SS2 Christine FM2: UNN Nightwalker v3

[6800cb95bb2fdChristine]

Tags: °FM °SS2 °nightwalkerThis is the FM campaign UNN Nightwalker, version 3 (v2 was discussed on TTLG here and then here), the sequel to the FM-Campaign Ponterbee Station.

In version 3 all levels were revised, some changes and extensions were done, a few new objects added as well as some features of SCP. Respawning is finally working correctly and the object-shrink mod has been included. NewDark 2.48 (installable via SS2Tool) and SHTUP-ND are required.

The V3a patch readds a few fixes that have been lost in the last update, fixes some additional bugs, applies a few tweaks from SCP (it's highly recommended to have it active in the modmanager while playing the fan mission, this will enable a few extra enhancements), and includes the new voiceovers by Terri Brosius, the original Shodan VA. Requires the latest SS2tool update (10april2025 or newer). Extract the zip to your Nightwalker folder, and overwrite.

Updated screenshots can be found on my homepage and I have also uploaded all objects that I built for the updates (in case someone else wants to build a level).

The audio logs of this mission are collected here: https://www.systemshock.org/shocklogs/fm/nightwalker/

Did you do logs for this one as well? I liked your work in Ponterbee, the german accent was a nice change from the almost endless american accents in stock ss2.

Also the woman who did Shodan was great, her voice didn't have the same smooth sexy quality of the original. But i think the malevolence in her voiced surpassed the original.

Yeah I did the voice for Mark Simons. There's a list of the voice actors in the readme of this FM.

I haven't had a chance to play Ponterbee yet.  You think I should play this first since it's the prequel, or do you think it would be better to play Ponterbee first since it came out first?

[6800cb95bb7feKolya]

I *heard* you should have played Ponterbee first.

From the ReadMe:
This is a sequel to the FM 'Ponterbee Station'. If you don't understand the whole story please play
Ponterbee Station first.

[6800cb95bb8edZeebok]

Right, then I'll play Ponterbee first.  I should have some free time this weekend actually

At last.Screenshots are good.
Still downloading...

[6800cb95bbaf2Dvorak]

Just chyming in to notify you that the link points to Ponterbee Station, and not the UNN Nightwalker torrent.
Also, it seems the link for the screenshots does not work?

[6800cb95bbc51Christine]

I just moved my homepage to a new server yesterday, you find the screenshots here: http://zinkchristine.de/unn-nw.html 

[6800cb95bbd32Kolya]

Aye, both fixed.

[6800cb95bbe1aDvorak]

Jolly good then =)
Awesome screenshots, I must say.

This is the FM campaign UNN Nightwalker (as discussed on TTLG), the prequel to the FM-Campaign Ponterbee Station.

I know it's been a while, but I think you should change "prequel" for "sequel" in your first post.

[6800cb95bc3c7Kolya]

Yes, you're right of course. Changed.

[6800cb95bc539Chandlermaki]

Uhm... I activated this FM with the modmanager. Then I deactivated it and SS2 doesn't work, it crashes right after opening cutscene...

[6800cb95bc636Kolya]

Check the uninstallation instructions in the Readme of this FM and see if the Modmanager forgot anything.
If you find the problem a short report would be nice.

[6800cb95bc7a4Silencer150]

Just finished this one as well.  (Hope I don't have uninstallation problems myself.)  Nice sequel, with a much more structured plot.  Also, see my comments about the first mission. 

I do have a couple of criticisms though.  First, I felt that the skill progression in this mission was too predetermined, and this ties into my second criticism.  The mission isn't long enough to fully develop most skill specializations, being only five decks made up of single maps.  I know it's not necessary to purchase high-end skills to win the mission, but I still felt like I was left hanging.  I would have preferred to play Ponterbee and Nightwalker end-to-end, as the same contiguous campaign, but that's just me.

UNN Nightwalker V2 is released. I added a new engineering level, new custom objects, AIs and multiplayer models.
Please note: I also had to add a very small startlevel to make it multiplayer ready.

You can take a look at some Screenshots here: UNN Nightwalker V2

Special thanks to Greenhorn and NamelessVoice for their help.

You can download it here: Filefront.

I hope you'll like it.

[6800cb95bca04Kolya]

Updated to version 2, see first post.

[6800cb95bcb1dnpeteyd]

I just got done playing Ponterbee, which was excellent btw, and would like to play Nightwalker.  However, there have been no bittorrent seeds for several days and I am stuck at 0%.  The also does not appear to be on filefront.  Could someone please seed this?  I am more than happy to continue seeding once I have downloaded it.
Thanks!

[6800cb95bcc2bChristine]

It looks like filefront just deleted all my SS2 files, I don't know why... 

I'm sorry, I can't help you with bittorrent, I never get it to work on my computer 

[6800cb95bcd0bKolya]

Uploaded again to megaupload.

[6800cb95bce93Doooom]

I've just been playing and I must say it is as great as Ponterbee station! One remark though, the lack of a map was a big downside for Ponterbee as for this one. I don't really know why there's no map, but Zygo (or whoever made Zygo Arena) knows how to make 'em (since there were maps at Arena).

<part deleted>

EDIT: Okay sorry people, I didn't see the ladders on those big fuel things. I've deleted the part concerning the problem.

Just finished Ponterbee Station and really enjoyed it...

Just started UNN Nightwalker and can't figure how to escape the
holding cell where you start in...I have no weapons or skills yet...
I see a guard in the distant patrolling...Can't find any weapons or
means of escape...Any hints???

[6800cb95bd28aEnchantermon]

Everything should happen automatically. Try walking around the cell a bit if you haven't already.
