= Metroid Vanguard = Samus Aran in SRB2 [v1.4]

= Metroid Vanguard = Samus Aran in SRB2 [v1.4] v1.4

I was reminded my old google documentation of Samus' custom mapthings number isn't up to date, so here's the current one!

Missile Tank = 3841
Energy Tank = 3842
Super Missile Tank = 3843
Power Bomb Tank = 3844

POWER UPS:
Morph Ball Bombs = 3831
Hi Jump/Spring Ball = 3849
Boost Ball = 3845
Spider Ball = 3974

Speed Booster = 3846
Screw Attack = 3848
Space Jump = 3850
Power Grip = 3862

Varia Suit = 3867
Gravity Suit = 3847

BEAMS: (Get one 2x for the Beam Combo)
Charge Beam = 3851
Spazer Beam = 3852
Wave Beam = 3853
Ice Beam = 3854
Plasma Beam = 3855

AMMO/HEALTH:
Missile Ammo = 3861
Missile+ Ammo = 3839
Super Missile Ammo = 3860
Power Bomb Ammo = 3859
Small Energy (Purple) = 3858
Medium Energy (Red) = 3857
Large Energy (Yellow) = 3856

BONUS ITEMS:
Auto Tank = 2165
Ammo Digitizer = 2166
Scan Visor = 2172

DSZ4:
Sanus' Gunship = 2171
Larva Metroid(In Egg) = 2170
Larva Metroid = 2160
Metroid = 2161
Super Metroid (Unfinished!) = 2162
Omega Metroid = 2163
Omega Metroid Shell = 2164
Grounded flames = 2158

ACZ4:
Dark Samus Stalker = 2168
Dark Samus (Boss) = 2169

For Phazon:
Make a water FOF calling action 443 with "PZPAIN". Phazon texture name is PHAZ01. Samus gains immunity if she has player.sam_phazonsuit, but this isn't tracked by the game.​

The main post has received this updated list too!

Wow did not need to see that picture, but okay...
 
I swear I was able to actually damage Metroids and the bosses this mod introduces in older versions of either the game or this mod, what...happened to that? Metroids are impervious to any form of attack made by non-Samus characters now.

As a non-Samus character, you want to lure them into the generator's cooling jets once activated. Once frozen, the Metroids can be killed. Maybe you played as Dirk the first time, who has inherent ice powers?

Hold up. One of my characters is supposed to have an ice attack. How would I give a specific attack ice properties?

(Also, what generator, and what cooling jets?)
 
Oh the generator at the end of the tunnel? That's so hard to get to without being able to kill anything.
But you're right, I was playing as Dirk the first time, though I don't think his jump has any ice properties in and of itself? Come to think of it he shouldn't have any attacks that do, not in any released version...though the version it look like we won't get now...seems to have teased that.
Maybe his jump does have an ice property though! I have not checked lol

Yeah, Metroids become the most terrifying moment in the campaign if you didn't obtain an Ice Beam. Samus herself comments in DSZ it's suicidal if she doesn't have it. It'll be a frantic dash for your life to the generator. You press the button at the computer to unlock the forcefield and either snatch a free Ice Beam, or use the generator's Ice Jets if you're doing a low% run/aren't Samus.

As a tip, charged Wave Shots, Super Missiles and Morph Ball bombs stun Metroids temporarily. Plus, the Boost Ball lets you quick-escape.

It's in the middle of the lit room right before DSZ4's big boss. The Ice Beam item is sitting right on top of it. When it's unlocked, the generator starts spouting ice jets from the vents that can freeze Metroids.

(Also, if you do player.mo.icejet = true, that should work. It won't disable on it's down, though, so disable it manually when you're not your character anymore.)

Nah, I coded Dirk's jump collision to be able to do that since he didn't have a dedicated Ice "Attack" perse at the time.
 
So, I've downloaded the lastest version of Metroid Vanguard. And because of the monitor I have, I have to set it to an off resolution. The problem being here is that Samus' beam charge sprites for some reason do not show on some of these resolution scales. And this happens with every beam, btw.

Not sure what causes it, but hopefully this gets fixed.
The Resolution scales affected are: 1440x900, 1280x720, 1152x864, 1366x768, 1600x900, 1024x768, & 800x600.

Ahh, that's my bad...it came from my lack of awareness when I started on this as one of my first Lua projects. For HUD elements you need to work with SRB2's different resolutions in mind from the getgo. When I first worked on Samus in SRB2 2.1 I had no idea HUD elements would get so scattered in every resolution.

If it's no issue, I suggest trying 1920x1080 (the one I designed Samus for) or one of SRB2's green resolutions(Which I hotpatched compatibility in once I figured out every other resolution but 1920x1080 broke) when playing as Samus. I'm not saying an all-resolutions hotpatch won't happen at all, but it might not be for a while at least.

Anyone got any other issues for me? Other than this resolutions issue, I'd like to fix the ancient shots-getting-caught-on-corners annoyance in a hotfix someday.
