I decided I wanted to make a Full Game+ experience on the connected map so that the whole game was playable start to finish. All 7 levels are playable, including bonus missions and races. This mod uses the connected map by Colou. Level 1 and 2 are on the stock connected map. Level 3 is on a connected map variant I am working on to capture the look and feel of level 3. level 4, 5 and 6 are the night connected map by Sparrow, and level 7 is the Halloween connected map by Mazzy. The missions are customized to better suit the connected map and to restore cut dialogue and various other stages of the original game. This is not a hardmode mod, it's an original enhanced experience.
This is a BETA TEST. The mod is NOT finished. I know, broken record. I've only been working on this for about 3 weeks, so it's not complete, but it is close functionality wise. It all started when I was watching LiquidWiFi's stream and he said how cool it would be if this was a thing, and I thought, hell yeah. I've wanted that since a kid, so I got cracking. Honestly, it's pretty much done, it's just missing time consuming polish, but I'm at the stage where I need community input on what missions need to be tweaked, what needs to be fixed, what looks wrong, what issues you come across and what you guys would like to see in the mod. Please be brutally honest, I want to do this right.
Here's a list of what still needs completing:
Level Cards: All in stock locations. I do want to change these around
Level Wasps: Currently 52 per level all in the same places. Kinda cool but feedback required
Level 3: Some models don't have updated vertex colors so appear too bright, and some textures are still showing blue windows instead of the rose tint
Skyboxes: I do want to restore the original L5 and L6 skyboxes so they don't all look so similar
FCM Issues: There's a few collision based issues and some geometry doesn't align properly that I do want to fix
Duplicates: I bet there's duplicate characters around the map. Need testers to find
Hot Pants: Missing from L4/5/6
Races: Currently standard. A few changes would be nice
Gags: Untested idk
Doorstars: Not showing in some missions for some reason
Future changes for a perfect game would also include updated vertex shading in Level 5 and 6 to even more accurately portray their look and feel. I haven't tested 100% nor even the story start to finish yet, but it should be fine as all the missions work individually. The to do list is nitpicky, and I'd say the mod is 90% complete, hence the 0.9b version distinction.
Features:
- Every Level, mission, bonus mission and race functional
- Car buy locations, clothes working, wager race etc
- Missions modified to suit connected map
- L3 connected map variant
- Coin balance. Coin boxes between Level 1 and 3 are shared. As are 4 to 6. 7 is standalone so you can get heaps in endgame.
- Working cards and wasps
- Bonus cars are working, but you cant drive a bonus car to other bonus cars else they won't spawn. Only one can be loaded at a time. This is an engine limitation
- Restored a lot of L4/5/6 content to night connected map
- More that I'm forgetting
There's not much left to do in terms of gameplay, but there is a bit in terms of perfection. I am dedicated to getting this right and I assure you this will not be the final version. The mod is Decompilable and community improvements and modifications are encouraged, and will be added to the mod if I find appropriate.
