Angels Fall First: Planetstorm is an objective-based assault game fought both in space and on the ground. Featuring totally original art and completely new game types, we take you from flying gigantic capital ships, piloting fighters, and manning turrets to the traditional vehicular and infantry combat, both planet-side and inside the starships themselves. At your command are more than two dozen ships and vehicles, including all original weaponry, 3 maps with full bot support, two custom characters, with more on the way. This is a <b>total</b> conversion mod in the fullest sense of the word. Welcome to Planetstorm.
Welcome one and all to the next exciting release from the AFF: Planetstorm team. This build has been designated our BETA version, and focuses mainly on getting all the core features slick and playable, and we believe we've done that. This release is also our first to fully support online play, and we've had a dedicated server donated by CozmicShredder which we fully expect to see you all playing on in the coming weeks.

Looks like huge improvement over previous version.
Will download soon.
Nevermind.
Fileplanet is not an option. Same for some... unholy site.
I'll wait for good mirrors.
Likewise. Any reason it's not uploaded to moddb?
Honestly, we're still holding out for the RC3 version, which will hopefully be available in the next few days. It has some last minute bug fixes. So... if you guys can handle a wee bit more time waiting. It would be for the best to avoid having to redownload versions. :)
Nevertheless, if you guys have the bandwidth and/or the patience you can try out the RC2 version for the moment.
Apologies for the confusion, we're pretty much reduced to a bunch of frazzled devmonkeys the last few days. :P And as always, thanks heaps for the support.
Cheers. I'll wait for RC3 so I can provide more relevant feedback. Looking great, though.
take your time with a mod of this scope spending more time on it is always a good thing.
My bad, sorry guys. Patch will be done as soon as is appropriate. We just want to make sure there's nothing else horrific in the next couple of days.
ps cozmicshredder doesn't bite. We would not be working together otherwise :)
Angels Fall First RC2 is now on ModDB.
Yep. ModDB already updated the article to reflect that. :)
yeah I did it :P
So epic...
Life is right again :)
Waou, thanks =D
We'll play it tonight, it looks great.
Oh my god... It's coming...
It was about time :P
Thanks for your hard work :)
hey mischa can you get UnkSoldier to drop in, we have a new manual that could use some most-common translations, cheers.
LOOKING SICK!!!
Well, I tried it. This mod is really impressive, beautiful, awesome, great work guys.
Well, I tried it. It has no maps, I can only sit at the main menu, attempting to install it to normal UT3 instead of Steam.
install it in it's own folder, NOT in your ut3 install folder, eg as in the installer default or an equivalent on another drive
Running it as administrator worked :D... This mod is a lot of fun :)
Just got it running and what not. By the way Spycon, run it as an admin, it'll fix a lot of the issues.
A few things I want to say, looking at this and the alpha side by side, this is SO much improved. It's amazing. Now, the one thing that amazed me, is the size of the map. I was playing Errah offline, and forgot that it was just one map in a game. having 64 player battles there would be epic. Even better would be if you can get 128 players.
In the end, the mod is amazing, and once you get the faces and what not done, it'll be even more amazing.
Yep, character models will be in by phase 4 (as well as the high poly ships). The concept art for this release actually shows how the improved ULA troop model will look like. It's already modeled and awaiting texturing and rigging. More will come very soon. :)
I'm sorry, high poly ships? You mean these are high enough for you? :P Man, keep this up and you're going to kill my computer.
^-^ Yes. Remember our previous updates with the high poly ship models? Those will replace all the ship models currently ingame.
I will make your pc cry pixel tears
My PC cries tears in DX10, thank you very much :P
You know, most of those ships are still lowppoly. They just look so awesome because of ungodly texturing and bumpmapping skills ;P
well the models we have are from 2004, our homeworld mod. having high poly ships wont make things run any slower, we'll make sure they have LODs etc.
we wouldnt do shit if we couldnt do it wicked :)
This game is incredible! I love your vehicles and ironsights the most ;D
Man i love you guys! (No rlly bu i like the work you guys hav done :D)
grate job guys, wish some game companies would put this much effort into a game.
again grate job been looking forward to this for a long time now...
Caffeine drip in the vane and starting to play :D
Continues to get better and better. Superb models, textures and look guys. Great work.
some advice if you are runing windows vista dont install on the same drive as the OS, it will cose problems.
could we have the symptoms and steps to reproduce the error please? :)
symptoms: Dose not save settings.
dose not detect any maps in the game.
reproduce the problem: install vista and then install the mod on the same drive as vista.
How to fix: install on different drive :D
the problem is all the stuff on the drive vista is installed is read-only unless you run as admin, but seems AFF dont like to be runed as admin(got an error)
we have several members running with the mod installed on the same drive as vista, it may be a problem with only your setup. i dont wish to dismiss your problem, go check out our forums for support - but i dont wanna scare vista users with only 1 drive.
Sounds like UAC is interfering to me. Does it happen with UAC disabled?
Whenever I try and play online it just throws me into a Unreal 3 game... not the mods anyone else notice this?
Support depends on the filename of what you downloaded. Sounds like a RC1 issue, not RC2.
ahhh! all I did was go downloads and get the alpha >.< lol
Yes, the server browser for UT3 will do that. You'll need to hit Join IP and enter the information.
nice mod...
will this work for the ut3 on steam?
Certainly. I work on ut3 Steam, on vista 64, to try and make it hard for myself :p But the game loves it on here.
I'll give a look into it.
Iff it didnt work with the Planetstorm launcher or a normal link try adding this :
"X:\...\Steam\steamapps\common\unreal tournament 3\Binaries\UT3.exe" -mod="C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\Affgame" -solomod
using the full path might work
Waaaaaaaaah!!!!! I can't find my copy of UT3!!!! Waaaaaaaah!
cant help you with that one. have you checked down the side of your couch?
