NEW UPDATE: I found a working fix that's worked for me for a few hours now. It's not a good solution but it works. Changing from directx9 to directx7 will get rid of the error. This is because directx7 doesn't have shaders in it at all so you can't use them. The game doesn't look terrible though and you'll most likely get better performance than with directx9 though. :D

Nevermind, didn't work. I'll keep trying though

I am doing further testing but I believe I've found a fix to the problem you're having. What I did was went into the module.ini and pressed CTRL+F and searched for "shader", I found an entry that said "load_shader" or something like that and I put a # in front of it. (which basically tells the game to ignore it)

If I may make a suggestion and if it's at all possible, maybe make the Tleilaxu turret turn enemies it's killed into contaminators or leech tanks?! :D That'd give it an amazing purpose, making it a "zombie" like the rest of the faction's units. ^^

Just restart the mission, sometimes it takes a few tries but it works eventually. The Challenge mode really isn't their main concern though at the moment.

I can't play with this mod, it always crashes towards the end of the loading screen. What's going wrong?

Hello, I'm wondering... Can you use the real cars pack 2 with the first one? Is it like a continuation or do you have to use ONE or the OTHER? o:

:D It's finally out?!? oh THANK YOU GUYS FOR THIS AMAZING CHRISTMAS PRESENT! Seriously, this is the best one I've gotten this year. :/

I haven't looked through the .BIG file a whole lot yet but from what I've seen, they haven't ever even made a flame general challenge map. If you're asking them to make one consider this: it will delay the project a lot longer for them just to make one more map for a general that (let's face it) doesn't really /need/ to be included.

I'm sure if you made a map and set it up and sent it to them they could implement it but if not, let them release the mod after they're done fixing the issues they /currently/ have with the challenge maps. I think many people have been waiting eagerly for this mod to release and I think not having the flame general map isn't a big deal to the majority. Not trying to be hostile or anything but it's just one small map, it doesn't ruin the game for me and it shouldn't for anyone because the mod still has a /LOT/ to offer besides the general's challenge. :)

What exactly are you saying? There should be no need to avoid plagirism. If you're going to modify the mod in any way, I think it's okay to do it for personal use but I'm pretty sure there is /NO/ way you're allowed to release /ANY/ parts of this mod anywhere else (whether modified or not) without the express permission of the Contra team.

It's good to see you guys are still making progress on the mod. :) I'll be checking in daily until you guys have it out. Take your time and thanks for the awesome mod. ^-^

There is a reason it's called a beta, the challenge modes are still buggy and aren't complete. They will be fixed when they get around to releasing 008 full version.

Just tried to install it, it didn't work sadly. :c keeps giving me an error "failed to start exe"

Thank you very much for replying. I'm looking forward to playing this mod at long last with the updated instructions. :)

From what I can see, you did an excellent job on it and I'm really eager to play! ^-^

Just curious, but are you still planning on uploading that new installer? o:

I've experienced worse fps at times to be honest, it seems for all the optimizations they did, they also changed things to make them even worse. >.<

I play the game nearly daily and have not once (I started playing in beta 2) have I seen anyone hacking. :) There are a few people who's accuracy might be a bit questionable but you're gonna have aimbotters everywhere you go I suppose, it's still really enjoyable though
