Satellite Orb v1 [PC][Pics][Beta] Remember Forgotten Worlds? :)

[CaptainSnarf]

Remember Forgotten Worlds? Gradius? R-Type? These games featured a cool companion orbital satellite that would fire extra bullets. I wanted to bring that kind of powerup to Unreal.





There are four mutators included. One changes all the powerups like UDamage, berserk, SuperHealth, etc into Satellite Orbs. The other three mutators give each player a different satellite orb color.

Red Satellite Orb - shoots darkwalker gunner bolts
Blue Satellite Orb - shoots stinger shards
Green Satellite Orb - shoots link plasma

Enjoy!

p.s. I tried cooking for PS3, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure why. Hopefully I can figure it out soon.

Looks very cool indeed. I will test this out once I get the time

[Miko]

This could be fun. i have a feeling the game is going to get spamy really quick with all these orbs flying around.

[OCK]

Looks cool. Any chance of a PS3 version? Thanks in advance.

[BuffyTheSlayer]

fun to shoot weapon now !
thank you

[ClockworkJB]

Very cool mut, lots of fun no matter the player count or map. One gripe I have though is the fact that it only shoots when you fire your weapon, which leads to some weapons, such as the RL being useless, while the stinger and LG are insanely overpowered. What would be better is if the orb automatically fired on the nearest enemy at a set rate.
Also, the kill messages are the same as the ones from the weapons they originated from, leading to confusion.
Lastly, a mutator which gives each player a random orb when they spawn, instead of a set colour, would be nice.

HOOOOOLY CRAP!

I LOVE Gradius! By Golly!

Hope to see this on the PS3, but for now. PC!

[NightEye]

This would go so well with the RPG Mod......

[HO0815XX]

Very funny ! I've testet this in combination with StealthArena and 15 Bots on BathroomIII and, of course, on FlatWars !

[Vlach]

This mod looks awesome. I'm interested in a PS3 cook myself. What are the chances?

[Karmapolice]

This would go so well with the RPG Mod......

I agree with that. It's like having a familiar or a summoned minion.

[Nagis]

Sorry for the major bump. But I think I have an Idea on a PS3 version of this mod.

You know how when you pick up an orb on Warfare? Well, how about modifying that script to where it shoots different types of weapons? Also, Is it possible to edit the colors of the orbs? If so, then it might be more possible to make this into a PS3 port version.

Hope this isnt bothering anyone, im just tossing out ideas.

Hmm. The Orbs are actually the 'death ball' from the Scavenger vehicle. The one thing that *is* custom is the green orb. The red and blue ones are built in. To make green, you can't just change the color=(R=0,G=255,B=0). That doesn't work. Instead you have to make a new particle system. Maybe those don't cook correctly. Who knows. I haven't worked on it much. I've been busy with the vehicle replacement mutator and the vehicle mods.

I like the idea of a powered up Orb for Warfare. I'll look into it.

Captain, I sent you a link to the PS3 i cooked, partially works....

[TheDragonzord]

partially?

[GenobeeX]

I would like to see a PS3 version too, captain smurf always makes the neatist maps and weapons.

[CVROY]

what happens when you get into vehicles, do the orbs vanish or follow you???

[euchreplayer23]

partially?

the orbs appear and shoot stuff, but its not link gun fire etc....The three orbs shoot just small little bullets....in PS3 version I cooked...



Q: what happens when you get into vehicles, do the orbs vanish or follow you???
A: On a hoverboard they disappear....haven't tested it throughly yet...in the PS3 version

[CaptainSnarf]

I uploaded your PS3 version to my filefront page. Thanks euchreplayer23! You rock!

When you get into a vehicle, the orbs vanish completely, this includes the hoverboard which is also technically a vehicle. I wanted the orbs to stay but I haven't figured that part out yet

I haven't worked on the mutator since it was released but I haven't given up on it. I've just been busy learning the editor

[Nagis]

So the PS3 version works? Im pretty sure with the right tweaking, it would be able to fire correctly if it "Partially" works. Keep going at it!

Honestly, you are a complete idiot. You make another major bump, and the link isn't even dead. It goes to his profile page. Where you can download all his files.

[AndrewofDoom]

And while this topic is bumped, I'll say one thing...

YAY FOR OPTIONS (or multiples if you prefer that). I was a big fan of Gradius, and would like to see this be developed more. : )

[tmohrsy]

I'd like to give this a go, however the link is dead.
Does anybody still have this?

[LordBret]

+ 1 for me. Somebody could redo a valid link please.

[LordBret]

I contacted CaptainSnarf and he answered me this:

That thing disappeared from the net a few years ago when filefront went down. It's no longer available in a cooked form, however I believe it still exists in the source, but you'd have to cook it yourself to use it.

Thanks

Here are files source of the mutator Satellite Orb v1 : http://www.mediafire.com/?f1ddo7u63zdqrdl

But I do not possess the knowledge to be able to used it. Please, if somebody has knowledge to make functional these files source, you can help us...

[LordBret]

Up !

Please........
