Ashes Afterglow TC - closing the vault

[calx]

---

I'm on 1.00 still. Baron gave me the explosive charges but when I make it to the raider camp the spots that I assume you're supposed to set them at are already up in flames and the raiders are hostile.

[GoldenWarden]

Alright I found a bug where after clearing out the tunnels at prosperity you can endlessly get scrap from patch by saying you already cleared out the tunnels.

[Miguelvillamizar94]

I just want to report that after you met porcelain and head back to michonne all the people start shooting you, What did i wrong? i had to restart all over.

[Piner]

Help, can someone me where are 5 secrets on MAP17- Escape From Atlanta. I have 4. Cant find last one.

[WolfyBrandon]

I've been waiting over a year for this to finally release after finishing Episode 1 & DMW... and I have to say, it was worth the wait!

Night Of The Hotfix

Update for Afterglow to version 1.02. Fixes a ton of the worst issues encountered. Main one - Bike now has keyboard AND mouse controls. No need to switch options for it. Please let me know how it feels. Will be pushing the bike controls fix over to 2063 Enriched shortly. Many thanks.

Please note: Keep a backup for saves. This will most likely break them due to the amount of changes.

Unfortunately, previuos saves doesn't load at all. I guess I'll stick to 1.00 for now

Have you tried window near dumpster somwhere near the begining?

Did you by chance leave the conversation with the Baron before he actually gave you the items in question? I think I know what the issue is.

Alright I found a bug where after clearing out the tunnels at prosperity you can endlessly get scrap from patch by saying you already cleared out the tunnels.

Thanks, think we have this one figured out too.

I just want to report that after you met porcelain and head back to michonne all the people start shooting you, What did i wrong? i had to restart all over.

Did she survive? Are you sure you didn't kill or shoot at anyone in michonne by accident? When exactly did they start shooting at you?

[Captain J]

Wanted to marathon the whole TC but boy oh boy this is super lengthy and got a lot of hidden secrets to find. Weapon Upgrades are a lot detailed now and i'm really loving it! The Storyline is tighter now and it's very enjoyable.

MAP10:

- This dark place made me realize that the Fire Extinguisher's explosion is not really bright at all.


- At MAP10, i've found this unfinished-esq gap? Not really a gamebreaker though.


- Found one mild problem and one major problem in this area. The mild problem is this mismatching brick texture. And the Major one is that you actually can head into the wide place where the large explosion spawns by jumping at a precise moment. But after that, you can't trigger the explosion event to wake up from this nightmare. Unexpectedly Softlocked.


MAP11:

- l've found these paper bridges. Maybe those are skeletons of a bridge after the nuclear war.


- Seeing this misaligned submarine door texture again!

MAP14:

- You can stop the flooding of this elevator to the secret stash. Also you can enjoy the show.


- After having fun at the Laser Tag, i softlocked myself for funsies with my Tier 1 Upgraded Pump-Action Shotgun. The Bayonet charge is quite useful and pushes you further, and it made this whole softlocking easier.


- The Parking Lot section leads you to the softlocking area.

- The Demon Statue at the Museum seems destroyable although there's no death state for it. Was this intentional?

MAP15:
- The map itself gives me a few errors in the console whenever i start it, like showing "Line (numbers) has no first side.".


- You can't pickup all the goodies inside of the cage unless it's opened, but this one Light Ammo Clip can be obtained if you're close to it.


- This Bronze Gate doesn't play the sound once it's opened.


- At the Warehouse, these radgobs can get easily stuck on both ground and the air by a Mannequin.


- Okay, destroying the Vault door wasn't really a confusing task for me but it surely lacked the hint of blowing it up to open. Sure, it's a secret passage but finding an Explosive Charge is not an easiest task either.

MAP18:

- You can cheese and kill some Cannibals inside of this particular vent area.

MAP19:
- So i somehow met Larry the Ugly Butcher aand he... Actually can talk like a normal human being. Well, kinda. Sadly all the dialogues seem to lead to armed robbery and it feels like something super duper special since that switch hunt was difficult. Can you actually make a deal with Larry?


- Might need to check out the terrains because i presume this floor is made out of ceramic tiles but it plays metal footstep sound.


And this one's playing... Snow footstep sounds!


- Apparently you can pull Yoshi jump and loose the big Pitfiend.

MAP20:

- Another problem i've found out with the vehicle mechanics. If you park your ride close to the fence and then ride it again at the other side, your ride goes through the fence.


- I'm not really in a hurry, but these bunker doors frankly take a while to open, one by one, switch by switch.


- That is one HUGE coat!

MAP21:
- The Pitfiend race was really fun and exciting! Tho there were no crowds cheering and it certainly gave me no "Ready Set Go" at the beginning!


- You can't get inside of Baron's building until you get yourself a citizenship or something... Except you still can, by pressing that switch while you're outside at the building.

- So uhh about Kyle the Farmer, if you meet him for the very first time he most likely will perma close the convo and stop talking to you. And i just found out that you have to talk to him AFTER getting the spores so he can take them off your hands. But i talked to him without the Spores so... Did i softlocked myself big style?

Also about Spores, they're key items but you can spend everything to the Doc and i smell this might be the another possibility of softlocking. Or is there any way to progress the game without them?

MAP22:

- You really don't have to climb up there to reach the switch. You just can aim up to the switch, and click. Presto! The Bridge's going up.


- The Elevator close to the radiation secret area softlocks you if you just use it.

MAP23:

- This Elevator is quite fun. You either can stop it by standing near the entrance, or break the Elevator by pushing the button inside again as soon as it stops. It's about timing.


- There's a gap where you can fall off by jumping on a Propane Canister, Softlocking the game.


- You can get past this lift thingie without doing all the hard work, thanks to my gravity-defying boomstick!

MAP24:

- Well this door looks particularly brighter than others.

Misc:

- Wasteland Commando also has the weird bootknife animation.

- Alt-Fire of 9mm Autoloader with 3 Tier Upgrade cancels Solar Lantern.

- Raider Women's sprite change when they get gibbed by the Master Blaster's Fireball.

- The melee wall hit sound of Pump-Action Shotgun has short but highly pinched metal noise and my eardrums are somewhat sensitive to it. It can be nullified by Upgrading it to Tier 3(or just turning volume down), but then i have the new reload sequence playing that sound all over again. Ay yi yi

- I get that both Wasteland Commando, Motorcycle Guns and Junker Repeater uses heavier caliber but the gun smoke is way too much, blocking the screen!

- Wasteland Commando's Bootknife leaves Bulletchip Decal.

- I do like the Junker Repeater's Tier 3 Charge mode, but now it also has a bit of delay before firing so it gets slow when i have to fire it as quickly as possible.

- This TC still uses Vanilla Doom stuff like Teleport effect, Robbed Sniper guys' sounds, and the Environment explosion. Prime example of the explosion is at MAP13's Motorcycle factory section.

- So you actually can find some cash from Trash Cans? It would've been nice if the game told me at the beginning or something because backtracking, here i go!

- In INT1, Militiamen play no firing sound at all. Maybe it happens to the Terminus as well? I dunno


- Scav says "Thanks. That'".


- These chubby dudes still fire Crossbow Bolts in weird position.

- Tier 3 P.I.G is hella overpowerful and i like it! But i honestly think it really is an overkill because i can do the Alt-Fire without consuming any ammo. What kind of ammo does it use? And the quick flashing light of it really deserves some Epilepsy Warning.

- The big floating pod thingie that shoots eyeballs bleed red unlike their little siblings.

- There's one problem i'm constantly having in this TC, that is the Pipebomb Traps. They're oddly well-hidden, i can shrug that off but they do have a small feedback(emit small red dot) and a very, very tiny fraction of time before you can deactivate once you trip it.

- One Suggestion: Some Undercity sections might get a lot of benefits from the script that changes music, like Violet's Bar, Terminus Gauntlet and the Barrettown Arena. Especially Violet's bar because while she's being whimsical, this constant refugee coughing and crying baby noise are not really helping to set the mood imo. But just saying here!


- Hello there

Aaaand that's about it. I got stuck at Prosperity and i think i softlocked myself because i cleared Pipeworks, like wearing Hazmat Suit, turning on the Pumps, also cleared Botanic Dome on the way WITHOUT talking to Patch and Kyle. I couldn't even find Patch until i looked around carefully and finally he's giving me the task after i cleared up the place... Also there's a giant brick wall that blocks my path at Pipeworks that says old but is indestructible regardless. Little help?

I definitely recommend this to everyone who's interested in Post-Apocalyptic adventure, but this is sucha long ride that is totally worth it. Kudos for the awesome work, Voy and the team!

EDIT: Oh snap think i should try the new version instead. I've been playing with ver 1.00 and i hope some said problems are fixed

[Deon]

Thank you for the amazing game. I cannot call it a mod, it's a whole different game now, using our beloved engine.

Since others are helping, I decided as well.

Here in Episode 1, map 02, you can jump on top and get stuck behind these "tanks". There's no way back out.

---

Episode 1, map 04, after gas station you can find this misplaced rock edge texture in the long river:

---

In Epsiode 1, map 04, this waterfall is off color from the brown water, immediately makes it stand out

[Shadow_Wulfe]

Incredible so far.

Any tips on where the little collectibles are? I found a Hedon one and wanted to make sure I'm not missing other things before leaving the first hub.

Is the Junker Musket available in the first hub or later?

[JMP-Jack]

Amazing! One of my favorite games. Good job!

[Dynamo]

For the last issue, here's a quick edit

If I may chime in for just a moment... Recolored the wall a bit to be more fitting for the color of the sewage, and also added a bit of contrast to the liquid so it looks smoother.

[Deon]

Thank you Dynamo, I will use it in my game.

I am now curious if there are places where the blue water is needed. Then some map editing is required .

I've reloaded a save to check, and you're right. Instead of waiting with the Baron I went out to explore a little bit more, that's what messed is up.
