What's happened to ADT?
Well my little bugmunchers,
witth the downfall of the Mill, and the release (on PC only) of Myth 3, ADT
and most other forms of mything appears to be in decline. it is now no longer
possible to download ADT maps, although the tagset can be downloaded courtesy
of Lt. Traveller (on the downloads page) , as i simply do not have the web
space available (if anyone has about 30mb to spare for adt's FTP access this
will be appreciated)
So while TMBM and myself take a break from mything to heal up our mouse fingers,
rest assured that we will be bringing you new and fantastic MYTH 3 mods as soon
as the software to bring them to you becomes available. On a personal level,
I look forwards to providing you Sci-Fi fans an "epic work" to sink
your teeth into. maybe not based on the alien movies this time, but certainly
along the same lines.
STRANGELET RETIRES FROM ADT - YOU WANT THE JOB?
If you would be interested in taking over the development of ADT, please drop me an email. i know that alot of people in the community had plans to contribute to the solo project, JIHAD, but I myself do not forsee my involvement in such further development to be realistic considering my current real-life workload, and my involvement in other games development projects.
Maybe some of you might like to organise an ADT gaming club or league, since the main gripe about ADT was the lack of anyone else to play it with... if you're interested in doing that i'd give you FTP access to this site to promote it...
JIHAD - THE NOVELLA
in preperation for authoring the JIHAD solo campaign, i decided it might be best if i outlined the plot in superfluous detail, so i wrote a short novella which can be downloaded HERE or on the downloads page
So as i've said, hold your breath for myth 3's proliferation. we must look to the future.

Our first 4th party map has been released! MUNITIONS BASE by Lt. Traveller of Marine Recon is a nifty map with tweaked gameplay. it makes great use of sentry guns in guarding things like territory flags, captures balls etc etc. the real highlight for me is that EVERYTHING on this map is liable to blow up if a stray shot lands too near, so although there are plenty of nades, du mags and flame packs lying around, dont stand next to them for too long!
you can download ADT- munitions base from our downloads section, or at the mill
FILM O THE WEEK This week in trav's new map, munitions base, where bio shows how terries should be done...

30/08/01 - Lt.Traveller is a saviour. he has gallantly recompressed the ADT tagset as a ZIP file for anybody having problems recognising the .sit compressed plugin.
if your MYTH does not recognise the adt tagset (the interfacce is still the original myth interface) then try downloading it HERE - also available in our downloads section. trav is also working on a new adt map, Munitions Base, which should be out soon. we'll be featuring it here on the site when it's released...

download ADT. kill. Enjoy.
Alien - Dark Tide is a white knuckle sci-fi Total Conversion from Strangelet
of TMBM.
Set in the universe of the cult ALIENS films, this TC is an action packed romp
through the genre, boasting 12 new units, 5 new netmaps, a whole new scenery
and sound set and an atmospheric new interface to boot.
Stomp on the alien queen's toes with a power loader. Run screaming from facehuggers,
flee through dark corridors with huge guns shouting GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER!
Witness the rush of spindly death as the aliens break over the outpost walls,
edge your way through the hive in the pitch darkness waiting for death to leap
out at you. feel the satisfying crunch as your pulserifle shells hammer into
brittle alien skulls, laugh uproariously as you kick helpless colonists all
around their colony complex!
If you ever wanted to be a space marine, this TC is for you.
ADT is a much faster paced game than many myth mods, with a sharp division between
the two opposing forces. The marines, armed to the teeth with fine long range
guns and grenades, and the aliens, inferior at range but utterly lethal in close
combat, and incredibly fast moving.
The game requires not only good strategy but unhesitant execution, and those
who dally often meet an untimely death at the hands of a well executed offensive
move. Weapons are generally more powerful, so that inflicting fatalities rather
than casualties can be the order of the day if you use your forces correctly.
The graphics of adt have been lovingly scratchbuilt by strangelet, featuring
such details as dropships, uplinks, hanging chains etc for that gritty future
feel, and the addition of some new models by Joyeuse and a few retextured ones.
There were early promises of great scripting to come from ADT, and alas we have
not been able to get any of it to work reliably enough to include it with this
initial release, but thanks to plugin patcher we will be updating ADT whenever
we get a chance. Despite these setbacks we still feel that we have a cracking
conversion for you which you should play until you drop down dead.
Feedback and Bug reports - please go and leave a forum post.
RECCOMENDED SYSTEM - G4 w/128mb or more RAM
ADEQUETE SYSTEM - G3 266 w/96mb
Whilst ADT works with the standard myth2 memory allocation, it would prefer
to be allocated at least 70mb of ram for best performance.
