So, probably a stupid question, but how do I download this update without losing my save data?

But, do I have to delete the old version first?

Hang on. What does "taking a step back" mean? I'm currently brainstorming and trying to script a healer character who I think would go great with this mod in co-op. I hope GoldenShine will at least be willing to make a compatibility update when I'm ready...

Oh shit! I remember seeing someone in a video pull off what they called a "mockball" (Speed boosting, then roll into a ball as you land on the closest edge while holding forward), but honestly that looks a lot more doable. Thanks!
also, how do i fix the hud it's been skewed slightly every time i use it; score's cut off; hp is where score should be; etc. Is it an Android-specific issue?

All your saves is here.
And if you delete addon,
Saves they will stay there!
This isn't a major issue but for some reason all the textboxes and things that happen in single player story mode just don't show up for me, is there some setting or something?

So, small issue with the update, regarding Power Grip. The second I get the item, it clings to things at random, and I have to manually start over from the pause menu. It's gotten to a point where I just delete it once I get access to my ship.

man, now that ive played deat- AHEM, match mode and hunters mode a bit more, it would be cool to have the option to disable lock on in competitive modes, since i find that most of the people who use lock on in d- MATCH mode are those who play in first person with mice and keyboards and its just kind of annoying to get constantly locked onto and aimbotted when im just trying to get super missiles.

Gold, if it would be okay would you allow us to atleast maintain the mod for you in the future? Just to make sure all can keep enjoying it for years to come.

If I'm not down to do it myself or I'm not around anymore, that's fine! Do try to contact me first, though. I'm just burned out on Samus, mostly because I keep having to return earlier than intended, and all the bugs are very individualized to each player's saves, settings, and even their system.
Being able to take players' Lock-On ability gives the impression it's a cheat.
I see it as a main game mechanic, like in the Prime games. A mechanic that bridges skill gaps decently, lowers the impact of lag, gives players without mouse a way to fight, and keeps gameplay consistent with Single Player. With no hitscan projectiles and fast players, locking on isn't free damage. Leading shots or aiming at walls/floors for the explosion radius is really important for higher level play.
Can't say I've recreated that one before. Could you show a GIF, maybe? It's supposed to only grab onto nearby ledges if you hold forwards or press jump near one.
The dialogue and textboxes don't reappear on complete/replay save files. You'll want to pick a fresh slot.

Okay, I'll be in touch when I have more details ironed out. I mainly know that I want Annie to heal Samus at a decently fast rate (given the way Samus's HP scales and she takes damage, Samus wouldn't get much out of 1 HP per 1 or 2 seconds), but nowhere near as fast as Samus' own Crystal Flash. Also that Annie should be able to restock Samus's Hyper Beam energy, since she's intended to be able to refill special energy-based resource meters like Almost Super Sonic's stats or Modern Sonic's boost (I considered refilling missiles, Super Missiles, and Power Bombs as well, but I'm not sure how "energy-based" the ammunition for that is in the Metroid series proper, whereas the way you set up the Hyper Beam makes it clearly tied to the main life energy system of the Power Suit). With that said, there should be some safeguard in place to dramatically slow down the Hyper Beam fill rate during the special version of the Brak Eggman fight, to avoid letting players bypass the Hyper Beam drain event you set up (which I presume is there to make the fight more climactic). The Hyper Beam recharge rate can return to normal when the pinch phase starts and Hyper Beam energy starts filling the arena anyways.

Hey, I just got the Power Grip and ran into the same problem with getting stuck on ledges. Oh yeah, and what's up with the Super Missiles not being able to break strong blocks anymore?
I also ended up losing the ability to fire, double jump, or Morph Ball completely after trying out a beam combo...

@Golden Shine So, I've been busy the past few weeks writing code for Annie, and I figured that I'd try accounting for Samus within my own code. Here's my healing script so far... how would it work for Samus?
Annie's Healing Script:
//Healing (Code to heal other players (increase Ring count or HP))
addHook("PlayerThink", function(player)
if player.mo and player.mo.valid then -- check if the player object exists
if player.mo.skin ~= "annie_belnades" then -- is the player NOT playing as Annie?
return -- stop running hook for this player
end
/* if player.custom1down == nil then
player.custom1down = 0
end
if player.cmd.buttons & BT_CUSTOM1 > 0 then
player.custom1down = $1 + 1
else
player.custom1down = 0
end*/
if player.custom1down > 1 --if custom1 is being pressed
and player.custom3down == 0 --and custom3 is not being pressed
and player.mo.energy >= 5*FRACUNIT/2 then
if not (leveltime%TICRATE) then
if player.mo.energy >= 5*FRACUNIT/2 then
player.mo.energy = $ - 5*FRACUNIT/2
S_StartSoundAtVolume(player.mo, sfx_heal, 90, nil)
if not (player.custom1down%(TICRATE*2)) then --Every 2 seconds
if P_LookForPlayers(player.mo, 20*FRACUNIT, true, false) == true then --Is there another player within 20 fracunits of Annie?
if target.player and target.player.valid and target.player.playerstate ~= PST_DEAD and target.player.mo ~= actor.player.mo then --Is there a live player OTHER THAN Annie herself within 20 fracunits of her?
if G_CoopGametype() == true
or G_GametypeHasTeams() == true and actor.player.ctfteam == target.player.ctfteam then --Is that other player on the same team as Annie?
if P_CheckSight(actor.player.mo, target.player) == true then --Can Annie actually see the other player?
if target.player.skin == ("basesamus" or "samus") then --Healing Samus Aran
target.player.sam_energy = $ + 15
end
else
P_GivePlayerRings(target.player, 1) --Heal the other player
end
end
end
end
else
P_GivePlayerRings(player, 1) --If Annie can't find another player to heal, she heals herself
end
else
return
end
end
end
end
end)
//Accelerated Healing (Code to double the speed of healing)
addHook("PlayerThink", function(player)
if player.mo and player.mo.valid then
if player.mo.skin ~= "annie_belnades" then
return
end
/* if player.custom1down == nil then
player.custom1down = 0

if player.custom1down > 1 -- if custom1 is currently being pressed
and player.custom3down > 1 -- and custom3 is also currently being pressed
and player.custom1down > player.custom3down -- and custom1 was pressed *before* custom3
and player.mo.energy >= 5*FRACUNIT then -- and the player has energy
if not (leveltime%TICRATE) then
if player.mo.energy >= 5*FRACUNIT then
player.mo.energy = $ - 5*FRACUNIT
S_StartSoundAtVolume(player.mo, sfx_heal, 120, nil)
if not (player.custom1down%TICRATE) then --Every second
if P_LookForPlayers(player.mo, 20*FRACUNIT, true, false) == true then --Is there another player within 20 fracunits of Annie?
if target.player and target.player.valid and target.player.playerstate ~= PST_DEAD and target.player.mo ~= actor.player.mo then --Is there a live player OTHER THAN Annie herself within 20 fracunits of her?

end

P_GivePlayerRings(target.player, 2) --Heal the other player
end
end
end
end
else

end

return
end
end
end

Yep, I had that issue while trying to test whether or not Annie could survive the Phazon.

Could you show me a GIF of the elevator not going down with the game's F9 recording? I can't seem to recreate it. You're using SRB2 2.2.11, right?
Extra rings Samus gets are converted directly into health, with 1 ring being 1 energy. So you can just give her rings like everyone else.

Uh, no, I was using 2.2.10. As for just directly giving Samus rings, I feel like that would be too slow.

Why so? You're not dropping rings, you're giving them directly, right? So you could grant 30 rings instead of 2.Uh, no, I was using 2.2.10. As for just directly giving Samus rings, I feel like that would be too slow.
