Sean O'Connor's Games

Here's some missions... 1) Disrupt Global Games... London 2012, eat your heart out! You can get the file from here , you lucky so-and-so. 2) Turrets... dada, him go "Boom!" It is here , point your browser at it and click "Save". 3) Evacuating Hostiles... it might be against the Geneva Convention, bu...

It certainly wouldn't be impossible, the provided ship, and missile, designs appear to be all held in the designs.dat file. The ships have the same format for assets as do the single .shp files as far as I can tell. So changing what assets the ships have, and thus their cost could be relatively simp...

The Last Starfighter... "defend the Frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan armada"!

If you are just wanting to run it, please simply download it... from the link in the first post and here also - it's the same thing... and here too... they're all the same... just save it to your disk, unpack it, put it where your .shp files are and run it... job's a good 'un. Let me know if you hav...

I agree with the concept of having missile load-out defaults that can be changed as well. I am a great fan of Daycorns but like to have a row of 'heavies' for tight situations. Currently, for different mission types, I do find myself 'designing' a few variants of my favourite hull - in Fighter, Bomb...

Thanks for that... my eyes were going a bit funny staring at screens of hex, so it seemed worth the effort to bite the bullet and program the utility.

Critical Mass 5 - XML defined ships..? Surely not!

I have created a small utility to edit the assets of .shp files here.

Here is the source... nothing overly complex, and I tried to add some meaningful comments. unit MainForm; interface uses Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs, FindFile, StdCtrls, ExtCtrls, ComCtrls, ShellAPI; const ShipExtension = '.shp'; { As we have a ...

Following on from an earlier posting of mine where we discussed ship design limitations and the potential for breaking the Critical Mass game rules to either test ships or give oneself an advantage over the in-built ships, I received a few enquiries regarding how to go about this .shp file editing.....

My feeling on ranking of feature requests was more so that Sean, and users, could see for sure what people were asking for in the new versions - to formalise it a little bit - just the requests side. Just like any development shop - we, the users, understand that there can be no commitment to delive...

I would like to completely echo the words in the previous posting. If you're a newcomer to Critical Mass, then you should be challenged enough with the stock ships and ones you can build yourselves. If it's considerely too hard for you - well, strive to become better. Remember that I started investi...

A fleet of Impregnators would be pretty scary coming at you.

This guy is the ship of lurrve... the Impregnator has many great qualities and is available for download by clicking on his name. 1. Fully loaded with two rows of fast little homing missiles. 2. Shielding at the front and sides - only where it's needed. 3. Loads of thrust - allows him to push on thr...

Spike is a right toughie, he prefers to do his fighting in the alleyway behind the local pub. He's often getting cuts and bruises so he makes sure he's got a Robot Repairer ready to get to work on him, doesn't mean he'll leave the battlefield for a breather though - he's confident in his eyesight. ...

Eye-Eye Sir and Eye-Eye Siree can both be downloaded by clicking on their names... they are like seeing ships for the blind, they lead the way from a great distance... they're truly excellent resources for finding that elusive Freighter or Coloniser.
