• Hey everyone happy Christmas Eve we're aware of what's happened with the source code so to keep this simple absolutely don't post it on the site or use it to make mods with (it's not particularly preferable toward this end anyway) and tread lightly in general until we see how this settles, thanks to all and have a great holiday season -DT

Allow me to explain.

I cannot have 100 corridors because I have to keep it to 94 for the bosses to work.
The style is Hell throughout the entire game. I will modify the Hell tileset for some levels (water, moving blocks).

To beat the game properly, one must do everything in one run, timed, Nemesis. For practice, I will make a special access corridor which only opens as you beat every 10 levels (for practice).

I cannot have 1 health. My attempts at this have failed, I would like 1 health but I think the engine disallows it.

I prefer the option of health scaling so players can play on their own level. Of course, this means that you're not playing the real game, but it's there for fun. I have also added the Polar Star option, and began numbering versions so everyone knows which they have.

---

Tomorrow I will add the deleveling powerup at the start of each level (except three, five, others which can't use it). It uses the <ZAM function, setting all weapons to level 1.

---

Just edited Five (added one needed block) and the Polar Star (as an option for fun/weaker players).

94 corridors in one go. Man I got a lot of work to do, I'm still failing at 4 and 5 hahah

For purposes of maybe giving feedback, I could record myself playing through parts, trying my best to go fast.

That's pretty cool, I'm on Trillian (MSN) at softmints@jwebireland.com if you want to talk tomorrow. If you're having difficulty in some areas, I can upload recordings of how to do things.

I actually have a perfect recording of Five, but I can't get it into a decent format!

lol... Allrite if you say so, but then you've got a special new version of Sue's that one I downloaded allows me to add 100 Corridors and setting the bosses for every of them...

But without time ;P

Not really mate, just open the game with a hex editor and edit:

0x014BCF - Current Health at start
0x014BD8 - Max Health at start

Anyhow you can edit everything there are no limitations...

Not right, because if you're playing with 25 health for example Polar Star is harder to play with but not if you play with 3 Health...


Also you should upgrade your doukutsu version to 1.0.0.6....

I was thinking about making a new mod for a while, either doing pretty much what you are doing now, or just redoing many areas throughout the whole game to up the difficulty a lot. Now that you are making the gauntlet style thing I was thinking about, I guess I'll just use my other idea. :p

Can someone please explain Gauntlet? I don't understand it. Trillian combines all the main chat programs - I have AIM as well under the same address. I've never used it before, but I doubt it'll be hard.

Because of your outdated version, all hacking stuff posted here is for version 1.0.0.6, thats why I said you should upgrade it, and im sure that new Sue's wont have any support for the old version, because its too much different from the new version :/

I am guessing you have not even managed level 1. Are you the type of player who likes Cave Story for Yamashita Farm? Is that your favorite level? The Graveyard is a challenge?

Ah, I'm only kidding with you. But this is for the better players, and I happen to be someone who adores a challenge. If it's not your type, that's a shame, but no mods I make will suit you at all.
