Map, Zombie Skins, Custom sounds and textures here (FULL Download): http://www.team-resurrection.net/files/ET_Resurrection.zip

Axis zombie Skins only if server doesn’t download them:
http://www.team-resurrection.net/files/z_resurrectionskins.zip

If you download from the server the skins probably won’t download. Can get the z_resurrectionskins.zip skins only at above link also …or the ET_resurrection.zip includes mapp and skins.

Remember the skins will show on all maps …thats an ET thing so if you don’t want the to show up remove or move them somewhere else. If a server doesn’t have the skins on it…it won;t matter and you’ll only see the default skins

*Secondary Objectives - 1. Capture flag in mansion room to advance.
2. Destroy secondary door for access into lower mansion. “This is a secondary entrance but cannot use to exit.”

Thx to Detpak for the some of the cool sounds in resurrection. http://detpak.tripod.com

BACKGROUND:
The Nazi’s as we have heard are doing human experiments to create super soldiers. Recently however, its been discovered the Nazi’s are using the occult to further their mission for world dominance by performing passages from the book of the resurrection. …Rituals if you will.
A small allied force lead by LT. Joe Johnson was sent to gather more information on one, Alfred Kreiger, who is a Nazi Sympathizer and linked to practices in the occult. Information we received from Johnson has confirmed our suspicions. Kreiger has performed satanic rituals and has succeeded in resurrecting dead Nazi soldiers that feel no pain, no emotion, and have no mercy. They are the perfect killing machines. Kreiger has recently crossed over to the other side, suicide by his own creations. According to the book, Kreiger’s death will allow him to move between realms and help make the transformation of the soldiers complete. They can be destroyed at this time, but one passage from the book is left that will make them invincible and must be done when certain circumstances are present. Unfortunately we don’t know this information as we’ve lost contact with Johnson and his men.
This was Johnson’s last transmission:
<Begin Transmission> “…We have entered the belly of the beast where life and death are one… The book holds the power … The last passage needs to be performed for the gates of hell to be opened permanently… God help us… It must be performed when…” <End transmission>
No one from the group has been heard from since, but we do know from Johnson’s last message that the book is the key. Time is of the essence and you will be deployed immediately.
–I know your thinking this can’t be real. It seems unbelievable but in Johnson’s words…. “God help us” … if it’s true. –

MISSION:
To infiltrate Kreiger mansion by boat and make way through front gate or other means available before the axis zombie soldiers become invincible. Extract “The Book of the Resurrection” that’s located in the mausoleum on the mansion grounds. Exit through the main house back to front gate or use the Catacombs to basement and use Raft to escape to caves with the book.

:eek3: Wow. Sounds pretty cool. I’m off to check it out…


(Dingo19) #3

Resurrection was the best custom map for RtCW, and having just played the ET version, it will be known as one of the best for ET.


(decoy) #4

Maybe… but a 20 MB download will piss some users off… I wish a official map-pack could be distributed…


(Sick Boy) #5

Resurrection was maybe the best of the ‘large customs’ (marketgarden, schwalbe, brunwald castle…). And it was played by a special kind of RTCW player imo, the ones that didn’t really care for objectives but just wanted to run around in endless maps and frag other people they came across. Cause if you play these maps to win, no way the attacking team can beat the objective camp, and even if they did, they still needed a full minute to get back with the objective so they had to pass axis once or twice again…

And you had to play these maps at least 10vs10 or you could run around for ages without finding an opponent :slight_smile:

But what I and most people will remember resurrection for was for all the problems the z_resurrectionskins.pk3 caused :angry:
I hope that is solved now, otherwise you need to delete that file.

OK enough of my bitching this map deserves a 10/10 for atmosphere and graphics! Nice work again :slight_smile:


(Sauron|EFG) #6

Great work with the sounds and graphical details!

I agree with Sick Boy though. These big maps feels empty with too few players, but are next to impossible to win for the attacking team on big servers.
I’ll try it out when I find it on a European server… :drink:


(SmokeyTarget) #7

A European server, English to be precise 80.253.114.253:27960, although please ensure that you have the resurrection.pk3 prior to connecting as at 20MB it’s a bit of a bandwidth hog for my poor webserver, so not up there yet.

Smokey.

A+++ Speedy Shipping - Great Product - Great Customer A+++

ok ok eBay has got me

Awesome map.

The maps not all that big, It just seems that way. having played res. for rtcw many times, I know it is a well designed map that you can get from one side to another in about 20 seconds, no longer than most other maps. But if ya dont know where ya going…

I look forward to the next 2 in this series. ( and Fngrz’Xed that DenOfLions will go ET.)
(edit: DenOfLions made by RivrStyx , not some lazy, cheap, ignorant, SOB who has/had? decided to Steal someone elses hard work and redo his map.)

:beer: Great Map!!!

We used the map for an tourney and the allies did just fine. I am sorry its not beach Sickboy but once you know your way around its not that big. Great details and jumping in the pit of hell does more than Kill you it tranfers the docs for the allies to escape even easier.

The unique thing about his maps are different levels are used much more than most mappers, you need to look up because everyone of the those areas can be reached. He needs a 3d command map beacuse the flat one will just not give enough info, lol get on that SD.

Check it out, its well worth just seeing the details and sounds. :clap:

Yes ET Denoflions loaded with 60 people on HP and some moving tanks, can’t wait!!!

(Sick Boy) #10

Yeah passing the objectives through the pit is a pretty good tactic, I like that :slight_smile:

Still, 20 seconds seems a bit on the fast side :wink:

A 3D command-map, I can’t see that happening, but maybe trancelucent player symbols on the map could show how high people are (I don’t mean stoned :bump: )


(Wraith2k3) #11

Apparently it’s possible to have multi-layered command maps for for different hights, but I havent seen it implemented yet. I read about it in a thread in the editing forum.

(w00t 200th post :banana: )

:clap:


(Sick Boy) #12

I’m having a rtcw déjà -vu here…

When playing any demo or hosting a game the axis have the resurrection skins, I have deleted the skin file now before my ET starts crashing on it…


(RivrStyx) #13

Well thats correct…the skins will show up on every map on a server that has the skins installed …if you also have them installed (servers without the skins installed and if a pure server you’ll see the default skins even if you have the on your machine…if server is unpure clients can use or see what they want but not secure). So if you host a lan server and make it unpure without the skins installed on your PC you won’t see them but those connecting to you can if they want since its unpure. Anything you do locally if the skins are installed on your PC …you’ll see them. Its all mentioned in the readme.
Thats the way ET and RTCW is … can’t make the skins map only. The skins are there to add to the map and for a change of pace thats why they’re a seperate pk3 from the map itself.
Some players just leave them on for something new or playing the campaign as if they are fighting axis zombies with resurrection being the final conflict to stop them from becoming invincible…others remove the skins…thats up to you.
All skins act the same way in RTCW or ET or even Q3 for that matter… just depends on what you feel like. The skins won’t crash you…I did them differently in ET and haven’t caused any problems on the servers using them. I didn’t do the RTCW ones.


(LKS_FreeMan) #14

Sounds and looks great, I will give it a shot when I get home tonight from work.


(shimrod) #15

Nice map!! My problem is the skins .pk3 file makes my game crash when hosting this problem occurs with some other custom maps as well.
Any ideas anyone?


(RivrStyx) #16

The servers i know running it alone or with other maps and have the skins on thier server haven’t had a problem. You’ve pin pointed it to the skins? Could be another map with a screwed up script or a map that replaces original SD stuff with their own stuff and conflicting with other maps done correctly causing problems. Do you have alot of custom maps running?
I know rtcw had a problem if alot of customs maps were on a servers …even if not in rotation but the PK3 was read… and if alot of them had custom textures it sometimes was to much on the server and customs not used needed to be moved.
I haven’t heard the skins causing problems… but if you pin pointed it to them, you may need to remove the z_resurrectionskins.pk3.


(shimrod) #17

Sorry for not being entirely clear. I meant when hosting a local game in my ingame menu, not a deddicated server. I live in a flat me and some other flatowners in my building have a lan setup true the powernet. I cant host a local game when ur skin file is in my etmain. same with one off two tmple versions i have. It makes my game crash to desktop. I have pinpointed it true trial and error to ur skinfile though it will probably be a problem somewhere in my system and not ur file. Others seem to run it just fine^^ :drink:


(RivrStyx) #18

Is this Desert Temple? Try moving all versions of that completely ( also train yard, or canage canyon) out of the etmain… thats probably the problem…lol. I few guys i know couldn’t host locally all of a sudden. It turned out after removing trainyard all was fine. Could have been just a coincidence…but try that
