Pilot Project Modification

intended to be played. You can change these if you want but alien life cycle should stay off all the time I did a major work on the character butes and this no longer works like it should. If used you will only change to a Warrior, Queen or Predalien all other types will not be used and some attributes may not work like they are intendedLowering damage % will cause serious damage effect problems for weapons some will become far to weak and others far to strong. Increasing it has less of a negative effect and will mainly cause people to die faster as it should.KINDRED READ ME INFOThe Primal Hunt version of Pilot Project was not tested as much and is considered a beta test so there will be more bugs in itMake sure you set all weapons and classes to ON, BEFORE you activate the mod. Start a normal game and set every thing to on then go back and activate the mod. This version of the Mod does not support weapon and classes so that option does not work and will really mess things up if you try to use it, so DONT.The predator energy icon on their hud does not work correctly so you will not know an accurate amount but you will see it empty, its the best I can do for knowGetting in to a game- do to the class deactivation option in Primal Hunt you can only select certain characters to JOIN a game, however once in the game you can then select any character you want. It was brought to my attention that the game sometimes will set class characters off randomly so you may have to search for one to join with. This may be a pain at times for corps vs marines only games and such. The pred stalker seems to be the only one that stays available all the time so leaving one pred in every game should be a sure way for people can join, the game then auto changes them to another character if that class is full. Tools are character specific unlike regular avp2 players can not pick up hacking tools or torches so if youre playing a map that uses them you better have the right teammates with the right equipment Dual Pistols can be used however not all players can get them. Also once out of ammo you drop oneBUGS AND SUCHSome skins in SP and custom maps may be wrong the SADAR gunner is one of themFootprints, may in some maps end up floating in a spot in the map and still work on the ground. nothing I can do about that it has to do with how the map is builtIf you set your resolution differently overlays and other game modifications will not work as intended and will look all wrong. This mod was created using a basic 640x480x32 resolution.Some weapon models will JAM if you try hitting the fire key really fast in attempts to make the weapon shot faster then intended like the old trick with the sniper and pulse rifle either select another weapon or hit f1 twice to fixKINDRED- The big one is the weapon and character selection. do not use these at all, dont even look at it. Before you start activating the kindred mod. Start a normal game and turn all weapons and characters ON. Then quit and activate the mod.KINDRED - To Join a game you may have to select a character you dont want to join the game but once in you can select any character you want.MAIN GAME PLAY CHANGESMod is coop and MP skirmish friendly, weapons do the right damage to AI charactersI built in a rewards system into the game play. For example being a lowly face hugger is very difficult but allows you to be the strongest aliens in the game, the Warrior, the Predalien or the Queen. There are other rewards youll have to figure outThe jump on most human characters is drastically reduced. Humans now have to put more thought in their evasion tactics, the Mexican jumping bean approach will no longer work but team work and use of cover does.Character attributes such as speed and armor have been determined by the characters weapon load out. Some characters are set to give you the Queen when face hugged to make them a more desirable targetSome characters are immune to being faced hugged. Another reason why life cycle should be set to off.Class Weapons are always onNight Vision and Motion trackers are only given to certain characters New vision modes added to humans.CLASS OVERVIEW Preds have an advantage in one on one combat. There weapons do large amounts of damage but are set in a way to be more sporting which when faced by multiple opponents is a disadvantage.Aliens- with their new weapon types, allow players a verity of tactics, so dont play every alien the same way use their strengths and weakness. They are vulnerable at a distance but once in close they can kill easily.Marines- As a team they are almost unbeatable. Having a large assortment of weapons and munitions to choose from. Stick together and cover you teammates.Corporates- They too are strong as a team however each character has a more specialized role limiting their overall effectiveness. When filling their assigned role however individually they are unmatched.EXOs- Now can only be used by one type of character in the marines and one the corp. It now uses ammunition supplied by that player so you can gather more ammo and rearm the Exo. It no longer shows how much life you have left either. Im working on a damage effect like smoke or something for a later versionCHARACTER SPECSPREDATORSLight PredFaster and more agile but with lighter armor, the Juvenile can easily out maneuver humans and use its spear gun to stay concealed and attack from afar its light armor though gives it little benefit against heavy weapon assaults and Xenomorph melee attacks. The short ranged homing Disc does allow some advantaged over weaker Xenomorphs and humans however.EquipmentLIGHT BLADESRAZOR DISCSPEAR GUNPLASMA CANNON PICK UPHACKSELF DESTRUCTSCRAM GUN(PH)HuntressLike the Juvenile she is fast and agile but has slightly more armor. She uses the same tactics but is equipped with the Net Gun so she can render heavily armed human enemies immobile. Her spear gun fires poisoned tipped darts that cause damage over a long period of time and the secondary fire is a melee attack which also poisons its victims. This allows her to be very proficient in hit and run and evasion maneuvers.Equipment- LIGHT BLADESPOISON DART GUNNET GUNPLASMA CANNON PICK UPHACKSELF DESTRUCTSCRAM GUN(PH)StalkerHaving thicker armor then the light predators allows the stalker to survive most encounters with hostile prey and though armored still retains a high level of agility and speed. Equipped with the basic hunting gear of the plasma caster, net gun, spear and able to pick up the disc allows this predator a verity of hunting tactics. The Plasma Caster when Alt charged has increased velocity and stopping power. Equipment-WRIST BLADESSPEARSHOULDER CANNONDISC PICK UPNET GUNSELF DESTRUCTHACKING DEVICESpear Master Like the Stalker the Spear Master has good over all Physical abilities and standard armor. Its attack range though is limited by its use of staff weapons. The Javelin has a moderate range when thrown with high damage versus humans and weaker aliens. The Lance has a very fast melee attack causing light damage, it can also be thrown and locks on to enemies. Equipment- WRIST BLADESTHROWING SPEARHOMING SPEARPLASMA CANNON PICK UPHACKSELF DESTRUCTSCRAM GUN(PH)High HunterHeavily armored but slow and bulky, the Hunter can take on any prey in melee combat and hold its own. Preferring a more thrilling hunt he uses no vision modesEquipment- HEAVY BLADESTHROWING SPEARSHOULDER CANNONDISC PICK UPNET GUN PICK UPSELF DESTRUCTWarriorThe Warrior does not hunt its prey he lays waist to them. Though equipped with a cloak the warrior has little use for it. Its energy weapons drain far to much energy for it to be useful. A personal shield generator allows the warrior to find cover to recharge if he unwittingly used all his energy reserves in the heat of battle. This shield produces its own power and can also disrupt AI tracking weapons, unfortunately it can not stop large projectiles and area effect damage from getting through.Equipment-PLASMA BLADESWAR CANNONWRIST BLASTERENERGY SHIELDPLASMA CANNON PICK UPDISC PICK UPXeno Slayer(Kindred Only)Similar to the High Hunter he however has an advantage over Xenomorphs do to his use of Xenomorph armor. The Slayers chosen prey is the Xenomorph and so uses only that vision mode.During a ceremonial initiation of the clans juveniles, Xenomorphs overran his ship massacring his clan which triggered the self destruct. Alone he survived months of hunting and being hunted In his attempts to elude death he found ways of mixing the aliens fluids and soaking them in to his covering which diminished the aliens ability to effectively track him. This prolonged exposer to the fluids allowed them to seep through into his flesh blending with it causing permanent side effects.Equipment-XENO BLADETHROWING SPEARSHOULDER CANNONDISC PICK UPNET GUN PICK UPHACKSELF DESTRUCTMARINESCorp/Marine Combat Synthetic The class 3 Combat Synthetic is designed to fill the heavy machine gun support role with secondary skill sets in light rifle use. The synthetic vision is an improvement over night vision and makes spotting enemy units easier.

The Heavy Mortar can drop rounds behind enemy cover causing massive damage. If timed right it can also be air burst over enemy positions Equipped with a flame retardant suit and a shot gun incase things get too close.

More mobile then their other teammates they are able to quickly move, climb and crawl creating minimum disturbance. Gaining entry to areas that are inaccessible to others. Ghosts utilizes a cloaking device and high energy rifle. The cloak however is limited compared to the predator type, it can be overloaded by bright light, cant fool night vision and limits the amount of ordnance and protective gear that can be used. The energy rifle is equipped with a scope that can see through certain materials and smoke screens and its energy blast can kill with just a single hit. A charge delay before firing and its need to be reset after each discharge limits this weapon.Equipment-TANTO KNIFESILENCED PISTOLPLASMA RIFLENIGHT VISIONS.H.O.C.S.Special Hazardous Operations and Combat SquadEquipped with a verity of eradication, nullification and retrieval ordnance, these troops are heavily armored and use special vision modes to track, capture or eliminate Xenomorph threats.

The FIST was designed to be light and easily transportable and so limits the amount of ammunition it can store. FIST Operators must dismount and carry ammunition back to their units often, leaving them vulnerably to enemy attack. The need to carry the heavy ordinance slows them down so they are issued only light armor.Equipment-KNIFEPISTOLSHOT GUNFIST SUPPLIESTORCHF.I.S.T.Forward Infantry Support TacticalThough heavily armored and equipped with devastating fire power, the FIST is designed to be a force multiplier and not a stand along unit. Limited ammo stores and restricted peripheral vision at times leaves it vulnerably to attack. Its slow speed allows faster enemy units to out flank it and use hit and run tactics as well. Its best used to support light infantry in engagements against enemies with superior fire power or numbers. The infantry should assist in covering its flanks and spotting targets so the FIST can bring its weapons to bare on the target and concentrate its limited supply of munitions. XENOMORPHSPilot Strain Queens( AvP2 only) Smaller then the Xenomorph Queen and believed to come from the impregnation of the still unknown species of alien known as Pilot. It has the ability to birth facehuggers without the need for eggs and can resist fire damage and light ammunition fire. The Pilot face hugger is different from the Xeno facehugger and for some reason attacks other aliens. This behavior maybe a form of genocide, further research is needed.Pilot Strain Drones Born stronger then Xenos but has a faster molt cycle which limits it over all growth. Its heavier armor makes this drone slower then its Xeno cousins but gives it some fire resistance. Pilot drones are known to use a stream of disgorged acid to momentarily paralyze prey before closing to attack. Its armor like skin has serrated edges which allows it to shred through nets easily. Pilot strain and Xeno strain aliens have been known to show aggressive behavior towards each other. Arachnodrones Discovered in the deep thickets and under growth on LV-988. It lies in wait in burrows until prey happens by and traps them in a sticky acidic paste. Much weaker and slower then other drones its change in ontogenesis is believed to be an adaptation to LV-988s overgrowth of vine like vegetation which heavily hinders movement by anything larger then your average sized house cat.SentinelsA subclass of drone rarely seen. Found in hives that are under frequent attacks these drones are a kamikaze like last line of defense for the Queen. Its bulbous head contains sacks of biochemical agent which when the sacks membranes retract mix with the aliens blood causing it to explode into a shower of acid and acidic shrapnel. Weak and having a thin carapace its sole purpose is to die for the hive.Razorbacks Found on LV-348 where its major animal life was a porcupine like sloth. This alien is able to throw multiple barbed spikes that cause exquisite pain which momentarily stuns victims, it then closes to leap on them with a devastating claw attack. Weak and slow compared to other drones its ability to strike from afar gives this alien its lethality.Warriors Only seen before a hive is fully formed, the Warrior is believed to be the progenitor for the formation of new hives. Altering victims into facehugger eggs that can produce a Queen and once a Queen is established the occurrence or warrior type aliens dwindles and seem to be replaced by what are called drones. The Warrior slow molt cycle compared to the drone leaves it very vulnerable at first but allows it to grow stronger and deadlier then the drone. Born to survive and not just serve its strength is matched only by the Predalien. Both can only come from victims that have been face hugged and when they eat their first kills can double there health level. Once you are lucky enough to facehug a victim and change to an adult even if you die you will come back as a full grown alien but your health will always start out low until you can feed.PredalienA predalien is born when facehugging a predator. It is at first weak but if able to feed it will gain health that surpasses all other aliens but the warrior. Just as the warrior once you become an adult you stay an adult even after deathRunnersComing from basic quadruped hosts such as canines and large felines they are given a vicious bite attack. Runners are faster then drones and warriors and prefer to run down their prey like a cheetah rather then pounce or use their tail. The tail on the runner is very weak doing little damage. Its legs and arms are more suited for running on open ground thus if the Runner tries climbing its mobility will be greatly reducedFacehugger Light skinned and a bit slow it is capable of impregnating hosts with a larva which then matures to a Warrior, a Queen or if the host is a Predator a Predalien. Its small size allows it to hide until an unlucky victim happens by QueenShe is strong fast and heavily armored. Capable of tearing a man in half with little effort. She can not wall walk very well, Small areas are inaccessible to her but on an open field shell strike fear in the hearts of anyone unlucky enough to face her. She is only playable if you face hug the right characterEmpress(Queen Mother)Stronger then the Queen she can destroy any thing in her path. Her large size though can allow prey to evade her by hiding in areas too small for her to enter. Being so powerful it would be wise to set queen molt kills to above 7 at leastBio-Mechanoid (KINDRED Only)Bio-Mechnoids are captured Xenomorphs that have had extensive synthetic augmentation. The control units grafted into their skulls were intended to moderate their aggressive behavior and make them more controllable for security and urban pacification. Unfortunately these components only amplified their hostility to the point of rabid psychoses. Most were terminated when the experiment failed but a few managed escaped containment and returned to their hive. Similar to your basic drone it has however more armor and less life also has the synthvision mode.New Specifications For Weapons, Ammo, Equipment and Abilities MARINEKnife - works just like the originalHand Grenade - Simply fire to throw the frag grenade has a short range Knife/ Throwing Knife- alt switch to use the throwing knife alt switch back to use the knife uses time grenades as an ammo pool Tanto (Ghost blade) functions like the knife with a charging strike like the pred wrist blades, however the charged cut comes at the back swing so timing your cut is necessary.

Also can stun and cause power drain on predsSHOC Pulse Rifle - same as marine pulse but has a shot gun secondary instead, did this so the shoc wouldnt have the need for as many pick up weaponsG.U.N. (Iron Bear only) Low fire rate and ammo count but uses SADAR tracking to aim. Uses pulse ammoFlame Thrower - has much less ammo but does more damage. Best used in bursts.Grenade launcher(Marine only) now has explosive, napalm, gas and smoke rounds.

Uses smart gun tracking to aim. Some maps with low sky boxes dont allow this weapon to be used. If not locked on to you target you should aim at a nearby object such as a crate this weapon can not aim at non objects such as the ground and walls in some maps. This is a one shot weaponOrbital Rail Strike (TARGAT only)- Functions the same as above.FIST Supplies - Not a weapon but carried by the Corp FIST Pilot and Marine Heavy Weapons Trooper this allows the troopers to carry ammo to the FIST and resupply it when it runs outFIST Minigun - causes high explosive damage and has a high rate of fire. It uses the same ammo pool as its Flame thrower. This was done to keep the fist needing to be supplied and to keep it from becoming to powerful FIST Flame Thrower - same a normal napalm. uses the same ammo pool as the fist mini gunFIST Rockets - High explosive and wide area damage. It uses the Napalm rocket pool so use of rockets in the FIST will take ammo from the SADAR the Marine carries.Pred Hunter Pistol- Similar to the old Pred pistol but removed the secondary trishot stunPred Hunter Spear Gun- Single shot then reloads has a sniper zoomPred Hunter Wrist- Similar damage and speed as the Pred wrist bladesNew Marine Equipment SpecsTorch/ welder- same as the one found in the game but now does more damage to player targets Hacking tool - same as the one found in the gameMotion Tracker - Has less accuracy do to it using larger blips and is only available to a few troops.
