Re: Interesting "stare and approach" AI for certain Red Hulk

Well the .RDL file names sure don't seem to parallel the in-game names of the levels. And I see .RDL files spread across many different folders.

Re: Interesting "stare and approach" AI for certain Red Hulk

I'm at a total loss as to how to use the programs to analyze levels, item locations, and the AIs of specific robot specimens.

And here's your solution. These numbers are from the level editor and so they're absolute. Megas: Level 10 - 1 Level 11 - 1 Level 12 - 3 ........ Are you SURE about level 12? I've played it through and through and found only 4 Smarts and 2 Megas. One of the Megas is in the Yellow Key room, the ...

Finding all the smart and mega missiles in D1

I've recently gotten curious as to whether I'm missing very many smart and mega missiles as I work through the middle and late parts of the game. Beginning at level 17 I made a tally of all the missiles I found, and as of level 22 here's what I have: SMART MISSILES 4 in level 17 3 in level 18 4 in ...
