AvPx Enhanced - new modded version of AvPx

[Bobblen]

Hi guys, this is a small update to sirlemonhead's AvPx source code update for Aliens versus Predator Gold Edition that I've been working on over the last couple of months. The goal of the project is to add additional customisation and quality of life features to the single player experience without changing any of the actual gameplay. This is intended to be an enhancement of Avp Gold, not a total conversion.

New features include being able to customise the starting weapons for marine and predator, reload key + pred previous vision mode key, all enemy types can be spawned as bots, all enemy types can be fought in skirmish, new debug features and more! There's a full feature breakdown on the moddb page.

Thanks to sirlemonhead for the original avpx, olde for much testing, feature suggestions and a few texture fixes.

As I say in the readme, I'm new to c++ and have been basically making it up as I go along. I'm sure there will be bugs, I won't necessarily be able to fix them, but I'll give it a go.

Enjoy!

Wow that is quite a big change. Nice! Does this work in multiplayer?

[Bobblen]

Sadly not. as far as I'm aware, avpx has never had functioning multiplayer, and adding it back in is certainly beyond me!

Would this version have unlimited lives and the original cutscenes and not the brits telling a USMCMC what to do?

[Bobblen]

You can enable unlimited saves in the config file, but the videos are dependent on which version of avp you have installed. If it's gold edition or classic 2000, that has the british videos. But you can download the original US actor videos from moddb and just replace the videos if you want.

I've put out a new update for this, v0.2, with the following new features
-Avp99 features (menu, fmvs, skeeter/pistol) can now be toggled
-Bonus levels can now be played on any difficulty
-Impossible mission has been promoted to a full difficulty level for a monster challenge
-Cheat modes can now be played on any level that makes sense, Marine no longer has falling damage on for free fall cheat mode to give you a fighting chance

-And finally I fudged the hud scaling to not look terrible at 1920x1080. It's not a fix, but at least there's no longer a giant motion tracker covering half the screen.

Thanks I will have to try these mods out.

[Bobblen]

Something I probably should make clearer rather than burying it in the big readme, for the old fmvs to work you have to go and get them (moddb has them) and copy them into the new FMVsOld folder.

Oh alright. I never had the chance play the old school AVP 1999. This will be the next best thing.
