Version differences

Only the GOG.com and Steam versions of Classic 2000 include multiplayer.

Essential improvements

Modifications

  • Aliens versus Predator Classic Redux - a completed project that updates and expands the original Aliens vs. Predator Classic 2000. It replaces almost every model, texture, and sound in the game with higher quality ones. Every singleplayer and standard multiplayer map has these improvements, and some single player levels have significant additions.
  • AvP Direct3D9 Renderer - updated renderer for improved compatibility (almost pointless with classic 2000 version, except for resolution independent menu rendering)

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/3730/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (3730) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
