But doesn't that force you to always face forward? Or is there another command that does that?
It does lock your facing drirection, but I am going to use it mainly for puzzles in space (ie. fly across an arena-looking place with random pipes having been ruptured, forcing you into jagged metal spikes of doom). But, that is just one possible use.

Also, I think there is a TSC command that changes the movement to Zero-G, but I still have to confirm this.

Check the boss level where you fight the mecha-fish.

Yeah the TSC guide says the command at the start of Ironhead is <UNIxxxx or something like that.

Well, I decided to take a break from making the Observatory Platform to start on some of the fussier but required image mods. I'm going to leave the enemies till last, so I've basically changed a few items and the weapons.

p30896-0-armsimage.jpg


On an update to the weapon list from earlier, the weapons are now as follows:

Snake > Phase-Shifting Wave Cannon
Polar Star > Basic Matrix (New)
Fireball > Thermal Matrix (New)
Machine Gun > Chainlaser
Missile Launcher > IGR Cannon
Bubbler > Bubble Matrix (New-ish)
Blade > Haxxors Blade Of Haxxoring (New, but you have to cheat to get this.)
Upgraded Missile Launcher > Self-Accelerating IGR Cannon
Nemesis > What Happens When DB Gets Duct Tape (Not a joke.)
Spur > Hyper Matrix (New)

If I'm not mistaken, the way I'm going to set this up, you can't have more than... 4 weapons at one time, and you can get as few as 1.

The tree (so I'm going to call it) is:
Basic Matrix < Thermal Matrix OR Bubble Matrix OR Hyper Matrix
AND
IGR Cannon < Self-Accelerating IGR Cannon
AND
Phase-Shifting Wave Cannon
AND
Chainlaser
OR
All Of The Above + Duct Tape (It's an item!) > What Happens When DB Gets Duct Tape

> Means Trade
< Mean Upgrade
AND Means "you can also get"
OR Means "you trade or upgrade, so you can't have both (or all)"

As to where the weapons are, you find the IGR first, but that is all I'm going to say.

OMG! Invisimissiles!

Oh, I Get It...

*Pics may take awhile; slow connection on my end.

On a side note, the Zero-G command also locks facing direction AND forces the Air Tank to be equipped (Even if you don't have it!)

The next job on my to-do list is to re-draw the sprite for MyChar, rendering the second one as... Well, that's for later. Though it may make navigation hard~

"You'd better watch where you're going~"

lol
I love how this has sort of become a mod advice topic, too.


This would have been posted 2 hours ago, but my connection epically failed.

Interesting idea... maybe you could replace the missile sprite with a sort of faint "puff" or "swoosh" instead of just blankness to indicate fast-moving air? Just so we can actually see where we're shooting and stuff?

I might do that...
I personally find the jettrack of the shot is fine for my aiming purposes.
But, I may add a little something to make it work...
Something like this:

Alright, rather than post an impossible screenshot (I keep making it look like a little arrow or something...), I'll let you try the Invisimissiles on an early demo.

Follow the links~

Warning: site is a little underfurbished...

https://andwhyisit.bugsiteguardian.com/cstsf/archive1/p30903-0-bkspace.jpg

Set it on "Throne Room Style." It looks really cool, actually.
Nice work, Lyger.
And, yes, it does look good on Throne Room Style.
Thank you kindly, you've saved me...
4 hours of work.
*Adds Lyger to credit sign*
Now to use that for the Observatory Platform...
And maybe Shuttle Bay 1~

Time for the first snaggle:
-_-
Alright, you know in the Ironhead fight, if you take no damage, you get the alien medal?
Well, I'm stumped.
I've narrowed it down to either:
A certain flag: flag 836
Or
Some TSC command I can't seem to find...
Grrr...

EDIT: Was looking at the old TSC sheet.
Oops.
lol

So progress has pretty much stalled due to:
A: Swamped with class work.
B: Massive illness bout.
C: Lazyness.
D: All of the above.

Incorrect.
The real answer is E and F: Total Annihilation and Virus issues.

On a random note...
Has anyone tried Spring?
