Beastlord COOP addon for FOT

 New version info:

What it does:

What it doesnt do:

Instalation:

To get this thing going:

1. Download the entities package.
2. Extract the entities package to your Fallout tactics entities directory (ie: C:\Games\Fallout Tactics\core\entities\). Make sure you extract files with path! This should create a folder called beastlord and there should be .ent files in it. Also in this folder there must be 2 subfolders called weapons and other! If they aint there you did not extract with path.
3. Download the maps.
4. Unzip and put the maps into your missions folder (ie: C:\Games\Fallout Tactics\missions\)

Playing

The game is played with EXP on, 1 round only, timelimit off, respawning off and APreg 100%. FF should be set at 33% or more! I suggest you use the time of day specified by the map(DEFAULT). The only rules are: no muling, INV bugging or hexed chars. Failiure to follow these rules will result in you beeing thrown out of the playing party. This is not a competition this was not made to let you feel l33t but this was made to be fun and enyoyable for all players. Another good rule for slower hosts is no moving for 10 seconds after the game starts! This is to prevent the lag that all the beastlord minion cause when they go agressive and sneak.
The point limit is dependant on the map:

Bugs, desynching and FAQ:

This mod requires at least a medium instalation of FOT! Full is highly recommended!
-The addon will not in any way "fuck up" your fallout tactics instalation!
-Desynch happens if you dont have the same entities as the hosting computer!
-The most reasons for desynchin are: inability to install the ent pack, bad FO installation, outdated coop ent files.
-The easiest way to fix this is to reinstall the coop mod and if that doesnt help reinstall FOT.
-another form of desynching is not beeing able to move at all on a map. This is due to differences in your and the hosts map/important entities.
-The host needs a good computer and a good connection since there s usually around 100+ foes on a single map.
-The map remaking process is hard and long. You need to remove all entities except the lights. Then you have to put the beastlord entities on the map, give them ammo and any other inventory you d like them to have. And finaly get rid off all useless stuff like triggers, zones and other unused teams. If you cant find the right entity you can allways make one or ask me to do it for you.

Beastlord tutorial:

The beastlord is not allowed to take his own characters into the game. Either bring premades that fit into your force or kill you character at start. Some maps allready have melt points to prevent the BL from taking any chars into the game at all. The only map that is an exception to this rule is Vaut 77. When the game starts press F12 to select all your minions. Then put them all on agressive and sneak. From then on you follow the rules of micromanagement:

• Dont abuse your powers by overruning the players with a load of your minions. there are two exceptions to this rule: when someone cheats or when someone is the last man standing.
• Try to make the gaming experience interesting with certain quotes over your minions!
• Play smart! Dont just rush out but position your characters if you are defending!
• If you do attack use formation move! That way your minions wont blow each others heads off!
• Never ever ever ever move your minions while in F12 mode!

In need of help:

I need help in making maps, making new entities and beta testing. If you are interested you should have a general knowledge of the FOT engine, of the editor and of making maps. Any serious people either send me a private msg on the VTN forum (link at end of page) or contact me on GSA/ICQ.
