ALIENS: EVACUATION EARTH
XENOCOMMAND


XENOCOMMAND is a tribute to MISSILECOMMAND which origionated from the Atari. Xenocommand is a take off from one of the missions in Aliens: Evacuation Earth and is a teaser map for the upcoming map pack. This file has been made by Red_Riot (at buzzfluf@hotmail_nospam.com) with thanks to Alf-Life for making the cow texture have a chromokey.


XENOCOMMAND should be inserted and run from your main AVP2 directory, insert the rezfile into the same directory as AVP2.exe Lithrez.exe and the AVP2.rez files You will need to run the rez file from the popup AVP2 Menu.

There are a few ways you can go about doing this. The first way is to insert -rez XENOCOMMAND.rez into the command line under OPTIONS

This will make the file show, and be accessable from the SinglePlayer-}Custom Levels folder in-game. The second option is to force run it by using -rez XENOCOMMAND.rez +runworld /worlds/custom/xenocommand command.

This will launch the map as soon as you start. YOU NEED 1.0.9.5 AT LEAST TO RUN THIS

Do not attempt to play multiplayer or SinglePlayer standard missions while using this rez. I really messed with the attribute files and everythign will be funky (and extreamly hard) if you do.


GAME NOTES:

GUNS
PULSE RIFLE:
This is your base starting gun. it's a very good weapon which is good for any situation that the map will throw at you. It's good at long medium or short range and the pulse gernades can be used as a last resort when aliens get to close to the bunkers. Aim for the feet and fire in small bursts.
Pros:Accurate, pulse gernades, moderate damage, lots of ammo
Cons:99 round clip which needs reloading, rounds bounce off preats
SMARTGUN:
This weapon is great for defending against xenos at close to mid range. It's great for heavy Xeno levels where multiple xenos may get near a bunker at the same time. It's decent for shooting down missiles at mid range but stinks at shooting anything past the gully. It doesn't have to reload, just simply runs out of ammo.
Pros:Auto Targeting, great rate of fire, no reloading, great at short range
Cons:eats through ammo fast, shots bounce off preats, not accurate, shots scatter
MINIGUN:
This weapon is great for any situation as long as you can see and aim. The flash makes it hard to aim at times, but it makes up for this with power, accuracy, a high rate of fire, a large ammount of ammo, and just guts anything you fire it at.
Pros:Powerful, high rate of fire, large clip, accurate in bursts, no reloading
Cons:takes a long time to switch and wind up, muzzle flash gets annoying
RAIL GUN:
The sniper rifle, your one shot wonder. no muzzle flash, one shot one kill, and a zoom. I dont' find myself using this much (only in the early levels) because I A) stink with the sniper rifle B) find that it fires to slowly C) I get myself hurt while using the zoom from enemies I don't see D) I really stink with the sniper rifle
Pros:One shot One kill, no reloading, zoom
Cons:slow fire rate, zoom can get you in trouble, hard to shoot missiles
PISTOL:
if you're down to using this, prepare for game over... at least use AP bullets.
Pros:shooting the menus at the start
Cons:um... everything

POWERUPS
There are a few powerups that will float by from time to time, these are:
Ammo:gives you ammo for all of the weapons
Railgun:gives you a Railgun or ammo
Minigun:gives you a Minigun or ammo
Smartgun:gives you a smartgun or ammo
Repair: repairs all 3 bunkers by one level

MARINES OPTION
This option in game allows you to assign what marines go in what bunker. Use the configuration that you like. Some configurations work a lot better than others. According to the menus, the bunkers fill in this order:
LEFT BUNKER
Left spot
Middle spot
Right spot
RIGHT BUNKER
Left spot
Middle spot
Right spot
MIDDLE BUNKER
Left spot
Right spot

EASY vs. HARD
In staying with the MISSLECOMMAND tradition, the game is VERY HARD. almost to the point of impossible on hard mode. I've only beat it on hard ONCE, and I designed the friggen thing. If you're looking for a more normal game put it on Easy mode... ya wimp.

HAVE FUN! -Red_Riot
