Official TC-Rescue Discussion Thread

[hppav]

This thread is to discuss TC-Ops' latest release, TC-Rescue!

Download from The TresCom Homepage!

OMG!
So this is what the Ops were doing...
Is it just me or are the forums very quiet lately? But strangely, the main site hasn't been active like this in years.
I'm going to try this new level now.

EDIT: Impressive, but there isn't much to do but to explore and it's not as big as TC_Isle.
I must say, getting out of the water at the beginning isn't easy and same thing for getting on the boat/crane thing.

[hppav]

Yeah, the forums are a bit slow lately. Draco is all but gone, all of the "n00bs" have also appeared to have disappeared, and we're down to two or three posts a day from non-Ops members.

[Dragonlord]

By the way, the alternate download URL seems to be down. At last it lead into nowhere for me. The FilePlanet one works ( well... if you consider FilePlanet to work... not for me... <.=.< )

[Draconisaurus]

Aha! So this is what became of TC Cove.. pretty neat I must say, if obviously quite unfinished. I'm curious what that bunker will be used for.. and that crane. But yeah, some pretty neat stuff in here I must say. (One thing I would add asap is a main ambiance loop.. it's far too quiet.) Well done on all the new models (does credit for that go to Rebel or Remdul?), and this actually makes more sense as an exit to TC_Isle than TC_River, haha..

A note:

Although TC_Rescue was developed under the version of ATX which is included with TC_Isle, it can be run under ATX2.

Actually, TC_Isle RC1 uses ATX2.06, IIRC... so this note is either redundant or someone built it on the old TC_Isle release. *shrug*
I'm also curiuos why additive TPAs were not used in place of asking the user to manually update his/her audio files, but I suppose this way we also have access to the original sounds for our own use..



As for forum activity. JPFan, Tyrannus whatever, and another member or two are not currently posting and I believe that accounts for almost all of the lack of posts. This just means our activity is now more focused on actual progress on Trespasser projects. I've currently got a couple things in the works that may be released soon.. and I am enjoying the tone in the latest mainpage updates; let us see if we can actualize it here in the forum. Sam, I'm going to hold you to those screen of the week updates.

Really nice level The only complaint I have is that I couldn't find any dinosaurs... Is this because I made something wrong or the level is like that?

Oh, and by the way... Then I started playing TC_Isle, and when I finished it I appeard on TC_River... Green! That was really funny. Anne looked like a monster-woman.

[Rebel]

Well, there are no dinosaurs in level - yet. It's early alpha-builds; normally we'd only hand out alphas to other ops members for feedback and testing. This time around, we're releasing our early level builds to the g.p. as well. (The first alpha release of tc_isle consisted only of a few trees and the terrain and ocean in place!)

*Getting out of the water is a snap (look for the small stepping rocks - hippity hop).

** There's something in the ocean alongside the docks that'll help you get onto to Icabod (crane-barge).

*** By no means is the isle as large as tc_isle. You could consider tc_rescue the conclusion of tc_isle - what happens after she goes for her swim.

Drac, I actually forgot about the additive tpas. Me bad. The crane was modelled by Remdul and although MiketheRaptor doesn't know it, he's actually helped as well by leaving a few useful models behind that I was able to alter and then use. The others, I modeled -

We appreciate the interest shown, especially since alphas are far from finished products.

Maybe not...perhaps we could spin that into a community level?

My bad. I was thinking original TC_Isle release. Had the original release separated from the newer releases.

[THEL1NK1N2]

I'm currently downloading the level as well. Won't be able to play it for some time though, due to a lack of time.

We, the G.P., appreciate it.

Yes, me too... I downloaded it several days ago, but haven't had the time yet.

[Second Illiteration]

This IS rather exciting

[Draconisaurus]

Cool @ models, wow now I'm wondering what of Mike's was left behind.. *sighs in missing Mike* He's got a couple cool things that will be in JPDS1, too..

machf, it doesn't take more than 10-15 mins Max to get through the whole level, and that's only if you're being slow and methodical on the first time like me. You can see everything in about 5-7 mins if you run around fast - just be careful not to let the hot stuff get you.

Lol there's some enthusiasm for you

========SPOILER WARNING=========

• Did you go in Icabod? (That's a very big part of the level.)
• Did you use the SPAS?
• Did you get entoxicated by the little geysers?
• Did you jump in the lava?

[/color]==========SPOILER ENDS===========

If you do all that, it takes more than 15 minutes.

[Rebel]

I can't argue the fact that rescue is much smaller than tc-isle, though as more content is added, they'll be more to discover, play with and explore (not to mention, eventual combat).

With each release, they'll be more to check out. The Icabod is far from finished.

[Draconisaurus]

Go in Icabod, uhhhh And the geyser made me cough a bit but nothing happened as a result. And I didn't notice anything about the spas I guess, since there were no dinos to shoot at..
