Indeed, simply load the map in the console.
Only bad thing about it you will start fresh,
so your ammo, health and suit energy count will be by default.

Well, there is the room full of weapons and health right before the teleporter so it wouldn’t make a big difference I think

It does still make a difference because you have to dump ammo into the controllers / other enemies that teleport into the teleportation chamber.

But that wouldn’t be any different from if you had played the whole game up to that point. There are enough weapons and ammo in the cache before the teleporter to fully stock a player regardless of what they have on arrival.

Yes, all the weapons you can get in the whole game are in that room except for the snarks, but you can get them in Xen.

Ye let us see that cave from another perspective.

[Scorpion42]

We could edit the xen teleport to trigger_changelevel to a custom map, which trigger_changelevel’d to bm_c4a1 (presumed name of the first Xen map). One could make a save in the waiting hub map and, by the time Xen rolled out, simply load it up and jump into the changelevel-trigger and continue the game? Eh? Eh?

That is, unless any of the updates inbetween screw up saves <.<

What part of the history of this game are you not remembering.
Practically Every Update has broken previous saves, it’s the source engine and there is not much anyone can do about. Spending time trying to fix it is not cost productive.[/size]

We did not get any media for Ramanavami, Passover, Twelth Day of Ridvan or Eid al-Adha so don’t hold you breath.

Or, you know, you could just load the first Xen map directly from console, and spawn in however many weapons you want.

Saves will definitely break. No doubt about it. The Xen update has the most code changes of any update by far (EASILY), and it’s the code changes that break saves.

We have some plans in place to help mitigate this though. We’ll talk more about these at a later date. One of which is that if you start a new game from the Xen chapter, we start the player with an appropriate amount of health and ammo. Roughly equivalent to what we think the player would have after the Lambda Core fight. So in terms of equipment, starting a new game shouldn’t be a radically different experience to playing it through.

I’m guessing that, along with it, you’ll have Xen unlocked for people who have completed Lambda Core as well, right?

Would it be possible for you to go into more detail about what to expect in terms of engine upgrades?

Which is what i was talking about.

How accurate of an assumption are we talking here? I wanna see 100 different Lambda Core fights, and then the leftover ammo counts rounded out to an average! Yeah! Math!

so is the Summer 2017 still there as a XEN release schedule? Maybe moved to September?

[Admiral_Sakai]

Every time someone asks about Xen, the developers move the release back 24 hours.

[RedEye]

Any News on Xen?

[chenmozx]

I wonder if there is a specific date for the Xen release in this summer……or, release it directly without any announcement one day, just as what the devs always did, we know that ‘‘It’s done when it is done’’.

I think it will be in Setember 20 the last day of summer XD
