Heart of Evil: Napalm Edition Released!

[Dridmar]

I've been waiting for this mod a while now and it's finally here! I was a fan of the original so I should enjoy this version too.
Here's a link for you lazy fuggers http://www.moddb.com/mods/heart-of-evil-napalm-editon (Download links are in the profile)

I'll be playing this while waiting for the MSC patch which might? be out shortly.

Nice!

I remember trying it ages ago, but the mod kept crashing after about halfway through.

Then I downloaded it again, only to find out my new ATi card blows at OpenGL.

Then I downloaded it again, when I got my nVidia card, ..ended up getting stuck in a looping save where Barney hated me and wouldn't stop pewpewing me :/


I'll try this version out, since I liked the original, as annoying as my issues were
Thanks 4 post.


off-offtopic: MS:C server will be back up when new mobo arrives.

Wasnt worth my time, would be better if they sticked to their initial plan and just make better models.

They removed some parts that really make the game (the chopper ride at the beginning and the boat ride near the end).
The game takes itself less seriously than the original but unlike it, it does so in a childish and unfunny way.

I tought the ending of the original was out of place (and somewhat of a turnoff) considering the whole mod, but how they changed the last part in this remake made me realize the old one was gold was gold.

how much was it? two years? two year only to *uck up this mod?

Of course, given from a developing point of give, the guys who worked on this made a fantastic job, but they *ucked a classic.

also....


WHY THE *UCK KURTZ DOESNT LOOK LIKE MARLON *UCKING BRANDO?

I played the first two or three missions, and I have to say it is definitely a lot different.

The model updates were pretty good, along with some of the map changes. The humor was sort of funny, unless you get offended easily. I don't see why they couldn't keep the transitions, make it an extra map if need be!

The only other issue I've had is none of the three retards I rescued wanted to fly the plane... so I had to force a map change.

[Edit] The chumtoad & Note list didn't work right for me either :/

On a side note, I got my server patched up! Did some heavy duty cleaning/tweakin' and also got it boosted to 500fps!
It definitely runs a lot smoother,.. not sure about full capacity though.

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

I never played the original but based on this thread it appears to be better. So how good is the original? Can it be compared to all-time classics such as They Hunger, Poke646, Wanted!, Absolute Redemption (my personal favorite) and Someplace Else?

 

[FER]

Yes, its a well known classic

Yeah Dridje, the voice acting looks like it was made by little kids who spew internet memes all the time.
Porting the models to the original wouldnt be as easy as it seems since some models use different skeletons or sequences (houndeye/dog)

I stick to the original, they f*cked this remake way too much

 

[Red Cell]

The multiplayer isn't too shabby.

Okay I have finally finished playing through and the ending.....sucked. When I made it to the temple I didn't know what to expect but when "Perkerbutt" humor and the artifact I lost all hope in the mod. I came to the last area expecting to be caught but I wasn't and apparently they only made minor edits to the last map. I went to see Barney but he wasn't there, only the little message came up when you look at certain objects.

This remake was a failure in my opinion, I bet they called it the napalm edition because they knew it could be flamed for what they did to a great mod.

Part of the "catch" of the original was that the mod was loosely based from Apocalypse Now:

-the chopper ride playing music: REMOVED
-the boat trip transition, altough long: REMOVED
-Kurtz throwing the severed head of barney at you: REMOVED
-Kurtz looking like Marlon Brando: REMOVED

They can get offende all they want, even if the coding, the models, the mapping was done with all their hearts and going trough so much work, they fucked up the game.
I really lowered my head in shame once I saw the last chapter intro window, with some stupid drawings and cat typing saying "letz killz kurtz" or something. Not to mention those transition window kill the inmmersion of the game.
