The long awaited first release of the Rise of the Phoenix mod is finally here! Happy 18th Birthday Nightfire!
Thank you for checking out the Rise of the Phoenix demo!
This demo features the first mission of the mods campaign in its current stage of development, it is NOT yet finished.
Install instructions are included in the readme file.
If you encounter any issues please leave a comment here and I will try to help resolve them.
IMPORTANT!
You will only be able to play the demo if you have the unofficial patches installed, or have manually allocated more ram to your game. If you would like to install the patches, I recommend using the latest as that is what works for me. The latest patch can be downloaded from here: Nightfirepc.com
If you prefer to play the CD or patch 1.1 versions of the game, on your desktop shortcut (create one if you do not have one) right click on it and select "Properties", then in the "Shortcut" tab paste the following (without quotes) into the "Target" box:
" +console 1 -hunk 128 -heap 512"
Click "Apply" then "OK" and you will now be able to load up larger maps.
Thanks to click4dylan for providing this fix!
Changelog:
- 19.11.20 - Missing water model added to file
- 18.11.20 - Demo released
I can't be run. Appears the message runtime error r6025 pure virtual function call
Thank you for letting me know, I am working on a solution.
I get error Hunk_Alloc failed on 16165312 bytes
Than
Run time error - r6025 pure virtual function call
(Tried on 1.0 and 1.1)
Yeah I forgot that CD Nightfire and patch 1.1 can only run maps up to 10MB, which the demo is quite a lot over so I'll try to reduce the map size some more, but I hope I'll find another solution as well.
Quick edit. I found a copy that is not using discs. I installed the unofficial patch and it works fine now
Ah that's great! I hope you like it :)
im losing my mind with the 3 secret areas and 2 bond moves. besides there is a giand black box in the middle of the hall
Giant black box in the middle of the hall? Could you post or send me a screenshot please?
Which copy of the game do you have? Still I have the same error Run time error - r6025 pure virtual function call
The map is currently only playable with the unofficial patches that can be downloaded from nightfirepc.com, sorry for the inconvenience.

I found one secreat area and one bond move. I assume one bond move is the extinguisher in the kitchen and one secret area is the cellar but they dont register upon entry neithe execution
Oh gosh lol, I think I know what that is though. I've just checked and I forgot to include the pond water model in the zip file, so the I believe the black box is a missing model error. I will update the zip file now. Thank you for telling me :)
is it also true that the bond moves bond work and secret areas ? 0r am i just paranoid
Unfortunately the Mission Results menu screen isn't possible to achieve without another map to load after completing one (hence why Mission 9 in Nightfire's campaign doesn't have one and goes straight to the credits) so you have to count them yourself as you play, but you will get the music sting when you find a secret and also the 007 icon appears when you trigger a Bondmove just like the regular campaign.
no, because in the room at the ends. it says did you find the two bond moves and three secret areas in this level. i tryed everything but found only one secret area and one bond move. thats why im asking
You'll just have to keep looking aha :) Also zip with missing model has been uploaded so you won't have the black box anymore.
could you check it yourself i think they dont work properly please ?
I have played the level so many times for testing it lol, so I can confirm that the 007 icon and music sting will play when a Bondmove or secret is triggered.
any objections if i record the demo for yt ?
Not at all, go for it! I meant to do a walkthrough for it too but haven't gotten around to it yet lol, but feel free to record your own playthrough :)
ok, the big black box is fixed now.
Wich copy of the game I need? I have the same error
Run time error - r6025 pure virtual function call
The copy of nightfirepc.com with his patch run fine?
Yes, install the latest patch from nightfirepc.com if you currently have the CD version of the game and the map should work.
Thank you very much for your help. It runs very fine. It's a good demo. I hope the rest of the game be so good. Good work.
Thank you for playing and your kind words! :)
I also encountered the -hunc problem, which I could fix with the unofficial patch, (thanks for that!) altho the fps is a bit reduced, but that may be because of the large map.
Found 2 secrets already, I'll find those bond moves eventually!
Great work so far, really looking forward to the whole game! Keep up!
Yeah I know it sucks and I will try to reduce the map file size for the final version, and yeah FPS drop is probably due to that as well. Thanks for playing and your comment! :)
Kinda disappointing that we waited for a years for only 1 level :(.. But it was a nice experience. Great job
As stated this is the demo, the full mod is still in development and will feature a series of missions. Thanks for playing the demo :)
to make the map work on older versions of the game, use launch options -hunk 128 -heap 512
