The story takes place after the events that occured in Operation: Eisenfaust Origins and Operation: Eisenfaust. After Schabbs' demise, it was assumed that the Eisenfaust plans had been destroyed once and for all. But a former protégé of Schabbs has taken the blueprints of the operation and is attempting to restart it. It is up to special agent B.J. Blazkowicz to stop the Nazi's from creating another mutant army. Will B.J. stop them, or is he about to find out that the operation might have progressed a lot faster than he thought, with its effects far more devastating...

Spoiler:

Please read readme before playing!

Have fun!

@Doomjedi, oh dear god I didn't do that... (config.wl6)

Okay I thought I screwed up the game by editing stuff in there, but after starting over with a clean game with no edits and getting to secret level 26, IT IS STILL BUGGED. What's weird is that Level 26 was not bugged before the fix with the mutant mechas.


I have a copy of the saved game at the very end of level 19 right at the portal to secret level 26. To trigger the crash on Level 26, just reload a saved game. The "no free space in objlist" message comes up again.

I can still go through level 26 by saving frequently and just start the game again when it crashes. However, another bug is discovered by using the rocket launcher to get rid of an army full skeletons. I can avoid that bug by not using the rocket launcher in that level.

After getting through Level 26, Level 20 won't load at all. If I avoid Level 26, Level 20 works fine, but then Level 21 won't load.

Even with what you guys told me to do, I still cannot get any further than Level 20.

To answer your earlier question Doomjedi, yes I used the latest EXE update AND removed the config.wl6 file.



EDIT: I warped to level 26 using the commands and it works fine. So it may not be the levels that are the problem. It must have to do with the mutant mecha fix. Remember, I was able to load the game at Level 26 in the older EXE. I have the saved game as proof of my troubles without the warping command.

Download links were updated with latest exe and mapping fix.

Just to be sure, it's the download links on your first post right?

@Wolfercooker: Yes, it's always the same link : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3751922/legacy_small.rar

You can send me your saved games to: wolf3dman [at] a o l [dot] c o m

@Milanor and Kumano: Your saved games helped Ron and me debug the <100% ratio on level 11. This is fixed in the latest update.

@Andy
When I downloaded the latest bug fix, it was from November 26.  It's still showing 97% kills for level 11.  I'm not sure if the most recent patch has been released.

I'm not sure what you mean. To get 100% on level 11, the level has to be re-played using today's updated files. The problem was that a few of the "surprise enemies" weren't being activated and hence couldn't be killed.

I couldn't find the most recent patch with today's files, do you have a link to it? Doomjedi's link in his first post seems to be for the older files (November 26 and before).

It's always the same links.

Sometimes I forget to update the dates, heh.
But if you'd downloaded the rar, you'd see files are last edited at 29.

I downloaded the latest update from here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3751922/legacy_small.rar

Try it again.

Thanks Andy, and yes it is fixed and now I'm on level 12 I'll let you know if I run into any other ratio problems or any other bugs while playing.

I'm great it worked
And yes, anything more you'll find to fix - we'd be glad to.

Andy, I will send you my saved game now. I started all over again with the new update. The crash still occurs at secret level 26. Now it says too many objects.

The saved game will start at Level 19 in front of the portal to secret level 26.

@Doomjedi, would you like to check out my saved game as well?


EDIT: I think I have pinpointed the problem to my crashes. It isn't the mutant mechas like I first thought, IT'S THE ENEMY SKELETONS. I skipped the secret level 26 and went right to Level 20. When I reloaded it, it crashed.

In my side of playing from the beginning, everything runs smooth, but apparently the remaining levels with the skeleton enemies are what's causing all these crashes. 

After further investigation, there's no other explanation. I now understand why the message "GetActor: Too many objects" comes up after the crash. 
The skeletons can throw projectile bones or when you kill them, their bones sometimes fly. Take out an army of them at once with a rocket launcher, then the game won't handle the memory. Also, the skeleton enemies themselves might have buggy programming.

Now if I use the commands to warp to any level with the skeletons in them, it works fine as far as reloading games go, but getting to the levels with the skeletons from the very beginning of the game is what's causing me this much trouble.

I have the same problem in level 13... May I send you my savefile one more time?

I never had problems with Level 13 Kumano. Did you look at EVERY well, gurney, stasis chamber, and suits of armor before making your assumption?


Off topic, but I find this to be weird. When you use the rocket launcher once to damage a PROTECTED mutant mecha (The MechaHitler version) and then the Chaingun to finish it off, RARELY an extra mutant spawns by accident.

I'm not sure if this was intentional, but when I finish a level and have a syringe, it is gone when I move on to the next level.  I would then have to find another syringe in order to use what I have.

I think it is intentional.

My apologies, I was missing one guy in a well the whole time... 

Milanor wrote:I'm not sure if this was intentional, but when I finish a level and have a syringe, it is gone when I move on to the next level.  I would then have to find another syringe in order to use what I have.

Can confirm, that is intentional indeed.

This might be an oversight, but I've noticed that the STG has no ammo item of it's own, but just the weapon itself, whereas all the other weapons have their own ammo item to pick up (rifle rounds, rockets, flame canister, sub-machine gun clip, pistol clip, shotgun shells, ammo belt, etc.)

I noticed that too, but I don't see any unused ammo sprites in Chaosedit so it isn't a glitch.

DropBox links were updated again with the fix to skeleton crashes.

Just got through level 16, and it shows 101% kills but hey, at least I still get a 10k bonus for it

BY GEORGE it works!!! I was right!

Thank you very much for your feedbacks!

Also, just got beyond level 16 and level 24 has a very interesting design It is one of the easiest and fun levels I've played so far.  The weapons and bonuses will really help someone who is starting the next level (where one will fight arch priests and sorcerers).

Great to hear you're advancing and having fun

When I die in the secret level 24, it always crashes with the reason being "too many objects"...

EDIT: It turns out that I can't actually advance to next level, as it always crashes 

Are you using the latest exe file along with most recent updated files?

Yop I am

You'll know if you're running the latest version by looking at the main menu. There should be a V1.01 in the bottom right corner.

Edit: Nevermind, there was a skeleton that was underground and didn't come up until I got close to it.

Speaking of level 21... It's quite brutal at the start and one would need to move fast in order to not end up dying. Also getting 100% kills was (gameplay wise) difficult as most of the enemies surround you at the start and all mount machine guns.

Files updated with poison pool fix.

This is bit late, but congratulations for releasing this mod. I think this is one of the best I have ever played.

I made it successfully to the end, with the last bug being 73% record displayed, although I had 100% ratio on each level. I can't sleep well until I see the ending screen with 100% ratio

Thank you!
And thank you for your betatesting and support

Now download the latest version with all the fixes and give it another play

We've heard there is a problem with last level musics not playing...we'll look into that

doomjedi wrote:We've heard there is a problem with last level musicsnot playing...we'll look into that

That's wierd, I have no problem with music...   My version is almost perfect, just the little endscreen problem 

@Doomjedi
What is with the poison pool fix? I'm guessing it has something to do the pool not being used up when you step in it?

@Kumano
Props on finishing the game! I suppose I could wait for a fix in the ratios before finishing the game so I can see 100% kills, secrets, and treasure.

Beat the game a few days ago and beat it again last night. Very very impressive. It was well worth the wait!

I just finished the game and it was well designed, thoroughly enjoyed it! Some of the enemies have pretty smart AI and features; it really keeps you on your toes.  The hardest levels for me were level 26 (especially when locking oneself in a secret area, and small space to fight the green skeleton boxers), level 25 when a lot of mutants get into mecha suits and many uber mutant bosses (grenade one, syringe one, and of course, the cleaver one.), and level 21 (especially near the start and many machine gun nests that are tactically positioned to ambush you).

I did manage to get 100% in ALL the levels including the secret levels! However, I'll replay the last level after the final ratios are fixed in a future update.

Glad to hear!

70%? We might look into that.

Oh, thank you! Very very nice to hear, so much effort was put into this mod for so many years by the team...

Vote for it for the mod of the year.

Thank you! I'm so happy

We have so many other cool mods in development...keep tracking us and our projects!

We are fine-tuning our modding abilities and methods with every mod.
I think things that will stay for our mods - is realism, detail and interactivity, especially last 2...we also liked the randomized factor in Legacy and it can be used in future mods as well.
We've listed many other "Legacy" aftermath conclusions and it'll be used to make our future mods better.

I plan to release in the future scrapped art pack from this mod...also draft drawings...

It was a bug where if you get enemy killed by stepping on a poison pool - he'd freeze (and block) on it's first death frame.

Oh yeah now I remember.

Whoa...
I've been so out of it I didn't even realize this had been released. 

With the word "release" appearing twice in thread's title?

Updated the (dropbox) files to fix music not playing in one of the secret levels.

Interesting because everything worked for me before

Well, no need for you to update then I guess

It was reported last secret level didn't play the music
