Plazma Burst 2: Opposing Force

[Resi]

The map is great, awesome, and the design is excellent.

But about one thing. Why are the Lite Railgun, Assault Rifle C-01r, and Ray Gun unknown to the player? It has been introduced being wielded by the CS in the early and late levels of the Campaign.

I'm going for a gameplay where you get more weapons as you progress, mainly because you cannot save specific weapons across levels, you can think about it as Clover not knowing how to use the weapons, or preferring not to use them because just yet due to lack of training.

Not really but I still haven't found out what the problem with it was.

I think I found out the reason why.

I too experienced the same problem while working on my map. And when I scroll down for a character for the player, I found a character named 'Drone Controller'. It is found between the Advanced Usurp and Android T-01 and have no image.

It works perfectly fine when I put the Drone Controller in the drone, but not the rest of the characters

At least the M4 and Glock are now added to ALE

It worked, thanks!! I didn't think a different skin would change it's behaviour, but then again this map was made before the drone controller was added to the ALE.

Update 1 for OF2 has been released:

Spoiler: Show More

- In Single Player, meeting the CS and ending the conversation will activate strict casual (Because there's no casual mode without strictness in triggers)
- Added defibrillators near the CS, replaced the CS's pistol with a Combat Rifle, decreased his HP from 500 to 400, added revival dialogue (Death and revival dialogue only appear once), reviving the other player in COOP mode with the defib will make their colored movable disappear.
- Added some more platforms and an elevator (Which has to be used above first) in the dark inside part where you have to go upwards to make the reaching way less tedious.
- Fixed the npc teleporter could be used when the cs died and specified it's for NPCs in it's hint.

Alright, first of all I'd like to say good job. You've done well with this campaign thus far and definitely deserve some praise, so I'll do just that:

https://prnt.sc/httksr
This is by far the best thing ever and I love every bit of it. It's a nice little touch and rewards people who try to mess around with everything.

https://prnt.sc/httsmb
I wouldn't have noticed this if I hadn't died a couple of times, but good job with this one. It's simple, but supports different peoples play-styles. If they had sped through that scene and the guy kept talking then the dialogue might have gotten all jumbled if they ran into another scene (Though I don't think there are any others nearby, but still nice).

I also enjoy the structure of the map, It's all rather unique and never really feels bland. The BG's are simplistic but nicely so, with often some variety here and there to keep things fresh.


That's about enough praise for you, I think you've got the picture that I like it at this point. But what's a proper comment without a bit of criticism?

It just looks odd seeing that it's daylight outside yet barely any light is coming from these windows. You should add a light at the center of them, since it will look more realistic and give some ambiance. I'm not sure if there were other windows like this, there were the only ones I noticed.

https://prnt.sc/httvdn
Pretty self-explanatory, wouldn't you say?

https://prnt.sc/httn8a
Just some slight grammar issues with here. Not a big deal, just helps. Again, this was the only one I noticed, there might be more.

Overall? Good map as always Silver.

Thanks! That was pretty much my idea and I'm glad it worked, if you'd like to see some more details I put them in my Youtube Channel when a new part is released (Though development is currently frozen for computer problems, I'm currently saving up for a new PC and have $80/$200 so far and I'll get to that by then because my current laptop is very low-end) here's the link if you wanna take a look: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-0e6l ... -BuAkN31EQ

There are actually are a few:

- Go near the dead CS Heavy with the CS.
- Don't listen to him and use the car.
- Go near the android sniper with the CS.

Thanks! I spend most of the time lazying, having problems with my PC and motivation, brainstorming and design than the layout and battling and stuff, anywho, replies are also below:

Oddly enough, there ARE lights in all of them with 1.6 power, I've divided each side with 0.4 lamps so they touch the BGs instead of being in the middle though, when I get my hands into the other powerful laptop (Though with serious overheating problems so it'll be temporary and it's still low-end) I'll see if it's fixed (unless somebody else shows me.)

Huge thanks! Although they're 2 and 3 has a bit of progress and the writing is finished (and so it is for 4 though) so I'd say it's a series, just in progress, thanks for your detailed posts, it motivates me and makes me smile you enjoyed it and took your time to tell me about it.

I was told by Doomwrath this is perfectly fine if I don't get obsessed with it, so here you go.

A personal wiki if you enjoy reading for this series.

I'll add some more pages as time goes.

It's out boys!

Spoiler: Show More

• Updated the OP with a higher quality gif (New PC).
• Moved the barrel in the wall-jumping area in the beginning of OF1 so you don't have to hold X to move past it, gave the final Usurper in OF1 a laser.

• Changed the OF2 white Android to Orange.

[Resi]

- Changed the emergency activation room movable color to orange to be easier to see.
- Added another light in the dark part of the final corridor to improve visibility.
- Tiny changes to wall positioning in the last bits of the map, a few deactivated light to give the sense the lights in the final bits are emergency lights (If only I could color them red.)

OF3 mini changes:

Spoiler: Show More

There's a planned OF2 hotfix, and OF4 is being resumed in development after that hiatus, progress is less than 11% rn, depends how lazy and how motivated I am to finish it.

[Resi]

Made some extremelly tiny changes to OF3 and OF2 that fixed visual errors with water and backgrounds, OF4 is probably never coming out.

[Resi]

Over the years, PB2 has received quite a lot of drastic updates, many of these which allow making maps look as better as ever.

I've mentioned this before, but I'll say it again: I lack the motivation and interest to work on new maps for Plazma Burst 2.

I've got a lot of things happening in my life, and I've got my own chat-game RPG which gives me more creative freedom and happiness than plazma burst 2 maps do.

Aditionally, this series is pretty dated for today, and even I didn't realize Clover was invisible until someone PM'ed me, since he's a drone controller with different bodyparts to make him silent... A recent change made drone controllers invisible.

I lack the motivation and interest to fix this map and overhaul it to look better, I lack the motivation and interest to continue this series, so I shall leave it to rest.

Thank you for the support among the years.
