Yes, I did say instead, not 'as well'; I didn't know if you wanted both to shoot shots like this, or just one. Either way, this patch will allow both sprites to shoot bullets like that, as well as making sure the Meep can fall without shooting. (Sadly, it will still fall slowly.)

First up, you will need this file in your mod directory: http://levellord.toxicsheep.com/DATA.CK3 It contains most of the patches, and is 'tidier' I think than having all those lines I wrote out for the last patch. (And then some!)

Then you can put this in your patch file:

Code: Select all

#Sprite patch file for Keen v1.31

%ext ck3

#The new behaviors:
%patch $153A $C3     #Create space for behaviors
%patchfile 5435 DATA.CK3

#Make sprites use this data:
%patch $456D $3B $15 #Make Vortimom bullet use new behavior
%patch $4877 $BB $15 #Make Meep bullet use new behavior
%patch $47B6 $3B $16 #Falling Meep uses new behavior

#Vortimom's shot:
%patch $1552 $39 $00 #left sprite
%patch $154A $3B $00 #Right sprite
%patch $155C $01 $00 #Frames used -1
%patch $1570 $03 $00 #Vanish frequency

#Meep shot:
%patch $15D2 $80 $00 #left sprite
%patch $15CA $7E $00 #Right sprite
%patch $15DC $01 $00 #Frames used -1
%patch $15F0 $03 $00 #Vanish frequency

#Meep falling:
%patch $1652 $76 $00 #Left sprite
%patch $164A $78 $00 #Right sprite

%end

This should solve all your problems. (The side effect being that you cannot configure the Joystick in-mod.) (It is possible you may not be able to download the required file, net2ftp has been a bit buggy today.)

Enjoy!

Perfect!
I got it working now as I wanted to. The only thing that spoiles the flawless appearance is that the Bolt of my Monster always stands out right of it, no matter which way it faces. So if it's walking right it looks perfect, if it walks left, well it looks a bit as it shoots out of its back.
I don't think that can be changed, so I'll just try to create levels so they most of the time face right.

Oh, and there is still one small patch I need for this monster:
The shot height should be lower, but I hope that could be done easily like the Keen 2 shot height patches.

Thanks a lot, you did a great job.

Done! (With several others. ) Check out viewtopic.php?p=11821#11821

And also, I do apologize to Xky, it seems your original work and ideas were correct, I was too short sighted to see that. Good job!
