[MP1] The Real World - Matrix Total Conversion

[Maddieman]

Hi, those of you that remember this mod for Max Payne 1 will be pleased to know that we've just released the playable demo of the TRW Kung Fu.

You can download it here:

(website admins, please contact me before posting news/mirrors - thanks)

This has been an ongoing project since 2003, put together by Froz, Ken_Y, Steve_R, Suprakarma, Endo, myself, and several others from the community.

It's not finished, but Ken and I are extremely happy with how the kung fu engine has turned out so far, and we'd like to share it with you.

This version includes:

Advanced Kung fu system by Kung Fu and Katana creators Ken_Y and Maddieman:


Mix and match some 20-30 individual moves, including punch strings, quick and jump kicks, combo enders, and signature moves like the lobby kick.


Dance around enemies with sidesteps, dodges, blocks, and parries. Dodge bullets with trickster mode.


Taunt the bad guys with Kung Fu stances, and martial arts style switching & branching combos.


Advanced kung fu enemies that can switch between weapons and kung fu; block your moves; and use their own variety of offence and defence moves to destroy you.


'True' Wall-running -- run indefinitely along walls, while being able to aim and shoot.


Special dojo training level, with increasingly difficult combat challenges; Kung fu instructor; and combo counters.


Compatible with the regular Max Payne levels.

...and it's also a m*trix mod.

The levels are coming shortly; thanks to everyone who waited so patiently.

[Ken_Y]

ya... but does it have SPACE STATIONS??

[Sayantan]

OMFG ......... Maddie has gone mad.

Can't wait to play it. After I'm back from an important work.

BTW, hey Kenneth spoiled my "Woot, First post!" comment.

[Mister_Anderson]

Fant-abulous! Can't wait to give it a burl.

[Samji]

Cool, Maddie.

I made another short link too, in case people forget the number:

http://urlcut.com/TRW

I thought TRW would be easier to remember.

[ADM]

Cool congrats guys! I'll see what I can do about uploading it to the Deep Six Fileplanet FTP.. I'm pretty sure I've still got access there

I'll post up the url when it's done.

Can someone tell me what exactly this is so I know if it's worth installing mp for.

[ADM]

Read the first post, it explains it all.

[GlorFinderIV]

Maddieman..... I wont say nothing of TRW, my words cant explain the experience that i have lived with the beta... so imagine the full mod....


A W E S O M E......

[kylemf88]

Yeah I already read the post but I want to know more about the setting of the mod. Like what is it about exactly? But w/e I'll just install mp and see for myself.

[Samji]

FFS, its a preview of the kung fu system that will feature in the later released The Real World (Matrix story based) TC for Max Payne. How much more info do you need?

[kylemf88]

lol Holly shit I didn't know what trw stood for... I'm been waiting for this mod for what feels like forever. This demo is just awesome guys... It's everything I could have hoped for. Great work and I can't wait for the finished version. (I hope it will come out soon )

[Samji]

*lol*

[cassa]

Now this is what I've been waiting 2 years to hear. To think I'd almost given up.

Edit: Anyone else getting the problem where the game'll crash if you do the kung fu training as the one if you've already played a game? I'll patch it and see if that fixes it.

[Mister_Anderson]

Well I've just played it & it is just the best fun!

The new Kung Fu system is really great & the little matrix particle effects (and the sound effects for that matter) really go a long way towards the experience.

Kung Fu just got taken to the next level & beyond. Great stuff guys, that alone is something to be extremly proud of.

Can't wait to see how you guys have handled the Matrix inspired levels now!

It worked fine for me.

I'll definitely be giving this a shot when I get Max Payne 1 installed on my PC again.

Same...problem is, I can't find the disc. Luckily, it's only $3 or $4 these days.

[kylemf88]

Same thing happend to me when kantana came out. I went out and got a new copy for $10.

[Lunar Blue]

Man you guys are such pigs. My MP1 is in a titanium vault protected by a dozen drag0n m4st4hs. DL'ing the mod now.

[Uisor]

Last time I played MP was when Katana was released, but it's been on my hdd since the day it was released (exluded the few times I've formatted my comp and installed it back)

[kylemf88]

I'm a clean freak with my pc. If I know I wont play something often its off my pc. Like I already took mp off and now i'm waiting for the full version on trw. It's not even a space issue I just i'm simply a nut about this stuff.

Haha, sounds like me.

Awesome mod guys! Certainly made me reinstall MP1!

[Sayantan]

I'm currently downloading it.

[Sayantan]

I just played it and it's MuthaFukka stuff.

Also this is the first time I see a very stable and proper "text" modification. Very good job on that.

I thought of commenting about the characters a bit but well ...... I thought it's MP1 and I better not do it.

Anyways, I'll sum it up by saying ....... very nice release. MP1 still rocks the hell out of anything and everything.

[Co&Co]

How about some cool screenies, or maybe even a video?

Nice to see TRW is still under development, good job!

[Ghost]

It's only 30 MB, download it so you won't need any screens.

[MrUniq]

Its very fun and it is definitely an improvement over Kung Fu 3. Super impressive animations. The only thing is that either I'm not used to playing it or some of the moves seem very random..i can't reproduce some of the same moves with certain movements. Like he did this awsome flip once...and that roundhouse from revolutions..and that horizontal ground kick...can't do them at will. I also had to get adjusted to evading since the BT buttons are used for attacks now.

[maximan]

I'm sure it's awesome - but Max Payne doesn't work, and I have no idea why

[mad-maximus]

you have 1.05 patch?

oh my god. this soooooo cool.

anyway has anyone tried reloading the sawed-off shotgun it looks really funny .

[Sayantan]

I can't wall run and shoot. HELP!

[GlorFinderIV]

And also reloading pumpshotgun and colt commando

[mad-maximus]

well, actually it isn't funny, but hell yeah its very friggin' cool. too bad you cannot do it forever ( like holding reload button down and continue doing that trick ).

molotov coctails are cool too.

hey seriously, all these years that I have spectated these forums I guess this is just one of these GREAT DAYS ( just like back in really old times when UXRAF released their mod whics contained new weapons etc and kf mod 2 & 3 and katana and maybe soon TRW ). mmm yes

[maximan]

mad-maximus said:

Yes. I posted my problem in the technical issues forum here, but haven't gotten any responses.

Did you notice your "weapon" gets changed into a special move once in a while? Dunno how you get em tho'.

[Maddieman]

Included in the package should be a word file called TRW Manual, that covers the Kung Fu system. Also, talking (use) to the guy standing around in the dojo will provide in-game hints for the system.

Briefly:

1. Make sure Automatic Weapon switching is *enabled* from the game menu. I also recommend disabling bullet-time aid, as it locks out bullettime during wallrunning, etc. Lastly, I would recommend setting up keys for 'Best Weapon' (e.g. G), and 'Bullet-Time Only' (e.g. F), so you can easily activate them during combat.

2. Quick Kicks -- work just like in KF3, *except* that each button alternates between 2 different kicks. Each kick is designed to kick in the direction you press (forward, fwd-left, fwd-right), so no-matter which kick actually comes out, it should hit your target. With a bit of practise, it's quite easy to set-up and kick people with specific moves, as there are only 6 quick kicks to remember. (2 for each direction)

3. Punch combo strings -- easy, just press/hold the shoot button. Punches get more agressive as the string progresses.

4. Special moves -- Special moves are enabled by performing a punch combo, followed by a quick kick. Your weapon icon will then change to <font color="red"> 'finisher' </font> and pressing Shoot/punch, will activate it. There are only 3 main specials, so again with some practise it's quite easy to prepare moves in advance, without too much forethought.

5. Foot-sweep -- works like the specials, except that you press CROUCH during a punch combo, not kick to set it up. Make sure you change your crouch button if you're using developerkeys (otherwise you'll activate the camera).

6. Reloaded kick -- Perform a back-kick (dodgebackwards while standing) -- either against a wall, or an enemy (has to be quite close), and Neo will automatically rebound off them. The collision detection on this kick is being re-worked, btw.

The rest of the moves are covered in the playing manual and in the Dojo. I would strongly recommend that you practise against the Dojo Dummy guy until you can perform most of the moves effortlessly.

[Sayantan]

I just replayed it and man o' man. I have to say the team did a very polished job. The things I liked are death anims, death cams, amount of control while doing the Kungfu, random moves which doesn't bore you at all. Top-of-the line job. The whole experience would be awesome after we get the full mod.

So yeah, I'm looking forward to the full release.

[MrUniq]

Path of Neo: max payne style :P....even though u guys started first.

[RoveR]

hey guys--i'm a n00b


no, really, this is a freakin' cool martial arts system!

i've been awaiting this mod since it was announced...

downloaded the "demo" ...

awesome!

but, if i can tell you maddie, only one aspect of this mod is somewhat lacking of the refinisment of the rest.. the wallrun.

i will explain myself better: sometimes, the animation chains and all goes ok (with the final wallflip)..
but it happens that neo just starts the wallrun (in mid air, he stops animating and he falls to the ground like a mashed potato )

maybe i am just being too picky, but i know that we can expect really BIG things from you people... (i know kung fu is just plain hot)


hope this little post can help,

Marco
