ep7 out today. will be updating as soon as poss. lol 3-5 hours to complete! GL!
-
I know what I'm doing tonight :o
-
Harvesting trees with gutty :D
-
Is it safe for me to comment in this section? I can provide walkthrough for it all to help assist players in the future reference best as I can, for I am often in Machine Attack episodes when I am done from work and errands.
-
Feel free to chuck a walk through here if you want
-
Hi einsen. Thanks. We would love a good walk through. Once done il update the main post.
If you would also like to make any other suggestions please do.
-
Much appreciated! Right now I'm collecting credits information so I can get that starters for those who are reading. Otherwise, the walkthrough is being made as we speak.
And yes! Suggestions are on the way too, especially for Machine Attacks. Machine Attack is such an outstanding thing to play to pass time, however glitches and bugs occurs regularly because of the timing. Out of topic, but I post that in the suggestion forum right? Don't want to be warned. xD
-
you are doing what you can to help out man so any bugs or problems, send to me in a private message.
if its a map issue, in most cases we cannot do anything but let the map maker know so they can work on it.
as for the walk through, make a new thread for it and you can update the first post when you want to update it
-
Hey Gutty,
I'm still working on the walkthrough with tips and hints included.
However, it is coming to my attention to post here it's best to suggest the voting menu to restart the map over, especially in ep7. It is a minor bug/glitch the creators of the Machine Attack has left and cannot fix. I wouldn't want to post this abruptly, but what happened the command !calladmin players can use to contact admins?
I may not known what is the reason voting is disabled, RTV is only allowing to have the current map to return to Machine Attack Ep1 and most people likes to finish what they started off at.
-
Ok I could look at adding voting back in for machine attacks. The trouble with voting is that people come on and call a vote. This anoys everyone else or most who may be happy with whats running.
Yea there are bugs in the maps. If you could tell me them it could be fixable. How well do you know how waves are setup?
As for the calladmin command we haven't had it. It was !call but it if you read the latest newsletter it's now /report but the system is still yet to be finished.
Thanks for your feedback. Add me on steam
-
Good Evening Gutty,
Thanks for the response. I'm not close finishing what I needed for the guide, and it would take me more time finishing what I wanted to add. Probably next week I'll have the walkthrough up.
I know how that feels. In another server voting option was left primary for others to use those whom are bored of Machine Attack, or to get back into Machine Attack series. I wouldn't reckoned adding vote which Machine Attack to go to, however, I know Episode 4, 6 and 7 are commonly have scripture timing wrong which is understandable players can vote to the next episode.
I'm a bit confused when you mentioned "how the waves are setup". I know Machine Attack back of my head like that, and how it is dealt. If it's scripture you ask, it's pretty much just the timing and I've contacted the redclan of these three episodes players are huge fond of playing into only the creators can deal with. Otherwise, it's the creator's problem and must be addressed.
However, voting menu would be a good start!
And I'm sorry I didn't get to see the news about the command. I'll keep it on the lookout now. So, whenever I do /report just go to other, right? Don't want to make it feel like unnecessary.

I found out the problems why is it Ep7 consecutively not allowing us to go fight the sniper. The assistant !kcuS uoY visit and told me in the chatbox saying we need to download the updated one in Gamebanana and should be named as mvm_machine_attack_ep7-3.bsp.
Proof of me speaking with the assistant (I honestly don't want to get BS'ed saying I lied):
http://i57.tinypic.com/2pyqljl.jpg (http://i57.tinypic.com/2pyqljl.jpg)
-
yeah ok will get that latest version of ep7.
Don't rush the walk through, so that you know its properly done. Don't feel rushed.
when I mentioned about 'waves setup' I mean have you seen how population files are setup?
if there is an issue within the map that's not fixable unless red can do it. however the bots and money can be controlled, not that I want to mess around with it, was just saying.
do you chat with red and kcus often?
-
Alright. I think you heard a lot of complaint from me how BS the batteries are now. Only a Demo can shoot it afar, no longer Engineer, Soldier etc who uses shotgun to guide it further up top.
It's alright. I might add more into it if I remember any. The walkthrough is just simple, Hint and Tips are useful and I don't want to overload it some with people, for we all have a class we want to play. XD
I've been looking into .pop files how it has been going on and boy, the Sniper is totally OP range. I'm not a big expert on it, so my questions still goes into the creators and the assistant.
I mean, this!? REALLY? MaxVisionRange 99999999 is scripted! BWHAHAHA.
*Ahem* But uh, no I don't talk to them daily, for our time differences is hard to communicate. I see only !kcuS ouY at nightime, and able to speak Redclan (whenever they can understand my message) biweekly.

EP8 added
Other Ep's have been updated, info to come.
because some maps have been updated, they havent made the a different map name, so you will find you get the "missing map" error.
to solve this, delete the machine attacks maps from either or both of the following:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\download\maps
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\maps
This will allow the updated map to download.
-
*Spoilers for Episode 8 for situations*
Episode 8 is a regular 10-waves enormous gigantic MVM map with tanks, OP snipers and wide-spread of robots.
That's beside the point! To my personal reference based on playing this...
For those who had yet to played Episode 8 and is reading this spoiler, be prepared for a crash. You will be fighting the Heavy bot who has 4-5 forms before beating the episode. Just like Jakete, he has crits and whenever he shoots, he shoots triple fast and kill you. However, if you don't have a strong PC/Laptop to handle the massive lag at his before and last form boss fight, you will crash or be timed-out. I don't know will it be any problems with high-powered PC/laptops or any other players, I've experienced this with friends and other players numerous of times and crashed out of the game a lot. I've manage to come back only after the battle of the Heavy. With that said, keep this in mind. It has been reported to redclan about it.
Just wanting the people to know.
-
Oh really. Crashes in a map is not good
-
Yeah it's not good.
Episode 8 just came out yesterday I wasn't able to finish. This morning I managed to play it and all my friends crashed fighting the Heavy. I'll swing by the episode tomorrow again and see if its okay.
-
Again I have updated maps to fix errors from the creators, and yes, it is another hassle to delete your maps from the maps dir.
do the following to fix this..
to solve this, delete the machine attacks maps from either or both of the following:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\download\maps

EP9 added
-
Updated ep8 and ep9 popfile.
-
Episode 10 is nearly done and will be released soon.
http://tf2.gamebanana.com/maps/183363 (http://tf2.gamebanana.com/maps/183363)
I am not going to put the demo version up.
-
Happy Halloween!
I've been away and was side-tracked. Episode 10 is out as DEMO, as in incomplete and is currently in progress making. However, if anyone has yet to experience the gameplay because a sever hosts for a small peak, but cannot beat it, here are some walk-through of my own.
MACHINE ATTACK EPISODE 10 DEMO [May re-edit post to remove spoilers for things will change.]
You will start off the last part Episode 9 has ended. Dialogue will show explaining go into the vent. Destroy the vent and the fan before you enter, or else you will die and return back to spawn. Destroying the fan, enter the vent, you will arrive with two doorways blocked and a left side gate locked. At the white-fenced look doorway your very right, use anyone (preferable Soldier) who can splash attack destroying all the boxes and have an Engineer place his exit inside the doorway that shows a broken small hole fittable to put his teleporter in besides the brown gas barrels way. With entrance should be made, have a teammate go in and activate the controller. Help the trapped unit out by taking the exit and replace with the entrance for them to return out. If you look up, three vents is opened but go to the one between the green and white doors. Try your best try entering in, cause I can't seem to go pass it.
I am still encountering situations how to get into vents due to the collision 'blocking'. If anyone knows how to by-pass this, please do post. No magics are introduce in this episode. Otherwise, the middle vent will take you into the white-tealed building warehouse and destroy the button to open gates. Entering the gates closed gates, you are unable to return. You can upgrade whilst dialogue continues. You will deal with the bosses and a small-bit story before map ends.
It's for those who can host a server or servers host for sneak preview (which I doubt) to give a try.
It's a very interesting episode. Cannot wait for the full episode to come out.
Hope you all have a great time and be careful your way out there chaperoning children!
--
By any chance has anyone reported to you that Episode 8 still crashing players when fighting Spencer, Gutty? Cause with the update, I crashed horrendously regardless which server I am at. I know few friends also crash too whenever fighting the fourth version Spencer.
-
No I haven't had any reported problems.
the only big one is the elevator going down with 10 players lol
-
These servers are insanely good fun.
-
Machine Attack ep10 is now out as full.
Next one probably be in March or April.
--
It comes in two parts, the demo that will eventually goes to the second part of its full release.
A lot of test and challenge.
So far, I like it.
-
roger, will put this on very shortly
-
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINT... Or Spoilers!?
In Episode 10b you'll be fighting JUST melee weapons. And is it eternal Halloween!? Or is it Hell? OH SHET! Monoculus and Headless Horsemann is there too!?
I'm trying to find the bugs so I can post them here so players who accurately are waiting for the walkthrough (Which I've been massively busy with work, school and stuff, and in-game project with animation, models and maps) or viewing this post can be aware of. I'm letting the map creators know too.
Otherwise, when I have time to join in Episode 10b I can help guide others. I just beaten it twice for bug errors. I found few, but not sure is it meant to be that way.
---
Little Reminder in Episode 10b
Sniper can use bow. I don't think it's a big deal anyways.
Players can use no-gun secondary weapons like sandwich, buff banner, milk, etc. No usable gun related allowed in Episode 10b.
Bumper cars is playable. Just for the fun of it? I don't know the purpose of it. It's beside the upgrade station.
You will start out no cash. You'll have to farm, like literally 5 minutes or something.
Walkthrough will be up soon. I promise. Just... a little more away from stuff. XD
-
Uploaded ep10
Updated ep8
Updated ep7
-
Updated Episode 8 is experiencing glitch to continue onward episode 9. I just tried it on my server and will not trigger any event to advance next map.
Unless someone reports map is currently advancing to episode 9, assistant !KcuS uoY has reported the bug. Not sure how long until next update response. Will keep in post.
-
thanks, message me on steam when you know anything.
-
reverted ep8 back to its previous version
-
Ep8 has been updated:
21 Nov 2014 - Fixed Ep8 Updated v3
- Fixed player can't trigger to finish ep8 and continue to ep9
-
Thanks
-
Episode 8 and 10 have been updated. Slightly behind but I did this in case there was another bug.
Have also sent a message to the creator to try and fix the issue with elevator on ep5.
-
I don't know was it you posted in Ep11 about the pro-upgrades... you need to put the mvm_upgrades_lv1, 2 and 3 into the download list. Ironic thing is though, is that this is suppose to be in the script.
I don't know if the newer version mvm_ep11_2 does any differences but that's the only reason what the reason why players can't go upgrade.
-
everything was in fastdl, and where it should of been.
I posted because it had to be done. There should really be no messing with the upgrade boxes.
oh and i discussed this issue with kcus
-
That's fine, whatever is adjusted to your taste is understandable.
The leveling upgrades are far too impossible to collect credits. They are 15k credit each or more so I'm sure it's impossible to achieve.
-
I love this series, I live this series! Kudos to the creative author who has given time to breath life into this story. Although there is some mistakes here and there, it's completely understandable knowing that the author is not well-rounded with English, his or her effort to make this an interact able masterpiece to be played with others has undoubtedly hooked me to stay and play and meet new people every time!

Yea there is, when you type rtv in chatbox it has 2 options - Change to Ep 1 or don't change
But change to ep 1 changes you to ep 10 >.<
-
Thanks, I will look into it. but there should be no rtv at all.
-
I think I'll give this a try tonight! ANYONE else up for it? 8)
-
I think we might update ep11 - ep16 now.
And also ep9 need to be updated, because it's broken and the creator already has fixed it.
-
Machine attacks servers keep crashing at the end of episode 9, pls fix :3
-
ep9 replaced with fixed version.
ep 10-16 all on remastered edition.
-
Is there a date with regards to when machine attacks is going to fully updated with the new hud after jungle inferno update?
Also I think ep 11 was downgraded to before the remastered edition, I can't say about the episodes beyond then though.
-
Can someone tell me why, when I play machine attacks in GetSome. The server changes into normal MvM maps such as Coaltown, Decoy, and etc. Not like before where when you accomplished an episode it moves to the next episode. Right now, whenever we complete episode 4 or 5, the map changes into a normal map. If you complete Coaltown, Decoy and etc. The map switches into outdated machine attacks 11 map. Why is it like this? Sorry for my bad grammar.
-
All maps should now be updated.
