Okay, now that's strange. Anyways, I plan to rework on the barricade since the new properties are kinda different.

Thanks to point it out.

Well that would definitely be a hole.

Today, this mod is officially 4 years since its release. Smile

I downloaded the latest version since I wanted to give Cold Quest for Peace another shot, but when I download it the palletes seem to be missing for some reason.

**Don Vecta** Sun Feb 07, 2016 8:39 pm

To celebrate the new year of the monkey, did a run of the Lan Dao mission to be in the festive mood from China.

Happy new year, 新年快乐 Gong hei fat choi!

graylandertagger Sun Feb 07, 2016 9:12 pm

Well, thanks for the upload, but for some reason I can't find the palletes in the download anymore. They seem to be missing.

A great challenge! Playing it on Normal, reminded me of Sor Remake base game's Mania difficulty! Hard action and satisfying battle! One of the better mods i have tried and i still haven't beaten it entirely!

I'm really glad you're enjoying the challenge.

Well, HUNTER was my first baby and was my subject with tons of experiments through all these years with the usage of the SORmaker features, my balance in those days was quite awful, but with the practice and experience i've got, I think my difficulty balanced has improved a lot in my latest mods.

So, hopefully, my next mods will be friendlier to all difficulties. Razz

Thank you for playing!

At last i got to beat it through and through, only exception the subway to the far right of the DLC hub (insta-death game over cut my legs). I have some questions though:

First mission, the easy one, Rau Paul (the millionaire rumored to be behind the territorial gang violence), always escapes confrontation by default, or you can get at him by picking other route?

Hmmm, just what is the dirty little secret between Ash and Abadede...? Hm?

The custom sound effects are from Golden Axe (my most beloved game ever), as well as other ones. The rest are custom made, or used from another game? If yes, from where?

And finally, how so a single death brings game over, in the last mission??

The difficulty though was very nice, no reason to balance it or water down! Razor sharp action even on normal was very satisfying, i really enjoyed it! Being on the tip of your toes all the time and having to react quick, was a great adrenaline rushing experience! First time on normal difficulty that i was forced to spend a continue, too!

You DEFINITELY should try the other route. The outcome is completely different.

That wasn't Abadede, that was Sex Machine, a completely different guy... well, almost different. Wink

Final Fight, GA2, GA1, is a mix 'n'match. Actually, that sound pack is kinda outdated. I'd do a new data pack with custom items, consumables and whatnot but... nah, I really don't feel like doing another update on HUNTER, I'd rather move into part 2 instead.

Not sure I follow. Which mission are you talking about?

I'm really glad you enjoy it. This mod is meant to be replayed several because most missions have different endings according to the choices made. The more you get the endings, the more you'll learn about the HUNTER universe's lore and how it starts to dwell into a deeper plot.

Thank you for playing.

Security Fri Apr 08, 2016 7:13 pm

Thanks for the reply! I will try other routes too, then!

About the game over, i was playing the mission, down to underground, from the DLC hub, the DLC series 1.

Edit: I finally beat it, i had to beat everyone up before countdown ends. Max is always the best remedy for such problems, he he... The fake university students, it was quite fun!

I ended up taking the metro, then struggling on top of moving vehicles and later, in a place i don't remember well, there was a countdown; i failed to beat an enemy within limit and "Game Over" screen came! I will retry that, too!

Ah Subway Mayhem.

Well, yeah... boarding the train is "forgivable", not disarming the bombs on time they're not. That's precisely the thrill of this mission. Try harder, or get a high damage character. Good luck.

Guest Sat Apr 09, 2016 12:41 pm

Or delete the savegame file inside the Hunter mod folder, since it's making you play Mania no matter what difficulty you chose. Wink

WillyTheSquid Mon Nov 28, 2016 7:28 am

So, there seems to be an issue with getting stuck in the metro seats when grabbing an enemy. Happened to me twice in a single playthrough. Got freed by another enemy both times though.
There's also some other minor bugs that I don't remember from pre-5.1 days but it might just be my hazy memory.

I never actually played the Cold Quest for Peace DLC before, have to say that was HARD. Actually got to use the chopper police special indoors in one of the "Save Jeremy" levels (the mall one).

Today I went through every path in the main mod and mapped it out so I didn't miss anything. After playing Adam's Story and HUNTER 2.0, I will say that I am getting tired of the constant in-fight cutscenes. Yeah, cutscenes are now skippable but you have to wait until your character can move, then stand still while enemies rush you as you hit the X button twice to kill the dialog. And then you walk a few steps and yup, more talk.

I would very much appreciate it if modmakers could just give me the option to play a dialogue-light version of their mods. It's fine for the first couple playthroughs but after I am familiar with the branching level paths and storyline, I can do without all the chatter overlaid on the screen blocking my view.

Now I know it could probably just be removed by me using SORmaker, but that does not run on Linux AFAIK.

Guest Mon Nov 28, 2016 12:21 pm

Push X twice (the button for star-moves).
Dialogue gone.

As is evident by my previous post, I know that the dialogue can be skipped. That was not my point exactly.

Just fired up and finished HUNTER Nightsweeper twice today... so that's pretty much the Full Trilogy of Fanon-mods I went through in the past couple days (Adam's Story, HUNTER & Nightsweeper).

I realize that my remarks about the dialogue can come off as nitpicking, and I guess in some sense they are. I tend to re-play the really good mods quite a bit and that's when the storyline aspects become secondary to the gameplay -- because after a while of replaying the same levelset, I already know what the narrative is and I don't need the hints anymore. But I will want to keep replaying the mod for all of its other good aspects: enemy placement, inventive level design, beautiful backgrounds, novelty, challenging difficulty, great music, different routes to take, etc, etc. Having to "close a popup window" again and again to get back into the action takes me out of the rhythm of the game.

Well, to each their own.

I for one look forward to the next batch of projects brewing in the community. bounce

Oh damn, sorry, I must've looked here while tired or drunk. I'm usually the one berating others for not paying attention.
Oops. Razz

**Don Vecta** Wed Nov 30, 2016 4:55 am

Well, I think you gotta get to skip the dialogues by youself... (or remove them from the folder yourself) because I don't plan to do any change about that any time soon. The game is story wise intense and removing that is removing what makes the game as it is.

Besides, I don't think I'd be doing any other further patch anymore, basically, this is the final version of H.U.N.T.E.R. and for my initial mod I think it's okayish to be considered final. There's lot more projects I'm still yet to finish.

Please, don't take this in the wrong way, of course, my intention wasn't offensive, just straightforward as it is. Thanks for playing again this old mod. Smile

So... I can remove the dialog txt files and not break anything?
Can I also remove some of the dialogue from inside the txt files and not bork the mod?

And I understand your point of view, I'm definitely not offended. Thanks for the tip on how to do my own solution!

vince Fri Dec 02, 2016 1:18 pm

I think the same: there are too many dialogues. During the cutscene it is too long (and too bad there is no button in SORR to pass to the next line quickly), and during the levels, I have to chose between fight without reading or read and lose life.
I know the trick of renaming the script folder to avoid custscenes and dialogues (I use it for example to make disappear russian and other languages I don't understand), or just put the .txt files in a sub folder. But with H.U.N.T.E.R., a big part of the interest of the mod comes from the story, so I can't do that. So I often doubleX during the fights and I am patient during the cutscenes. It is too bad cause it is the only default of the mod, but at the end that's a detail.

And yes, you can change everytinh you want in the text files, but I advice you to keep a copy of the original script folder in a corner.

**Don Vecta** Fri Dec 02, 2016 3:04 pm

Heh, the mod's in your computer, you can modify as much as you want (not that your modifications will affect all the copies of HUNTER worldwide, right? lol) Very Happy

Needless to say, I ain't responsible for whatever tweaking you do to the mod. Razz

I still just do X X and skip everything. Never been an issue for me.

vince Tue Jan 10, 2017 4:44 pm

I did the all game once again these last days, still a pleasure! I like the beautiful enemies palettes and the variety of the missions, and I especilly like the last DLC that uses customized objects and areas with rooms (and some secret rooms, so rare in SORR).
A question about the end with Mr. G: is it true, or that's just a dream because of the drug? Even if I can't imagine a fight on the wall of a building, except for Spiderman (the background comes from this one?).

Everything that happened in that last scene in Vegas was a huge hallucination, but... strangely enough, a collective hallucination. How could that happen? Murphy said the gang was simply beating up mooks with a blank stare (hence in the ending you see the huge amount of bodies thrown all over the place). Was the collective hallucination one of the unique effects this drug had? What could be the true intent of its creation besides the supposed recreational purpose? Is there a way to control the hallucination by someone? All these questions could be answered in... Twisted Evil
