MistWeaver · Unread postby **MistWeaver** » 27 Dec 2006, 18:17

@Orfin.

Why extract? Just put it in "maps" dir and enjoy.

The file that has to be put in your Maps folder is called Nival10.off. Run Nival10_On.bat and it'll transform into the standard .h5m. Don't know why this was necessary, but there it is.

Well, both the map and the textfile accompanying it are in Russian, which I don't understand. I can read Cyrillic, however, and I thought I caught Fabrice's name in there somewhere.

Some of the cutscenes were fun to listen to: "I-go-go!"

Well now at least we know what Nival is spending time on.

The movies and the animations and the portrets in the map took some time I think, but creating a female model for the heroes in game takes months TO CREATE.

I gotta wait for the English version lol

to unreal_az:

Some people woudn't be happy even if Nival does all they wanted.

Elvin · Unread postby **Elvin** » 27 Dec 2006, 23:32

Sure but many more are unhappy because Nival doesn't.

i think it is good that Nival is having fun with the game, will keep improving it in their spare time.

Let me guess, the real objective of the game is to getting totally drunk with vodka and trick ubi that you are actually working hard...

When an English version is ready I'll download it. It appears to be rather large for one scenario but I'll reserve my judgement as to whether the effort should have been directed eleswhere until then.

GOW

Just noticed why it has a off/on switch.

WHEN PLAYING OTHER MAPS USE THE OFF SWITCH BEFORE DOING SO.

THE MAP IS ALSO A MOD THAT MODIFIES CREATURE NAMES!
