Cold Year

[Doublepulse]

This is a "detective" storyline with some similarities to LA Noire; Hardboiled (By Jackal1337) ; but with added features to really take advantage of objects and thinking. Two Detectives...Two Stories..Two Cases. Both stories crossover and have the same main goal, but each detective is fighting to get the bust for himself. The player will be encouraged to use thinking and observe the objects near him as Invisible checkpoints are placed, take pictures of Clues and work together with his partners.

Take the role as "James Barretta" who starts off as a Mall Security Guard and makes himself known enough to be a detective. The cases he gets involved as a detective become more than he can handle..

Case Notes
Here are the notes saved in each case. Only view them if you completed the case as they will have spoilers.





Unlockable Pickups
Weapons are Officers 2nd best friends, and even detectives. Here is a list of all weapons you will unlock as you rank up.

Nightstick (Unlocked at Desk 1)
This is your first weapon you should consider in a Brawl. Every type of officer of the Law carries one of these things.

9mm Pistol (Unlocked at Desk 2)
This is a simple weapon, It is good if you don't intend to get into any large shootouts, but need to protect yourself.

Body Armor (Unlocked at Desk 2)
You are going to need this to definitely protect yourself from the criminals.

Desert Eagle (Unlocked at Desk 3)
A lot better than the 9mm. This weapon is a Detective's best choice for it's power and mobility.

Shotgun (Unlocked at Desk 3)
The Shotgun is used for Close enemies in short corners. This weapon is better for the bigger shootouts.

Camera (Unlocked at 50% into The Dead Movie Star case)
Your camera is very helpful as a detective. Taking pictures of the crime scene will help you remember where important clues are if you forget.

SMG (Unlocked at Desk 4)
It is not great as an assault rifle, but it is good for taking out threats from medium distance with a great fire rate.

Health Upgrade (Unlocked at Desk 4)
It is just a health upgrade to Show that the PD is proud for your hard work.

Sniper (Unlocked at Desk 5)
Why does it take so long to get this weapon!? Because it is for the most bad ass detectives and police. You may be asked to provide sniper support because you are just that bad ass.

M4 (Unlocked at Desk 5)
This weapon is good for large armies. Even though you are a detective, there will be those times where they need something heavy.




Unlockable Vehicles

LS Police Cruiser (Unlocked at Desk 2)
It is a well balanced police car that has Decent Control, Durability and speed. There is nothing special besides holding 4 people.

Detective's Buffalo (Unlocked at Desk 3)
It is a black buffalo commonly used by Low Class Detectives, but also higher ranks. It provides a good speed boost while on a chase and bullet proof tires so it cannot pop. Only Disadvantages is it is not very Durable and can only hold 2 people.

Detective's Sultan (Unlocked at Desk 4)
This is a good vehicle used by high class detectives. It has balanced speed and durability, and is even better because of it holding 4 people.

EXTRA NOTES:

This mission pack has been designed mostly on v6 and some on v7.

 

Some missions may require Passenger mod+ Driveby mod. It will be clear in the mission. The mods can be found by downloading this mission (This will no longer be required in Cold Year The Complete Edition)

You guys are beats to create things like these

[General Scrotum]

I'll try this out when I have time.

[alifjenius]

Wow, this will make my missions pack : Nothing

 

From the posts you put I'm sure that S.A. Noire is nothing. From my missions pack, I only have 2 detective missions in my pack (the 2nd detective missions have 5 part)

 

What I can say is goodluck you two...

[Doublepulse]

Even though It is more "Detective".. There are some things you might find similar with SA Noire. There will be a lot of use of objects. It is going to take some thinking.

 

 

Im not sure myself, but I think the entire story is looking at 40-70 missions. The missions will not be too long, but Each Case will have a DSL folder. I don't want to overwhelm anyone or myself yet. But thats my predictions.

 

LA Noire is similar because there are about 3-5 cases per Desk and 5 desk. Each Case takes around 30-60 mins to complete.

 

Our cases might take 30-45 mins to complete.

 

 

Thanks for the luck , we are gonna need it.

Edited September 4, 2011 by Doublepulse

[Nitesh002]

Are you going to release an intro? If not, when is the first DSL coming out?

 

I just love stories related to detective work. So, looking forward to this one too.

 

[Rytuklis]

Nice one!

Now that's a mission-Pack! O_o

From the looks of your pics and the video, (I haven't played them though), this story has no f*cking similarity with yours.

So, NO.

This story is more like relaxing, sit back and solving the damn cases, some will involve gun fights or brawls.

There's no intro, no introductions.

Real things starts after Trainings.

QUICK REMINDER - Finished, uploaded.

 

Have fun in training. ^^

[Gorgonit]

Played training mission, I will not rate it because it's only training, oh, and I recommend to put the player only 25 health, so It will be hard and make more real the game, a few bullets should kill the player, all missions were good.

 

Damn the officer that poisoned the other officer's food, damn him, damn him!

[alifjenius]

Play your intro, LCJ

 

I like the investigation training, looks like you are really serious about this storyline

 

Oh, btw, you should turn off the wanted level in shooting training. But the cops not bugging me while I'm trying to beat the mission

 

Keep it up. I'd like to wait for the next pack

[Doublepulse]

The problem with setting the hp 25 is the HP bug. We are using 6.1 to make these story lines. If he set it to 25, it will just regenerate back to 100.

 

 

I am working on my first case and will be done later tonight. It won't be too interesting because there is not much to do as a Mall security guard. Hopefully I can make it a little interesting.

 

 

Just to let you know all the good stuff starts happening in Desk 2.

L.A. Noire is one of my favourite game on Xbox, training was really cool, especially the invetigation part, looking forward for more

Darn, you're right, I forgot that thing.

The first case: Mall Defense is finished and Released.

 

Hope you enjoy. It was hard to find something interesting to do for this Rank, but Im glad I can finally start making missions for the better cases.

[Gorgonit]

The first case: Mall Defense is finished and Released.

 

Hope you enjoy. It was hard to find something interesting to do for this Rank, but Im glad I can finally start making missions for the better cases.

I couldn't complete Mall Defense because it crashes after some seconds when I need to patrol the mall.The mission was overall good, but the fences when setting up cameras that you put at the entrances looked like crap.

[Doublepulse]

Hmm, you say it crashes? Strange! Let me look. Did you retry the mission?

 

Did you play the missions after that?

 

 

I know the fences look like crap. IDK What I was trying to do there. You know how in Malls early in the morning they have the stores and building caged off sometimes? I was trying to resemble that and failed

 

 

EDIT: I would of hoped to find that crash problem sooner, but I don't see any issues on my part. Even when checking each objective. If it still occurs after then I will see. However if you know how to load missions individually from the storyline, you can play the next one.

 

Just use the option "Load Mission from DSL" and Use these file names

 

"Trashed" for mission 2

 

"Moments" for mission 3

 

 

You basically crashed at the end of the mission though: There just was text saying a owner complained about his store being messed up.

Agree with "the mall entrance". Good missions, I played all the missions, not bad for mall security rank missions

 

Nothing crash, but it in the end of the last missions, the game crashed

 

Keep it up

 

EDIT : Oh yeah, there is a bug in the last mission. When the cutscene show the Tom killed by Ricky (if I'm not wrong), the interior become invisible and the actors keep falling down (It's like a blue hell bug in gta)

Edited September 6, 2011 by alifjenius

[Doublepulse]

Did you manage to complete them all with the mission complete, then it crashed?

 

Yea IDK what causes crashes like those. Glad you liked it though. The cases get better and more interesting as the rank increases. Desk 1 and Desk 2, James does not know how to do much detective work, just based on what he sees on TV.

[alifjenius]

 

Did you manage to complete them all with the mission complete, then it crashed?

 

Yeah, all the missions are finished, then it's suddenly crash

 

I edited my last post. I report a bug from your mission

 

Good luck, Doublepulse. Keep it up

[Doublepulse]

Yea the bug is because the player is not in the interior. . I forgot to place him in the interior.

[Exekucnak]

I just finished Doublepulse's Mall Security with no problems, it must be difficult to think off some interesting missions when you play as Mall security, you did a nice job with that
