Abandoned Town is a cryengine1 map set in a city like Pripyat. Technically more a map than a mod, it is composed mainly of non-vanilla objects. City buildings, streets and ambience are all inspired by STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl. The city landscape has been created by moddb member Vikom, and is largely complete. I will be doing the completing, ie Mission.lua, radar points, triggers, screen text, save points etc., plus my own ideas and add-ons.
Start of work on the mission.lua: tabbed Objectives and radar points.
I temporarily changed all Vikom's environment settings to make it easier to work on. I'll restore the STALKER ambience again later.
This video is already obsolete. Working with the basis of someone else's work is going to take some compromise. Vikom intended this map to have hard combat requiring stealth and cunning to survive, with no radar points to lead the player by the nose. My mapping style is light on combat, and heavy on objectives with radar points to spoon-feed the player. So I must try hard to respect his vision for the map.
