MOD: Freelancer Variations

I can confirm that as a Vanilla player who doesn’t have this mod that the sauna bugs out on Vanilla too and not just with this mod. Don’t know how this bug happened to you, but for me it happened when I trapped a suspect in the Sauna, and I just was stuck staring at the sauna window indefinitely.

You should ask IO, not me

Marrakesh - ETs (Sunset): All three daytime ETs are present.

I don’t have time to confirm (I’m taking a Hitman break currently) but that means Gunrunner, Fixer and Angel of Death, right?

Does that mean that The Brothers aren’t in and might appear in additional future variant down the line?
Just asking out of curiosity.

Experimental fix for Landslide exit bug based on Hardware’s feedback earlier (needs testing)

After update I’m still soft-locked on Landslide daytime, territory takedown, using gate exit. Playing Xbox store version.

[Kevin_Rudd]

Alright, it was a long shot that shouldn’t have helped in the first place, just thought I’d give it a try for all exits and versions since Hardware seemed to have success when I did the smaller test before

I’ll remove it from the changelog

@NeroCrossX

No. Open to The Entertainer though.

[_jrok]

The two new variants look excellent by the way! Marrakesh is very eerie, I like it.

Future Updates

• Whittleton: Sunset on Special Assignment

I’m thinking maybe.

[Kevin_Rudd]

Just don’t hold your breath!

I’m supposed to be finishing Sandbox Hantu but have barely touched it for a month or so

[Tetrafish_21]

This is the exit giving the soft-lock, correct?

Eh, not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I did notice this… (was d’ing around and thought I’d throw a brick at a guard before I exited on the previous attempt)

An invisible entity (there are actually 2) to lock-on to for a throwable melee item.

Eh, no. I didn’t see if it’s here in the normal mission.

3rd go Imma use the boat.

Edit: Verified. Nothing in the same spots in the regular/normal missions.

Edit2: Next question would be if it’s there in the normal FL mode.

[Ham_Train]

I’ve had the bug using both the boat & the market car. Sadly, it doesn’t seem to be confined to just one exit.

[Kevin_Rudd]

So weird! Still no idea why these things happen and only for some people

[erkyp3rky]

found this on nighttime miami, not sure if this is due to the mod or not but im fairly certain

[Kevin_Rudd]

The single black step? Yeah I remember it from a long time ago, not sure how to fix or why it does that. Probably the intersection between two ‘rooms’ that isn’t noticeable during day or something

Update by AnthonyFuller of Peacock Plugin for latest Peacock version

Freelancer Variations

[NeroCrossX]

@Kevin_Rudd
Yet another question from me but considering how much the meta for New York changed in newest update I was wondering if it’s possible to add pre-patch version of map as alternate variant with some tweaks.

Basically re-add all additional NPCs, un-nerf vault area, enable death logic for Savalas and if possible force stock market crash.

I know that changing TOD for this map can’t be implemented but I woudn’t mind if it stayed the same (unless there’s a way to add some filter on screen or change color of some light sources to give map somewhat different vibe).

[Kevin_Rudd]

One person told me that Landslide exit magically started working for them after game patch, can anyone else confirm?

@NeroCrossX

…if it’s possible to add pre-patch version of map as alternate variant with some tweaks.

But it would be a hassle, because it’s a series of files they’ve changed not just one, the overrides brick which is for both (Showdown and non) versions of map, then the territory takedown brick. But on the NPCs remember how we used to say that IO made 20 custom NPCs and they mainly show up if they’re targets but sometimes others will spawn even if they’re not targets? It sounds like they’ve changed the game mode itself to stop that man spawning near the vault unless he’s a target, I have zero idea how to change that.

In short: No I won’t be doing it

But I’ll see if there’s something I can do for NY one day

[Kevin_Rudd]

AHBOS Variant: The Brothers + The Entertainer + ToD Change

• Yes (Will double mod size to ~60mb)
• No

Whoops, I forgot to copy over a lot of files, turns out it will increase mod size from 30mb to 100mb, will also increase deploy time but… I don’t think anyone cares about deploy times at this point

---

Okay, it’s now made: The Brothers + The Entertainer + Cheveyo Calibration + Midday + Mission Targets Dead + Music change

[Lewisnic1]

Haven’t posted in this thread for awhile, so looking at it, I wonder if we’ll ever actually get the alternative versions of Dartmoor, Marrakesh, Sapienza etc added to Freelancer? I’d have thought if it was going to happen, we’d have some rumblings of it by now?

[Kevin_Rudd]

Replace Territory Takedown Mumbai Day with Illusions of Grandeur (Cuts off Rangan Tower)

• Yes
• No
• Why not both?

Territory Takedown only because Showdown has a bunch of crap (Suspects, acts, lookouts, assassins) set in Rangan Tower that I can’t be arsed putting in the effort to work around any time soon
