timefall Created 20 years ago2004-10-03 13:57:58 UTC by MyNameIsSteve!

anybody here beat timefall? cuz im STUCK, as usual...

im sure tlax wrote a guide to it. whether its in english i dont know...

most of us beat timefall a long time ago, but if you need help, fire away.

Its in Swiss, I checked. I can't read one word of it. But Ive beaten it(without cheating). what do you want help with?

yeah cool ok...well i got the generator running and im at the tank in front of the huge portal thingy, but i cant get the tank to start. GRRRR it wont turn on..what am i suppost to do?
thanks

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... sorry I don't knwo where that is, heh. What chapter are you in and what is te environent around you like? maybe it will come back to me.

ok its like im in the huuuuuuge room with the portal thingy with the huge pendulums, and its running and spinning and making lots of noise, cuz i just turned it on..and err.. im suppost to drive the tank into the portal and its all setup to do it, but the start button on the tank isnt working so im not sure what im suppost to do.
hmm hope that helps clarify a bit

Oh yeah! I thought you meant a tank as in like a water tank or something haha. There should be a button somewhere near the gate blocking you from driving the tank any further after you raise it up that lowers the gate. if you have already done this and the tank still won't move, heck, it worked for me. If all else fails use noclip and fly into the portal.

grr its no use, iv already lowered the bridge thingy, and i just fall right through the portal, it wont work unless im in the tank or something

lol yeah. i killed all the aliens, done everything i know to do. there must be some way?

Ask our good man Tommy Tlax if he pops in.

hmm....after i kill the first 2 aliens, no more appear. iv tried it a bunch of times but no work.

Yes I know I think you must go and start from a Autosave.
OR
In next map "fall12l" you go by a space-time travel sequence and you lose al your weapon, and in next map "fall14n" one of your missons is to find new.
Since you are a mapper I tell you this,
Take down the consolen and type in " map fall12l " and travel through the space travel and, when the next map have load and you are in the air and look out over a bridge and a guard house, now you take down the console again and type " give item_suit" now you have the HEV suit and you can start to play, but be careful you have no ammor in the suit, you find a storage tank on the botten of the lake go under and in through the top hatch and you find what you need.
Good luck

Just out of curiosity: how much was Timefall playtested?

No idea... I can't beat it though. The only way I came close was using noclip, and that had to be followed by and impusle 101... I started cheating after spending 3 hours (im serious) trying to get into that hut. Only way I got through was by noclipping.

...just jump onto the windowledge, then jump again.

I beat Timefall in an hour and a half.

Captain P: Of course! Timefall is beta tested many times and lot of hours. And many hours have gone to fix detail and some really bad bugs.
From the beginning Timefall where on 20 maps but my first beta tester give me lot of job, and we decide to leave out five maps from the finish product.
It have four beta tester from the beginning, two player and two mapper/player, unfortunately one of the mapper crash with is car and he go on hospital under long time and that where a sad thing .
But the rest did a really good job for me and Timefall.
Timefall is an add-on over 15 maps and is only two bugs but it not really bug it is a technical problem in the entity setup and of course we or I should find it in the test but we didn?t.
And only complain I have is in the map with the timeteleporter ?fall11k? and it is there the problem can be.
In the rest of the maps the puzzle gives the player problem, and I have warning the player in the readme file Timefall is a puzzle and it is made for player as like to use the brain.
And every puzzle part is a typical HL or HL-Mod used puzzle, I have only try to build in the tricks in a more complex course of events, or some thing.
Example: if you jump and you don?t make it is impossible! Use the brain, is there some another way to do this on? And of course, in Timefall you have another way to go!
But the players of to day give up to easy and go to the console and use the cheat commando.
And yes! My older friends on Hangar 16 they like Timefall and have not so big problem, but many of the younger player have lot of problem in Timefall, I think it is how the player style is, how the player have be used to play, and the experience the player have from single maps.
