Mechwarrior: Living Legends *Warning Lots Of Images*

[mech]

MechWarrior: Living Legends (MWLL) is a total conversion modification for Crysis. MWLL is at its very core a mix between a First Person Shooter (FPS) and a Simulation (SIM). This will be achieved through the use of a mixed arms massively multiplayer gaming experience where the player takes part in a battle using a variety of vehicles and weapons. MWLL is using the concepts pioneered by the “Battlefield” franchise and more recently Crysis, of a sandbox feel where you get to play what you want and how you want it. MWLL depicts the epic struggles between the two factions of Battletech “The Clans” and “The Inner Sphere”. Maps will typically have a mix of vehicles and infantry combat, using both of these to complete objectives as a team will be essential to winning rounds or campaigns in MWLL. In the project we will be bringing some of the legends of “MechWarrior” franchise back to life with new art and animations that do justice to these huge weapons of war and also do something that’s never be done before using the deep universe of Battletech. There are so many facets to Battletech and finally comes a title that is willing to explore them

Took out all of the pictures because everything that was previously shown has gone through a drastic overhaul.

mech where is my beta :confused:

[InnerGoat]

Wanna run this in triplehead so badly

[itszutak]

THE ENEMY HAS CAPTURED PROTOTYPE FACTORY

Wow, that looks amazing- I just hope something's going to be done about the material on the mechs- it looks dull and washed out.

[mech]

There are no materials on them :tinfoil:

[Cortexian]

Heh, you're not getting it.
No really, where is it! :mech:

[InnerGoat]

Just wait until they release something sir!

[StankBacon]

are you guys gonna get rid of the original hud elements and have it all custom?

[mech]

No, why would we do that?


Wait yes.

[jngrow]

oLOL beachROCKSPAM.

Other than that, great lookin stuff, looks fun and pretty.

[Cortexian]

In all seriousness Mech, I'm willing to help out with any/all beta tests that I'm around for. I'm signed up on the MW:LL forums as of today, but I've been lurking for awhile. Are there any chances that oldfags like me from the CE community can have a spot on the testing team when the beta rolls out? Also, this is ONLY going to be for Crysis right? Not Crysis: Warhead?

I can't figure out who you are on the MW:LL forums either.

[mech]

This will be for both Crysis and Crysis Wars, we will more than likely be supporting the Crysis Wars version though.

Enjoy the screenshots, take note they're still WIP alot has changed since these shots were taken also.

[InnerGoat]

Ask him if he runs SoftTH

[mech]

Yes, I should say I did at first, and it did work on some games but was too unreliable. I am running on TripleHead2go digital now. I switched over because I wanted reliable gameplay on MWLL and I will never go back. Love having all that desktop space to open different apps, and the gaming is over the top.

Why do I see a Separatist starship in some of those pictures?

[Cortexian]

Why do I see a Separatist starship in some of those pictures?
No, kill yourself.

If you actually played the games you'd realize that that's basically a Mech drop ship. All resemblances end there, the Separatist star ships are like 100x larger.

I would but I don't have guns that go "pew pew pew." Maybe I should use one of those guns that go "clickity clackity" that cost hundreds more than the real gun.

Looks epic. Is it going to preform the same as warhead in terms of FPS, or be more laggy?

[Cortexian]

I would but I don't have guns that go "pew pew pew." Maybe I should use one of those guns that go "clickity clackity" that cost hundreds more than the real gun.
Maybe you should, because they're all cheaper than their real life counter parts... It's called gun prices in Canada -/- gun prices in the U.S. Get it right.

Still waiting on my pre-release beta build.

Welcome to the eighth overall and fourth weekly update for May of 2009, presented by the team of the Crysis total conversion modification MECHWARRIOR: LIVING LEGENDS.

Another week has passed and still the pace is high. In today's update we're bringing to you a 3D panorama view showing the interior of the Mech hangar and some more delicious playtest screenshots. If you liked the sound of this, you'll love what else we have: we've got confirmed beta content. No, it's not a release date, but it's a signal to you that release is not far out anymore. Last but not least, we've got awesome news from Crytek, too. Enjoy this update!

Experience The New Mech Hangar

In our Weekly Update V, the first in May, we presented to you the new Mech hangar. Today, we've got something very special: a 3D panorama experience of the construction bay level of the hangar. Download the file below and simply follow the instructions given in the included Readme.txt file.
http://www.mediafire.com/?zo2mzzmmmz4


Confirmed Beta Content: Solaris Arena Maps

Yes, we're finally getting close and while we are not yet ready to announce a release date, we're able to confirm certain content that will be available in the first official relase of MechWarrior: Living Legends. While we originally expected to have two, maybe three maps for the Solaris Arena game mode, we're now happy to announce that no less than five maps will be released straight away. These five maps can be seen on the screenshots below. If you're missing your favorite map here, don't despair: these maps are the ones closest to being done, but that doesn't mean the other maps will never see the light of day.

MWLL Presents: Crytek's Newest Employee

If you've just had a deja vu, rest assured: no, we're not short on news and recycling old announcements. The team of MechWarrior: Living Legends is indeed proud to again present to you Crytek's newest employee. While it hardly comes as a surprise to see another talented developer being offered a job opportunity in the games industry, the team is still proud to see another one from its ranks take the next step. While, like last time, Crytek's newest employee has the Tracy family name, this time, it is MWLL's Co-Lead and Creative Director Daniel "Kamikaze" Tracy who went all the way from Canada to Frankfurt, Germany, to work at Crytek.

Please join the team in wishing Kamikaze a great time and career at Crytek.

[Daishi]

Is that an Owens in bay 7? Also, I'm assuming the clan's hangars won't have a Federated Suns ensign?

Edit: Nevermind...I forgot about that article on crymod from December. (Daishi replaced with Kodiak) :(

[Cortexian]

Why do ALL of the lights work in the hangar? When's the last time you walked into some kind of military storage/operations facility and saw ALL of the lights working? Make some unlit/broken and it'll have an even more realistic feel.

They don't ALL work...if you look at the fourth one from the front, in middle, it's much dimmer than the rest. :P In the panoramic view, it's facing the hangar doors, looking up at about 50 degrees.

I'm talking shot out/burnt out bulbs and flickering effects on a couple every now and then.

Welcome to the ninth overall and first weekly update for June of 2009, presented by the team of the Crysis total conversion modification MECHWARRIOR: LIVING LEGENDS.

After last week's fairly huge update, this one is going to be a bit shorter. This time, we've got the textured Atlas, a short video demonstrating the time-of-day-settings on SA_Extremity and a new set of playtest impressions. Enjoy!

Textured Mech: Inner Sphere Atlas

It's only been a week since we presented to you the four variants of the Inner Sphere's iconic flagship, the Atlas assault Mech. Our artists turned out to be more productive than expected and finished the textures for the Atlas, which is why we're promoting this monster made of 100t of steel again this week. The following screenshot shows the Atlas' new clothes at different times during the day on SA_Clearcut.

http://mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/albums/userpics/10001/normal_3x_texturedatlas_01.jpg (http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/displayimage.php?pos=-413)


Progress Report: SA_Extremity

One of the most unique maps in MWLL's set of confirmed beta release maps, SA_Extremity is making excellent progress in the past days and weeks. While we expected it not to support the impressive "Time of Day"-features that Crysis offers, our level designers still managed to come up with a pretty impressive solution. Check out the short video clip below to see how the skybox changes during the day. The screenshot is a still impression of some of the new assets and terrain that Inner Sphere and Clans will be fighting on. The music for this video has yet again been created for MWLL by Mike Jennings from Sunpost Music.

Little update.

Progress Report: SA_Sandblasted

From the rocky realms of SA_Extremity, we're back in the sandy, hot desert of SA_Sandblasted. The screenshot below shows one of the bases which has received a number of buildings and other assets to create a real 'military base' feeling in all pilots when preparing to move into battle.

I'm really looking forward to this. Units are starting to form around a league for it already and I'm in Clan Diamond Shark, if anybody's interested. Oldest continuously active unit in the Netbattletech league, being active for about 12 years straight now.
Hate to sound like I'm advertising, but of course I am, but we're at www.clandiamondshark.com

Mech man, last time I knew you was when you suddenly got good at Halo ( :downs: ), and your CS style map.

Where the years gone bro?

Amazing work from your team and you mate. Really impressed with what you guys have done. =)

[mech]

Welcome to June's fourth and the twelfth overall weekly update by the team of the Crysis total conversion modification MECHWARRIOR: LIVING LEGENDS.


June has come to an end and wow, it's been a super-busy and productive week. Huge steps in terms of polishing and stabilising have been taken and we're proud to present to you one of the most extensive weekly updates we've had so far. We'll start out with the textured four variants of the Inner Sphere's Mauler and continue with various impressions from SA_Sandblasted. Again, a number of playtest impressions will conclude this update. We recommend to check them out carefully, because there are yet again exciting things to see: yes, it'll be possible to take certain vehicles under water and even fight there.

http://mechlivinglegends.net/images/stories/mwll_weeklyupdate12_header01.jpg

Four Variants With Textures: Inner Sphere Mauler

Early in April, we introduced to you this Inner Sphere's assault Mech. Finally, it has received its textures which we are proud to present to you today. For size comparison reasons, there's a Longinus in the screenshot and for reasons of completeness, the variants have been explained again.

Progress Report: SA_Sandblasted

One of the team's most recent additions, Rolke, is more and more turning out to be an invaluable asset when it comes to level art: many of the assets you'll see when playing SA_Sandblasted have been created or at least modified by him, who originally joined as a level designer but has proven his value as an environmental artist. Check out some of the most recent changes to MWLL's desert map on the screenshot and panoramas below. http://mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/albums/userpics/10001/thumb_sa_sandblasted_wu12_02.jpg (http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/displayimage.php?pos=-435) http://mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/albums/userpics/10001/thumb_sa_sandblasted_wu12_04.jpg (http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/displayimage.php?pos=-434) http://mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/albums/userpics/10001/thumb_sa_sandblasted_wu12_05.jpg (http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/displayimage.php?pos=-433)

[Joshflighter]

Those are some epic pyramid pictures!

[Jean-Luc]

I'm very impressed :)
PotC-style shot of mechs underwater FTW

[sdavis117]

Your mechs need flamethrowers. With built in scopes.

Nice underwater shots

[Teroh]

Loving the fact that you can buy the Owens right off the bat, but I'm a Clanner so I hope we get the Adder, Cougar, or Kitfox off the bat on that side.

[InnerGoat]

Sweet the Mauler is done! Time to shoot the arms off to make it a rabbit! :-3

You can purchase all of those with the regular starting cbill amount.

[Jean-Luc]

This thread is gonna make me go play Mechwarrior 4 again.

[mech]

Play Mech 3 instead :smugghost:

Play Mech 3 instead :smugghost:

Entire league that still plays it, although it's dying a bit now.

[Aerowyn]

Good GOD this is looking amazing. Holy shit, I'm definitely looking forward to this on release (it's the only reason I installed Crysis in the first place, hah).

Glad to see this coming together in a playable form, not to mention spectacularly polished. Cant wait to actually be able to play this sometime.

BBL, MW3.

<<<<Lights here, btw>>>>

[Phopojijo]

Gotta say this mod is getting me really excited... I've always been a *massive* Battletech fan...

Include swarm and swarm1 ammo ;)

[Amit]

So far, this is the most impressive CryEngine 2 mod yet seeing as most other projects have ceased development. Your team works diligently to get this done.

[Cortexian]

It's got a member from the CE community in it, if the others slack off he can just start ranting about how lucky they are to have a decent set of tools to mod with, because back in his day they were limited to a lame incomplete set of tools!

[Daishi]

Lame. Awesome work, I can't wait.

Welcome to this issue of the Weekly Update by MechWarrior: Living Legends, a Crysis total conversion modification. The delayed release and huge content make this update issue thirteen and fourteen, covering the first two weeks in July.

July is a already a few days old and development is still going at a steady and pretty high pace. This week, we've got something for you that has been demanded for quite some time: actual gameplay footage. The trailer, named &quot;Walking With Giants&quots, brings to you three and a half minutes of unedited, unscripted actual gameplay straight from the team's weekly playtests.


Trailer: Walking With Giants

More than three minutes of gameplay footage with music from the talented hands of Mike Jennings from Sunpost Music. Enjoy!

wheres the 1080p version

[mech]

Unfortunately my horse that recently died from obesity had the 1080p version on a USB inserted in it's anus, and there's no way for me to get it back since it was cremated. I'm still mourning the death of my beautiful horse. :saddowns:

[InnerGoat]

Oh i'm sorry to hear that.

Well back to playing crysis over 3 monitors cya

[Lateksi]

Holy shit, that beats the new Mechwarrior any day!

Wow, under-fucking-water battles? I'm sold.

[Joshflighter]

Wow, under-fucking-water battles? I'm sold.

:woop:

I never played a mech game before, apart of when I was like 9, and I tried the demo for a few min. This though, makes me want to play some. :D

Walking/running animations make me sad panda. :C

Welcome to the 15th Weekly Update by the team of MechWarrior: Living Legends, a Crysis total conversion modification, which covers the activities of the third week of July of 2009.

First, the team would like to thank everyone for the huge amount of attention that our trailer &quot;Walking With Giants&quot; from Weekly Update XIV received. Now, for this week's update, we're taking a look at the progress of SA_Extremity and you'll get to see the new jumpjet particle effects for battlearmor. As always, a couple of playtest impressions conclude this update.

Progress: SA_Extremity

As has been shown in our latest trailer, Extremity has received quite some care. One of the results is this lake near the middle of the map. One time, it'll be frozen over and passable while at other times, it'll be all water depending on the time of day.

New particle effects: Battlearmor jump jets

Just recently completed and already implemented: the new particle effects on battlearmor jumpjets were received quite positively during the last playtest.

Welcome to the 16th Weekly Update by the team of MechWarrior: Living Legends, a Crysis total conversion modification, which covers the activities of the third week of July of 2009.
This week's update introduces new particle effects for Mech core explosions - if you thought our former ones were huge, wait till you see the new ones - as well as a first glimpse at the new cockpits that are currently being worked on. As always, we're concluding this update with a few playtest impressions

Mech cockpits - Work In Progress

Just recently, a new member joined the MWLL Developer team: Gibbage, who will be working on the cockpits. Some of the results of this work are shown below: a couple of WIP shots of an Inner Sphere cockpit.



http://mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/albums/userpics/10001/normal_newcockpits_WIP.jpg (http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/displayimage.php?pos=-470)


New particle effects: Mech core explosions

Exploding Mech core are supposed to be monumental and impressive, which is why they're under permanent observation and examination. The result of this process is yet another updated set of particle effects. Check them out below!

That mech hangar shot is a beauty. I'm excited.

[mech]

Thanks, I forgot to poast. Those explosions look retarded.

[Teroh]

Thanks, I forgot to poast. Those explosions look retarded.
I gotta agree with you on that. Since when do rings appear way up in the middle of an explosion? Whatever. Hangar looks nice.

[Warsaw]

When they hit very high altitudes, that's when.

[Kalub]

You guys smooth out those running animations? Would also be cool to see the reaction of the feet contacting ground in the weapons/arms of the mech. That or seeing the upper torso jolt about.

Small things that would make this already fine looking mod look more polished.

[mech]

Yes, it was old footage. The problem has been fixed, those basic animations were for debugging purposes only.

[Kalub]

Sex, you can poast win naow?




I wanna see.

Welcome to the 18th Weekly Update by the team of MechWarrior: Living Legends, a Crysis total conversion modification, which covers the activities of the first week of August of 2009.
This week's update features the four variants of the Inner Sphere's Gunship Hawk Moth, the new base layout on SA_Inferno and of course another set of playtest impressions

Four Variants: IS Hawk Moth
25 tons don't sound like much for a Mech or tank, but they certainly are for a VTOL, in particular when it packs as much firepower as the Inner Sphere's Hawk Moth. All of the four variants feature missiles in one shape or another, but the additional weapons range from small beam lasers to an ER PPC or LBX10.



http://mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/albums/userpics/10001/normal_hawkmoth_4variants_01.jpg (http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/displayimage.php?pos=-482)


New base design: SA_Inferno
-OM-Sanyassi spent quite some time on making the bases on SA_Inferno appear more realistic and actually 'populated' with the help of our environmental artists. The results of these efforts can be seen in the screenshots below.

Welcome to the 19th Weekly Update by the team of MechWarrior: Living Legends, a Crysis total conversion modification, which covers the activities of the second week of August of 2009.

This week's update features the a lot of texture work on the Clans' Mad Cat/Timberwolf and Vulture/Mad Dog Mechs as well as the fully textured and implemented cockpit for the Inner Sphere's Owens.

Textures done: Weapons, Mad Cat & Vulture
A lot of texture work has been done these recent weeks and some of the results are shown in the screenshot below: the Gauss rifle is no longer a black box and two very popular and iconic Clan Mechs have received their new outfits: Mad Cat/Timberwolf and Vulture/Mad Dog hail in their new shiny glory.


http://mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/albums/userpics/10001/normal_textured_vulturemadcat_triplet.jpg (http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/displayimage.php?pos=-487)


Cockpit done: Inner Sphere's Owens
Not long ago we presented to you the WIP shots of the work that's being done on Owens' cockpit and while talented 3D artist Gibbage already has moved on to another cockpit, we'd like to present to you the fully textured and implemented controls and instruments. Please note though: at this time, this is decoration and not the actual HUD.

[SnaFuBAR]

I really think you guys should have done something more interesting with the cockpits. They're sorely lacking in creativity. You can make the player feel so much more involved and drawn in with a better cockpit design. Get some inspiration from sci-fi movies, real cockpits, something. Set up an image board of what inspires you and work off of that.

[Cortexian]

Holographic HUD's in the cockpits please.

This week's update features texture work on some of the Inner Sphere's war machinery: the popular Bushwacker can't wait to show its shiny new clothes to all of you! In addition, we'll take a closer look at some of the bases on SA_Inferno.

Textures done: Bushwacker

After several weeks with updates on Clan war machinery, here is yet another representative for the Inner Sphere - the popular medium class Bushwacker has received its textures as you can see on the screenshot below.

SA_Inferno: More details on the bases

As explained and demonstrated in the most recent updates, we've put quite some thought to how our maps and in particular the bases could be filled with more life. The bases on SA_Inferno are still receiving a lot of care and detail work and the screenshots below show some of that. http://mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/albums/userpics/10001/thumb_sainferno_bases_wu21-01.jpg (http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/displayimage.php?pos=-502) http://mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/albums/userpics/10001/thumb_sainferno_bases_wu21-02.jpg (http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/displayimage.php?pos=-501)

Playtest Impressions

Again, here are a few pictures from this week's playtest.

Welcome to the 22nd Weekly Update by the team of MechWarrior: Living Legends, a Crysis total conversion modification, which covers the activities of the first week of September of 2009.

This week's update will be very brief and small. A major part of the attention is currently being directed to tuning, optimising, bugfixing... which simply can't be shown in pictures. The main content of this week's update features a comparison of how two locations in our maps evolved

Before and after: level locations

The two screenshots below compare two locations on SA_Inferno as well as SA_Sandblasted the way they were presented to you months ago in the advent calendar with what they look like today. We hope you like the progress and the way things went as much as we did when we compared the shots.

Welcome to the 23rd Weekly Update by the team of MechWarrior: Living Legends, a Crysis total conversion modification, which covers the activities of the second week of September of 2009.

Welcome to September's second weekly update featuring the finalised cockpit of the Clan's heavy Mad Cat/Timberwolf, some of the most recent changes to the desert battlefield of SA_Sandblasted and yet again a couple of playtest impressions. Enjoy!

http://mechlivinglegends.net/images/stories/mwll_weeklyupdate23_header01.jpg

Mad Cat / Timberwolf: Cockpit view

You've already seen the cockpit of the Inner Sphere's Owens, this week we're presenting to you the cockpit of the Clan's Mad Cat / Timberwolf.

SA_Sandblasted: New skybox

The screenshot below document the current skybox on SA_Sandblasted, which has recently undergone further detail improvements to appear more realistic and increase immersion.

[Jean-Luc]

Sandblasted's sky is friggin incredible. :iamafag:

[Ganon]

the cute little colorful buttons/lights in that cockpit are disgusting

[SnaFuBAR]

A lot of it looks good but the cockpits, you guys really seem to fall apart. The madcat's cockpit looks like a gay disco gumball machine :/

[mech]

Is it a cute gay disco gumball machine?

[Sel]

wheres my beta??

[Cortexian]

wheres my beta??
.

[Moses]

Looks like I have to get Crysis now. >___>
You and I both. Looks like I can finally bust this out for the first time as well

[TeeKup]

Son of a bitch I want that. D:

[mech]

I actually looked on newegg to see if they had it, but they didn't :(

[sdavis117]

There was an old Mech game that came with a massive controller. It was practically like someone ripped it right our of a mech cockpit.

Fuck yeah.

[Cortexian]

I remember seeing that awhile ago, looked really neat... I wonder if my friend still has his? I already have the cable conversions required to make it USB.

[Moses]

Already saw that thing a LONG time ago. Tbh, it's more complicated than a game controller should be. I mean, Jesus, you could Hotkey everything in max AND photoshop to the damn thing. It's got 2 damn joysticks for crying out loud. I'd use it for playing 2 player slots in the same emulator but that's just me :-D

[Ganon]

I mean, Jesus, you could Hotkey everything in max AND photoshop to the damn thing.[/shot]

modeling with that thing :pcgaming:

[mech]

We have testers using the Steel Battalion controller, it's perfect for any mech sim.

[paladin]

How much is that?

[Warsaw]

One and a half arms and a leg.

[mech]

Haven't updated this thread because I'm a lazy ass, but this is a old debug animation bug we had.

Okay, we know you can stand on top of a mountain and take a photograph. Now show us this terrain you are talking about...

Wait, that's it? That. Is. Wonderful.

:golfclap:

[BobtheGreatII]

Wow, could have fooled me.

[Daishi]

Just a screen of our amazing terrain.

That's not a photo? Are you serious?

Holy shit.

[Con]

How was that made?

[InnerGoat]

15 minutes in cryeditor 2 or whatever its called!

[Disaster]

World Machine 2

http://www.world-machine.com/

Its an advanced terrain creation software.

[mech]

We used geocontrol 2, Conscars. The creator of the program let our team use it and provides us with its updates. His name is Cajomi, he's a real nice guy.

http://www.geocontrol2.com/e_index.htm

[Disaster]

Ahh. Geocontrol. Thats quite interesting.

[Higuy]

I remember toying around in the demo of that before, cool app.

[klange]

So I hear the beta is coming soon (http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/forum/index.php/topic,5862.75.html)?

[mech]

yeah

This Mod is really something special. You guys will enjoy it when it comes out, and I'll be raping you all.

[Daishi]

I will be playing it on release. Nice ad on mektek btw. :D

I'm still sad the daishi/dire wolf didn't make the cut. :(

[Roostervier]

i hear there are hoaers in this mod

[Cortexian]

i hear there are hoaers in this mod
At random intervals they come from every direction, brutally pull you out of your mech, and thrust their gigantic hoaers dicks into your BUM!

[Roostervier]

what

[mech]

A hoaers would never do such a thing.

[Amit]

This could possibly resurrect Crysis' multiplayer component.

[mech]

It's for sure going resurrect the mechwarrior online gaming communities such as NBT, mekmatch, ISwars, tll, mwl etc. We have a huge mechwarrior fan base.

[Inferno]

I'm actually glad I own Crysis for once. Holy hell.

Can't wait to play this. Modacity game night btw.

[Ganon]

Is this horrid game in the bargain bin yet

hopefully mechs fixed it

[Amit]

Is this horrid game in the bargain bin yet


Crysis wasn't a horrible game...

I'm sure you can find it cheap somewhere.

[Cortexian]

*Watches as Cease and Desist shows up just before release*

[mech]

Won't happen since we have documented permission to use the IP.

[Amit]

Holy fuck, nice.

[Warsaw]

I dunno if Crysis does that by default, but the water on the windshield is a [very] nice touch.

[Inferno]

This could be mechs xmas gift to to everyone. And his hoaers.

[Con]

How come the water doesn't reflect the mech or the scenery?

[mech]

I think it's because of the water's tesselation.

[=sw=warlord]

I dunno if Crysis does that by default, but the water on the windshield is a [very] nice touch.
Crysis doe's that by default, same as when your in snow areas it frosts the screen.

[BobtheGreatII]

I couldn't figure out if that's on the glass, or if it's just the regular water though. Care to tell? because if it's on the glass then that's impressive.

[mech]

It's a hud effect, it's identical to getting shot and blood being on your screen; only it's water.

[Warsaw]

Crysis doe's that by default, same as when your in snow areas it frosts the screen.

p cool bre. I've never played Crysis, and I doubt I could support that effect if I did install it on my computer.

Just like I couldn't run this mod very well. :smith:

[Con]

Yeah, this mod looks beautiful but I won't be able to enjoy it to its fullest extent with this hardware.

[Amit]

Yeah, this mod looks beautiful but I won't be able to enjoy it to its fullest extent with this hardware.

Good enough. At least you can play the game on Medium-High settings.

[mech]

Just found out our reflections work on the water on our level Marshes, it's best generated using ocean water. But, if you do so other wise you have to set the water's update quickly( milliseconds) or the image will update very slowly in the reflection.

During a playtest today I was able to see nuke explosions reflecting off of the water.

[BobtheGreatII]

It's a hud effect, it's identical to getting shot and blood being on your screen; only it's water.

Yes I understood that. But is it on the glass?

[mech]

Well if it's the Hud, then no, it's not on the glass.

Can we see some Air-to-Ground combat operations for tomorrow?

[mech]

No, but you can see it when the mod is released :)

[Yoko]

I actually asked for Cryshits for xmas just for this mod do not disappoint mech

Any scheduled release date or just "when we get done?"

[Ganon]

I'm assuming it's just private betas until everyone thinks it's perfect

[mech]

It's going to be an open beta, hopefully released before the end of the month.

Once the beta is released be sure to post any bugs/glitches etc on www.mechlivinglegends.net (http://www.mechlivinglegends.net) . They should make a beta bugs forum when the mod is released.

Bushwacker cockpit is currently incomplete, just a first look at our hud WIP

[TeeKup]

You've given me a perfectly reasonable excuse to go out and burn 700$ on a new computer mech, why would you do such a thing.

[Lateksi]

You've given me a perfectly reasonable excuse to go out and burn 700$ on a new computer mech, why would you do such a thing.

This... You guys are seriously creating one of the best mods ever. Well, at least one of the best looking ones. (Haven't played it yet duh.)

[Bastinka]

I still prefer the DeLorean Crysis mod over this :saddowns:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZAaKH0FYO8

[mech]

I prefer a time of day changing car over this too!

[Amit]

OMFG! LRM madness!...IN THE FUCKING NIGHT!

The HUD looks pretty awesome and I can't wait to see what else is added/changed/refined for it.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

beta NAO!

[Amit]

Fuck yeah that vid was badass. Underwater Pirates of the Caribbean sequence motherfuckas!

Finally the installation instructions. Please DO NOT FORGET TO REPLACE ACTIONMAPS.xml with the example provided in the download.

Installation


Requirements

Crysis installed and patched to 1.21
Directions

Upon downloading the mod you should have an archived directory.
This directory should be extracted to your Crysis install Directory which usually looks like “C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis”
Replacing Action-Maps

In order to get yourself up to date with the latest key commands to access all the functionality you want, you will have to grab them from the latest XML file provided in the MWLL BETA v.1.0 archive entitled.



1) Beta Testers - after installation, copy the file "example_actionmaps_for_joystick.xml" (EVEN IF YOU DONT USE JOYSTICK)

2) Paste this file to your Crysis profile found in - My Documents\My Games\Crysis\Profiles

3) You will have to paste to both profiles (if you have another one besides the default Crysis)

ensure you do this in both the default and YOUR PROFILE directory
My Documents\My Games\Crysis\Profiles\default\actionmaps.xml
My Documents\My Games\Crysis\Profiles\Criminal\actionmaps.xml

4) Finally delete your old "actionmaps.xml" and rename the copied "example_actionmaps_for_joystick.xml" to "actionmaps.xml"
Launching the game

You may launch the game using the MWLL Laucher
MWLL Launcher.exe is contained in Crysis\Mods\mwll folder
Alternatively you can add a –mod mwll in the target of a shortcut to the crysis executables. It will look like this “"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Bin64\Crysis.exe" -mod mwll”

[InnerGoat]

ugh too early i'll have to join you tomorrow :D

[Cortexian]

Downloading now, will attempt to break your mod with triple-monitors!

[mech]

Will be in the mechwars SA_Sandblasted server 20 cap if anyone wants to get their shit pushed in :realsmug:

[Cortexian]

I can't play on version 1.2.1 because every time I tick a box, change a setting, or adjust ANYTHING, the game crashes. I've tried all the fixes I can find online but it just doesn't work, so I'm stuck on version 1.2 unfortunately...

[mech]

Something is severely fucked with 1.21, it's been crashing lots of people. However, if you edit your video settings in C:\Documents\MyGames\Crysis\game.cfg

Edit the settings in notepad++ or notepad
