Planet: Venus
Size: 2560x2560
Players: 1
Type: Single player/Instant
action
DESCRIPTION: You have been dropped on Venus with a unit
factory, a
constructor, and a scavenger to create a diversion to keep an
NSDF
platoon on Venus from reinforcing the Black Dogs on Titan. You
must
keep the unit factory intact, as it is desperately needed back
on
Titan. Destroy the NSDF recycler, but do not risk your unit factory.
Tip: -
Don't die, that would result in it being a little
harder to complete the mission.
Tip: -
If the unit factory is endangered by enemy artillery,
pack it up and move it north to safety.
Tip: -
This is an Inst4XMsn and there are no cliffs to
prevent the NSDF from running off the map. If you haven't won,
there's probably something left you can shoot, though, because
your
goal is to destroy the enemy production units.
Tip: -
You can recycle two of the relics for scrap, a
'Cthonian' comm tower and a 'Cthonian' supply depot.
Tip: -
This unit factory builds the Tan Dinosaur Platoon's
units. They are pretty good attackers for the most part but the
howitzer has a drawback. At close quarters it is deadlier to
friendlies than enemies due to it's weapon: the splinter mortar.
It packs plenty of ammo, making it a fair medium-range attacker,
though the standard howitzer mortar has a longer range.
Installation Instructions
-------------------------
Before you begin exit Battlezone if it is running.
1) All the files in the zip file need to be unzipped into your
BattleZone\addon subdirectory.
2) Do not modify any of the files in any way! If you change the
files with a program that works for changing these kinds of files
(I can get you a really slow one if you want.), the map will
probably still work, if you know what you are doing. Usrmsnde.trn
can be changed with notepad. This should do no harm. Usrmsnde.odf
can be changed with notepad, but really shouldn't be. Usrmsnde.otf
can be harmlessly changed with notepad. This is the text you see
when you press O. Usrmsnde.aip might be changed with notepad.
If
this succeeds, the computer will build something else, making
the
mission easier or tougher. The bitmaps can be changed with Paint
or the HTML Image Editor or the like. Changing usrmsnde.hgt results
in tall spiky hills and deep pointy holes that make the map totally
useless. Changing usrmsnde.bzn can replace the starting units,
and
can prevent bzone from using the .aip file. Use the Tan Dinosaur
units however you can, and distribute them with your new instant
action and deathmatch maps, and tweak copies however you want,
but
please don't change the originals unless I update them.
