I think that it is great!

 

Thanks

 

It's very nice, way better than what I could make. I liked the police part as well.

However, chapter 2 was weird, I just drove to the sawmill and then to the big house. I guess there should have been some text or something when I arrived at the sawmill? It's almost as if chapter 3 was baked in there too.

Chapter 3 then was almost the same thing but ended too soon. The last checkpoint was in the town, however chapter 4 starts near the big house.

Chapter 4 was unplayable until I restarted the game. The major always hit the big plant.

In chapter 8 I'm delivering coal. The point where you get the coal is very easy to miss in chapter 7 because the checkpoints are so close to each other. Had to play it again to understand where I got the coal... Also I couldn't find the last checkpoint in chapter 8?

And yeah chapter 9 is hard on less powerful hardware, like my laptop. It was still pretty interesting and well done.

The 3-star rating I gave is "Average" rating, as it says when you rate a resource. Yes, I would still recommend it and will give a better rating if it's fixed or if it turns out the problem(s) is in my end. Also I'm impressed by the file size

 

Yes, you're right about chapter 2. That makes me feel quite dumb now. I am in the process of fixing this as I have realised that I have missed out part of my script for this story! Chapter 2 was supposed to be about going to the coal station and being told that the coal and nuclear supplies were low. I'll have to redo that bit.

I am not sure about your concern with chapter 3 as it ends at the mayor's house with the police car, at least, from my end it does. Is this not the case for you?

Chapter 4 - the AI does like to do that. I have moved the location of the start point for the AI car so that it is nearer the road. That way it should get to its first waypoint in less of an offroad way.

I do agree with chapter 8, I have changed the display of the message for the coal to last longer. Typo in the waypoints name - sorry for it not being completed. I have also given a mention to the coal in chapter 8 so you are re-informed of what you have previously done.

Finally, "I'm impressed with the file size" - is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Thank you for this post, it is very much appreciated! (Update currently pending)

Downloaded the updated version and it's a lot better now! Chapter 2 makes sense But in chapter 3 I still finish in the town; there are only 9 checkpoints.
And about the file size... It's damn small! so a good thing

 

I had a look and you're right! For some reason (no idea what I was thinking), I put the correct waypoints in but then assigned the incorrect waypoints instead. This update should available soon

im in the parking lot on chapter 1... what do i do it wont show i went in it
--- Post updated ---
nvm it fixed

 

nice story, but carrying coal in a small car? i thought it carrying in trucks...

9 chapter: is it meant to drive offroad at start? and bricks doesn't fall on the ground, they fall on invisible floor in several metres up from ground

 

I do have a few questions:
Why do you have this time at night all the way through? It should change because you said "Sunday Afternoon," so you need to put the time on play
Also, did you know that red is an expensive color? You should make it blue. Blue is cheap.

 

This kid, Darthbob... Not only did you copy your old code, you barely changed ANYTHING. All you did was change the maps, the plot hole filled story, and routes! the orange car chase scene? copied. Red base car? copied. Generic dark blue and white stock cars parked? copied. Police chase? copied. Stop the bad guy from doing something bad? copied. Get your s#!t together mate! Don't be Treyarch and rehash your old content, make original content. I was very disappointed with the plot hole filled story line, and overall it is pretty broken, ugly, and boring. It looks like you made it in 1 day.

You have a choice at the start as there is no time limit Update coming through shortly should fix the above issues.

It begins at early Sunday and then (days do pass between some chapters) it slowly goes to night. By the way, it says "Sunday Morning in chapter 1". I don't put the time on play because I want it to be permanently that time.
I asked for the colour that people wanted in the last story and they said red so i went with it but thanks for the information
--- Post updated ---

Are you seriously saying that I can NEVER have another chase scene in a story? Please tell me I am wrong and you made a mistake there everwise I am concerned on your definition of original...

I did not choose the colour or car. The form, (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1AWt47j7TLIPkkb9ByJi2Ieoov234a-6MpNEHTIHix5E/edit#responses), was most popular with a red 200BX base edition.

I don't understand that. If you are saying that they appeared twice in story, then that is because two people own cars who go to the town meetings. Unless of course, in your ideal world, everyone buys a new car every day.

The base yes, but only because I got messages saying "do more of chapter 3 with the police!", and actually, you are ignorant to the behind the scenes. The code is actually different so it works better:

New:

"scenario_player1":
{
"driver":
{
"player":false,
"required": false,
"removeIfEmpty":true,
"ModeAI":"manual",
"targetAI":["WayPoint1"]
},
},


Old:

"police1":
{
"driver":
{
"player":false,
"required": false,
"removeIfEmpty":true,
"ModeAI":"chase"
},
},

So you're saying that Agatha Christie, the third most popular writer of over 100 countries who sold over 2 billion books worldwide is awful because she focused on murders for her books always? No comment...

"created personally by a particular artist, writer, musician, etc." - I personally created it and it took 32 hours to make. I would say it is original.

I'd love to see you make a story like this is 1 day. (Actually I wouldn't; I would get disappointed after you realised that it takes days to get a decent story together.)

So far I have unpicked your argument and you are now defined as "ignorant" and "moronic".
So, rant over; tell me, what is it that is actually wrong?

Heya! Just wanted to let you know - I deleted the old one and downloaded the one above and Chapter 9 still doesn't reset correctly for me. When I reset, the bridge is blocked so I have to reload the scenario... (July 1, 2016 - 12:45pm Central Time).

 

I checked the lua and that would make sense. I have uploaded a new one and it should be out shortly.
Thanks for letting me know
