Starship Troopers: Mission 1

Made by Troll (jibley@hotmail.com)

This map gives you new units WHEN YOU HAVE THE STARSHIP TROOPERS TAG SET.

To get the tag set, go to The Baron's Keep at http://tbk.balinsbar.com or my web site, http://www.avalon.net/~bennett/pages/myth2.htm.

 

(You need to follow these directions I give you, there is no other way.)

How To Play With The Plugin:

There are ONLY TWO WAYS TO PLAY THIS MAP WITH THE STARSHIP PLUGIN. I'll list them here.

 

1) One of them is this: Get a tag extractor from vista at http://vista.theresistance.net. Once you have a tag extractor, extract the tag set and name that folder that is extracted your local folder. You will probably need to replace that local folder, or, if you are working on a map, rename your local folder. (you local folder is where you store the information for maps you are working on, but you haven't made a plugin of it.) Then have this map plugin in your plugins folder. Start up myth, HOLD DOWN "SHIFT" AND HIT "NEW GAME". Then start a game playing one or the other of these two maps!!

2) Start up myth 2, HOLD DOWN "SHIFT" AND HIT "NEW GAME". Then hit "cancel," and start a MULTIPLAYER GAME. Then go to an unranked room, and start a game. Hit the little checkbox at the top left of the options screen, so then it loads all of the SINGLE PLAYER GAMES IN MULTIPLAYER. Then, select one of the Starship maps, and then, still in multi options, hit the little button at the top-middle of the screen that says "PLUGINS," hit this, and then click on the Starship Troopers Tag Set and move it into the activated part of the window, then hit "OK," and then select the difficulty you want it at, then hit "OK," and start your game! (it might be wise to play it once in regular single player and not multi to find out what you want to do...but that is very strange, becuase you have a Trow that you don't control who gets killed by Myrks and it just is REALLY WEIRD, that is why you play it with the Starship Plugin in one or both of these ways.)

What this map is like:

One thing about this is that you get totally new units, the regular soldier has a Flamethrower as his special power. (you have an infinite amount of the "Flame," so use it as much as you want, but it does cost mana.) You have an exploding bullet. (one unit in this will be YOU throughout every single Starship Troopers map I make. You can name him after you. But should he die, even if he's the first one dead, you lose, and the game is over, so keep him alive!

There is also a general, who has a just-about-kill-anything-ROCKET as his special attack. But you don't get to use him in this mission, in later missions you will be able to.

There are also, of course, Bugs. These little guys need to get close to you to hurt you, but if they do, you are pretty much dead. So be sure to attack them and kill them before they get too close!

Ticks are little annoying bugs that can take your power down only a bit, but they make you pause. So, if Ticks got you, and then there are bugs, well...that wouldn't be good.

There are also little harmless-ambient-invincible creatures called Grendels. Don't pay much attention to them.

There is also new scenery, a pretty big Starship Capsule, (what the troops land on the planet in.) and a little Troll guy :) See if you can spot the Troll on both of these maps.

Just a little advice--in the trenches in this level, the enemies can get walk down the sides of the trenches, but you can't walk up the sides of the trenches, and somtimes your bullets hit the trenches. So, sometimes it gets very tight in there...

Credits:

This map was made by me, Troll. But I really coudn't have done it without the s'pht tag set (where I got the pictures of the units.) That s'pht tag set was made by El Bastard, so THANKS A WHOLE LOT TO EL BASTARD!!

Thanks also to Vodi, who made Amber 2, pretty much the only collection (picture) editor to be able to make units and objects, and scenery etc.
