Rumble in the Jungle

[Red Spot]

Afaik, Rumble can tell you to pick up Shab very soon after start, but it doesnt fail if you dont get to her asap.

[Red Devil]

i just tried it and she wasn't there when i showed up. probably went shopping.

[Red Devil]

yes, Shabby's VO plays soon after the beginning. might move that to after Scion base is destroyed and before objective to find her is displayed.

Shabayev pilot is removed right when you get there. i'll add a delay to have her hang around a bit before she (supposedly) hops in your ship. Also replaced pilot model with actual model of Shabayev.

other than that, mission plays okay.

edit: maybe not. there's some code to kill her if i don't make it there in time. also, looks like a cineractive was going to be added at that spot before Acti pulled the plug.

I believe the mission is supposed to kill her if you don't get there in time, but it is a long period of time. The problem with that mission, for me, was that sometimes you show up (whether it be early, midlle or late) and it says she got killed ("They're all over me") even when you cleared all the enemy ships.

[Red Devil]

yup, just took my time and when i left my ship and showed up on foot to test the code and got within 200 meters, the sentries spawn and attack her. have to be in a ship to rescue her.

i'll try to add the missing cineractives and adjust the timing a bit.

Shabayev was intended use her own model and the talkloop animation in the intro to the mission after; she does neither.

[MrTwosheds]

Shaby has her own model?
One of the many things I never got round to finishing was a female pilot!

[Red Devil]

yes, she's weird, though, with her head in her crotch. must be due to that Scionizing™ Process she went through.

even weirder, i can't delete those two isdf pilots on team 15 bumping into one another in the isdf base. if i try to move them, they show up on Shabby's spawn with another one.

[Red Devil]

grrrrr, forgot about *editor.dll...

works fine

Be sure to also change the timings to reference seconds based on gametps instead of just assuming. Unless stock missions always run at 10 TPS.

[Red Spot]

That you have to arrive in a ship .. I like

One thing that always sort of bugged me about this mission though, is that you can pick up Shab, then get killed and still continue as if you saved here.
It would be better, imo, to make it so you have to return to your recy before you are again free to get blown up.

odf name? model name? where is it hidden? never found this myself.

[Red Devil]

model is shabayev_idle*.xsi. have to make your own odf.

[Feared_1]

shabayev_idle1.xsi
shabayev_idle2.xsi
shabayev_idle3.xsi

You might need to work on her proportions; for example, her size 16 foot and size 12 foot.

[Red Devil]

that is due to her transformation to a Scion, which the Scions secretly initiated earlier by slipping some Scion biometal into her coffee. she also broke her right foot in a previous battle, but it never healed correctly.
