Prerelease Demo Hunt
« on: January 08, 2006, 07:58:45 PM »
A couple of us were talking about the various OP2 demoes, and we seem to think there are 3.

OP2 Pre-Release Demo #1: The Alpha Demo
OP2 Pre-Release Demo #2: The Beta Demo.
OP2 Post-Release Demo: Final version in demo form.

This quote shows the distress this demo-hunt has caused:

Can't you feel his pain?
So, we need that legendary Alpha Demo! Who has it?

I've got both the "#2 demo" and the Post release demo.

The Alpha demo, I don't know if it really exists, but Arklon tells me he used to have it.

It has odd looking GP's and odd looking tubes (which can be seen in this image.).

I have a cd with a demo lying around somewhere.

It contains 2 missions:

1st is with Eden where you have to evacuate your colony from lava I believe.
2nd is with plymouth where you have up to mark 250 to build whatever. (I really wish someone could remove the time limit on that one!!!)

There was a version some beta testers had.

There are two official demos. A single player one and a one which contained 4 player multiplayer. I have these but not the alpha versions we all wanna take a look at :)

Ive talked to someone on irc before who was a beta tester and thinks they may have the version still but there not a regular so they aint been seen in ages so not much help.

I think I have the demo #1 some where, it was on Siera's website a very long time ago before the game was released. you were abble to download sounds and pictures too...
I think it was on the origial release cd of Swat.

If i remember correct then there was a vertion that had no muilti player you could eather be plymoth or eden.

A little off topic, but if the level is ended with a simple victory/failure trigger, it shouldn't be too hard to edit it out. Just need to check for references to either CreateTimeTrigger, or CreateVictory/FailureCondition, and then NOP the instructions.

I had emp's on that mission too, and I'm sure there are more techs aswell.

Just look at all those old pictures of weird looking weapons, maybe they are hidden in that demo.. ?

it was on the website in the late 1996 time, I remember it was hidden very well.
I remeber it well as there was no disaters that were shown only a timer you had to beat.

but it was a very simple map like the first eden mission evacuate your units but the sun moveing was not present if i remmeber correctly.

One thing I did notice is that the images for the light tower for eden was not finished compleately. if the tower was dammaged 2 times the tower compleately disapeared except for the blue active light thingy.

Im lookig for all my relly old burned cd-r's, I had one of the first cd burners ^_^ 1 x.

I think i might have backed it up onto a cd as it took forever to download with my 36.6 k modem

So far everyone has the same versions, so don't worry about the dates and versions.

OK from what I have found out the Alpha was never released at all just some pictures.  So I highly doubt any one has it.  Any one that says they do is most likely lieing :P unless they put up the proof they do.

Well read up. We don't have all of them.

One of us could put up the demos that we DO have though... I have the full prerelease and the post release.
