The new DCME map editor is not bad but I still prefer the original SSME. Link:https://www.mediafire.com/?9iz9519knpjrapz Also put it on as forum attachment I patched the EXE a little with a Hex-Editor and OllyDebgger. Now it's able to load illegal tiles (don't think it can save them correctly though). It also bypasses the 256 (8 bit color) palette restriction, although I haven't figured out how to fix this better now the tileset loads up as a blank black tileset. If anyone wants to fix it be my guest I gave up. Here is the log of what I did SSMEpatched.zip

Originally written as Alpha Core by UDP( in 2006 I believe) . UDP gave me the core with source and pretty much gave me all rights to it with the condition that I give the credit for the core to him. I think it is a great core and have used it for many projects(none of which i have finished). I will set up simple tutorials as soon as I get time. Download and use Microsoft Visual Studio. You will also need .NET framework. KUDOS to UDP, I love this core. Thnx bud. a very barebone package: http://www.subspace....38-battle-core/ I will add more stuffs later. I don't see this being very active, but I will refer anyone wanting to make bots to come here. Docum…

I have created a very useful tool to migrate a server from Subgame to ASSS. You give it a folder with all the lvl, cfg and lvz files of your subgame server, and an empty folder that would be your ASSS root, and it will copy the files properly in a ASSS folder structure. It is not recommended to specify a real ASSS root folder, since some of your files could be overwritten. Use an empty folder, and the program will create folders named 'arenas' and 'maps' in it. 'arenas' will contain all of your arenas, while 'maps' will contain all the lvz files. It is coded in C# with Visual Studio 2010. The source is available. Example of a arena.conf file created: #include…

I was reading about pixel artists on wikipedia and encountered a few interesting algorithms for upscaling pixel art (using scale2x algorithm) and rotating (which can be useful for applying on a ship set). The rotating algorithm is RotSprite, which apparently outperforms the most common tools like photoshop because it's focused on pixeled graphics, you can find more info and a tool here: http://info.sonicretro.org/RotSprite

As a project i have decided to work on, i am thinking about making a server.cfg gui. Now, i think editing the gui via the command prompt would be the easiest to program. using a key for selections. Moving via: 1. Directory settings 2. Warbird settings ... 9. Shark settings N. Next B. Back ,. Previous menu. Please enter a selection: Or doing a gui interface with buttons to navigate and text boxes. I am thinking since i havent done java in a while, that the command prompt / terminal version would be easiest, however i am not completely sure. I would like some help doing this so i can get back into the pace of things, so if you would like to help, let me know !

If you are tired of finding a copy of DebuildLevel.exe,copying it, then typing the name of your lvz file, here's a quick registry fix for you: Download the attached file, open it with notepad and you should see the following: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.LVZ] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.LVZ\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.LVZ\shell\Debuild LVZ] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.LVZ\shell\Debuild LVZ\command] @="\"D:\\Jeux\\Continuum Dev\\Programs\\DeBuildLevel.exe\" \"%1\"" Change D:\\Jeux\\Continuum Dev\\Programs\\DeBuildLevel.exe\ to wherever your debuildlevel.exe is; pay attention to the " and \, don't change any, and the folder separators must be double…

I've started putting up some of the information I gathered about SubSpace and Continuum over the years on my website. There are also some programs (with source) that could be used for reversing if anyone is still looking into the details of the game. For those who would find these sorts of documents/tools useful: please be responsible and use whatever I provide for developing useful applications (e.g. arena bots, clients, etc.), not cheats or hacks. http://sharvil.nanavati.net/projects/subspace/ If there are any omissions, errors, or requests for further information, please email me (click my name at the bottom of any page). -Snrrrub

[Note: scroll way way down for downloads] Firstly, I must say this was all Overburn's work, no credit to me I am simply copying and pasting what he posted in the TW forums a few months ago. Everything between the underscores is written by Overburn. I am sure many of you will find this is a pretty important and potentially revolutionary find: __________________________ ...I discovered more usless but cool crap for my map editor (which died a month ago, but Im bringing it back). well, this time I discoved "extra" tiles in continuum, most of them are usless but a few are cool. yea, I'll just describe them now... (Note: when I say "Items", I mean decoys, bullets,…

I was going to add this as a feature to the LVZ Editor that I am sparsely working on, but I figured I would tell you about it before I forget The News reader on the client is actually a RichTextBox control which means is supports RTF encoding. Just create a RTF file and name it News.txt.

This is the updated version of LogMaker. Read the readme.txt for instructions. Also, you will have to rename your pre-release Continuum0xxprx.exe to Continuum.exe for this to work with it. Download from SubspaceDownloads.com
