Syphon Filter 3 - Chemical MOD Redux
4A dream become true. The "Chemical MOD" was a Syphon Filter 3 modification made by MaxiFX 12 years ago. The problem was just one in the last years: a 32bit Windows was mandatory for the last step of the mod's installation, since it needed a 16bit program called "BuildCD". All my attempts to ask people if they had a 32bit machine were failed, nor I'm able to set up a Virtual Machine. Fortunately, my close friend FoxHand, an another Syphon Filter modding pillar man, helped me with this one, making this a reality again! However, this isn't a 1:1 recreation of it, since the original MaxiFX's one replaced also Mini Game characters with Multiplayer ones. Mine instead just put the exclusive MG characters into MP (however the thing to put Multiplayer characters into Mini Game was already made by me long ago too). Here a list of what was changed in the original version:
- Senate Gabe, Kabul/Australia Lian, Desert Gabe, London Gabe, Teresa ATF and Formal Lian, Mini Game exclusive characters, replace Multiplayer characters, plus "restore" (actually an another replacement) the unused "Afghan Rebel" character
- Afghan Rebel, Jorge Marcos, Agency Operative, Russian Bodyguard, Uri Gregorov, Viral Test Subject, Terrorist, Jungle/Aztec Lian, Military Police, Corpse, Monk, CBDC Agent, Mara Aramov, SWAT Agent, Evil Scientist, Johnathan Phagan, John Ramirez, Spook, Vladmir Gabrek, Erich Rhoemer and Formal Teresa replace Mini Game characters. More likely two disc were used unless he knew how to bypass the 12 slot limit
Then, here what my version does. Since that after 12 yers we have learnt lots of things, was possible to do some extra cool things:
- First point of MaxiFX's version (exlusive MG characters into Multiplayer)
- Character models "doesn't deteriorate" from a distance, commonly called Level Of Detail (or simply "LOD"). Always full detail at any distance! (Only new characters)
- Edited text for reflect changes (probably this one also in the original version)
- Afghan Rebel have also an unused portait for MP, that was used here (also that could be in the original). Afghan Rebel is included in MG too for its unique characteristic to be unused
- Ripped Hotel Fukushima Gabe model, the one with the white tuxedo jacket, and playable in both Multiplayer and Mini Game modes
