The story of '''Another Reality''' starts right after the events of the official add-on [[Return to Na Pali]]. The player turns out on the board of a military spacecraft, attacked by desperate Prisoner №849.

The atmosphere on the «Bodega Bay» bustles as the ship’s service does not stop for a moment. One more unit of space marines doesn’t come back from deployment. The connection is lost and the destiny of the prisoner is unknown. However, the military aren’t going to miss the objective. To prevent leaks of valuable information they have to dismantle the prisoner. While the command leads the mission, the whole staff of military technicians, specialists and service personnel tries to provide the soldiers with everything necessary. Not only the medical staff and the gunsmiths in the UMS arsenals are responsible, but also the military technicians, who equip the marines for landing in Na Pali. When the unit is about to start landing, an alarming message is reported by loudspeaker. After that, things go too fast to prevent a catastrophe.

The command reports about a terrain shuttle being located on the way out of the atmosphere. Ignoring warning signals and identification requests the shuttle continues its way towards the «Bodega Bay» adrift in orbit. And it’s pretty clear that the pilot of the shuttle is Prisoner №849. The «Bodega Bay» in its turn launches a missile, which turns to be fatal. Taking advantage of smaller shuttle dimensions, the Prisoner manages to avoid the blast. He flies in dangerous proximity to the spacecraft, forcing the target-seeking system to send the missile right towards the «Bodega Bay» bow.

The explosion damages one of the ship’s stabilizers. Plentiful arsenals, containing explosives start to detonate, provoking further chain reaction. The hull of the ship is breached and the life-support system is shut down. Without its stabilization system the ship starts to lean. The left cargo bay (which is damaged by a missile according to RtNP video) depressurizes. Control rooms and communication center get blocked by emergency protocols right away. Cabin and technical doors are on the contrary get open. Accompanied by the emergency siren the evacuation of personnel starts.

Only few people manage to get to escape pods or find another way of leaving the ship. One of them is a military UMS technician, responsible for maintenance of combat equipment operating in harsh conditions of alien planets and space outposts. Just before the alarm, he starts to check a military suit for one of the marines. Keenly aware of all possible dangers he gets into an enhanced spacesuit. After grabbing a compact and secure weapon (the Automag) and the Universal Translator, he heads to evacuation bay. Fortunately being well trained he knows how to cope with this kind of emergency. Meantime the crash proves to be disastrous and results in multiple fatalities. What’s more, even a successful evacuation might end up in an endless drift around a godforsaken planet, inhabited by hostile species. There is also a high risk of the escape pod crash. Then its passenger will be eventually left face-to-face with savage beasts and warrior aliens.

That’s exactly what our military technician thinks about. Fortunately, he comes up with the idea of getting into one of the landing shuttles used by the marines. With this shuttle it’s possible not only to get far away but also to reach one of the UMS bases. This perspective seems to be more successful than evacuation in escape pod.

No time is left, the «Bodega Bay» leans more ready to fall apart in any moment. It’s high time for the miltech to leave the scene using a landing shuttle.

He hardly manages to escape death as another obstacle gets in his way. His shuttle falls into one of the gravitational vortexes of the ill-known planetary field. The shuttle is out of control, the automatic navigation system shuts down and there is no time to reset the coordinates. A rocky area of Na Pali with its black cliffs, unknown lakes and green patches of local jungle is seen in the distance. The landing turns into a rapid fall. But fortune favors the bold. Our miltech bails out within seconds before his shuttle crashes into one of the cliffs and lands in a nearby pond.

The water breaks the fall and our lucky miltech survives. Confused and wounded, he ultimately makes it to shore. But what’s next? He faces a completely unfamiliar terrain full of multiple dangers, known and undisclosed ones. The miltech wearing a marine suit is left alone with the ill-fated planet, completely unaware of the «Bodega Bay» destiny. Is there a chance that anyone else might have survived the crash? Would it be possible to find the crash scene if the spaceship didn’t make it in orbit (which is quite evident)? He’ll have to go on a quest to find any survivors, help and reinforcement or any other way to escape from the planet. However, Na Pali is full of secrets and the adventures here don’t end that easy…

== Features ==
'''Another Reality''' is being developed as an immense campaign of 30 levels, bound by a single plot. It continues the original story of [[Unreal]] and the official expansion [[Return to Na Pali]]. '''Another Reality''' is a single player campaign, thought the possibility of cooperative gameplay is not excluded. Its main feature is an accurate following to the traditions of original [[Unreal]] and before all maintaining the unique atmosphere of the game.

The mod is planned to feature almost the whole [[Unreal]] and [[Return to Na Pali]] contents (weapons, bonuses, hostile and peaceful creatures) and also the environmental themes (industrial locations, futuristic bases, spaceships, primitive aborigine settlements and their larger towns, castles, fortresses and ancient temples, as well as different landscapes, plains, mountains and dungeons).

And on top of that, the mod will contain certain novelties. For instance, the stylistics of some '''AR''' levels conveys the locations of pre-released versions of [[Unreal]], which didn’t have analogues in the final version of the game. The gameplay process in its turn also has some new changes: it’s above all the possibility of using different mutators. They are totally optional and can be activated one at a time or all together thus changing the gameplay in a certain way. The current working version of AR works with three mutators: the first one adds the necessity of recharching of some weapons (the mutator is made by '''Alien3674''' and '''FACH''' specially for '''AR'''), the second one brings back the old weapons sounds (the mutator is created be '''SKW''' for a series of semi-official patches version 227 from ''OldUnreal'' team). And finally, the last one sufficiently enhances most enemies AI (the author of this mutator is '''Masterkent''', an ''OldUnreal'' team member). The two last mutators can be activated while playing the main [[Unreal]] campaign and [[Return to Na Pali]].

== Versions, releases, sequels ==
The mod is currently on the stage of development. There is a demo-version, uploaded in December 2011 (check References section). Officially, it has nine levels, but technically two of them are partially presented. Besides, almost all levels of the current version need to be improved and refined, though they do not contain any serious bugs. Down below you can find the screenshots from the demo-version and a complete walkthrough video of all levels.

Some more things are being planned at the moment. The first one is a demo-version, containing ten levels. Nine of the levels are from 2011 demo. They have been finalized and united together into two separate episodes. The second one is another location, more extensive in comparison with other levels. However, the deadline is still uncertain.

== Vacancies ==
To date, the '''Another Reality''' team needs people experienced in the UnrealED game engine version 1.0, 2.0 and 2.1 and Unreal Engine's native scripting language. The good knowledge of the [[Unreal]] game itself, of its pre-release 95 and 97 versions (the 95 version can be found in the References section, the 97 version can be shared by request) and of the official add-on [[Return to Na Pali]] can be also useful.

The mod is based on the English version of [[Unreal Gold]] v227 (the pre-version 227g and later).

'''Another Reality''' (сокращённо '''AR''') — синглплеерное дополнение для игры [[Unreal]], разрабатываемое на форуме [[Old-Games.Ru]] командой энтузиастов, в вариантах на русском и английском языках.

Сюжет '''Another Reality''' начинается буквально в тот же момент, когда заканчиваются события официального дополнения [[Return to Na Pali]] – но на борту военного крейсера, атакованного отчаянным заключённым №849.

На «Бодега Бэй» царила суета, и напряжённая работа всех служб корабля не прекращалась ни на минуту. Очередной, отправленный на планету На Пали, отряд космических пехотинцев не вернулся с задания, связь с ним была потеряна, а судьба заключённого оставалась неизвестной. Однако военные не собирались отступаться от поставленной цели и должны были обезвредить 849-ого, дабы ни в коем случае не допустить утечки важной информации. Пока командование руководило операцией, целый штат военных техников, специалистов и обслуживающего персонала был задействован на борту для наилучшего обеспечения бойцов всем необходимым. Кроме медицинских работников и оружейников в арсеналах ОВС, большая ответственность ложилась на плечи военных техников, снаряжающих морпехов для десантирования на На Пали. Новый отряд как раз должен был быть подготовлен к высадке как можно быстрее, когда по громкой связи с мостика было объявлено тревожное сообщение, после которого события развивались уже слишком стремительно, чтобы успеть предотвратить катастрофу.

Командование сообщило: терранский шаттл обнаружен на выходе из атмосферы планеты. Не отвечая на требования ОВС идентифицировать себя, он продолжает движение навстречу дрейфующему на орбите крейсеру, игнорируя предупреждения и не отвечая на запросы. Несложно догадаться, что пилот этого шаттла – заключённый №849. «Бодега Бэй» открывает огонь, и единственная выпущенная ракета оказывается фатальной – атакованный беглец, пользуясь преимуществами своего небольшого транспортного средства, совершает манёвр и уклоняется от удара, после чего пролетает совсем рядом с военным крейсером, заставляя систему самонаведения отправить ракету прямиком в лобовую атаку по носовой части запустившего её корабля.

Взрыв повреждает один из стабилизаторов, а детонация нескольких складов с боеприпасами приводит к цепной реакции из меньших по мощности взрывов, вызывающих многочисленные разрывы в обшивке носового корпуса и частичное повреждение систем жизнеобеспечения. Из-за отказа системы стабилизации, крейсер начинает крениться; происходит разгерметизация левого (именно в левую часть носа, как мы видим в финальном ролике RtNP, и приходится удар) грузового отсека. Контрольные комнаты и информационный\связной центр блокируются аварийными протоколами сразу же. А вот двери кают и технических помещений открываются, и под вой аварийных сирен начинается экстренная эвакуация персонала.

Мало кому удаётся добраться до спасательных шлюпок или найти иной способ покинуть гибнущий крейсер. Одним из таких счастливчиков оказывается военный техник, а именно – технический специалист флота ОВС по обслуживанию боевого снаряжения, предназначенного для эксплуатации в тяжёлых условиях чужих планет и космических аванпостов. Он как раз занимался проверкой боевого скафандра для одного из морпехов, когда зазвучала тревога. Предугадывая опасность скорой разгерметизации, и имея под рукой необходимое в таких случаях снаряжение, недолго думая, он облачается в бронескафандр и, забирает с собой самое компактное и проверенное оружие (автоматический пистолет), а также лежащий рядом с остальным оборудованием, универсальный логгер-переводчик, затем же бегом направляется к выпускающему отсеку.

По многочисленным учениям ему было хорошо известно, как следует вести себя в подобной ситуации. Вот только теперь – это не учения. Авария оказалась самой настоящей и уже унесла немало жизней. А что ещё хуже, даже успешная эвакуация в перспективе может закончиться вечным дрейфом вокруг богом забытой планеты, населённой враждебными существами. Или же капсула упадёт на эту самую планету, оставив своего пассажира на растерзание диким тварям и воинственным инопланетянам.

Приблизительно такие мысли крутились в возбуждённом сознании технического специалиста, когда он вспомнил о находящихся неподалёку десантных челноках. Они были готовы для использования следующим отрядом космических пехотинцев. С помощью такого шаттла можно было не только убраться подальше с места катастрофы, но и без труда добраться до ближайшей базы ОВС. И пусть у этого варианта шансов на успех было не больше, чем у идеи с эвакуацией на спасательной шлюпке, но такая перспектива была куда более заманчивой.

И вот, времени на раздумья больше не остаётся, «Бодега Бэй» кренится всё сильнее, готовая в любой момент буквально развалиться на части. А десантный челнок с военным техником внутри покидает злополучный крейсер.

Ему с трудом удаётся избежать гибели, и казалось бы, всё позади, но не тут-то было - корабль попадает в одну из гравитационных воронок печально известного аномального поля планеты. Полёт становится неуправляемым, система автоматической навигации отказывает, времени на перенастройку координат не остаётся... Внизу виднеется одна из скалистых областей На Пали, с чернеющими обрывами, безымянными озёрами и зелёными участками местных джунглей. Посадка превращается в стремительное падение, но судьба вновь улыбается военному технику. Поняв, что предпринять ничего не удастся, он катапультируется за считанные секунды до столкновения его шаттла со скалами, и оказывается в небольшом водоёме, расположенном неподалёку.

Вода смягчила падение, и счастливчик остался в живых. Обескураженный, раненый, он выбирается на берег... Но что же дальше? Перед ним совершенно незнакомая местность, полная опасностей – как известных, так и тех, с которыми, возможно, человек ещё не сталкивался. Военный специалист в костюме морпеха остаётся наедине со злополучной планетой, в полном неведении относительно дальнейшей судьбы крейсера «Бодега Бэй». Мог ли уцелеть ещё кто-то кроме него? И если крейсер (что довольно очевидно) не удержался на орбите, то можно ли отыскать место его крушения? Ему придётся идти на поиски - выживших, помощи, подкрепления - или любого возможного способа сбежать с этой планеты. Но На Пали хранит множество секретов, и приключения здесь никогда не заканчиваются вот так просто...

== Особенности ==
'''Another Reality''' разрабатывается как масштабная кампания из 30 уровней, связанных единым сюжетом, который продолжает историю рассказанную в оригинальной игре [[Unreal]], а также официальном дополнении [[Return to Na Pali]]. Кампания предназначена для одиночного прохождения, однако возможность кооперативного прохождения пока не исключается. Главной особенностью '''Another Reality''' является бережное следование традициям оригинального [[Unreal]], и прежде всего сохранение уникальной атмосферы присущей этой игре.

В данном моде планируется использование практически всего контента из [[Unreal]] и [[Return to Na Pali]] (оружия, бонусов, враждебных и мирных существ), а также тем окружения (индустриальные локации, футуристические базы, космические корабли, примитивные поселения аборигенов и их крупные города, замки, крепости и древние храмы, кроме того разнообразные природные ландшафты: равнины, горы и подземелья).

Вдобавок ко всему этому, мод будет содержать и определённые новшества. Так, например, стилистика некоторых уровней '''Another Reality''' основывается на локациях дорелизных версий [[Unreal]], не имевших прямых аналогов в конечном варианте игры. В игровом процессе '''AR''' также есть свои небольшие нововведения: это, прежде всего, возможность игры с мутаторами, которые, как и в случае с мутаторами для [[Unreal Tournament]], подключаются по желанию игрока, по одному или все вместе, и определённым образом меняют геймплей. К текущему моменту, рабочий билд Another Reality позволяет запускать уровни этого дополнения с тремя мутаторами: первый из них добавляет необходимость перезарядки для некоторого оружия (мутатор изготовили '''Alien3674''' и '''FACH''' специально для мода), второй возвращает старую озвучку оружия, имевшую место в ранних версиях [[Unreal]] (мутатор написал '''SKW''' для серии полуофициальных патчей версии 227 от команды ''OldUnreal''), и, наконец, третий мутатор заметно улучшает искусственный интеллект большинства противников (автор этого мутатора '''Masterkent''' также из команды ''OldUnreal''). Мутаторы на искусственный интеллект и озвучку оружия можно применять и в прохождении основных кампаний [[Unreal]] и [[Return to Na Pali]].

== Версии, издания и продолжения ==
В данный момент игра находится в разработке. Существует демо-версия, выложенная в сеть в декабре 2011 года (см. раздел "Ссылки"). Формально в ней имеется 9 уровней, однако два из них представлены лишь в виде фрагментов. Кроме того, почти все уровни данной демо-версии, хотя и не содержат заметных багов, по-прежнему нуждаются в определённой доработке и “полировке”. Ниже приведены скриншоты из этой демо-версии, также в ссылках вы найдёте видеопрохождение всех уровней.

Планируется подготовка ещё одной демо-версии из 10 уровней. 9 из них, - прошедшие окончательную доработку уровни из демо-версии 2011 года, объединённые по сюжету в 2 отдельных эпизода. И одна дополнительная локация, более масштабная в сравнении с остальными представленными уровнями. Срок сдачи этой демо-версии пока не определён.

== Вакансии ==
На данный момент команда разработчиков '''Another Reality''' нуждается в людях, владеющих встроенным редактором ''UnrealED'' версий 1.0, 2.0 и 2.1, а также внутриигровым языком программирования ''UnrealScript''. Кроме того, полезным окажется хорошее знание самой игры [[Unreal]], её дорелизных вариантов 95 и 97 годов (первый можно найти в разделе "Ссылки", второй может быть выдан по личной заявке) и, конечно, официального аддона [[Return to Na Pali]].

Дополнение создаётся на базе англоязычного варианта [[Unreal Gold]] v227 (подверсии 227g и более поздние).

- Разработка мода перенесена на другую техническую базу, это [[Unreal Gold]] v227

- '''SkaarjZR''' предоставил для мода новую русификацию, в том числе более каноничные шрифты для HUD.

- Начинается подготовка английской версии дополнения для международной аудитории

- Пишутся первые скрипты. Среди них: скрипт, заменяющий стандартного player'а морпехом с соответствующими атрибутами, скрипт позволяющий запускать мод из отдельного меню с выбором эпизода и сложности, а также скрипт отвечающий за ведение статистики по результатам прохождения каждого уровня кампании

- Публикуется первая Beta-Demo дополнения, на двух языках, русском и английском

<big>2012 год:</big>

- Идёт обсуждение по поводу корректировок сюжета. Их необходимость признана. Но относительно характера этих корректировок, то есть того, насколько много будет перемен и сколь глубокими они станут, нет единого мнения, и достичь компромисса на этот счёт также не удаётся. В результате команду покидают '''Alexys''' и '''Alien3674''', а доработка сюжета, в “щадящей” форме (то есть без затрагивания ключевых моментов повествования и фактических наработок в виде уровней), проводится без их участия

И пусть у этого варианта шансов на успех было не больше, чем у идеи с эвакуацией на спасательной шлюпке, но такая перспектива была куда более заманчивой.

И вот, времени на раздумья больше не остаётся, «Бодега Бэй» кренится всё сильнее, готовая в любой момент буквально развалиться на части. А десантный челнок с военным техником внутри покидает злополучный крейсер.

Ему с трудом удаётся избежать гибели, и казалось бы, всё позади, но не тут-то было - корабль попадает в одну из гравитационных воронок печально известного аномального поля планеты. Полёт становится неуправляемым, система автоматической навигации отказывает, времени на перенастройку координат не остаётся... Внизу виднеется одна из скалистых областей На Пали, с чернеющими обрывами, безымянными озёрами и зелёными участками местных джунглей. Посадка превращается в стремительное падение, но судьба вновь улыбается военному технику. Поняв, что предпринять ничего не удастся, он катапультируется за считанные секунды до столкновения его шаттла со скалами, и оказывается в небольшом водоёме, расположенном неподалёку.

Вода смягчила падение, и счастливчик остался в живых. Обескураженный, раненый, он выбирается на берег... Но что же дальше? Перед ним совершенно незнакомая местность, полная опасностей – как известных, так и тех, с которыми, возможно, человек ещё не сталкивался. Военный специалист в костюме морпеха остаётся наедине со злополучной планетой, в полном неведении относительно дальнейшей судьбы крейсера «Бодега Бэй». Мог ли уцелеть ещё кто-то кроме него? И если крейсер (что довольно очевидно) не удержался на орбите, то можно ли отыскать место его крушения? Ему придётся идти на поиски - выживших, помощи, подкрепления - или любого возможного способа сбежать с этой планеты. Но На Пали хранит множество секретов, и приключения здесь никогда не заканчиваются вот так просто...

== Особенности ==
'''Another Reality''' разрабатывается как масштабная кампания из 30 уровней, связанных единым сюжетом, который продолжает историю рассказанную в оригинальной игре [[Unreal]], а также официальном дополнении [[Return to Na Pali]]. Кампания предназначена для одиночного прохождения, однако возможность кооперативного прохождения пока не исключается. Главной особенностью '''Another Reality''' является бережное следование традициям оригинального [[Unreal]], и прежде всего сохранение уникальной атмосферы присущей этой игре.

В данном моде планируется использование практически всего контента из [[Unreal]] и [[Return to Na Pali]] (оружия, бонусов, враждебных и мирных существ), а также тем окружения (индустриальные локации, футуристические базы, космические корабли, примитивные поселения аборигенов и их крупные города, замки, крепости и древние храмы, кроме того разнообразные природные ландшафты: равнины, горы и подземелья).

Вдобавок ко всему этому, мод будет содержать и определённые новшества. Так, например, стилистика некоторых уровней '''Another Reality''' основывается на локациях дорелизных версий [[Unreal]], не имевших прямых аналогов в конечном варианте игры. В игровом процессе '''AR''' также есть свои небольшие нововведения: это, прежде всего, возможность игры с мутаторами, которые, как и в случае с мутаторами для [[Unreal Tournament]], подключаются по желанию игрока, по одному или все вместе, и определённым образом меняют геймплей. К текущему моменту, рабочий билд Another Reality позволяет запускать уровни этого дополнения с тремя мутаторами: первый из них добавляет необходимость перезарядки для некоторого оружия (мутатор изготовили '''Alien3674''' и '''FACH''' специально для мода), второй возвращает старую озвучку оружия, имевшую место в ранних версиях [[Unreal]] (мутатор написал '''SKW''' для серии полуофициальных патчей версии 227 от команды ''OldUnreal''), и, наконец, третий мутатор заметно улучшает искусственный интеллект большинства противников (автор этого мутатора '''Masterkent''' также из команды ''OldUnreal''). Мутаторы на искусственный интеллект и озвучку оружия можно применять и в прохождении основных кампаний [[Unreal]] и [[Return to Na Pali]].

== Версии, издания и продолжения ==
В данный момент игра находится в разработке. Существует демо-версия, выложенная в сеть в декабре 2011 года (см. раздел "Ссылки"). Формально в ней имеется 9 уровней, однако два из них представлены лишь в виде фрагментов. Кроме того, почти все уровни данной демо-версии, хотя и не содержат заметных багов, по-прежнему нуждаются в определённой доработке и “полировке”. Ниже приведены скриншоты из этой демо-версии, также в ссылках вы найдёте видеопрохождение всех уровней.

Планируется подготовка ещё одной демо-версии из 10 уровней. 9 из них, - прошедшие окончательную доработку уровни из демо-версии 2011 года, объединённые по сюжету в 2 отдельных эпизода. И одна дополнительная локация, более масштабная в сравнении с остальными представленными уровнями. Срок сдачи этой демо-версии пока не определён.

== Вакансии ==
На данный момент команда разработчиков '''Another Reality''' нуждается в людях, владеющих встроенным редактором ''UnrealED'' версий 1.0, 2.0 и 2.1, а также внутриигровым языком программирования ''UnrealScript''. Кроме того, полезным окажется хорошее знание самой игры [[Unreal]], её дорелизных вариантов 95 и 97 годов (первый можно найти в разделе "Ссылки", второй может быть выдан по личной заявке) и, конечно, официального аддона [[Return to Na Pali]].

Дополнение создаётся на базе англоязычного варианта [[Unreal Gold]] v227 (подверсии 227g и более поздние).

- Начинается подготовка английской версии дополнения для международной аудитории

- Пишутся первые скрипты. Среди них: скрипт, заменяющий стандартного player'а морпехом с соответствующими атрибутами, скрипт позволяющий запускать мод из отдельного меню с выбором эпизода и сложности, а также скрипт отвечающий за ведение статистики по результатам прохождения каждого уровня кампании

- Публикуется первая Beta-Demo дополнения, на двух языках, русском и английском

<big>2012 год:</big>

{{languages|Another Reality}}

'''Another Reality''' (abbreviated '''AR''') is a single player campaign for [[Unreal]]. It is being developed by a team of enthusiasts on [[Old-Games.Ru]] forum both in Russian and in English.

== Game world ==
===Plot===

}}
The story of '''Another Reality''' starts right after the events of the official add-on [[Return to Na Pali]]. The player turns out on the board of a military spacecraft, attacked by desperate Prisoner №849.

The atmosphere on the «Bodega Bay» bustles as the ship’s service does not stop for a moment. One more unit of space marines doesn’t come back from deployment. The connection is lost and the destiny of the prisoner is unknown. However, the military aren’t going to miss the objective. To prevent leaks of valuable information they have to dismantle the prisoner. While the command leads the mission, the whole staff of military technicians, specialists and service personnel tries to provide the soldiers with everything necessary. Not only the medical staff and the gunsmiths in the UMS arsenals are responsible, but also the military technicians, who equip the marines for landing in Na Pali. When the unit is about to start landing, an alarming message is reported by loudspeaker. After that, things go too fast to prevent a catastrophe.

The command reports about a terrain shuttle being located on the way out of the atmosphere. Ignoring warning signals and identification requests the shuttle continues its way towards the «Bodega Bay» adrift in orbit. And it’s pretty clear that the pilot of the shuttle is Prisoner №849. The «Bodega Bay» in its turn launches a missile, which turns to be fatal. Taking advantage of smaller shuttle dimensions, the Prisoner manages to avoid the blast. He flies in dangerous proximity to the spacecraft, forcing the target-seeking system to send the missile right towards the «Bodega Bay» bow.

The explosion damages one of the ship’s stabilizers. Plentiful arsenals, containing explosives start to detonate, provoking further chain reaction. The hull of the ship is breached and the life-support system is shut down. Without its stabilization system the ship starts to lean. The left cargo bay (which is damaged by a missile according to RtNP video) depressurizes. Control rooms and communication center get blocked by emergency protocols right away. Cabin and technical doors are on the contrary get open. Accompanied by the emergency siren the evacuation of personnel starts.

Only few people manage to get to escape pods or find another way of leaving the ship. One of them is a military UMS technician, responsible for maintenance of combat equipment operating in harsh conditions of alien planets and space outposts. Just before the alarm, he starts to check a military suit for one of the marines. Keenly aware of all possible dangers he gets into an enhanced spacesuit. After grabbing a compact and secure weapon (the Automag) and the Universal Translator, he heads to evacuation bay. Fortunately being well trained he knows how to cope with this kind of emergency. Meantime the crash proves to be disastrous and results in multiple fatalities. What’s more, even a successful evacuation might end up in an endless drift around a godforsaken planet, inhabited by hostile species. There is also a high risk of the escape pod crash. Then its passenger will be eventually left face-to-face with savage beasts and warrior aliens.

That’s exactly what our military technician thinks about. Fortunately, he comes up with the idea of getting into one of the landing shuttles used by the marines. With this shuttle it’s possible not only to get far away but also to reach one of the UMS bases. This perspective seems to be more successful than evacuation in escape pod.

No time is left, the «Bodega Bay» leans more ready to fall apart in any moment. It’s high time for the miltech to leave the scene using a landing shuttle.

He hardly manages to escape death as another obstacle gets in his way. His shuttle falls into one of the gravitational vortexes of the ill-known planetary field. The shuttle is out of control, the automatic navigation system shuts down and there is no time to reset the coordinates. A rocky area of Na Pali with its black cliffs, unknown lakes and green patches of local jungle is seen in the distance. The landing turns into a rapid fall. But fortune favors the bold. Our miltech bails out within seconds before his shuttle crashes into one of the cliffs and lands in a nearby pond.

The water breaks the fall and our lucky miltech survives. Confused and wounded, he ultimately makes it to shore. But what’s next? He faces a completely unfamiliar terrain full of multiple dangers, known and undisclosed ones. The miltech wearing a marine suit is left alone with the ill-fated planet, completely unaware of the «Bodega Bay» destiny. Is there a chance that anyone else might have survived the crash? Would it be possible to find the crash scene if the spaceship didn’t make it in orbit (which is quite evident)? He’ll have to go on a quest to find any survivors, help and reinforcement or any other way to escape from the planet. However, Na Pali is full of secrets and the adventures here don’t end that easy…

== Features ==
'''Another Reality''' is being developed as an immense campaign of 30 levels, bound by a single plot. It continues the original story of [[Unreal]] and the official expansion [[Return to Na Pali]]. '''Another Reality''' is a single player campaign, thought the possibility of cooperative gameplay is not excluded. Its main feature is an accurate following to the traditions of original [[Unreal]] and before all maintaining the unique atmosphere of the game.

The mod is planned to feature almost the whole [[Unreal]] and [[Return to Na Pali]] contents (weapons, bonuses, hostile and peaceful creatures) and also the environmental themes (industrial locations, futuristic bases, spaceships, primitive aborigine settlements and their larger towns, castles, fortresses and ancient temples, as well as different landscapes, plains, mountains and dungeons).

And on top of that, the mod will contain certain novelties. For instance, the stylistics of some '''AR''' levels conveys the locations of pre-released versions of [[Unreal]], which didn’t have analogues in the final version of the game. The gameplay process in its turn also has some new changes: it’s above all the possibility of using different mutators. They are totally optional and can be activated one at a time or all together thus changing the gameplay in a certain way. The current working version of AR works with three mutators: the first one adds the necessity of recharching of some weapons (the mutator is made by '''Alien3674''' and '''FACH''' specially for '''AR'''), the second one brings back the old weapons sounds (the mutator is created be '''SKW''' for a series of semi-official patches version 227 from ''OldUnreal'' team). And finally, the last one sufficiently enhances most enemies AI (the author of this mutator is '''Masterkent''', an ''OldUnreal'' team member). The two last mutators can be activated while playing the main [[Unreal]] campaign and [[Return to Na Pali]].

== Versions, releases, sequels ==
The mod is currently on the stage of development. There is a demo-version, uploaded in December 2011 (check References section). Officially, it has nine levels, but technically two of them are partially presented. Besides, almost all levels of the current version need to be improved and refined, though they do not contain any serious bugs. Down below you can find the screenshots from the demo-version and a complete walkthrough video of all levels.

Some more things are being planned at the moment. The first one is a demo-version, containing ten levels. Nine of the levels are from 2011 demo. They have been finalized and united together into two separate episodes. The second one is another location, more extensive in comparison with other levels. However, the deadline is still uncertain.

== Team ==
The team members of Another Reality changed repeatedly during the whole period of the mod development.

=== Initial team members ===
(the members are listed in chronological order according to their appearance in a team)

- '''LipShez'''
- '''M210'''
- '''unreal doom'''

=== Present team members ===
(the same chronological order)

- '''unreal doom'''
- '''King (King89)'''
- '''ArchGrey'''

== Vacancies ==
To date, the '''Another Reality''' team needs people experienced in the UnrealED game engine version 1.0, 2.0 and 2.1 and Unreal Engine's native scripting language. The good knowledge of the [[Unreal]] game itself, of its pre-release 95 and 97 versions (the 95 version can be found in the References section, the 97 version can be shared by request) and of the official add-on [[Return to Na Pali]] can be also useful.

The mod is based on the English version of [[Unreal Gold]] v227 (the pre-version 227g and later).

{{languages|Another Reality}}

'''Another Reality''' (abbreviated '''AR''') is a single player campaign for [[Unreal]]. It is being developed by a team of enthusiasts on [[Old-Games.Ru]] forum both in Russian and in English.

The story of '''Another Reality''' starts right after the events of the official add-on [[Return to Na Pali]]. The player turns out on the board of a military spacecraft, attacked by desperate Prisoner №849.

The atmosphere on the «Bodega Bay» bustles as the ship’s service does not stop for a moment. One more unit of space marines doesn’t come back from deployment. The connection is lost and the destiny of the prisoner is unknown. However, the military aren’t going to miss the objective. To prevent leaks of valuable information they have to dismantle the prisoner. While the command leads the mission, the whole staff of military technicians, specialists and service personnel tries to provide the soldiers with everything necessary. Not only the medical staff and the gunsmiths in the UMS arsenals are responsible, but also the military technicians, who equip the marines for landing in Na Pali. When the unit is about to start landing, an alarming message is reported by loudspeaker. After that, things go too fast to prevent a catastrophe.

The command reports about a terrain shuttle being located on the way out of the atmosphere. Ignoring warning signals and identification requests the shuttle continues its way towards the «Bodega Bay» adrift in orbit. And it’s pretty clear that the pilot of the shuttle is Prisoner №849. The «Bodega Bay» in its turn launches a missile, which turns to be fatal. Taking advantage of smaller shuttle dimensions, the Prisoner manages to avoid the blast. He flies in dangerous proximity to the spacecraft, forcing the target-seeking system to send the missile right towards the «Bodega Bay» bow.

The explosion damages one of the ship’s stabilizers. Plentiful arsenals, containing explosives start to detonate, provoking further chain reaction. The hull of the ship is breached and the life-support system is shut down. Without its stabilization system the ship starts to lean. The left cargo bay (which is damaged by a missile according to RtNP video) depressurizes. Control rooms and communication center get blocked by emergency protocols right away. Cabin and technical doors are on the contrary get open. Accompanied by the emergency siren the evacuation of personnel starts.

Only few people manage to get to escape pods or find another way of leaving the ship. One of them is a military UMS technician, responsible for maintenance of combat equipment operating in harsh conditions of alien planets and space outposts. Just before the alarm, he starts to check a military suit for one of the marines. Keenly aware of all possible dangers he gets into an enhanced spacesuit. After grabbing a compact and secure weapon (the Automag) and the Universal Translator, he heads to evacuation bay. Fortunately being well trained he knows how to cope with this kind of emergency. Meantime the crash proves to be disastrous and results in multiple fatalities. What’s more, even a successful evacuation might end up in an endless drift around a godforsaken planet, inhabited by hostile species. There is also a high risk of the escape pod crash. Then its passenger will be eventually left face-to-face with savage beasts and warrior aliens.

That’s exactly what our military technician thinks about. Fortunately, he comes up with the idea of getting into one of the landing shuttles used by the marines. With this shuttle it’s possible not only to get far away but also to reach one of the UMS bases. This perspective seems to be more successful than evacuation in escape pod.

No time is left, the «Bodega Bay» leans more ready to fall apart in any moment. It’s high time for the miltech to leave the scene using a landing shuttle.

He hardly manages to escape death as another obstacle gets in his way. His shuttle falls into one of the gravitational vortexes of the ill-known planetary field. The shuttle is out of control, the automatic navigation system shuts down and there is no time to reset the coordinates. A rocky area of Na Pali with its black cliffs, unknown lakes and green patches of local jungle is seen in the distance. The landing turns into a rapid fall. But fortune favors the bold. Our miltech bails out within seconds before his shuttle crashes into one of the cliffs and lands in a nearby pond.

The water breaks the fall and our lucky miltech survives. Confused and wounded, he ultimately makes it to shore. But what’s next? He faces a completely unfamiliar terrain full of multiple dangers, known and undisclosed ones. The miltech wearing a marine suit is left alone with the ill-fated planet, completely unaware of the «Bodega Bay» destiny. Is there a chance that anyone else might have survived the crash? Would it be possible to find the crash scene if the spaceship didn’t make it in orbit (which is quite evident)? He’ll have to go on a quest to find any survivors, help and reinforcement or any other way to escape from the planet. However, Na Pali is full of secrets and the adventures here don’t end that easy…

== Features ==
'''Another Reality''' is being developed as an immense campaign of 30 levels, bound by a single plot. It continues the original story of [[Unreal]] and the official expansion [[Return to Na Pali]]. '''Another Reality''' is a single player campaign, thought the possibility of cooperative gameplay is not excluded. Its main feature is an accurate following to the traditions of original [[Unreal]] and before all maintaining the unique atmosphere of the game.

The mod is planned to feature almost the whole [[Unreal]] and [[Return to Na Pali]] contents (weapons, bonuses, hostile and peaceful creatures) and also the environmental themes (industrial locations, futuristic bases, spaceships, primitive aborigine settlements and their larger towns, castles, fortresses and ancient temples, as well as different landscapes, plains, mountains and dungeons).

And on top of that, the mod will contain certain novelties. For instance, the stylistics of some '''AR''' levels conveys the locations of pre-released versions of [[Unreal]], which didn’t have analogues in the final version of the game. The gameplay process in its turn also has some new changes: it’s above all the possibility of using different mutators. They are totally optional and can be activated one at a time or all together thus changing the gameplay in a certain way. The current working version of AR works with three mutators: the first one adds the necessity of recharching of some weapons (the mutator is made by '''Alien3674''' and '''FACH''' specially for '''AR'''), the second one brings back the old weapons sounds (the mutator is created be '''SKW''' for a series of semi-official patches version 227 from ''OldUnreal'' team). And finally, the last one sufficiently enhances most enemies AI (the author of this mutator is '''Masterkent''', an ''OldUnreal'' team member). The two last mutators can be activated while playing the main [[Unreal]] campaign and [[Return to Na Pali]].

== Versions, releases, sequels ==
The mod is currently on the stage of development. There is a demo-version, uploaded in December 2011 (check References section). Officially, it has nine levels, but technically two of them are partially presented. Besides, almost all levels of the current version need to be improved and refined, though they do not contain any serious bugs. Down below you can find the screenshots from the demo-version and a complete walkthrough video of all levels.

Some more things are being planned at the moment. The first one is a demo-version, containing ten levels. Nine of the levels are from 2011 demo. They have been finalized and united together into two separate episodes. The second one is another location, more extensive in comparison with other levels. However, the deadline is still uncertain.

== Vacancies ==
To date, the '''Another Reality''' team needs people experienced in the UnrealED game engine version 1.0, 2.0 and 2.1 and Unreal Engine's native scripting language. The good knowledge of the [[Unreal]] game itself, of its pre-release 95 and 97 versions (the 95 version can be found in the References section, the 97 version can be shared by request) and of the official add-on [[Return to Na Pali]] can be also useful.

The mod is based on the English version of [[Unreal Gold]] v227 (the pre-version 227g and later).

'''Another Reality''' (abbreviated '''AR''') is a single player campaign for [[Unreal]]. It is being developed by a team of enthusiasts on [[Old-Games.Ru]] forum both in Russian and in English.

The story of '''Another Reality''' starts right after the events of the official add-on [[Return to Na Pali]]. The player turns out on the board of a military spacecraft, attacked by desperate Prisoner №849.

The atmosphere on the «Bodega Bay» bustles as the ship’s service does not stop for a moment. One more unit of space marines doesn’t come back from deployment. The connection is lost and the destiny of the prisoner is unknown. However, the military aren’t going to miss the objective. To prevent leaks of valuable information they have to dismantle the prisoner. While the command leads the mission, the whole staff of military technicians, specialists and service personnel tries to provide the soldiers with everything necessary. Not only the medical staff and the gunsmiths in the UMS arsenals are responsible, but also the military technicians, who equip the marines for landing in Na Pali. When the unit is about to start landing, an alarming message is reported by loudspeaker. After that, things go too fast to prevent a catastrophe.

The command reports about a terrain shuttle being located on the way out of the atmosphere. Ignoring warning signals and identification requests the shuttle continues its way towards the «Bodega Bay» adrift in orbit. And it’s pretty clear that the pilot of the shuttle is Prisoner №849. The «Bodega Bay» in its turn launches a missile, which turns to be fatal. Taking advantage of smaller shuttle dimensions, the Prisoner manages to avoid the blast. He flies in dangerous proximity to the spacecraft, forcing the target-seeking system to send the missile right towards the «Bodega Bay» bow.

The explosion damages one of the ship’s stabilizers. Plentiful arsenals, containing explosives start to detonate, provoking further chain reaction. The hull of the ship is breached and the life-support system is shut down. Without its stabilization system the ship starts to lean. The left cargo bay (which is damaged by a missile according to RtNP video) depressurizes. Control rooms and communication center get blocked by emergency protocols right away. Cabin and technical doors are on the contrary get open. Accompanied by the emergency siren the evacuation of personnel starts.

Only few people manage to get to escape pods or find another way of leaving the ship. One of them is a military UMS technician, responsible for maintenance of combat equipment operating in harsh conditions of alien planets and space outposts. Just before the alarm, he starts to check a military suit for one of the marines. Keenly aware of all possible dangers he gets into an enhanced spacesuit. After grabbing a compact and secure weapon (the Automag) and the Universal Translator, he heads to evacuation bay. Fortunately being well trained he knows how to cope with this kind of emergency. Meantime the crash proves to be disastrous and results in multiple fatalities. What’s more, even a successful evacuation might end up in an endless drift around a godforsaken planet, inhabited by hostile species. There is also a high risk of the escape pod crash. Then its passenger will be eventually left face-to-face with savage beasts and warrior aliens.

That’s exactly what our military technician thinks about. Fortunately, he comes up with the idea of getting into one of the landing shuttles used by the marines. With this shuttle it’s possible not only to get far away but also to reach one of the UMS bases. This perspective seems to be more successful than evacuation in escape pod.

No time is left, the «Bodega Bay» leans more ready to fall apart in any moment. It’s high time for the miltech to leave the scene using a landing shuttle.

He hardly manages to escape death as another obstacle gets in his way. His shuttle falls into one of the gravitational vortexes of the ill-known planetary field. The shuttle is out of control, the automatic navigation system shuts down and there is no time to reset the coordinates. A rocky area of Na Pali with its black cliffs, unknown lakes and green patches of local jungle is seen in the distance. The landing turns into a rapid fall. But fortune favors the bold. Our miltech bails out within seconds before his shuttle crashes into one of the cliffs and lands in a nearby pond.

The water breaks the fall and our lucky miltech survives. Confused and wounded, he ultimately makes it to shore. But what’s next? He faces a completely unfamiliar terrain full of multiple dangers, known and undisclosed ones. The miltech wearing a marine suit is left alone with the ill-fated planet, completely unaware of the «Bodega Bay» destiny. Is there a chance that anyone else might have survived the crash? Would it be possible to find the crash scene if the spaceship didn’t make it in orbit (which is quite evident)? He’ll have to go on a quest to find any survivors, help and reinforcement or any other way to escape from the planet. However, Na Pali is full of secrets and the adventures here don’t end that easy…

== Features ==
'''Another Reality''' is being developed as an immense campaign of 30 levels, bound by a single plot. It continues the original story of [[Unreal]] and the official expansion [[Return to Na Pali]]. '''Another Reality''' is a single player campaign, thought the possibility of cooperative gameplay is not excluded. Its main feature is an accurate following to the traditions of original [[Unreal]] and before all maintaining the unique atmosphere of the game.

The mod is planned to feature almost the whole [[Unreal]] and [[Return to Na Pali]] contents (weapons, bonuses, hostile and peaceful creatures) and also the environmental themes (industrial locations, futuristic bases, spaceships, primitive aborigine settlements and their larger towns, castles, fortresses and ancient temples, as well as different landscapes, plains, mountains and dungeons).

And on top of that, the mod will contain certain novelties. For instance, the stylistics of some '''AR''' levels conveys the locations of pre-released versions of [[Unreal]], which didn’t have analogues in the final version of the game. The gameplay process in its turn also has some new changes: it’s above all the possibility of using different mutators. They are totally optional and can be activated one at a time or all together thus changing the gameplay in a certain way. The current working version of AR works with three mutators: the first one adds the necessity of recharching of some weapons (the mutator is made by '''Alien3674''' and '''FACH''' specially for '''AR'''), the second one brings back the old weapons sounds (the mutator is created be '''SKW''' for a series of semi-official patches version 227 from ''OldUnreal'' team). And finally, the last one sufficiently enhances most enemies AI (the author of this mutator is '''Masterkent''', an ''OldUnreal'' team member). The two last mutators can be activated while playing the main [[Unreal]] campaign and [[Return to Na Pali]].

== Versions, releases, sequels ==
The mod is currently on the stage of development. There is a demo-version, uploaded in December 2011 (check References section). Officially, it has nine levels, but technically two of them are partially presented. Besides, almost all levels of the current version need to be improved and refined, though they do not contain any serious bugs. Down below you can find the screenshots from the demo-version and a complete walkthrough video of all levels.

Some more things are being planned at the moment. The first one is a demo-version, containing ten levels. Nine of the levels are from 2011 demo. They have been finalized and united together into two separate episodes. The second one is another location, more extensive in comparison with other levels. However, the deadline is still uncertain.

- '''unreal doom'''

=== Present team members ===
(the same chronological order)

== Vacancies ==
To date, the '''Another Reality''' team needs people experienced in the UnrealED game engine version 1.0, 2.0 and 2.1 and Unreal Engine's native scripting language. The good knowledge of the [[Unreal]] game itself, of its pre-release 95 and 97 versions (the 95 version can be found in the References section, the 97 version can be shared by request) and of the official add-on [[Return to Na Pali]] can be also useful.

The mod is based on the English version of [[Unreal Gold]] v227 (the pre-version 227g and later).

To date, the '''Another Reality''' team needs people experienced in the UnrealED game engine version 1.0, 2.0 and 2.1 and Unreal Engine's native scripting language. The good knowledge of the [[Unreal]] game itself, of its pre-release 95 and 97 versions (the 95 version can be found in the References section, the 97 version can be shared by request) and of the official add-on [[Return to Na Pali]] can be also useful.

The mod is based on the English version of [[Unreal Gold]] v227 (the pre-version 227g and later).
