Actually, RED-FROG (The lead worker on the mod) recently announed he'd managed to create monster-specific spawn points.

Perhaps a Mars Wars Defence Invasion gametype is coming.

Uh, I tried the Discovery Freelancer version.

The only problem is that my monitor's a 16:9 with a max. resolution of 1600 x 900. Thus, having it at 1680 x 1050 won't work on mine.

One question:

LAN support: Go or no go?

It's in the Modcast too!

We have a version of Geo-mod implemented, yes. Though, right now it's limited to the level of Geo-mod found in Red Faction II (holes in walls)

RED-FROG has also allowed for deformable terrain, too.

Hey RED-FROG, what models have been added to Mars Wars 2.1?

Because I made a Repta voicepack a while ago. You can use it if you want.

Here is the FileFront link: Files.gamefront.com

I just noticed that there's a line repeated in the mod description. The last line in the main paragraph is repeated for the closing line.

Don't sweat it RED-FROG. We're just grateful that you got as much done as you did.

Can't get enough of the robots in Mars Wars Invasion.

Actually, I don't have that access. Ask Goober.

*cough*Psychic Radar from RA2*cough*

To assist with the mod, I've been making MarsWars voicepacks, using RFII sounds.

So far, I've made the following:

- Security Guard (Male)
- Red Faction Member (Male)
- Marine (Male)
- Marine (Female)
- Red Faction 2 Announcer

All these can be found at Levels4You, the website where this mod was originally conceived.

Please note they said "6 vehicles". Because, Red Faction itself only had 5 ;)

Yeah, that weapon that fires through walls is called the Rail Gun. It's the Mars Wars equivalent of Zoom Instagib, with the added bonus of wall penetration.

The rail gun even gets it's own gametype: Rail Arena. One small arena, a handfull of combatants with railguns and enough ammunition to not worry about ammunition. Particularly fun offline, although the average players life expectancy is about 10 seconds, perhaps less.

Well, the main reason we haven't been able to get Mars Wars 1.1 released is that RED-FROG, the project leader, had moved house and lost regular access to an internet connection. Seeing as he and he alone had some of the most important features of MW 1.1, the release was delayed.

However, he now has internet access again, so Mars Wars 1.1 is back on track!

Well, as you all should know, Mars Wars version 1.1, the version where that nasty dedicated server bug has been fixed will be released hopefully within the next few days.

Until then, you can take a look at some screenshots of the 'new features' that inhabit MW 1.1 at the screenshots section of the Mars Wars website.

Perhaps you'd be better off talking to one of the other mod members.To be honest, all I'm here for is to upload new screenshots and stuff like that.

On a slightly unrelated note, in order to assist with Mars Wars even more, I am prepared to create a voice pack from RF2 sounds. Once I get permission from some other mod members, I'll release it, along with instructions on how to use it.

As it turns out, I can't make that voice pack like I hoped, as my version of UT2004 Voice Packager is having a bit of a 'temper tantrum' at the moment.

Seeing how it's Christmas, I'll upload some .oggs instead.

Did you turn off 'Weapons Hidden' in the options menu GigaByte? By default, it is set to 'on'.

OK Agent_, I can solve that.

1. By default, the game is set to 'Weapons Hidden', try going into the Options menu.
2. We haven't found a server willing to take Mars Wars yet, but we're trying!

Ick, sorry, it's just not Red Faction without the geo mod capable engine. Without being able to blow holes in the walls, it's just another FPS.

No, but Mars Wars features a close approximation, which I call Pseudo-Geo mod. Try looking at the picture in the gallery I call 'Idle Hands'

It counted my vote. Finally.

Oh, and where can I upload screenshots? I gots a few for you'se to check out.

It didn't count my vote!

Yo. Tyrranis here (You will know me better as Duke over at L4Y.)

Voted for y'all for MOTY!

Go MarsWars!!!

As my first act as a member of the Mars Wars mod, I have doubled the gallery count to 10. The latest 5 showcase the mods Vehicle Capture the Flag gametype.

Got 'em, to a certain degree.
