Why is swimming not allowed in this event?
It doesn't give any advantage in co-op and it's funny to do :lol:

Hey, Ostap, do I have to download a special mod for this (ST8, PESE/PEFE) or I could play also from original Sam, too?
I still don't know if I can join tourney.

Absolutely not ... the mod i've created is on the server side ... and does not affect any clients...

Thanks for reply. :)
Ok. Now I have two more doubts.
About the "out of map" rule, is it also for secrets? For example, the secret of heart on Hatshepsut or the secret of heart+200 Armor in Dunes, are they considered out of map? Or is it "collect all the keys"?
I before said I don't know if I will join in it because I want to know if a gamer has to play continuously all the maps, or he/she could play when he/she can. I just don't have much time to play all day long.

I guess I can answer that for you: secrets are (obviously?) part of the map and are thus considered accepted terrain. Out of the map would be jumping over the left/right walls in for example Metropolis (FE) and running in a straight line towards the end in the flat desert environment.
1 - No outside map walking
NO Above the map
NO Below the map
NO Bypass maps on the walls
Examples :

You can play any maps on choice.
The full game is not required.

I understand: I observed a lot of players doing that in Karnak, months and months ago. :asd:

Today I made some training: in 1 hour and quarter I played since Hatshepsut to Kings Valley. So, if I play the first maps in the first day, could I "continue" in the next day?

No, unless there is a different system in place since the last tournament (but i highly doubt it).
Every time you disconnect from the server you have to start over again, even when the reason for you disconnecting is the too many bad syncs error message.
You can however return to the map you were playing with the @map command

Yes, I know command "@map", it is like to choose custom level in single player.
The important thing I want to know is if the score and progress I made in the first session I play (let's suppose Hatshepsut-MoonMontains), remain registered in tourney stats (in forum) or if they start from zero in next session (from Oasis to Alley of The Sphinxes, let's suppose again) I restart to play in Ancient Hunter server. In the case the stats will count 2 or more separate games, will they be merged manually in this thread by admins?

The scores are cumulative, yes. If you get 2 points for example on day 1, then on day 2 you will have 2points + what you make on that day (and so on).
I hope everything is clear now?

Ok, thanks for your explanations and your patience! :D
I hope my questions and your answers will help players who will have the same doubts in next days. :)

Small Announcement
Due to the minor bugs in activity tracker - some players had they results zeroed out.....without possibility to restore the stats.
To remedy the situation - Alien Hunter event will be prolonged for 2 more days.. until 28th 23:59:59 (just for the sake of anymore errors that may occur today or tomorrow)
Sorry for inconvenience. My fault.
Activity tracker were tested before launch ....but it seems that it wasn't good enough for the live event.
...Few days later....
The buggy activity tracker got to be fixed now ...!!!!
There were some unexpected issues with Sam SDK ... (with player indexing.....but it's resolved now)
All kills should be correctly tracked now....

Today I spotted some bugs:
1) Bonemans are not counting correcly (im not sure if it concerns only them "kleers")
2) Items like fire/water are still not counted
3)Sometimes tracker register maps randomly as Great Pyramid. I played Karnak and 2x Metropolis after that. When i checked my progress at the website, Tracker just registered it as 3x "The Great Pyramid" :huh:
2) Items like fire/water are still not counted
This is not considered to be key
This is the key :

The other elements are present only in a single player mode.

They are listed with other "items/keys", so I thought they will be counted as well.

But... okay, thank you for fast reply.
Bonemans are not counting correcly
Can you be more specific ? ... how incorrectly ?

These elements are not always displayed in the game.
Besides water element - it is usually at the site.
P.S.
Most often, the lack of elements happens when you play with a partners.
Many times such notice.

yesterday i did 2x Great Pyramid
3 first waves of bonemans and 3 waves of werebulls.
It should be about 129 bonemans counted and 106 werebulls.
Here is the result:
http://i.imgur.com/qR2rWHc.png?1
As you see, just 22 bonemans.
For compare here you have the same 6 waves run which i did 5 days ago:

I can't finish the game. It's at least the second day I attempt to play The Great Pyramid, and I get disconnected for 'Too many bad syncs' when I reach the point of final corridor near the Pyramid, after killing the orange reptiloid and a lot of biomechs and bulls, when Ugh-Zan III is in the middle of this corridor.
I usually get this problem in fragmatch also, but it is more rare than this and it happens only when I have a lot of lag.
I played with an edited netscript and I got the disconnection. But it is the same when I use xDSL default script. I got disconnected also in the first days, when I played the first maps, but it was rare, happening maximum once. But in The Great Pyramid it's mathematic that I get disconnected in that point, even if in the last game I arrived to kill the skeletons with biomechs coming from the Pyramid.
The only edited file I have in 'Bin' folder is 'Engine.dll', edited in 28/07/2014 because it was the patch replacement for Master Server I downloaded here. Others are all edited in 2001.
Any other who had this issue?
