Move his head forward a bit (head offsets)

And improve the weapons, more waves in the wave gun, etc.

...Jetpack: rather than an actual jetpack, have a short, strong burst, to simulate Samus's space jump....

How do you do that?
Silver wrote:
...Attachables: Maybe Shoulder pads. If posible, make the helmet an attachable and have Samus's head under it...

ill try once i have a chance
Silver wrote:
... If you really want a challenge, make the entire suit out of attachables, and have Zero-Suit Samus underneath ...

WHOA! :shock: Slow down!

Silver wrote:
Other Suits: ...Once this one's done, I encourage you to make the other variants of Samus's suit. The gravity suit would be fairly easy (higher mass, better jumpjets, no/less fall damage) but some of the others might be harder to make....

There is no purple in the palette! :(
(Actually,just REALLY dark shades of it which i used to make missile tips, and im not sure if it even IS purple.)

you're asking too much of me! expect probably the shoulder pads and short,strong burst jetpack.

everything else is way out of my league

Cunning bastard, I knew progress like that is really rare!

Freaking references, well at least they contribute to initial sprite quality, but I wonder about sprites using no reference.

Are references bad then? :?

I could do that!

more waves in the wave gun?
I don't think you could make the shots more wavy

Alright I'm done.

Can't figure out how to replicate the Space Jumps? Take a look at this code from Pyro.ini:
Code:
AddEffect = AEmitter
   PresetName = Jetpack
   Mass = 0.0001
   HitsMOs = 0
   GetsHitByMOs = 0
   SpriteFile = ContentFile
      FilePath = Base.rte/Actors/Clones/Jetpack.bmp
   FrameCount = 1
   SpriteOffset = Vector
      X = -3
      Y = -12
   AtomGroup = AtomGroup
      AutoGenerate = 1
      Material = Material
         CopyOf = Military Stuff
      Resolution = 2
      Depth = 5
   DeepGroup = AtomGroup
      AutoGenerate = 1
      Material = Material
         CopyOf = Military Stuff
      Resolution = 3
      Depth = 5
   DeepCheck = 0
   JointStrength = 10000
   JointStiffness = 1
   DrawAfterParent = 0
   AddEmission = Emission
      EmittedParticle = MOPixel
         CopyOf = Jetpack Blast 1
      Spread = 0.1
      MaxVelocity = 24
      MinVelocity = 12
   AddEmission = Emission
      EmittedParticle = MOPixel
         CopyOf = Jetpack Blast 2
      Spread = 0.15
      MaxVelocity = 24
      MinVelocity = 12
   EmissionSound = Sound
      AddSample = ContentFile
         FilePath = Base.rte/Effects/Pyro/Jet.wav
      LoopSetting = -1 // Means loop infinitely until stopped
   BurstSound = Sound
      AddSample = ContentFile
         FilePath = Base.rte/Effects/Pyro/JetStart.wav
   EndSound = Sound
      AddSample = ContentFile
         FilePath = Base.rte/Effects/Pyro/JetEnd.wav
   EmissionEnabled = 1
   EmissionsIgnoreThis = 1
   ParticlesPerMinute = 6000 // Self-explanatory. More particles means more thrust during normal jetpack use.
   BurstSize = 15 // Bigger burst size gives more thrust when first hitting the jetpack key.
   BurstScale = 1 // Don't know what this one does, but playing with it might do something cool.
   BurstTriggered = 1 // 1 to allow bursts, 0 for no bursts.
   BurstSpacing = 1000 // Added to demonstrate. Minimum amount of time between bursts, in milliseconds.
   EmissionDamage = 0
   Flash = Attachable
      CopyOf = Muzzle Flash Pistol
   FlashOnlyOnBurst = 0

The variables I left comments beside are the ones that affect the way your actor jumps. If you want single, strong jumps with no jetpack use in between, increase BurstSize, set ParticlesPerMinute to 0, and tweak BurstSpacing to set how often you can jump. Just copy this code into wherever you define the actor's parts, change the name of the jetpack in both this code and your main AddActor code, and you're golden. Also note the the AddActor code contains the length of time that you can use the jetpack continuously, but that's irrelevant if you only want jumps.

I'll experiment with that, thanks! :grin:

(I just got back from school right now.)

EDIT: I dont like that idea, maybe you could mess with it yourself?
if you do mess with it yourself PM me your results.

thanks anyway for the idea! :grin:

What, exactly, is the problem? Was I too vague to be helpful, or do you just want to keep the jetpack as is?

As is.
i tried a few settings and samus either shoots up into the sky or does a weird dance.

Moderation. Adjust the variables very slightly: jump packs can be tricky, believe me, I know, but it'll be worth it in the end.

In other news, i may be able to fix up your head sprite if you want.

The head sprite is absolutely horrid.

It's like she's looking sideways.
