G59 requires EXU2 OPEN BETA v6.00, and UT Patch 436, UT Bonus Pack 4, and Oldskool Amp'd v239, that EXU2 itself includes, in order to run.

G59 is an unofficial EXU2 campaign started from my own mind; Waffnuffly and its Batshit Insane campaign have nothing much to do with this (G59 simply happens many centuries later).

G59 is not a simple ride and you're very quickly taken into intense battles with high-end weapons. I take in consideration that whoever plays this has played Batshit Insane, or at least knows the apocalyptic unknown-made wonders that lie in the EXU packages - meaning weapons, enemies, items, etc.
However, with the new balance changes on the easier difficulties, it is possible to experience G59 from the get-go without much frustration.

Objective is simple: shoot, kill, clear map. You revisit maps from RTNP and the Unreal Beta; for the most part it's all heavily converted maps but since I knew the original levels for years now, my gameplay work has been easier to develop.
Mappack is strongly thematic - hell theme is still there, alongside new and known stuff. Every level always brings something unique from the rest, including puzzles and hard-to-reach secrets. There is also an intricate story, all about survival of the fittest. The Unreal character skin "Bane" is used to represent G59's main character, the Hell Survivor.

G59 is a mod at its core and doesn't present itself as a map-pack for certain reasons (due to more than half of the campaign being based on levels made by Epic Games mappers); the mod is a product of several gameplay ideas I've always imagined to implement somewhere. EXU2 gave me the possibility of doing this and I'm grateful enough to Waffnuffly for having created such an amazing, vast, insane mod.

G59 has been progressively made more accessible throughout patches. Easy mode has been heavily softened for newer players. The atmosphere of the maps is generally nothing you have ever experienced in custom Unreal packs; if you can overcome its crazy gameplay, every Unreal player is welcome to try G59.

Centuries have passed and Na Pali looks nothing like it was before.

The whole planet is now filled with creatures of every alien kind, swarming over territories and modifying the environments at their own will. They like to be called Demons. And they like to call their planet Hell. Nobody knows how this possibly happened but going to the past is impossible; so, who cares?

Demons are divided into clans, either of different rank or element. Opposing them are the Saints, ethereal beings that have come from the skies. Battles between Demons and Saint are usual but more common are battles between Demon clans for conquering territories.

One of these clans was known under the name of GALGALIM. These blue, energy-based Demons, with their powerful leader, managed to bring order in Hell. One day though, they disappeared. The GALGALIM managed however to complete their peacekeeping job and the current King of Demons, named BaalBerith, was given responsibility to continue what the energetic entities achieved.

All fine, right?

One day, parts of Hell were swallowed by something which looked like a moving black cloud composed of organic beings. Demons defined them as Shadows; Saints suffered immensely by this invasion.

Chaos ensued again; Demons fighting other Demons to conquer more territories possible, escaping from the walking black hole. The strongest ones managed to survive but will the greatest Demon clans be able to stop this collective of eldritch entities?

In the meanwhile, a human survivor is running amok throughout the wasteland. He suddenly finds himself in the middle of this new ongoing chaos and the only thing he can do now is to survive against enraged monsters and find a proper objective. Which position will he take? Driving the Hell into a never-ending abyss, or actually managing to fix up things?

However, seeing corpses that look like him and a certain Demon leader who is aware of his future actions, something is not truly right.

The Ancient Scapes



- THE MAP IS INSIDE THE G59 DOWNLOAD PACKAGE -

Before Perditus Paradisus existed, there were the Ancient Scapes.
A land of honorable Demon guardians where the strongest heroes tested their powers against rebellious creatures. Those who were to succeed could take the land for themselves, rejuvenating in the crystalline waters.

If they were to fail, they had to withstand deadly punishment from the stars - creatures deemed Destroyers coming from the borders of the universe that knew no mercy. Annihilation to the useless beings was the only thought in the highly intelligent minds of these aliens.

Do not die. The sentinels from the Outerworld are watching upon you.

Cryomatter



- CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE ALBUM PAGE ON EKTOPLAZM -

Veteran sci-fi music producers Cybernetika (Lars Goossens) and Xenofish (Christian Becker), both from Germany, hereby introduce their collaborative project, Cryomatter, with a self-titled debut album from Ektoplazm. Featuring a multi-dimensional exploration of many different musical genres, the album tells the story of an alien form of matter threatening the integrity of our universe itself..

“On the far side of the galaxy, inside a frozen nebula, a new form of raw crystalline matter revealed itself to the human eye. This cryomatter, as we named it, entered our dimension through a quantum rift. It was discovered that this strange substance was designed to eliminate all movement and progress, to put the universe into stasis and to collapse time itself.

Before the stasis began a small team of scientists managed to escape through the rift where they discovered a world beyond their comprehension. Isolated from the effects of the cryomatter, they discovered its source and the powers that control it. In their desperate search for a way to reverse the effect, they managed to find a way to banish the cryomatter and end the stasis.

Through millions of dimensional rifts, this so-called anti-cryomatter was released into our universe…”


All tracks written and produced by Cybernetika (Lars Goossens) and Xenofish (Christian Becker). Track 3 and 4 written and produced by Cybernetika. Track 7 and 8 written and produced by Xenofish. Mastering and artwork by Xenofish.

Added a google drive mirror provided by Waffnuffly, thanks!

It's a bit late now, tomorrow I'll talk about one or two things about this new version. Actually took three weeks to put it together.

It's technically 6.02 but I wanted to mark it as a "new start" of sorts.

Perditus had its sky changed several times. First it was truly yellow gold, then it became dark gold, then in one patch it was changed to sunset but I wasn't happy enough with it so I reverted it back to orange/midday. Then I finally decided for the aqua night sky that you see now and I'm pretty happy with it; it also increases visibility a lot.

Map 9 is definitely my favorite map of the bunch. Not too long and all the fights are really intense and you got to think fast otherwise you get overwhelmed. The third Queen is really strong.

Map 10 is on the very hard side at the moment (on Hard and Unreal difficulties only though), mostly generally because it's new and no one will be used to it yet. Be careful at the Gasbags because each one is a quick ticket to game over. EAR's secondary can snipe-kill them but on Unreal difficulty there are few really tough big ones that require Gaskill Flares and Tachyon beams. It's really satisfying though getting through Map 10 however, the outdoor theme is pretty fresh.

Map 11 - I rushed it quite a lot even though it's for a boss battle only and it'll stay like that (Map 11 first planned to be a Soledad conversion but I didn't want a second Haereticus). I didn't have a good plan for the boss aren but I like the set up to it. The final battle's difficulty will be nerfed once Map 12 will get in. Taking a long break from the editor now however.


I really hope a lot of people play this pack.

Okay, i will download this version and start without using savegames and playing in Unreal difficulty. :)

Time to kick Tonatiuh's ass again!

Oh seriously, i don't like savegames, i always want to not get damage, this is what happens to me... lots of armor, i also had more at the end of the map but i'm lazy to take a screenshot.

It is up and running on my dedicated EXU server.

I had to pull all the EXU/G59 maps off the Ecoop servers as
I have them running in Unreal difficulty, and the new EXU maps are
just too much for the server at that level.
(The AKcoop/Ecoop server is using the new EXU guns and items.)

Have the dedicated EXU server locked in at Medium difficulty, which seems
to be working well.

Only made it halfway thru the second map of this new G59 release so far....
Liking what I see so far.

People will be playing it soon.
Just the other day, I had 5 players on the exu server for almost 2 hours.
That is pretty good these days I think. They will be back.
Mooo !

I spoiled myself a bit too much in your Server, Loathsome.
Oh, Sadly Tonatiuh's event broke and the boss never spawned.

About my progress in SP, i started again, i completed the first map, i killed Naberius, and everything took me 3 attempts without a save game, not bad. :)


Wow, Morax battle is amazing now!
Rainbow!


OH.
Perditus Paradisus looks unbelievably beautiful!!!!
I love it!
Great work, keep going sir!
Well done!
I have no words!

That is weird. It works fine on all difficulties (I tested) but not sure why not on Coop considering it uses the same exact events and nothing is filtered. Might have been a one-time bug.

EDIT: (unrelated) oops the collision values for Tonatiuh in lower difficulties are quite wrong. Next time I'll also set up some pathnodes for him too.

Hey, tried to join the server today but I got some RMusicPlayer mismatches.

Can't even join the ecoop one... mismatches again (K_General.utx what's going on? must be a bug on me)

Yeah, i've found some problems with Tonatiuh, his size changes when you increase his health (Only in UED, when you set his health higher, in-game doesn't seem to change if you shot him with Tachyon, lol idk why tachyon increases his health, a bit ridiculous. :P Make it resistant at least but not heal.)

I know there is some UltraBag script in there, what about delete any DrawScale and Collision related? That should fix it, because i've done it before with a custom tonatiuh. (I play a lot with UED, so yeah.)

Yes that might be the reason why Tonatiuh has that size issue. On Unreal difficulty is fine. Should be easy to fix anyway.

And no, Tachyon heals him! He's made of that energy and is the only boss to have this feature. This is to encourage players to use more the Backpack Missile + Clusterfucker against him and the monsters he summon instead of going to the cheap Tachyon blast route to clear everything. Technically the latter strategy it's still viable as long as Tonatiuh is far away from you which is rather common.

I'm not happy about this new attack, not as effective as I hoped but if you ever EVER get it that's a lot of fucking damage. I might probably boost the beam's damage very highly (to 1000 I guess) to make up for its shitty accuracy.

So I've been trying to get the old version of map 12 (Yaksha/RTNPNALIC) to run on an older version of EXU2 and I managed to do it... but holy fuck. It's so much of a mess right now. No way that I'm going to get back to it - I'll redesign it from scratch but still applying the same skybox.

The problem is how ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE the geometry quality of the map is. Holy shit I thought Neve was bad but EFNP's terrain is completely broken.

Try to not release the last map too soon, because if you release it, then the next versions, well, not much people will play it, because there will be nothing more interesting than just fixing bugs or something else.

Nah, Map 12 isn't coming anywhere soon at this point, I might probably wait EXU2 v7 or something even. Besides, Map 12 isn't even the last one (though it would be in terms of impact).

I'm just speechless at how really awful the RTNP castle map is in the editor.
