New T2 FM Alterna Crystallis 2 - May 8, 2025

john9818a on 8/5/2025 at 14:41

So after working on this mission for a couple of years and being tested by some great beta testers, my latest FM is finally ready! \o/

This one takes place immediately after the previous FM Alterna Crystallis. In the previous mission, Garrett finds some crystals that Mr. Periwinkle brought back while on an expedition, but at the end Mr. Periwinkle disappeared. In this mission, Garrett is on a quest to find more crystals and bring them back home.

This FM uses NVScripts and Public scripts. There is one "boss" character that appears only on expert.

You can download this FM from (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gyFH0boQun9ATZZxv6LZ2VS9-D-u28TX/view?usp=sharing) here.

Hello, just a tip for other players who may have the same problem than me : there were a lot of missing objects when I started this mission and I had to copy the fm.cfg file from the directory of your first Alterna Crystallis mission into the directory of the new mission to make it works (I'm using new dark loader).

Thank you John for this new fm.

Ok thanks Pavis. I just re-uploaded the zip file with the fm.cfg file included. :)
