Grenade hybrids throw grenades slightly faster. They’re still slow, but might occasionally hit what they’re aiming at now.
● Stasis Field Generator now also works on psi reaver projections, turrets, and security cameras.
● Med beds now also remove toxins, as they always should have.
● Pistol and assault rifle do somewhat less damage. Everyone agrees the assault rifle was overpowered, now it’s slightly less so.
● Tank OS upgrade now adds 10 max HP instead of 5. Yeah, this is a straight-up balance change on our part. But again, pretty much everyone agrees that the original 5 HP gain from Tank is utterly useless.
● Cigarettes now add 1 PSI in addition to subtracting 1 HP. Now they’re good for something other than pointless near-death experiences.
● Hacked and non-hacked turrets no longer shoot at each other. Now you can actually hack a room full of turrets without the dumb things destroying each other in the process.
● Body of the Many goo drops now deal a small amount of damage. Did you always avoid them because you assumed they damaged you? Surprise, they didn’t. Until now.
● Collisions with flesh surfaces do much less damage. It never made sense that slamming into a wall of flesh did just as much damage as slamming into a wall of concrete.
● Player cryokinesis and pyrokinesis shots now do splash damage (which can also damage the player). Before, monkey psi shots did splash damage, but player psi shots did not.
● Pyrokinesis now slightly damages mechanical targets. It makes no sense that a superheated ball of psionic plasma wouldn’t so much as scratch a mechanical target.
● Local pyro field no longer grants immunity to protocol droid explosions. Apologies to all five of you who even knew about this exploit.
● Player can no longer drown. There’s no air supply meter in SS2, and no drowning sounds, so it seems Irrational never intended the player to be able to drown.
● Wall egg pods now always searchable. Some weren’t before.
● Annelid swarms now vulnerable to fire/incendiary damage.
● WormBlood implant no longer heals player when it runs out of energy.
● Objects tossed down the Med/Sci maintenance shaft now appear in Engineering when you descend the ladder.
● Objects tossed into the Command deck gravshaft from the Von Braun to the Rickenbacker now appear in the Rickenbacker (and vice versa).
● Rec deck transmitter now cannot be activated until basketball court power is restored. Before, there was no reason other than poor night vision to complete this objective.
● Getting rid of psi wall to VB/Rickenbacker umbilical room now requires killing Korenchkin psi reaver brain instead of Korenchkin psi reaver projection.
● No more respawning on the Rickenbacker bridge (unless you set off the alarm). Where could they be coming from?
● Killing the Brain of the Many now also kills all enemies in the vicinity and disables any further respawning.
● SHODAN final boss shields now actually rotate around her, instead of the awful fake rotating where they just teleported around to eight different positions.
Cosmetic Changes
● Upgrade stations now swing open when accessed, and close when the player walks away.
● Player hand/weapon now becomes transparent when psi invisibility is active.
● The light from apparitions now smoothly fades in and out instead of just blinking on and off.
● Dynamic light from explosions now fades out instead of blinking off.
● Psi force walls now emit a pulsating blue glow.
● Psi force walls now spawn a dispersing particle effect when slain, instead of just vanishing.
● Nearly all particle effects upgraded to use effect-appropriate bitmap particles.
● Explosion effects improved so the smoke, spark, and animated bitmap components can all run independently of each other. Before, they all had to have exactly the same duration.
● Explosion animated bitmaps now play back much faster, for a more realistic appearance.
● Most explosions now offset themselves from the impact surface, to reduce visual clipping into the terrain.
● Slug turrets, pistols, assault rifles, and shotguns now eject casings when fired.
● Slug turrets, pistols, assault rifles, and shotguns now leave damage decals on terrain (this was actually set up in the original game, but incorrectly, so it never worked).
● Pistol and assault rifle muzzle flash now affixed to muzzle instead of just spawned near the muzzle.
● Shotgun now has a muzzle flash.
● Laser pistol top changes from blue to red when in overcharge shot mode.
● Laser rapier, when held and when dropped, now emits light.
● Laser rapier “humm” now much quieter/less annoying.
● Crystal shard now has unique attack sounds.
● Fusion cannon, when dropped, now emits a soft glow from its barrel.
● All player and enemy weapons now have impact effects.
● Rockets and pyro fireballs now emit a roaring sound in flight.
● Player pyro fireballs now have a heat distortion effect.
● All energy weapon projectiles now emit appropriately-colored dynamic light.
● All energy weapon projectiles, psi effects, force shields, and holograms set to use additive blending (were using multiplicative blending before, which made them look a bit dull).
● Greater psi reaver projectiles now look different from standard psi reaver projectiles.
● Junction boxes emit sparks and play an explosion sound when destroyed.
● Batteries emit sparks when inserted in their terminals.
● All searchable objects display item-specific text when targeted, instead of just “Search container”.
● Searched corpses now identify as “A corpse.” in the search window, instead of nothing.
● Psi reaver projections no longer display “Search corpse.” when killed, and can’t be searched when resurrected.
● Killed SHODAN avatar use text no longer display “Search corpse.”
● Destroyed Rickenbacker turret use text no longer says “Search corpse.”
● Destroyed Rickenbacker turrets no longer continue playing rotation sound if killed while rotating.
● All portable turrets now pop their tops when destroyed.
● Annelid psi organ and healing organ now have a use sound.
● Cigarettes now make a sound (“FOOSH”) when used.
● Wrench, crystal shard, and laser rapier now make a sound when dropped in water.
● Researchable organs now sound like flesh when dropped on flesh (instead of unbreakable glass).
● Nav markers now make a UI beep sound when dropped.
● Air ducts now emit a subtle dust cloud when destroyed.
● All armors, weapons, and ammo boxes scaled down to a size appropriate for the human-sized AI models in the game.
● Bags of chips no longer go “thud” when dropped.
● Ring buoys and radiation suits now sound like fabric when dropped, instead of metal.
● Hydro deck environmental regulators no longer make no sound when hit.
● Player sound effects for pyrokinesis and cryokinesis no longer swapped.
● Cryo monkeys and pyro monkeys now use appropriate sound effect when attacking, instead of both using the same sound.
● Player now makes footstep sounds on vegetation and unbreakable glass surfaces.
● Diamond-tread flooring now sounds like metal when walked on, instead of the default “plasticrete” material.
● Rickenbacker air ventilators now spin continuously in one direction instead of ping-ponging.
● Smashed conduits now drop their parts along the length of the conduit, instead of emitting them randomly from the centerpoint.
● Rickenbacker conduits now breakable.
● Smashing windows now spawns twice as many glass shards.
● Window shards now closer in opacity to the windows themselves.
● Killing annelid worms and psi reaver brains now spawns a particle splash effect in addition to the creature corpse parts.
● “Xerxes Access” keyboards no longer treated as screens (can’t be broken).
● Chunks of destroyed eggs no longer collide with the player’s feet.
● Hacking the GamePig now unlocks all the available games, including some that I can see why they left them out.
● The one searchable chunk of destroyed robots now emits smoke for a few seconds.
● All elevator and QBR interiors now identical.
Map-Specific Changes
This is a mostly verbatim transcript of our map issue-tracking log for this project, so it’s a bit cryptic and jargon-heavy. Still, it should give a good idea of the scope of corrections to the game’s maps. This doesn’t even list all the hundreds of minor texture and object tweaks.

● Flammable sign 538 renders in front of glass when viewed close up. //fixed, added Renderer/Render Order: Post Opaque 1
● Flammable sign 548, ditto //fixed
● Departure bay floor is textured with wires instead of floor plating. Granted you only get the barest glimpse of it, but it's an easy fix so why not? //fixed, changed to rck026
● Door 68 could use a proper alcove. //fixed, v47: took me a bloody 1.5 hour
● Wedge lights 307, 315, and 744 set up to turn on when approached, but something seems screwed up so they start out already turned on and instead just get a little bit brighter when approached. Not sure how to fix this, or really if there's even anything to fix. //fixed, v47: now they turn on when the player approaches, and off when he backs away. I believe this has been the original intention.
● Door 156 doesn't open quickly enough to avoid player bumping into it. //fixed, moved tripwire 95 further into shuttle bay so player triggers it sooner
● Station portion visible through upper windows of first alcove seems unfinished. //fixed, replaced placeholder texture, added glass to windows
● Dressed up the departure shuttle bay to more closely resemble the arrival shuttle bay, even though you can barely see any of it before hitting the training trigger, oh well.
● Objects 519, 520, 521 descend from missing archetype "Graph screen", seemingly unused. //deleted
● Added a shuttle flying outside the station.
● No doors in niches leading to each training choice. //fixed, put the unused "mission gate" doors in each doorway, rigged them to open automatically when player enters room
● Three brushes near obj 687 have an incorrect texture on the bottom. //fixed
● Blinking lights 299, 739 embedded in solid. //deleted
Engineering Deck
Engineering deck general
All the big, slow double doors don't start to open until you're just about pressing your nose against them. //fixed, made the triggers much larger
eng1.mis
● New obj scales and physdims distributed.
● Fixed physdims on all instances of desk -119 and -120.
● The engine core area with the four identical doors (pod 1/pod 2/coolant tubes/core control) could use better differentiation of which door is which. //added a "core control" sign on the door that leads to the core, and a "maint. shaft" sign to the door that leads to the shaft.
● Wrench 1618 falls partially embedded in adjacent ledge. //fixed
● Floor arrows 1704 and 1706 need to be aligned with each other. //fixed
● One handle in the main elevator is missing, the obj needs to be created. //fixed. actually was there all the time, sunken in the wall.
● Above sign 699, "ATTENTION!" tech screen appears to be floating on a black untextured surface due to no light reaching it. //fixed, added a brush light near it
● Flowing goo texture alignment near lights 712, 706, 860, and 861. //fixed
● Lighting up the reactor core after restoring power would be a nice touch. //done, in red
● Lift walls 1855 attached backwards. //fixed
● Adjust brushwork/texturing in maze area to eliminate headbob portal transitions. //done
● The env sounds around the reactor core are all hosed up. there is that default humming that can be heard near the core, but there is also the machinery sound that abruptly starts when the player enters the room, and can be heard all the way into both nacelles. maybe extend the humming to both nacelles, make the machinery sound audible only near the core, and only AFTER the core has been restarted. //currently humming in the core area and both nacelles, and machine sound in the core area when the core gets restarted
● Need to do something smart with the empty subdeck area with the first midwife. Such useless, empty spaces should not exist on a spaceship. //scattered some junk around, could use some more stuff, like shelves with junk, eng1 chem/storage area style.
● Cleaned up door niche texturing and door positioning in the reactor core area.
● Nacelle computers 1736, 1834 can be activated multiple times. //fixed
● Decals 1165, 1171 floating. //fixed
● QBR 1702 missing ambient sound. //fixed
● Duplicate unused respawn marker 466. //fixed, deleted
● Changed replicator 973 cigs price to 8.
● Duplicate LandingPoint marker 1864. //fixed, deleted
● Weird green lights to right of button 966. //deleted, probably left over from some screens that used to exist there
● Pipe 1069 doesn't entirely reach ceiling. //fixed
● Map location 9 internally named "Pump Station". Could add a "Pump Station" sign on one of the big blank walls in this area. //done
● Missing level ambiance trigger in main elevator. //fixed
● All Amber Lights (-1771) set to render Unlit. //fixed
● Fluidics control computer 1114 shows as frobbable after being used. //fixed
● Fluidics control computer 1114 doesn't show a use string. //fixed
● The monotonous monochromatic coolant tunnels could be greatly enhanced with a bit of a lighting overhaul. This area should feel like a dark scary basement, but instead it just feels like a well-lit rat maze. Introducing areas of light, darkness, and green glow from the coolant pipes would fix this.
○ As per above lighting issue, modified coolant tube ceiling lights 229, 122, 76, 228, 520, 535, 860, 861, 868, 880, 562, 571, 268, 614, 352, 361, 706, 712, 1254, 1255, 1256, 1259, 1055, 1059, 1196, 1224, 1236 to be slightly brighter and with a greenish cast to simulate light also coming from the overhead coolant pipes.
○ Darkened coolant tube ceiling lights 914, 888, 882, 860, 861, 344, 345.
○ Made coolant tube ceiling light 1097 flicker. This acts as a visually distinctive marker for the entrance/exit to the cul-de-sac area of the maze.
● Hallways with rad detectors 1138, 1150 irradiate player even though there's no visible radiation leaking. //fixed, added radiation FX; deleted rad lights 660, 670, 296, 658 to keep brightness sane
● Tripwires for most doors are tiny 4x4x4 cubes. //fixed, changed most to 10x6x4
● Security doors 2080, 1296 use the same sound as every other small door on this level. //fixed, changed to the cool but underused StationDoor schema
● Nacelle core 1703 has three identical sound emitters along its length, which don't all start playing at the same time and thus can sound really wonky. //fixed, stripping it down to just one emitter and increasing its radius seems to sound fine
● Nacelle core 1074 missing ambient sound that's in nacelle core 1703. //fixed
● Wonky sound propagation inside both nacelle cores. //fixed, needlessly complex room brush setup
● No room brush for windows 694, 776. //fixed, also added door property so windows pass sound when broken
● No footstep sounds behind both nacelle cores, near pipes 394, 219. //fixed
● Lower passageways around both nacelle cores are way too short. //fixed, made all a unit higher
● Nacelle core access doors 1074, 1703 in almost complete darkness. //fixed, added dim light near each
● Somewhere in the lower cargo bay would be a good place to sneak in an inactive Talon droid. //done, added one near crate 2107
● Can get stuck behind medbed 863. //fixed; tweaked physics, moved a bit, and made non-mantleable
● Fluor lights 1930, 1931 sticking out into lift shaft. //fixed, made recessed
● Plant 573 hovering. //fixed
eng2.mis
● New obj scales and physdims distributed.
● Particles upgraded to bitmaps.
● Crates near crate 868 sinking into the ground. //fixed
● Added door properties to crate 439. While this is hacky and not recommended, it's the only way of stopping the big bot projectiles (without this, they will just pass through, and as the player fights bots/hides behind the crate quite often here, the issue becomes quite apparent).
● Barrels in the shuttle bay don't block AIs. //fixed
● Cleaned up the Many sequence area - made sure all the veins and nerves are properly connected, and the sphincters cover the tunnel exits properly
● Spiders in the Many sequence act weird, maybe we should make them just peacefully patrol around instead of having an allergic reaction to the player. Also, they seem to get stuck on the sphincters, even though they have no physics. //fixed. they now crawl around properly. also set them to not collide with AIs, hoping this will lessen the tendency to get stuck in the cave beyond the second sphincter
● Way too much stuff gets elevatored from eng2 to eng1. Only things that are in the first room should get elevatored. //fixed, added one more room brush.
● The head thrown by hybrid 843 is now emitted by a separate trap, so it can land facing the player. Also spawns slightly away from the hybrid's body so it does not look like it's coming right out the hybrids lower parts anymore.
● Blood splat 66 repositioned slightly.
● Barrels around turret 808 set up to damage it properly.
● Lowered the two upgrade units slightly.
● Sign 149 floating. //fixed
● Particles 537 start too low. //fixed
● Need to copy fog settings from many.mis to Many vision section. //done
● Need to place a big blood splatter at the wall where the suicide ghost's brain would end up, unless we are going with "worm licked it clean" or similar (loc -3.99/-696.5/22.25). //done
● Moved level start marker 662 to level start.
● Weird sound propagation in four-way intersection near 1684. //fixed, door room brushes overlapping
● Changed replicator 346 cigs price to 8.
● Systems monitoring unit 676 doesn't display name string. //fixed (correct name property was already on it but with an accidental space inserted)
● Systems monitoring unit 676 shifts when card inserted. //fixed, got rid of the model tweq and teleported in the card-inserted model
● Copied in reconstructed brushwork. Mission is now unstripped.
● Screens near 232 horizontally stretched. //fixed
● Screens near 655 horizontally stretched. //fixed
● Screens near 86 horizontally stretched. //fixed'ish
● Weird lighting/shadows in corridor with suicide ghost. //fixed, added Force Static Shadow to door 127, added ambient light to compensate
● Apparition 849 starts a little too late. //fixed, moved trigger farther down hallway
● Replicator 346 embedded in wall. //fixed
● Nanite tank 398 doesn't fall when lift under it falls. //fixed

● One of the three cryo pods at the beginning missing the internal overhead light. //fixed
● No way to get patients into starting cryo pod room except by ladder, WTF. //added broken door at end of otherwise nonsensical dead-end hallway in adjacent room
● Very first ladder should be moved 0.5 to the left. //fixed //and fixed again, moved the entire niche to the right so it's centered on the short hallway it leads to
● Junction box 945 missing the usual conduits. //fixed
● Radar dish platform could really use some less retarded texturing. medsc004 or medsc009 should do the trick. //fixed
● Radar dish destruction at beginning produces two simultaneous explosion sounds for each explosion, one from the spawned explosion, the other from a sound trap. //fixed, isolated radar dish platform room brush from all other room brushes so you only hear the special "space explosion" sound
● Radar dish impact could use a little player shaking. //added ShakeYourBooty script to marker 2002
● Added large animated light flash when radar dish impacts glass.
● Added lights 947 and 878 burning out when radar dish impacts glass.
● Window 464 tweq tries to load nonexistent model "wnd24". //fixed, corrected to "wnd_24"
● Bottom part of forcefield in starting room can be crouch-leaned through. //fixed, added another invisible blocker
● No forcefield sound effect when force fields appears in first room. //fixed, added AmbientHacked schema "rck_shieldS" to space_shield_10x24 (948)
● Radar dish platform not visible from second room that you climb into from starting room, even though it should be. //fixed, connected exterior sky brushes
● Try adding schema for duct debris to duct 402 so it at least makes some sound when players try to crawl over it. //tried, doesn't work
The rest of the map
● Mission tries to load three nonexistent script modules. //fixed
● The horrible texture mess on Xerxes and the main elevator needs to be sorted out. //fixed
● Ladder on the maintenance shaft needs to be made taller to prevent player from accidentally jumping behind it. //fixed. v47: I can't truly express how much I enjoy this fix.
● The first hybrid sometimes doesn't spot the player and returns to the security booth after rushing out, this looks weird. //fixed by making him run to the player location, and then face the player. Can still get weird under certain circumstances. //added return to origins "false", this should do for the time being.
● Light fixtures don't switch on. //fixed. turns out this is a broken model; fixed model included in the SCP package
● Make the bulkhead door that you open with the battery stay open once activated. //fixed
● Fluor light 785 floating. //fixed
● Elevator button 265 too low. //fixed

● Fake textured light 1232 near 3D modeled lights. //fixed, replaced with a fluor tube light
● Fluor light 509 has no niche. //fixed, niched it
● Lift 1853 backwards. //fixed, rotated phys attached walls (1852)
● Obviously invisible light source near -60, 64, 4. //fixed, replaced with a fluor tube light
● Anim cylinder light 436 placed in fluor light ceiling niche, looks really weird. //fixed, moved off to the side, also upgraded the light in that niche to a 3D model
● Dead guy 1362 seems like he should have some loot (is in a closet behind two out-of-the-way doors), but doesn't. There's a gun near him, but it's only visible on the lowest difficulty level. //gave him a small beaker and an anti-toxin hypo
● Polito email triggered by entering room 642 and apparition triggered by ectoplasm 1321 will play at the same time if player doesn't stop to listen to the email. //fixed'ish, moved apparition trigger further down the hallway
● Moved apparition 1326 and moved/reposed body 833 so the apparition collapses into the body.
● Watts death speech emitter 1185 located pretty far from his body. //fixed, centered on his head
● Recharging station 273 animated light appears off to the side. //fixed, was offset on X instead of Y
● Explosive barrels 827, 863 can be walked through by AIs. //fixed, added Physics/Misc/AI Collides With:TRUE
● Conduit pair 587/1810 doesn't reach wall. //fixed, added a third conduit
● Fluor light 1911 not centered in niche. //fixed
● Wall console 690 interferes with player movement around ladder pit. //fixed, moved to adjacent wall
● Swapped positions of security console 85 and infocomp 1139, so the more important security console is under the spotlight.
● Changed Grassi replicator kvetch 1730 AIWatchObj trigger distance from 10 to 20 so triggers before player is right on top of it.
● Added cretpose to apparition 1730 so it does not start in the "T" position.
● Decreased brightness of lights 1863, 1120 so apparition 1730 looks better.
● Apparitions 1406, 1730, 1326, removed Dynamic Light property so they will work correctly with NVGlowTrap lighting method.
● Sound 327 (crew woman screaming while running) does not follow along with running AI. //fixed, physically attached sound to AI
● Malfunctioning door 88, lowered opening speed so as to appear more malfunction'y (and to allow its sound effect to play out).
● Near pipe 558, changed floor/ceiling texture from tile to grating. Moved nearby gratings 216/518 to align with niche edge.
● Doorway near console 1881 makes no sense-- just opens into empty space. //fixed'ish, added a blocked door on the far wall and the suggestion of a collapsed walkway, all without physics of course, so the jump to the loot is still just as frustrating
● Light 534 hangs too low for theoretical walkway extending from nearby door. //fixed, replaced with shorter light 2133
● Hybrid 163 can chase player onto lift 1853, causing various bad things to happen (sometimes just disappears!). //fixed, made the lift walls block pathfind
● Ambient sound trap 1126 generates error "requested nonexistent schema"; appears to be requesting no schema at all. //fixed, deleted (was initiated from trigger 1150)
● Texturing of rails for lift 548 doesn't match the other two lifts in this map. //fixed
● Texture alignment glitch on dark blue tile near object 651. //fixed
● Moved light 1793 so it won't collide with the conduits.
● Hybrid and the woman from the chase scene are HUD-selectable. //fixed
● Made sure the player cannot catch a glimpse of the chase hybrid idling before he starts running.
● Set the nearby junction box and wall console to not collide with AIs, this should help stabilize the somewhat random timing of the chase sequence.
● Explosive barrels near the turret duo have been set up to damage the turrets.
● Exploding console 691 will now leave a wall damage decal.
● Marker 1193 moved next to door 170. Should play the scream sound a bit earlier.
● Morgue cremation furnace damage setup only hurts player in a single small spot. //fixed, copied the fixed setup used in rick1
● Misplaced brush light near object 1091. Should probably be over it. //fixed
● Wrong textures on sides of a couple of the MRIs near object 1091. //fixed
● Slightly off rotation on light 845. //fixed
● Ceiling texture misalignment near camera 77. //fixed. how the fuq did I miss that?
● Corpse 734 (Dr. Watts) displays "Search container" when targeted. //fixed, changed to "Search corpse."
● Corpse 734 (Dr. Watts) displays no name string. //fixed, added a custom name string, "Dr. Watts"
● Keypad 222 doesn't display use string. //fixed, had a custom name identical to the default name
● Hypo 478 sometimes falls off ledge on sim start. //fixed
● Lift 601 has no floor niche. //fixed

● Hanging corpse 735 feet touch computer console. //fixed, moved corpse and console away from each other
● Hanging corpse 735 doesn't rotate around where rope intersects his neck. //fixed, detail attached corpse to rope and made rope rotate instead
● Duct alignment in mortuary off. //fixed, all ducts in a row
● Excessive delay between explosion 1952 and glass shattering 1958. //fixed
● Move 2149 to -73.55/-212/14.85, 2147 to -73.55/-211.075/14.51, and 2148 to -73.55/-210.755/13 so it will be compatible with the latest Vurt flora pack. //fixed, reluctantly
● Brush light at -0.25, -75.86, 2.85 needs nudged to get rid of black edges on cryo-tube. //fixed
● Open bulkhead doors 1024, 1026 and 1017, 1022 set as closed. //fixed
● Battery receptacle 1128 not sunk into wall like the first one, 1766. //fixed
● Battery receptacle 1128 set up to trigger a particle effect when activated, but for some reason it doesn't work. //fixed, improved effect, added sound when battery inserted, applied to 1766 too.
● Added recharger button 2146 near battery receptacle 1128, visible in editor only, to ease testing.
● Main elevator doors close too soon. //fixed, were set to 4 seconds instead of default of 10
● Main elevator button 1052 located to left of elevator door, unlike every other deck where it's on the right. //fixed
● Sourceless light above ladder 1140. //fixed
● Missing level ambiance trigger in main elevator. //fixed
● Light 853 floating away from wall. //fixed
● Light 126 not reaching the ceiling. //fixed
● Set the railings near the hybrid chase scene to not collide with AIs hoping this will mitigate the problem with the AIs getting stuck there.
● Texture p0028 screen near chair 128 horizontal texture alignment slightly off. //fixed
● Texture p0012 screen near chair 128 horizontally stretched. //fixed
● Terminal box 1028 floating. //fixed
● Exploding screen 2105 is already destroyed before the explosion goes off. //fixed, also moved shotgun holes 233 off the screen over to a wall
medsci2.mis
● Implemented adaptive training. Added tripwire 1631 in elevator entrance, linked to anti-qb filter 1623, which checks qvar "Newbie" (set in earth.mis). If NOT set, destroys all infocomps.
● Steam particles need upgrade. //all particles now use steam bitmap
● New obj scales and physdims distributed.
● Fixed physdims on all instances of desk -119 and -120.
● Mission tries to load three nonexistent script modules. //fixed

● Windows 1934, 1929 not aligned with terrain window shape. //fixed
● Visible gap into outer space between windows 1929, 1931. //fixed
● The bunk beds in the flooded crew quarters are ridiculous. Anyone sleeping in the bottom bunk would have a giant wedge a foot from their face, anyone in the top bunk would have the ceiling a foot from their face, and there's not even any way to get to the top bunks. //fixed
● Near railing 124, floor textures on wall. //fixed
● Pipes 1075, 1084 need to be floored. //fixed

● Clipped/truncated Xerxes Access keyboard in ICU area. //fixed, tweaked the brushwork
● Texture tech/p0017 (monkey brain scan) is, as far as I can tell, used nowhere on MedSci. Considering this map is where the monkeys are stored and experimented on, we should try to shoehorn it in somewhere. //replaced a screen in the ICU with this
● Changed ICU animated light 621 to "Slide Smoothly". Let's see if people like it.
● Glitchy brushwork at top of ramp in lounge area. //fixed
● There are several places where they used a brush light in a niche instead of an object light (presumably to conserve objects). //replaced all with equivalent object lights for consistency.

● Rising steam 275 looks wonky, especially when crouching and standing up near it. //fixed, added Renderer/Render Order:No Z-Write to Science Tube (188)
● Window 1932 looks more transparent than other windows near it. //fixed, had a different alpha setting to attempt to compensate for it being in shadow; added Extra Light instead
● Light 400 dynamic, but also has non-dynamic light property; needs to have it removed. //fixed
● Ceiling console 161 partially embedded in wall. //fixed
● Maybe add the "rck_shieldS" sound near the dead monkey storage force fields. //nah, they're too small to logically make the same sound as the huge force fields
● Door 246 laying on the floor like it fell from somewhere, but there are no doorways missing doors anywhere near there. Should probably replace with a Broken Railing (-1075) since there is a missing section of railing above it. But then the silly pair of legs sticking from under the door would make even less sense. //fixed - added a door alcove near 232 one level up, now it should be pretty believable to say that the door has been ripped from there and thrown down on the poor squashed guy, leaving only feet.
● Sign 1547 z-fighting with wall. //fixed
● Marker 1353 too high, starts apparition in mid-air. //fixed

● Replicator 718 doesn't display use message when frobbed. //fixed

Operations Deck
Ops deck general
● Simulation computers still show up as frobbable even after being reprogrammed. Would be good to make them not do that. //fixed, made them not do that
○ SimComp locations: ops3/810, ops4/444, ops4/437
● There are several Many eggs in Ops that don't make the normal egg sound. I'm unsure whether this is an oversight or deliberate to trick the player into stumbling into them. //in any case, they have sound now
● Entire deck is devoid of decorative props (magazines, cigs, mugs, etc). Could subtly scatter some around in logical locations.
● Fixed physdims on all instances of desk -119 and -120.

● Jorge at top of SHODAN auditorium, near binary digit textures. //fixed, removed the brushes
● Z-fighting on SHODAN screen pieces. //fixed, offset slightly

● Wedge light 802 partially embedded in ceiling. //fixed
● Wedge light 810 partially embedded in ceiling. //fixed
● Three of the four terrain light textures to the left and right of replicator screen 462 need to have their edges cleaned up. //fixed

● Auto-repair unit 845 floating. //fixed

ops3.mis (STRIPPED)
● New obj scales implemented.
● Worm goo 1294 backward. //fixed
● Grate 1315 needs to be adjusted to not z-fight with its neighbor grates. //fixed
● At tall plant 859, it's fairly common to see AIs stuck trying to run through this point. Perhaps set it to immobile and to repel AIs? //fixed

● Egg 628 has two tripwires (630 and 671), making it able to spawn two grubs. Each tripwire should destroy the other. //fixed
● Grate 1316 needs to be moved down a tiny bit to avoid z-fighting. //fixed
● The hybrid in the bathroom sometimes stays still and won't attack //fixed, made sure player is not able to avoid the tripwire that makes him attack. also made him look at the player after finishing his scripted sequence, this should make sure he always spots the player and starts attacking.
● Tripwire 1268, near the bulkhead 42 entrance, triggers a sequence of explosions further down the hallway, where the player can't possibly see or be affected by them. //fixed, moved to a suitably evil location near the explosions
● Cryo barrels 1007 and 1011 spin ridiculously when shot. //fixed, set to immobile
● Marker 989 starts apparition in midair. //fixed
● Maint bot teleports in too soon near end of Bronson massacre, interrupting it. Recommend changing summon marker 821 delay from 10 to 20. Better still would be to not teleport it in plain sight. //fixed //changed back to 10, as the bot now spawns behind the double doors

● All bulkhead doors now have NVDoorStartsOpen script assigned and open/closed position set to 0. that takes care of the weird lighting thing that was going on.
ops4.mis (STRIPPED)
Note: Ops4 seems relatively unfinished compared to the other Ops deck maps, due to the simple, boxy level architecture, and the low amount of decorative objects. An attempt has been made to correct this by adding a large number of new deco objects, hopefully consistent with the style used by Irrational on the other maps. To allow easily removing these objects for a more purist experience, the unused property Sound/Face Motions: False has been added to all new deco objects. To remove them, highlight by property "face pos", enter command multibrush_the_highlight, delete multibrush, then reprocess the level.
● Vicinity of Bronson's last stand could use a lot more trashing of the environment. //done, trashed it good
● Worm goo 691 backward. //fixed

● Audio log 525 upside-down. //fixed
● Fluorescent lights 716, 718, and 719 need their model set to "lightred" (since the room they're in is lit bright red). //fixed
● Computer 460 (the one SHODAN sends you back to Ops to activate in the endgame), would IMHO look better nudged over to Y:-294 so the console operator wouldn't be constantly banging his shoulder into it. //fixed
● Sign 727 floating. //fixed
● Audio log 525 reveals the code to the MedSci weapons lockup, but does not add a note with the code. //fixed
● Interrogation room doors 206, 221, 224, and 227 will close while the player is still standing in the door frame. //fixed, removed the door delay prop

● Glass 487/488 rendering weird. //fixed, changed to use a different window model

● Made most square ceiling lights into omni light/spotlight pairs (to match how these fixtures are used on ops3)
● Added some colored lighting near lights 210, 207, 213.
● Searching all the empty lockers in the two bunk rooms is tedious and unfun. //fixed, replaced empty lockers 141, 144, 149, 137, 136, 132, 134, 363, 366, 367, 368, 371, 398, 401 with broken lockers (roughly half the empty ones).

● No visible light sources in room near object 270. //fixed, added a few ceiling lights
● SHODAN email triggered by doors 675, 678, 239 can easily end up talking over Xerxes announcement triggered by tripwires 156, 380. //fixed, deleted tripwire 380, moved 156 over near bot 325 and put it on a 5-second delay so it's less obvious where the trigger is.
● Room for door 250 doesn't block generator sound when closed. //fixed, sound coming in through window, added door property to window so it only passes sound if window broken
● Subdivided physics of console with pipes 253 into three separate objects for more realistic collision.

● Lighting near turret 328 makes it look really ugly. //fixed, was another sourceless light, created a proper ceiling fixture nearby
● Card slots 619/620 pre-unlocked. Where's the actual key? Maybe require key be found on Hard/Impossible? //v47: it's obj 901 on eng1. even though it's on a very visible corpse, some players do tend to miss it for some reason (maybe that hiding in the plain sight thing). no arguments against requiring the key on hard+ //zb: made the card slots locked, placed a duplicate security key in desk 1331 near the holding cells; that seems like a decent compromise
● Ceiling swarmer pods fixed with new flipped models.
● QBR activation pad too low, also flipped around. //fixed
● Physics wrong on doors 98, 99, 566, 567. //fixed
● New obj scales implemented.

● Moved the swarm spawn points from the broken lift so the spawned swarms would actually be able to track the player

● Light 601, 607 floating. //fixed

● Replicator w/ screen 492 missing top, needs texture behind screen replaced with m_gl. //fixed the cut off top
● Kitchen floor tile misaligned chunk through door 245. //fixed
● All wedge lights have been set to render/normal
● Brushes visible out window 276 need to all be skyhack. //fixed
● Open bulkhead doors 382/384 marked as closed. //fixed
● Open bulkhead doors 385/391 marked as closed. //fixed
● Open bulkhead doors 396/400 marked as closed. //fixed

● Floor texture alignment issue near railing 343. //fixed
● Sign 689 sunk in wall. //fixed
● Wall object 306 doesn't tile correctly with surrounding terrain wall. Terrain wall needs to be U:100. Also wall tiling around entire dining area perimeter needs corrected. //fixed
● Camera 237 doesn't sweep, doesn't trigger alarm when spots player. //fixed. also made it NOT spin around 360 degrees, as it looked just silly.
● Light 1055 not centered over its doorway. //fixed
● Carpet texture alignment glitch near light 1055 (on other side of door). //fixed
● Sign 690 floating in midair. //fixed
● Eggs 698, 699, 704 don't open when triggered (also there's a visible teleport effect when their grubs are spawned). //fixed
● Bathroom for toilet 1274, ceiling texturing inconsistent with other bathroom across from it. //fixed
● Wall texture track for lift 2235 should be made consistent with texturing used for lifts in MedSci. //fixed
● Repositioned a bunch of lights around obj 240, also added render order prop on the windows so they do not disappear when viewed through the nearby railings.
● Conduits from 274 not aligned correctly. //fixed
● Maintenance niche for floor hatch 430 should be something other than carpet. //fixed..ish?
● Ladder 402 (laying on ground) difficult to walk across. //fixed
● Added doors to all toilet stalls, also sinks near obj 159 and 1331
● Texture offsets modified around the koolaid wall so the object would fit in smoothly

● Object 380 floating away from wall. //fixed
● Carpet texture abutting grass texture near lights 71, 1055, 1053. Would IMHO look better with a different texture separating grass from door rail. //fixed, added drainage grills

● Eggs 297, 2026 and corpse 1096 highlight through locked door 1475. //fixed, moved to a blue room and teleport in when door unlocked
● Deleted tripwire 504 for egg 297, made tripwire 2024 open both 297 and 2026.
● Graves dug for corpses 453, 459, 1092:
○ Bottoms of graves would make more sense as dirt instead of grass and leaves. But there's no dirt terrain texture //fixed, added a dirt texture
○ Where did the dirt from all these graves go? No dirt piles nearby. //fixed, added dirt piles (and a shovel)
○ Graves are too perfectly symmetrical and identical. //fixed, made more sloppy-looking
○ Every corpse is identical. //fixed, mixed up the genders, poses, and decks
● Garden pit with bodies 440, etc would make more sense textured as dirt instead of grass. //fixed, and smoothed out corners with some extra wedges
● Grates 433, 439 much larger than the holes they're supposed to cover. //fixed

● Niche missing fluor light above 464. //fixed
● Missing fluor lights above 689, 691. //fixed
● Security comp 209 too high. //fixed
● Lights 280, 281 hang ridiculously low. //fixed, replaced with fluor lights set up same as other fluor lights in this area
● Is possible to get in hidden area at -30, -60, -5 with high agility and a speed hypo. But there's nothing in there. Should add body with some minor loot. //lighting and a speed hypo added, now just need the body
● Email 508 ("Babies must sleep. Babies must rest.") triggers on entering room brushes 71 and 146, which are nowhere near any eggs. //fixed, moved to room brushes 104 and 115, the two entrances to the maint tunnels where the eggs are. This email also triggers in an optional but very likely to be visited area on Hydro deck, so this will probably never be heard on this deck anyway
● Email 503 ("Mistrust is the tyranny of the individual.") triggered by tripwire 587, in same room brush that email 508 was moved to. //fixed, moved trigger to room brush 71 (that formerly triggered email 508).
● Pipe 572 clips into railing 514. //fixed
● Eggs 105, 551, 555, 564 (maintenance tunnels) have their tripwires set up for approach from only one direction. //fixed
● Inconsistent ceiling texture in room with object 1138. //fixed
● Weird narrow gap in terrain near -250, -83, -6. //fixed'ish, put some pipes in the gap, also added a dim light because it's so dark back there
● Doorway for double doors 1458, 1460 could be widened so doors aren't so egregiously cropped. //done, also fixed carpeting across gap
● Mist 349 needs particle texture upgrade. //fixed
● Replicator 487 missing wedge cutout on upper-left. //fixed
● Sign 1694 floating. //fixed

● Pipe 1525 has a rotate tweq on it for no apparent reason. //deleted
● Camera 237 floating. //fixed
● Column and light niche brushes near camera 237 not symmetrically placed. //fixed
● If you mantle over table 305, can get stuck behind it. //fixed
● Lights 224, 1562 providing the only light sources for two very large "light" textured surfaces. //fixed, added additional lights so the illumination is more evenly distributed
● Window 279 missing frame. //fixed
● Window 309 angle wrong, placement in frame doesn't match window 204. //fixed
● Dining area trap triggers 8 seconds after entering room brush 46, which is about 10 times longer than the player needs to get to the door that the trap locks. //fixed, changed trap 761 delay from 8 seconds to 0.5
● Dining area trap screws up if player pushes button 146 before the trap activates. //fixed, made lower dining area room brush containing button also activate trap
● Lights 156, 906 are set up to turn off as part of dining area trap, but don't. //fixed, had the BaseLight script duplicated
● Tripwire 1324 linked to nothing. //fixed, adjusted control flags and linked to nearby door 245 so player can exit kitchen through this door even when dining area trap active
● Redundant tripwire 1380 for door 1342. //deleted, adjusted tripwire 1322 to cover both sides of door
● Glitch in audio when riding lift 2235. //fixed, was moving between rooms with different EAX settings
● Sourceless light above lift 2235. //fixed, added an overhead fixture
● Floor tube lights 301, 317 use a different model from all the other floor tube lights in the level. //fixed

● Breakable window 1563 doesn't attenuate sound when unbroken. //fixed
● Light 292 floating. //fixed
● Ladder 89 not centered on opening. //fixed
● Room brushes "em 0503" and "em 0508" generate mono warning due to not actually sending email. //fixed, moved from under EmailRoom to OnceRoom
rec3.mis
● Open shops and shops closed by "blast doors" (just a pasted-on texture) have different door styles, giving the mall a disjointed feel. Attempted to give all shop doors a unified style.
● Applied obj scales.
● All wedge lights set to render/normal.
● Spilled soda 247 hanging partially off countertop. //fixed
● Wall damage 373 clipping into surrounding walls. //fixed

● Texture alignment error in ceiling above replicator 2043. //fixed
● Partially-constructed steps near bar stool 1573. //fixed (some steps were already there, but wiped out by an air brush)
● Ceiling brush light above light 370 needs a better texture, shallower niche. //fixed, stuck a fluor. light fixture in there
● Door tripwire 301 can be walked around, physics model needs to be wider. //fixed
● Lights 88/994 not centered over door brush. //fixed
● Added doors to all toilet stalls, also small sinks to the cells at the security checkpoint
● Screwy texturing in QBR 294. //fixed
● Theater concession counter (near 233) wall gap too narrow for player to walk through, but AIs can walk through it. Looks like a bit of the counter end could be shaved off without making it look weird. //fixed; shaved off 0.20, if I try more, it looks weird.
● Texture alignment on movie theater seats screwed up in a few places. Brushwork is weird... looks like a theater for people whose legs end at the knees. //fixed as much as possible without redesigning the area completely
● The theater projection screen needs to be sorted out somehow - the default placement makes it look misaligned when hires textures are used. maybe we should use the ADaoB solution for this one (movcen/movsides), even though it would mean including a couple of more custom textures. //fixed up slightly.
● Texturing of step fronts leading up to sensual stim units. //fixed
● Light 1833 not centered over door frame. //fixed
● Light 1817 not centered in niche. //fixed
● Brush light near 213 needs to be replaced with object light. Also the brush light inside the security station. //done
● Sound partial dead spot centered in door leading to security station. //fixed
● Sound dead spot near camera 161. //fixed
● Slot machines 1478, 1459, 1462, 1455 too high; should be at floor level or barely elevated. //fixed

● Weird unused doors slots(?) at -246 -299 -8. //unweirded
● Bathroom door niches missing doors. //fixed //the added doors are functional, which alters the play space; made them stuck open
● Texturing/brushwork on lockers near grenades 1940 all messed up. //fixed, had to change to a different texture
● Door 1572 doesn't pass audio when open. //fixed, room brush issue
● Egg tripwires 508, 523 too large, trigger before player even opens door. //fixed
● Strip of wrong ceiling texture above bench 1285. //fixed
● Sourceless light above 893. //fixed, a light niche air brush already existed, but was stranded floating in air
● Patrolling bots getting stuck on bench 1283. //fixed, adjusted position of nearby AI-repelling plant
● Blinking anim light 88 causing door 971 to change brightness on other side from light. //fixed, removed blinking
● Room brush dead spot near camera 161. //fixed
● Added omni light in movie theater near screen that animates in sync with "projector" light, creating the illusion that the screen is reflecting light back into the theater.
● Dimmed internal light of broken replicators.
● No deco in Narco Stims shop (156). //fixed, added a "No Guns Allowed" sign
● No deco in DigiMedia shop (260). //fixed, added a "Sonik Tooth" sign
● No food (or lighting) in Quickfoods shop (241). //fixed, added a couple of overhead lights and turned the large empty niche into a fridge
● Floor texture in Quickfoods shop is a wall texture in the rest of this map. //fixed, changed to a more appropriate texture
● Anim lights in stim unit area could use an upgrade to use smooth pulsing. //fixed
● Light 365 needs Unlit property removed. //fixed
● Security camera tech screen near 1007 misaligned. //fixed
● Strip of wrong texture on ceiling near 672. //fixed
● Door 1430 closing sound gets cut off. //fixed, room brush too small
● Replaced wedge light 242 with hanging light 1194 for better consistency.
● Fake door near -220, -360, -8 would open to a room overlapping another already existing room (which does not have a back door). //fixed, deleted it
● Doors 1576, 1577 not lit equally. //fixed
● Rotating mall signs ping-pong instead of wrapping. //fixed in gamesys
● Sourceless ceiling light near 259. //fixed
● Hanging plants 1319, 1334 embedded in ceiling. //fixed, lowered and added vertical pipes as supports
● Xerxes Christmas shopping announcement triggers twice. //fixed, also added delay so trigger location isn't so obvious
● Security camera 83 doesn't rotate. //fixed
● Make the unhacked NarcoStims replicator (757) dispense the rare hypos (strength, speed) instead of cigs, grenades? //done; used prices from eng2 replicator (485) for strength hypo; speed hypo not available at any other replicators so used slightly lower cost than strength; verify that Timed Grenades are available at some other replicator
● Would be nice to toss a couple of the unused heart-shaped pillows (-1398) in the Sensual Stim Units area. //done
● The extreme ramps near the movie theater could use hand rails on the walls. //fixed

Command Deck
command1.mis
● Buttons 686, 722, 723 backward. //fixed
● Shuttle shields 278, 279 can be walked through. //fixed; had no physics model, most likely because the shields are elliptical and Dark doesn't support elliptical collision models. placed two overlapping invisible sphere physics objects inside the shield. Also enlarged the shuttle bay so that the player can still get around now that the shield is actually physical; added some more wall/ceiling lights to compensate for larger room.
● Shuttle shields 278, 279 hard to see. //fixed, added extra light property, made use additive alpha
● Shuttle shields 278, 279 could use the "shield" sound effect. //fixed
● Shuttle 2392 collision model sucks. //fixed, divided physics modelling for shuttle between two objects instead of just one, so now the nose region can be narrower than the main body; unfortunately this also means that each object has its own hitpoint pool for destroying the shuttle, but the shuttle has so few HP that it hardly matters
● Shield generators 285, 315 bounding boxen way off. //fixed
● Egg 759 not destroyed by shield overload explosion if it hasn't already opened. //fixed
● Shuttle bay force fields 1296, 1297 can be walked through. //fixed, added collision box

● Bulkhead door 331 needs to be moved down to Z:-36.9 to match corresponding door on command2.mis side. //fixed
● Recommend deleting or moving female corpse 108. It has no loot, and is most likely an accidental multibrush clone of Delacroix's corpse in the cargo bay right next to it. //fixed
● Corpse 392 in cargo bay named "Delacroixbod", but Delacroix loot actually placed on different body in same cargo bay, corpse 91. //fixed, deleted "extra" body and gave its loot (broken gun and ammo) to actual Delacroix
● Delacroix corpse 91 has a psi hypo. This makes no sense since she doesn't have a psi amp. //fixed, moved the psi hypo to the empty crate near her
● In the shuttle control area, there are keycard readers (80, 81) on the inside of the shuttle bay access doors, but no way to open the doors from the other side if you haven't already unlocked them. //fixed, added buttons to open inner doors 242, 804, which you can't reach unless you've already used the shuttle bay keycard to get through the outer doors
● Door 2052 motion sound ends before door finishes opening/closing. //fixed, sped up door a little bit
● Jorge in Shuttle Bay 2, on left and right side of bottom lip under windows that look out over the shuttle. //fixed
● Door 71 has vis blocking plane. //fixed, was set as closed instead of open
● Window 1180 laying flat instead of placed in its terrain niche. //fixed, looks like original author gimbal-locked it and gave up
● Added animated dynamic light to Korenchkin psi wall 1270.
● Cleaned up sloppy brushwork/texturing in bulkhead (near sign 335).
● Near button 200, missing corresponding (nonfunctional) button on the other side of the door. //fixed
● Anything tossed into the "up" umbilical gravshaft is lost forever. //fixed, objects now elevatored to rick1.mis
● Very easy to overlook view of Rickenbacker through window 1180 because it's so dark. Recommend adding some blinkenlights along the shaft to draw attention to it. //fixed, added blinky lights; Too bad the view looks nothing like the umbilical shown in the intro.
● Wall pods 2348, 2349 need to be replaced by a proper goo pod (currently is grub pod with a goo script slapped on it) to avoid issues. //fixed
● Grav shafts to Rickenbacker are spaced farther apart than on rick1.mis. //fixed, made spacing consistent
● Tram wedge lights 545, 563 placed in solid space. //fixed, moved down so they're visible
● Eggs 1030, 760, 2351, 889, 605, 2352, 464, 1520, 1184, 759 missing egg ambient sound. //fixed
● Shuttle bay overhead lights hang too low for shuttle to take off without smashing into them. //fixed, replaced with shorter hanging lights
● Door 2052 closes on player. //fixed, deleted Door Timer Duration
● Tripwire 415 in Rickenbacker up shaft seems to do nothing. //moved out of shaft path
● No QBR in this level. //fixed, added a broken one to explain why such a big level has no QBR (might delete later, this is a pretty big addition)
● Log 2380 very easy to miss behind swarm pod. //moved to the right a bit so it's more visible
● Spiders 791, 792 leave a solid invisible object where they start patrolling. //fixed, somehow had physics submodels set to 3 instead of 2
● Cargo Bay A doors open too far, not perfectly aligned in niches. //fixed
● Cargo Bay A doors will close on player. //fixed, removed door timers and replaced with a set of tripwires; can still close on player if they stop precisely between the close tripwire and the crush-prevention tripwire, but at least it's better than before
● Cargo Bays A & B (as referred to in Delacroix email to you), incorrectly given signs "Shuttle Bay 1" and "Shuttle Bay 2". //fixed, created new sign graphics/models cargo_a & cargo_b and assigned to existing signs 371, 661, 674, 675, 952, 953.
● Shuttle Bays A & B incorrectly given signs "Shuttle Bay 1" and "Shuttle Bay 2". //fixed, created new sign graphics/models bay_a & bay_b and assigned to existing signs 930, 948, 954, 955.
● Could use a couple of "Cargo Bay" floor arrows to hopefully catch players trying to find Delacroix in the Engineering cargo bays. //added next to "Shuttle Control" floor arrows 624, 625
● Texturing of shuttle bays doesn't match the texturing of the other shuttle bays in the game. //fixed'ish
● Doors 242, 804, 839, 841 setup with card readers and buttons and auto-open triggers is rather problem-prone. //fixed, set them up like normal locked doors with card readers on both sides of all doors.
● Shield generator 315 highlights as frobbable. //fixed
● Looking at shuttle 2392 with shield up displays "Shielded Shuttle", but not consistently. //fixed, was sometimes casting past shield and showing look string for the shuttle even while the shield was up, so just changed the shield name so it consistently displays "Shuttle" regardless
● Destroyed shuttles could use some black smoke wisping off them. //added, yeah!
● Plant beds 144, 150 can be walked through by AI. //fixed, set to block pathfinding
● No hall lights near sign 439, though there logically should be. //fixed, added some inactive lights
● Broken replicator 359 doesn't display failed use message when attempting to use. //fixed
● Replicator screen 364 has joint tweq on it for no apparent reason. //deleted
● Dynamic light added to Korenchkin psi wall should be moved to archetype. //done (actually replaced with a different, less goofy object)
● Comp-pad 151 a bit too high. also a small triangle with an incorrect texture on the ground right under it. //fixed
● Light 873 doesn't really fit between the grav shafts. //fixed, moved to top of grav shafts like it is in the other cargo bay
● Wrong texture under object 151. //fixed
● Main elevator off-grid, not centered on elevator door. //fixed
● Main elevator doors open too far, close too quickly. //fixed, were set to close after 3 seconds instead of the standard 10
● Main elevator has no room brush of its own. //fixed
● Immobile big grey TriOp crates don't cast shadows. //fixed
● Korenchkin psi wall 1270 makes no sound when hit. //fixed, this object was completely jacked up; apparently originally intended to be a door that opened and closed under script control, but they couldn't get it to work, so they just teleported it in instead; replaced with an invulnerable version of the standard psi wall
command2.mis
● Player factory marker should be moved to start of level where it belongs. //fixed
● Buttons 271, 471, 1017, 1018, 1037, 1038, 1039, 1057 backward. //fixed
● Worm goos 1380, 1381, 1382, 1384, 1385, 1386, 1389, 1390, 1391 backward. //fixed
● Worm goo 1352 floating away from wall. //fixed
● Worm goo 1284 partially embedded in wall. Geometry here means it's probably not possible to lay flat. Recommend replacing with a Worm Goo 4 (-2501) flush against the ceiling. //fixed
● Cleaned up sloppy brushwork/texturing in bulkhead (near sign 308).
● Door 296 has vis blocking plane. //fixed, was set as closed instead of open
● Added brush light near spotlight 245 to light up its niche.
● Escape pod 301 jumps to a slightly different position when it launches. //fixed, precisely centered pod and its elevator paths in the launch tube
● There's an inescapable pit that can be reached by mantling the ledge near wrench 270. //fixed, deleted the pit brush
● Compad 1468 at knee-level. //fixed, moved it and the screen above it up to more waist-level-ish.
● Modified windows 546, 1978, 1979 to block sound while intact, pass sound when broken.
● Modified worm piles 620, 623, 648, 793, 791, 792 physics model from sphere to 2.25x2.25x0.5 box so player can walk over it.
● Added dripping water to showerhead 236.
● Replicator 649 off-grid, top chopped off by an air brush. //fixed
● All lifts around master lift could use rails in the wall, for consistency and to more clearly indicate which floors each lift moves between. //fixed
● Level starts with three protocol droids patrolling in upper officers' quarters area. This is profoundly obnoxious to listen to while exploring the lower area. //fixed, now teleports the droids in when the player climbs the ladder to the upper quarters
● Upper officers' quarters area doors have multiple issues: some open too slowly, some missing room brush for door slide niche, some have incorrect trigger setup, some don't open to correct position. //fixed
● Private room near desk 2279 has no personal effects locker. //fixed, made locker niche and added broken locker
● Private room near chair 2091 has no personal effects locker. //fixed, made locker niche and added locker containing loot that was laying on floor
● Windows 1477, 1962 in center of upper officers' area quarters; none of the other three bunk rooms have glass in the center. //fixed, majority rules, hid the windows
● Lifts 2148, 2150 backward, elevator path nodes too high. //fixed
● Button-operated doors 1069, 1016, 1019, 470 never close/cannot be closed after player opens them. //fixed, now close automatically
● Cigs 428 embedded in wall. //fixed
● Champagne bottles 425, 426 supposed to be standing up, fall over in game mode. //fixed
● Replicator 649 has part of its top erased. //fixed
● Tommy and Rebecca and a rumbler all hanging out in that tiny medical bay at the start of the level makes no damn sense. //fixed-ish, added an open ceiling vent to suggest that's where the rumbler came from
● Tommy Suarez (1948) visible standing still during cutscene. //fixed, out of player view until he starts moving now
● Teleport trap 1552 teleports rumbler in embedded in floor. //fixed
● Trigger delay 160 waits longer than necessary to teleport rumbler. //fixed, changed delay from 30 to 20 seconds
● Door 145 has no guide rails. //fixed
● Lift 2170 should start raised, to correspond with Tommy and Rebecca having just used it. //fixed
● Water sounds 192, 193 come from wrong speaker when walking past them in a certain spot. //fixed, room brushes were all hosed up
● Pipe 1947 invisible. //fixed, centerpoint was in solid
● Wedge wall lights 1941, 2017 above hallway in solid. //fixed, brought them back into world, but broke them so they don't cast light
● Enhanced Tommy & Rebecca escape pod launch. Added door 837 closing as player approaches, pod engine exhaust, animated light from engine exhaust, and player shaking as shuttle launches.
● Auto-repair unit 2217 floating. //fixed
● Most console stations on the bridge have screens where the keyboards should be. //fixed
● Rickenbacker access card falls down inside its glass enclosure, making it easy to overlook. //fixed, positioned propped up instead of floating
● Portal jitter near hologram 1276. //fixed, brushes under hologram creating eye-level portal split, shaved a bit off the top
● Camera 2515 audible from next floor up (near sign 288). //fixed, room brushing in this area was all screwed up
● Air gap at bottom of grates 1613, 1617, 1621, 1625. //fixed
● Rendered no-model object 1550, near where Korenchkin brain appears. //fixed, made non-rendered
● Workstation chairs 1597, 1601, 1605 and 1577, 1585, 1589 far too close together to be sensible. //fixed, deleted a chair from each set
● Rail channels for lift 1470 too deep. //fixed
● Light 146 shining down onto a screen, which makes no sense. //fixed, deleted the light, created a new light over the conference table to maintain the light population, and enlarged the formerly redundantly illuminated screen to make it more useful for presentations
● Open pit elevator shaft from ground floor up to bridge is a gosh dang falling hazard. //fixed-ish, added doors at the top of the shaft that automatically open when lift approaches; still need to have them close when the lift goes back down
● Chairs on bridge all positioned too perfectly, no indication of all the chaos up there. //fixed, roughed 'em up a bit
● Grub emitter 1287 causes grubs to appear in mid-air. //fixed, moved emitter down and adjusted spawn properties so they appear to be leaping from the nearby body

● Added doors to Korenchin's toilet/shower. The rest of the toilets cannot be fixed this way, will have to think of something different.
● Needs dripping ambient added to or near 1531. //fixed, ambient dripping sound is so low-frequency that I added two of them
● Needs searchable psi reaver projection fix applied to Korenchkin. //fixed
● Psi wall on command1 removed by death of psi reaver projection 161 instead of psi reaver brain 189. //fixed
● Killing Korenchkin psi reaver brain 189 drops log 1584. This makes no sense. Why would there be a log inside his brain? //fixed, deleted corpse link to log, made log teleport in nearby when Korenchkin appears on bridge
● Railings 256, 258 penetrate door niches. //fixed
● Railings 255/257, 256/258 z-fight where they overlap. //fixed, added a little z bias

UNN Rickenbacker
Rickenbacker general
● Korenchkin log 11.JUL.14, "Re: Rapture", should be using the psi reaver portrait instead of the human Korenchkin portrait. //fixed

● No damage decals in the supposedly blown out area of the ship. //fixed'ish, added some
● Can't jump through broken window 390. //fixed, removed physics
● Spawn marker 2142 has somehow acquired Render Type: Normal, which causes a floating wedge in-game. //fixed
● Door 409 moves out of room brush when opened. //fixed
● Room brush 193 (6647) floating in middle of another larger room brush with seemingly no reason to exist. //deleted
● Many flesh breaking windows sequence only plays if player takes ladder. Can be easily missed by climbing nearby terrain instead. //fixed, added a second trigger spanning the entire climbable side; also adjusted the window breaking delays from 0, 1, 27 to 1, 6, 20 (there was some weird incomplete stuff here)
● Visible should-be-invisible entity just past torpedo launch room. //fixed
● Some janky texture alignment on the floor ramps approaching the "low head room" area. //fixed
● Huge crate 790 jumps when lift turned on. //fixed, wasn't aligned with elevator path 1542
● Huge crate 790 makes mechanical noise when raising, even though it's being lifted by a grav beam. //fixed, changed schema
● Player can push button to lower huge crate 790, then run to the other side of before it lowers all the way, becoming permanently stuck on the Rickenbacker. //fixed, added a crate control button on the other side
● AI can shoot through huge crate 790. //fixed, attached a second physics wall to the far side of the crate that only AIs collide with
● Button 1540 activates teleport traps 1043 and 1044 that do nothing. //deleted them (AI signal sent to teleported rumbler is "ArachRun"-- player was probably originally swarmed by four spiders)
● Button 1540 setup is a weird mess. //fixed, replaced mass destroy of various traps with a once router
● Invisible explosive barrel 1560 used as AI marker... which can still explode if it receives splash damage. //fixed, replaced with a normal marker and updated Signal Response destinations on bot 2113 and rumbler 2243.
● Rumbler 2243 teleports in in view of player and in mid-air. //fixed
● Space shield 1840 causes some objects behind it to not render depending on view angle. //fixed, added Alpha 1.00

● Nanite pile 2097 laying on floor next to empty body bag; probably supposed to be inside it. //fixed, added Contains link
● QBR 526 texturing messed up. //fixed
● Screwy sound propagation in Nacelle B. //fixed
● Junction boxes 647, 648 backwards. //fixed
● Junction boxes 618, 619, 620, 631, 627, 623, 840, 878, 828, 1133, 1289, 1290, 1291 upside-down. //fixed
● Junction boxes catch player since their physics boxes don't line up with that of their conduits. //fixed, changed to sphere physics model so player can push past them
● Can can get head stuck walking through 612 from the Nacelle B side, requiring crouching to get through. //fixed, lowered floor on Nacelle B side to be same height on both sides
● Steam jets 703 and 705 emit from blank sections of wall. //fixed, moved to emit from pipes
● Can get stuck walking under grate 739. //fixed, made passageway a little less tight
● Grates 738, 739 block red light that's probably intended to illuminate their respective passageways. //fixed
● Red light between grates 738, 739 has no apparent source. //fixed, added a couple of cylinder lights
● Turret 1632 very difficult to walk past without destroying it. //fixed
● Door 1201 niche top exposed to player view. //fixed
● Nacelle B uses same texture on walls and floor. //fixed, gave it a proper floor texture

● Spawn marker 1681 somehow became visible. //fixed
● Pipes 1340, 1341 don't reach ceiling. //fixed, extended ceiling
● Weird pointless pit near object 2117. //fixed, changed the floor to a grating so it could be some kind of drainage pit
● Dripping water 1267 particles disappear before reaching water. //fixed
● Grates 1213, 1216 wrong size to have covered the gap that they're laying near. //fixed, resized grates
● Room containing object 2181 way too freaking dark. //fixed, changed grates 183, 184, 186 to allow passing light
● No visible light sources for brush lights in room containing object 2181. //fixed, replaced with object lights
● Particle systems 1214, 1206 not centered in niche, too large for niche. //fixed

● Added some particles to grav loader 300 to more clearly indicate its function in lifting the crate
● Medkit 907 propped up in niche but falls down flat in-game. //fixed, missing location/rotation
● Very easy to fall to death off ladder 532 when dismounting from top. //fixed, made floor opening smaller
● No floor texture on ramp leading to door 612. //fixed
● Note 7_6:"Reverse the Gravitronic Generators in order to safely access Pod 2." only gets added if player picks up log 1801. //fixed, made tripwire 327 also add note
● Note 7_3:"Proceed to Pod 2." added before player has activated gravity control. //fixed, replaced weird QB filter setup on tripwire 327 with simpler once-only tripwire; moved addition of note 7_3 from email trap 326 to new QB Set 2245.
● Gravity control 754 lacking physics model. //fixed
● Gravity control 754 only device in the game that's activated by frobbing a button. Everywhere else in the game you frob the devices directly. //fixed, made button invisible and enlarged it to enclose the gravity control (this is how the fluidics control computer was done)
● Can frob gravity control 754 (actually hidden button 500) multiple times. //fixed
● Gussied up wall that gravity control 754 is attached to (object model has some pipes coming out the left side that weren't connecting with anything)
● Sound trap 1366 plays nonexistent schema "em806". //fixed, deleted, correct schema was "em0806", which already gets played when entering Nacelle B
● Some sort of sound should play when activating gravity control 754. //fixed'ish, currently playing schema "act_nacelle" via XP trap 1353
● Added a small HP clip behind pipe 746, because there's no other loot in Nacelle B, and if anyone manages to get up there and look behind that pipe, they deserve to find something.
● Railing 969 should be using the broken railing model. //fixed, replaced with broken railing 2246
● Moved med bed key 2121 back a bit so you actually have to enter the area it's in to get it.
● Added dynamic light and corona to sparks 331.
● Halved size of exterior lights 550, 551 to make ship view out windows seem larger.

● Something broken in salvo 212 launch sequence. Seems to be set up to fly out a distance and then appear to explode, but instead it just vanishes after a few seconds. //fixed
● Radiation corridor past salvo 212 conspicuously lacking in set dressing. //fixed, spiffed it up a bit
● Sound propagation near doors 1201, 1271 all messed up. //fixed
● Doors 841, 1201, 1271 can close on player. //fixed
● Door 316 not centered in its hallway. //fixed

● Door 409 closes on player. //fixed
● Player can get stuck near/under grates 507, 508, 509, 510. //fixed, removed physics from grates and replaced with a single physics object, raised the roof
● Turrets 617, 2103, 2109 blast each other if you try to hack any of them. //fixed, blocked them from seeing each other
● Cluttered intersection-- air vent 1856, nanite pile 2153, viral prolif 1782, wall pod 2144, and corpse 1669 all crammed within a few feet of each other. //fixed, scattered things out a bit
● Turret 2105 barrel can pass through window when tracking player. //fixed, moved away from wall
● Turrets 2107, 2138, 2140 floating. //fixed
● Wedge light 956 set unrendered. //fixed
● Room containing egg 515 seems empty and pointless. //fixed'ish, changed floor texture so it at least feels somewhat different
● Reoriented floor textures in Nacelle/Pod access maze to match hallway direction.
● Changed brush lights in giant hole area to blue so the force field appears to be illuminating the area.
● Resized/refloored wrenches 490/769/1304, viral prolifs 1771/1782, etc.

● Recommend moving pipes 1088 and 79 one unit left, to make jumping/mantling around a bit less tedious. //done
● Egg 518 repositioned
● Nearby grates physdims Z set to 1, to prevent the player from getting stuck should he attempt to newmantle into the pipe crawlspace
● Fixed some more lights sinking into walls.
● Screen p0030 near chair 216 needs V:49. //fixed
rick2.mis
● New obj scales applied.
● Upgraded steam to bitmap particles.
● Light 513 backward. //fixed
● Upside-down turrets rotate the wrong direction to track their target. //requires a custom upside-down model to fix //done, rick2_b5 uses the new model, and the issue is fixed
● For the bot that spawns from nowhere when entering the chapel, perhaps add a nearby monster closet to explain its appearance. //done
● Slightly decreasing gravity on this map makes the annoying jumping puzzles much easier to manage, and is easily explained in-universe by the screwed up gravity generator. But, this might be too much of a change for people to accept in a baseline patch. //done, changed gravity to 90%
● Made sure all objects are properly floored to the ceiling, also repositioned the ladders in the sickbay as their orig position made no sense.
● Room brushes in chapel not completely covering the area. //fixed.
● Could use some blocked-off fake passageways to make the deck seem less ridiculously small. //added a couple off each elevator room
● Re-adjusted the ladders (110), now should be possible to climb up or down more easily.
● Player factory marker 710 nowhere near level start. //fixed
● Door 91 can close on player. //fixed, deleted door tripwire 92, expanded tripwire 93 to cover both sides
● Door 184 can close on player. //fixed, deleted door tripwire 245, expanded tripwire 244 to cover both sides

● Worm piles 1509, 1513, 1516 broken. //fixed
● Security glass 513 has VB logo on it. //fixed; scaled up so VB logo inside wall
● It's physically impossible to have gotten that crate next to Diego's bed. Would make more sense to have a wall locker there. //fixed
● Hand rail 1083 in Diego's quarters very easy to get stuck on in that confined space. //fixed; removed collision
● Picking up worm launcher 510 in Diego's quarters gives 20 CMs. That's great if you actually want it, but makes it too easy to miss out on 20 CMs if you've already decided you don't care about exotic weapons. //fixed; awarded CMs on unlocking Diego's quarters instead
● The silly Worm Launcher display rack in Diego's quarters is incredibly gamey. There's no logical reason why that would exist. //fixed, put a desk and chair there, moved the Worm Launcher to leaning in the corner in the upper area.
● Added one unreachable wrench in one of the cryotubes, to explain the one that has been added at the beginning of many.mis.
● Wrong color brush light near screen of escape pod pilot screen (green instead of amber). //fixed

● Restore overhead windows in escape pod. //fixed
● Replicator missing niche on upper-left side. //fixed
● Sourceless light near -694, -49, 281. //fixed
● Sourceless light near sign 607. //fixed

● Half the wedge lights not positioned properly. //fixed
● Sec comp 624 floating off wall. //fixed
● Some of the grey TriOp crates (-1234, etc.) fall through the gratings when perturbed. //fixed, just made them all immobile
● Animated texture on that table thing near obj 1092 could use a slight repositioning - U13 V5 seem to work ok. //fixed
● Respawning in this map makes zero sense. Literally the only way in or out is the elevator. Plus the player deserves a break before plunging into the BotM. //fixed, disabled respawn ecology by changing Ecology 117/Script/Ecology/Normal Min from 1 to 0.
● Engine core not centered on room it's in, various other asymmetry in its construction and lighting. //fixed
● Tracks on wall behind engine core, seems obvious a ladder or lift was planned at some point. //added a ladder on wall, cleaned up the texturing and object placement up there to be more presentable, dropped a maint tool on the platform below the top
● Tweaked some texturing to better match this area in shodan.mis.
● Broke up floor sections a bit so floor texture could better align with each area.
Body of The Many
many.mis
Note: Since the player enters the Many from the Rickenbacker, and exits it to the Rickenbacker, logically all the "ship" locations in the BotM should be representative of the Rickenbacker. In the original version of this map the ship locations are a mishmash of both Von Braun and Rickenbacker texturing/props/lighting. An attempt has been made to rectify this, even though it means making significant alterations.
Note 2: The BotM is an infamously rushed, sloppily constructed level, so we allowed ourselves a somewhat more free hand in modifying it to bring it up to snuff.
● Now that the engine supports fog, an environment like the BotM should be foggy. //done, added some subtle fog
● Most dripping goos need to be repositioned slightly, as they are usually sunken into the surface. especially apparent with Vurt's dripping goo. //fixed
● Dripping goo objects too bright. //fixed in gamesys; texture set fullbright in model, so made transparent

● Worm piles 393, 394, 396, 397, 399, 767, 777, 780, 781 broken and need physics corrected. //fixed
● If for some crazy stupid reason a player launches himself into the BotM with no weapon, should maybe place a wrench somewhere before the first membrane //done, put a wrench inside one of the escape pod cryo tubes
● Player receives just as much damage from slamming into flesh as from slamming into concrete or metal. //fixed in gamesys, halved impact damage from all flesh terrain textures
● Player factory 308 starts player facing wrong direction. //fixed

● Egg 490 not searchable. //fixed, had TriggerDestroy script on it for no apparent reason, and Scripts flag set to not inherit
● Vein 194 catching player and AIs. //fixed, deleted physics and AI path avoid
● Vein 627 has no collision, but if did, would really interfere with player/AI movement. //fixed, moved up out of the way

● Busted pipe 1692 floating away from wall. //fixed, also adjusted physics dims
● Railing 1713 penetrating crate 1418. //fixed
● Railing 33 can seriously tangle up player. //fixed, removed collision
● Searching corpse 839 triggers swarm release an infinite number of times. //fixed

● Replicator 68 has broken screen and emits sparks, but works perfectly. This is confusing. //fixed'ish, removed sparks
● Replaced window 354 with a triggered Many-breaking-window sequence.
● Chemical storeroom should have a "Chemical Storeroom" sign. //fixed, added one
● Door laying on floor near replicator 68 is a Von Braun door. //fixed, deleted door and changed nearby doorway to a broken security door
● Door 755 has window, but blacks out view when closed. //fixed, removed "blocks vision"
● Door 755 opens in the wrong direction for its door type. //fixed
● Hanging light 844 not Rick deco. //fixed, deleted and replaced with wedge light 1542

● Organ 1480 hidden beneath floor. //fixed
● Very easy to die by being shoved into nerve 607. //fixed, removed collision
● Von Braun door 764 should be a Rickenbacker door. //fixed
● Crate 763 floating. //fixed
● It's a bit silly that the Rickenbacker room containing midwife 1403 is at exactly the same floor level as the adjacent Many room. //fixed, moved down a bit
● Rooms containing lights 930, 934 much too dark. //fixed, increased light
● Sound tripwire 353 can be walked around, plays too close to boss room. //fixed, moved so it plays as player falls into big pool
● Redundant ambient sound 1446 near teeth 338, 361. //fixed, deleted
● Teeth 338, 361 can interpenetrate. //fixed, moved elevator path 342 up

● Teeth 338, 361 move out of range of all lights, become dark. //fixed'ish, added Renderer/Extra Light
● Redundant ambient sound 1450 near teeth 46, 314, 315, 319. //fixed, deleted
● SS2's jumping physics are so ill-suited to Super Mario 3D platforming that it's hard enough to even navigate across the teeth without also having to worry about getting crushed to death in the process. //fixed, upper teeth in main chomping room no longer come down far enough to crush player
● All floor-rising teeth awkward to navigate around due to them actually having a rectangular collision box. //fixed'ish, replaced boxes with a stack of spheres and a flat platform on top, added a kill-o-zap at the bottom of each tooth shaft in case player manages to work their way past the physics objects
● Nerve ladders 1382, etc (tooth puzzle room) cannot be smoothly climbed because they're a stacked group of individual ladders. //fixed, made nerve ladders intangible and set up a single invisible ladder object on top of them
● Added vein near vein 902 so player can walk directly between orifices without having to jump on teeth. Only available on Easy/Normal.
● Added nerve ladder leading to sphincter 970 so player can get from floor to room exits without having to jump on teeth. Only available on Easy/Normal.
● Cyst 931 can be clipped through. //fixed
● Room containing body 885 contains no light source. //fixed
● Made pool containing corpse 294 more interesting.
● Light 852 floating away from wall. //fixed

● Psi reaver brains 107, 108, 343, 678, 728 floating. //fixed, attached to the rear of their niches
● Psi reaver brain 107 can be pushed around. //fixed

● Added scream tripwires 1352, 1550, 1611.
● Eggs 55, 167, 159, 165 missing sound. //fixed
● Can jump on top of muscle column 618. //fixed
● Midwives 1467, 1469 nowhere near any eggs. Midwives should only be in the BotM near eggs. //fixed, replaced with shotgun hybrids 1616, 1467
● AIs can sometimes get on top of tooth 338. //fixed
● Loot 1465, 1466 almost impossible to see. //fixed, added dim light nearby
● Replaced plastic bag 486 with debris 1631.
● Greater psi reaver brain 107 should have unique name string. //fixed
● Added extra gibs to greater psi reaver brain 107.
● Added spooky ambient to vein 733.
● Nerve cluster 124 difficult to destroy from below. //fixed, raised floor a bit under it, adjusted physics box to better match its dimensions
● No ambient sound in room with light 620. //fixed, added ambient to the light
● Updated all Many lights to emit light slightly offset from their centerpoint, to match the position of the part of the model that's supposed to be the light-emitting part.
● Lights 220, 724 floating. //fixed
● Added small secret area containing some minor loot.
● Made all orifices, egg depositors, and sphincters subtly animate.
● Updated weapon and ammo scales.
● Added object Many lights for most brush lights that obviously had no physical source.
● Membranes 710, 711 need to be indestructible. //fixed
● Membranes 710, 711 could use rushing water ambient. //fixed, added schema ma_water
● Water behind membrane 711 should be moving. //fixed
● No ambient sound in egg chambers off birthing chamber. //fixed, added to lights 930, 934, 935.
● Added electrical hum to light 1558.
● Goo drops launch with slight sideways velocity. //fixed in gamesys
● Hack crate 1423 model laying on side, but model has no bottom. //fixed, turned right-side-up. Can lay on side again if fixed model available. // v47: yes, as the fixed model will be included with SCP, and the cover part poking out of water doesn't look too great after the (standing) crate is hacked.
● Maybe add a hazmat suit in the first part of the map on easy and normal, many newbies won't have enough rad hypos and healing items, this usually leads to incredible frustration, and can even get the game into an almost unwinnable state. A hazard suit would allow them to go through the radioactive swimming part with whatever little resources they have available. //done, added hazmat suit 1695 on Easy/Normal
● Greater reaver not too obvious as the miniboss he is. Maybe add some glow effect to make it more obvious to the player that he probably should be wary of that guy and his shots. Which probably shouldn't look the same as normal reaver shots, btw. //greater reaver projection already bigger and different color from standard reavers; made shot look different
● Lights 628, 634, 889 could use repositioning. //fixed
Where Am I?
shodan.mis (STRIPPED)
● 1274 needs to be floored. //done
● The geometric shapes that fly out as SHODAN takes damage should not be seen before the screens break //seem to be fixed, but double check to be sure, elev paths 370 and 341
● Players sometimes get stuck in the SHODAN pit forever. Somehow bypassing a trigger perhaps? //made the trigger slightly larger, even though I doubt it has been possible to bypass it
● Perhaps use the light-based transparency property on the red assassins. //added, let's see if people like or even notice it
● There needs to be some way for players to replenish their ammo before the final boss fight. //added the Rickenbacker bridge replicator, sticking out of the goo
● No sound when cyberspace platonic solids 1226, 1227, 1309 damage player. //fixed (required both map and gamesys tweaking)
● The difference between the damaging and non-damaging cyberspace platonic solids should be more obvious. //fixed, added anim dynamic light; also hooked into router 755 to destroy them when the player launches into the final boss fight so they're not still using up dynamic light slots
● Recharging station 1249 needs light offset updated. //fixed
● Rickenbacker texturing on section near lights 998, 999 different from rick3.mis. //fixed
● Rickenbacker section missing floor arrow pointing to bridge door. //fixed
● Rickenbacker bridge missing wall computer screens. //fixed
● Rickenbacker engine core missing security computer. //fixed, made unlit and non-frobbable
● Added a grey TriOp crate sticking out of the goo over toward the deck entrance.
● SHODAN head's protective damage field radius too wide, and damages player silently. //fixed, fixed
● Rotating force field around SHODAN head looks awful because the segments "rotate" by teleporting around to 8 fixed positions. //fixed, they actually rotate now
● SHODAN head shots often slow down while passing through the rotating shields. //fixed in gamesys, horribly
● Ambient sound 1210 for final boss room only triggers within a small radius of one of the four possible teleport destinations. //fixed
● Mono warning about objects 409, 410 being out of room. //fixed
Known Issues
The stuff we haven’t gotten around to yet.
station.mis
● When the shuttle flying around the station is far away, sometimes its exhaust renders in front of it.
● Door to training shuttles takes a different amount of time to unlock depending on which career you’ve chosen.
eng1.mis
● Core access console 459 continues to display “Radiation Leak” even after radiation flushed.
eng2.mis
● Too many damn protocol droids spawning in the main corridor.
● Compass (if enabled) doesn't disappear during Many vision
● When Many vision ends, interface re-appears too soon.
● Breathing ambient from Many vision keeps playing after it ends until the player moves.
medsci1.mis
● Start room forcefield disappears when looking at the bottom of it from close up.
ops2.mis
● Elusive dead spot in audio near Xerxes column.
ops4.mis
● Door 264 not on automap.
● Door 250 in wrong position on automap.
rec2.mis
● On automap “INSET UPPER LEVEL” is actually a lower level.
command1.mis
● Sound propagation up first ramp from door 476 screwed up.
● Need to implement object elevatoring from command1 to rec1.
● Walls shown on automap near starting area are completely wrong.
rick1.mis
● The blown-out "six subdecks" is currently little more than a giant rectangular air box. It looks more like the ship was built that way than the massive devastation asserted by the logs. We should be able to do better than this.
rick2.mis
● Maintenance shaft ladder to Sickbay goes up, but logically it should be going down since the level is inverted.
rick3.mis
● Worm goo 626 sticking out from under Diego's quarters door gets lit by blinking light on other side of door. This looks really odd.
● Possibly trim down the very long SHODAN voiceover when player arrives, which was obviously written around a planned but nonexistent cutscene.
many.mis
● Texture alignment on most of the cylinder brushes in the map is terrible. But oh god there are so many of them…
● There is just one lonely Greater Psi Reaver in BotM (read: in entire game). Although he drops an organ, the player has no way of researching it unless he knows what chemicals to bring (and even then, it really has no meaning, as there are no more greater reavers where the damage bonus would apply). Might consider changing Korenchkin into a Greater Psi Reaver.
● AIs spawned from pods 490 and 661 can't pathfind to player due to water flooding the area
shodan.mis
● Delacroix log warns that, "SHODAN has spawned her own versions of the Von Braun's horrors... remember, they are virtual, they are not real... do not assume anything about their strengths or weaknesses". But all we got were red assassins that act exactly like red assassins.
● There needs to be some way for players to replenish their ammo before the final boss fight.
Modding
SCP adds several new object, terrain, and particle textures. These have been created to fit in with the resolution and color depth of the original assets. Any modders who’d like to include upgraded versions of these textures in their own texture upgrade packs, please feel free to do so.
If you’re creating a mod that uses DMLs, note that all SCP maps set the mission-level qvar “
scplevel” to 1. This value can be used in a DML fingerprint block.
SCP uses the original explosion bitmaps, but they’ve been moved to their own objects to allow their duration to be independent of the other explosion effects (in the original gamesys, the entire explosion object is deleted the moment the bitmap animation completes). Bitmap explosion frame rate in SCP is 20 FPS. The following objects may be DML patched to modify this:
● Incend Bitmap (-5435): re301_
● Harmless Bitmap (-5452): re301_
● Disrupt Bitmap (-5463): re308_
● StandExp Bitmap (-5446): sexp
To add elevator muzak to the Von Braun, replace
snd/amb/elevator.wav with any WAV or OGG file you’d like. An example music file is included in that folder. Remember to keep the file size reasonable, less than 10MB or so.
To add elevator muzak to the Rickenbacker, replace
snd/amb/elevrick.wav, as above.
A custom skybox can be added to the space station level. The SCP version of station.mis uses a new skybox,
station, that’s a duplicate of the standard space skybox.
