Threve

Oh btw. - Mysterious Offshore portal Features: A tiny island in the middle of the water with 4 Surface to Air missiles and 1 Hellfire Missile. Also has a massive but blocked off Portal. Still don’t know how to get into it (the portal). I was able however to glitch my way in there using the RC Tank. When I went inside the portal though it teleported me to hell. I believe that the portal will take you to hell until deactivated correctly, however this is just speculation. It may actually just end up taking you to hell after all.. How to get to location: Go to the Bridge leading into the Desert Military base and halfway through the bridge (middle of the Bridge) go towards the ocean for a while. You’ll then see this floating platform shortly. Be warned the turrets will attack your aircraft.  This fucking thing. I actually ended up unlocking the barrier and doing it the correct way and it fucking took me to hell. Is it supposed to take you to hell or am i doing something wrong here?

Those I believe that truly would like to experience the game and enjoy the mystery of things won't look at this guide. However someone who is looking for that certain object or really doesn't care will. Furthermore with the amount of time it takes to earn money, the size of the map (Flying for 2 minutes over water and not knowing where you're going), the threat of buying something expensive and the server crashes or a AI blows it up for no reason.. I think it is fair to say it (The Guide) will be used accordingly by those who wish to bypass all of that or are fed up with grinding for something. That being said I still am missing some things that I've only seen in death match or heard about such as the Nuclear BattleSub, the ROFLCopter and I haven't seen the Halo Rocket Launcher ethier in-game. So.. while the guide is pretty extensive. There will always be a secret or two to chase. I feel the guide will never be finished due to the depth.. I mean the person with the most perks is only at 60%. So I still have alot of chasing to do myself!

Ty. I see. I've found almost every vehicle by now and weapons with a couple mystical and ultra rare ones being elusive. It can be said however that @Forget or the player "forgot" has unlocked %63.73 of the perks thus far. I'll list all the ones I have but of course the perks section will need updating from others with said perks.

@moonsense715 @Jerad2142 I have wrote a very extensive guide to ECW. When complete is it possible it could be featured on the main page due to it’s depth?

Nvm. Renahalo has been found and will be updated.

This is meant to be a specific guide. Where is the exact location of both of these?

I mean this in the most respectful way possible to you and everyone else who comment. Is it possible you can tell the exact location or where about's? Of course if you along with another group believes this game should be explored and secrets kept I fully understand as well. Any help is appreciated regardless.

Though I agree/am aware of some things being kept secret because of the nature of the game. I do also believe that the game is so expansive/old there should be a guide. Anyone reading this thing is probably a old timer or plays the game often and the belief is that this will help find that one object, perk or thing you've always wanted without spending 5 hours doing so. Further more with the server/game crashing on so many things I think it would be fair.

Good Evening all. Due to the amount of things in ECW and no real collection or wiki for it, I am making a user guide that will hopefully shed some light on where to find things or get perks. I understand there will be a group that will say "That's just the nature of the game. You should go find stuff". But I am not interested in spending 2 hours trying to find a vehicle that i've been wanting forever and also have to earn money for in the first place. I hope you find this information well and encourage all with knowledge to post their findings below as it would really help out. I do not have everything unlocked and also forgot some things so do remember this thread will be ongoing as people list things of their own. Again, please comment on anything you have found yourself that isn't included. Thank you.

Almost any map is possible here in APB. There has been a lot of crazy shit I've seen happen in maps here in the past couple of years. But creating a new map (especially an air map) is a huge development due to the fact it takes - Creating the actual map - Planning/Blue Print - A committee agreeing it's a good idea - Testing/Balance - Making sure it is aesthetically pleasing - A lot of time spent which is diversion from other projects/maps - With the introduction of Interim Apex, APB player count is not as high as before therefor creating anything new for it has not been as top of a priority/some support has been lost. With this said and in an honest answer from seeing how things go here I would highly recommend you draw up some blueprints if you want the map to have a chance of coming to fruition. If you start to develop said map/learn how and start a thread then people will definitely help you see it to completion and you'll get support for it to be put into game.

Just for clarity. Is this going to be leaning towards a - PUBG - APB - Sole Survivor or - Battle Field type of gameplay? From what I'm reading it is going to be a combo of some of these but I am still trying to understand which it's leaning more towards. Or is this going to be a completely new type of FPS gameplay?

Congrats to all the winners! Good job @Y2K You deserve it!

Just finished installing updates to ECW specifically. Everything works how it should now.

Good Evening all. I am attempting to play ECW but in order to do so I need to sign unto my W3D account.. However when I click login and type my shit in it is saying that the password/username is incorrect. I am %100 positive I am typing in the right credentials as I type the same username/password on here and it logs me in. I have also tried every other password I typicaly use just in case and absolutely nothing. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. EDIT: I have also tried restarting my computer but I have not had any luck still. EDIT#2 : I didn't install updates. Trying to install updates now and will update if it works or not for future people reading this.

To encourage screenshotting all year and playing. I suggest this be held again. Every december is the best of the year screenshots.

So the files you're referring to/want to put in are .wav or actual sound files? Not text based? As for donations I am not sure. IA and all mod projects here are created in free time and the artists/mods here are not paid. Everything is done by heart/soul. However the servers to host the game and allow people to play are paid for by donations. I do not know how much it is a month however donations are always graciously accepted.

100% down for this.

In general not a fan of extended wait times for vehicles as I don’t see it as that much of a problem. I’d probably just buy a Kov than wait at that point. Though if it had to be implement I would say this would be the best way.

No. Putting a build time for vehicles (such as 15 seconds) would also disable vehicle rushes or make them painfully slow. Imagine building a mammoth tank, a spy steals it and you can’t even get anouther to defend your base. Also it would give more time to said defenders to learn about a sneak attack. The time limit in game also constitutes a problem with this making last minute rushes to win a near impossiblilty.

Like Renegade, the Final Evolution would be implementation into a newer engine such as Unreal Engine. But with the almost dead community of Renegade, lack of RTS titles to bring popularity to this genre, amount of work required, lack of artists/modelers to work for free on a project of this scale, the whole dev team here having to learn the in's/outs of a New Engine.. I don't believe it would happen or at least anytime in the foreseeable future. The only way it could is advertising to make it worth it and paying artists but I don't believe anyone here wants to invest that amount of input and i don't blame them. For APB in its current state it is incredible what has been done with what we got. When and if this game reaches a finalized completed state i'd still rather play this than a new era graphics version due to the aesthetic. There's something about the quirkiness and pixelated block characters that give this game a certain charm in my opinion and connect a little better with the Old Schoolness that is RA. A Path Beyond as it stands is an incredible game and compared with most titles (much less mods) is very well balanced and unique. The only irony is that such a great game requires players to really make it shine as of which it is difficult to accumulate 10 much less 20 at a single time. This type of game was made for high player count and it stands out when played as such.

Are you ok?

Im something worse than Naughty. I have to be Santa and dish out $$ that could be spent on C&C for presents.

It can be done. A while back I changed the strings (Names of things) on APB for my WW2 mod. Making the medium tank be called the Pershing and Light tank called Sherman and such. I simply found the strings.ddb file or whatever it was called and edited all the names. Saved it and put it back in the data folder. So it would be entirely possible... All I would need however is the translation for things and since there are alot of things it would require quite a bit of help from the translator on their end. This means I would need translations for every weapon, vehicle, building, Character, helicopters and such. If you can look in-game provide me with such a list of translations then I should be able to make it happen. I would do it myself but i'm 1. Not about to google translate everything. 2. I'm sure some of the google translation wouldn't make any sense as they don't have any direct translations. Let me know what you think. Unless of course you cannot do the translations yourself? EDIT: You said you use the Tiberian Technologies Launcher. Can you get the Strings.tdb from the data files in this launcher? I think you can just grab the Strings.tdb from the Tiberian Technologies version and just put it into the W3D Hub data files.

Sounds exciting. Ty for the update!
