This pack contains the original release (M4) AND AN UPDATED VERSION (M5) of the MelPyth mod. Contains new weapons (shotgun, sniper rifle, M79 grenade launcher, revolver), new functions, new commands, new textures, new sounds, 3rd-person perspective, and more. Note: This mod requires AvP Gold Edition and an older graphics card and/or OS in order to display the levels properly.
M4, the original release, may still be found online in some places, but M5 has never been released. This is the ONLY place to get it. Both versions were developed by Melanikus and Python. TO INSTALL: Add the contents of either mod to wherever you have AVP installed. Read the read_me for full details. MANY THANKS TO MELANIKUS FOR MAKING THIS AVAILABLE TO ALL!!!!!
This is the original website, I recommend reading it if you're interested: Melpythmods.atspace.org The website lists some "black projects" lost and that they're "still up to bring back from the dead some creations that were hidden in the release" of M4. The changes in M5 are most likely what they were talking about.
