ADDITIONAL STORY º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ Rest of the story is in mission briefing. When Material Defender was destroying PTMC's mines, some robots always stayed "alive". Before he reached Pluto, robots builded The Royal Palace under the surface of planet and a new robot, The Driller Queen, and growned Her their leader and builded more buildings. But Queen needed something to fill Her mother instincts so robots builded also The King. -Leave us alone!, (All lines are translated from Robotic language.) Queen ordered and robots went. After a long period Queen ordered them back. -Kill Him and feed to me! -NO! You can't do that!!! -Can't I? -NO, Degh'Fir!! I love you!!! -Good bye, 'honey'. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!! After that Robots started to conquer our solar system and fill Queen's orders. Queen went into birth chamber layed some 'eggs' and leaved it to watch Her daughers. When new Drillers casted off their shells, they began to fight against each others until there was only 1 left. (Queen:) -My Daugher! -Mum? -Yes my dear. Will be your name Degh'Fir II. Follow me to throne room. I'll make you to be The Queen after I'm dead. I'll tell you all what happens here and what will be happen. -Mum? -Yes, dear? -What's your name? -Degh'Fir I -Are you a Queen? -Honey, I'll tell ya all when we're on our throne seats. Now stop askin'! -Okay. Queen layed more 'eggs' and Her Army croved big. She told Princess everything necessary. But when The Princess was coming back from practising, She heared guards talkin' and stopped. -...you heared for the attack? -You mean that big? -Yep. -No. -You didn't?! -Only that it'll be soon. -All right then. We'll blast humans off and take Earth! -Wow! I can't keep waitin'! (Princess thoughed:) -NO!!! She can't do that!!! She CAN'T do that!!!!! Scared Princess came back to throne room quickly. -Mum? -Yes darling? -Is it true that you're gonna kill all humans and conquer Earth? -Dem**d it is!!! They murdered us! And we god****** take revenge on that for 'em! We won't stop until we've killed 'em all "#Ï%$^&*%&!!!! -NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Princess took u-turn and 'runned' away. -Guards!!! Stop her! Don't let her talk to humans /Ï{%&$!! I Want her dead!!! Princess escaped Palace safefully but Queen Layed more 'eggs' and a new Crown Princess borned. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» º 7. PLAYING º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ Because Revenge o' Drillers has single player mode, start it normally from mission list, select skill (Trainee strongly recommended) and read briefin'. Thou know it: Grab keys, save hostages, blow reactor and get off. But if thou stop and look around, thou see that every stage has its own specialities. I meaned them to create atmosphere. In example special spots guarded, a training field and control room. Fast playing style looses also many 1 ups. CONTROLS: If thou haven't a hatty joy, and mouse ain't enough, the followin' keyboard setting is useful (I know. I've cleared my way to stage 25 before cheatin'): Primary weapon: Ctrl Pitch up: Page Up Secondary -"-: Enter -"- Down: Page Dn Drob bomb: Space bar Turn left: Left arrow Accelerate: Up arrow -"- Right: Right -"- Reverse: Down -"- Slide on: Right shift But if thou hast thy own, use it. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» º 8. STAGES º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ In Revenge o' Drillers, there are 9 stages and 1 secret. Even they're small, they are quite hard. (especially the last :) ) Most o' 'em also has many puzzles, traps and tricks. It means that thou must know many single playable add-on missions and think what to do next and how to get that key or survive from masses o' enemies. Don't despair, they aren't impossible. Followin' is some description o' each stage. Multiplay specialities are in next section. To get their names, play. 1. My 1st complete stage. That's why I've played with textures. (But why there aren't any Drillers there?) 2. The place, where PTMC once tested Driller prototypes. Now it's captured by enemy. They train themselves here before entering service. Keep hurry 'cause thou never know when they're ready. 3. Be warned single player: T'is IS hard! 4. Wondering those walls in begining? They're made by water. (It's a fact that there is water under Mars' surface.) But because there aren't water texture in Desc' 1, (I know that blue one, but it doesn't look like water.) I just used lava. 5. There IS a way to get all keys without cheatin'. (But it's exteremely hard :) ) Just keep lookin' for secret doors and illusion walls. T'is one makes Lupises feelin' nice ;) 6. I Know she's an ice moon, but Desc' 1 doesn't have any ice textures. (D2 does) 7. Though all Driller mission's stages are only curves and sguared chambers? Think again! 8. Before readin' this, fight thy way into it and read briefin'! "Just 2 poles! Is THAT the ship?!", thou ask. Nope. I tried to make a reactor hall, but then the "Wall limit" exeded. (Maximum number o' walls in D1 is 175.) Then I invented those poles. (After a wall element, but that also exeted the wall limit.) "So what are they?" I don't know, 'cause they're so small. (Remember? She WILL be huge.) "And parts which are ready?" They're on surface, but when (if) thou'lt destroy halls, 'bots cannot compelete her. 9. Though nr. 5 was hard? Nope. T'IS IS!!! 'cause that's the last stage and home o' Queen and Her youngs, it's full o' Drillers. If thou can play t'is trough without cheatin', can thou also clear the game in Insane. Good luck!!! Secret. T'is ain't as hard as game's secret 3, but it's till skilled. Have fun! ;) ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» º 9. MULTIPLAY º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ First o' all make sure that EVERYONE has same version! Discuss each other, which version you play. There can be fatal differences between versions. When everyone has same version, keep readin'. To multiplay Driller mission, start multiplay normally. (Look game manual for further details.) Select either Co-op, Anarchy or Robot anarchy. The following's hints o' all stages for multiplay: (Number means stage's order 1. Prepare yourselves to last fight in Reactor Chamber. 2. It's balanced in anarchy, but you must get 'em first. 3. Almost perfect to Robot Anarchy! Don't miss it! Co-Op recommended. 4. Player 1 gets all the weapons? Not exactly... 5. Splat lava to each other, but watch out it won't melt yourselves. :) 6. Has a fine corridor network to back off... 7. Find secrets, they'll make playin' more interestin'. 8. Small size means lot o' fights. There's also a possiblity to hide. 9. Co-Op highly recommended! After destroyin' enemies, don't steal weapons. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» º 10. PATCHING THE MISSION º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ Because that's my first mission and I'm not a professional stage editor, (espicially with lights) I putted that mission to patchaple by players. The patchin' happens in 2 ways: makin' a patch and bringin' changes to HOG. 1. Makin' a patch. At first, open (latest patched version o') Driller1.hog and stage thou want to modify, make changes and SAVE IT AS <STAGENAME.RDL>! (Example: Opened file: marin.rdl, saved file: C:\games\descent\marin.rdl.) Then open bugs.txt in Notepad and add several like lines after previous '-----------------------'. V. version.number Fixed: <bug> <bug> <bug> Founded bugs: (If thou found any, but didn't fix.) <bug> <bug> <bug> Added: (If thou added somethin'.) <added> <added> <added> Patcher: patcher's name and e-mail@adress.com maybe a www.website.com/patcher ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After that, I'll write my refixings if neccessary. Pack *.rdls and bugs.txt to d1versionnumber.zip (Not in a HOG!) and send it me via e-mail in an enclosure file. Use winzip with maximum method if possible In message, write the exact name o' file so I know if it's infected by virus. (Before sendin' make sure that it's virus free.) After I've checked it out, added into 2nd latest patch and POSSIBLY remodified somehow, I'll send it back to thee in same way and release in Dillers' home page. Only that file is licensed to be distributed as a patch. Note: The 'current version' (Unless it's 1.0) is only a patch. Downloadin' or copyin'version 1.0 or a patched mission is required to play. Version number is defined by followin' way: If only 1 stage has been modified, write it's letter to last character. The greater the modification, the higher the number. Stage letters: 1. m 2. d 3. l 4. a 5. i 6. u 7. t 8. n 9. p secret v. (There can be other letters too.) if more than 1 stage has been changed big, write version number as folllows: 1.2->1.3. I make the last decission, but that helps. So file would be like d112004l.zip (Desc' 1's version o' mission 1.2004l. When thou'rt makin' a patch, follow followin' rules: a. Don't change places o' one player starts, reactors, and exit tunnels. b. If a door appears into a place, where was a wall earlier, it's not a bug, it's just a (too) well hidden secret door. c. Let stage 3's anarchy players be in their original startin' places. d. Don't remodify enemies. (Rotating not included.) e. Let locked doors be locked. f. Don't edit any *.txb files! (Unless thou know how to change planet picture order or how to make secret stage's briefin to work.) g. After thou got a patch file, make change to driller1.msn. h. Driller1.zip MUST NOT be higher than 1046528 bytes!!! There are 3 reasions: -I have to use floppy disks, because they're only connection between working and upload computer. -My inbox is only 2 Mb size. If a message is sended by Microsoft back to thee, try to send it again. However, Microsoft may also delete it if I didn't read it fast enough! -I can send only 1 Mb e-mail message, because I won't pay for more space. 10. Don't matter about errors and warnings when selected 'Check mine' in DMB2, They're planned to be so. 2. Bringing changes to HOG. Download a HOG-manager and patch and extract them. HOG-manager is any program, which can open and save HOG files (Descent Mission builder, Hoggle...). Take a backup copy from patch and hog, open Drillers1.hog, delete files those are in patch from HOG and import patched ones to it. Save and quit. Move bugs.txt to Desc's directory and overwrite existing file. Then open driller1.msn in Notepad. Find line 'revision = 1.0' (or like) and change version number as reading in bugs.txt. Don't make any other changes! Delete individual *.rdls and packed files. If mission doesn't work propably or thou think earlier version was better, overwrite HOG or *.rdls and bug.txt by backup copy and make version change to msn.
