Uploaded new mod Star Castle to Xelerus.

This adds elements from the classic 1980 arcade game Star Castle to Transcendence. Among them include two retro 2D ships and items used by them, including a device that erects triple energy ring barriers to absorb incoming shots or repel ships. The barrier device is rare, but to give you a chance at finding one, a bonus boss (usually) lurks somewhere between Rigel and Sanctuary, carrying a valuable prize! Can you find and defeat the Star Castle Boss?

Updated the following:
120 Facings Ships, part 1 only: Replaced complete Iocrym override with image only override.
Hints Shown: Updated to 1.3, to reflect recent changes to Sisters of Domina and Dvalin in Rasiermesser station.
Playerships Drones v6+: Fixed some bugs, including one that prevented looting from drones.
PSD6+ Xelerus mod patches: Added support for 120 facings Lindworm, Sapphire/X, Star Castle ships, and Vulture. Updated AE Ships, Agauptera, and Stalwart.
Wizard Auton: Auton cannot equip ammo it cannot use.

[PM]

Updated PSD6+ Xelerus mod patches, featuring tweaks to Lindworm, Vulture, Wyvera warrior, and modified Starbridge.

Update: And reuploaded PSD6+ Xelerus mod patches again to add the Vesta and fix minor PSD data omissions for Star Castle ships.

[PM]

Updated Gopher Cargo Hold to 1.3. Gophers should be a bit smarter at not looting items they should not (i.e., those you purposefully left behind).

[PM]

Reuploaded Star Castle. Most of the mod has been rewritten to emulate the classic arcade game much more closely. Now features a new adventure - Star Castle Arena!

A few minor bugs have been found, and will be fixed soon.

Also updated Star Castle ships in the PSD Xelerus pack.

Update: Bugs fixed and both archives reuploaded.

[PM]

Uploaded new mod Firewall to Xelerus. It adds a device, which takes a launcher slot, that raises a force field around the ship for a second. The force field repels ships and destroys missiles. The device must rest for three seconds between each use.

[PM]

Updated the following:
Firewall: Force field stops all non-generic damage. Also added bonus hidden weapon.
Star Castle: Fixed bug where generator did not use shield slot.

Also reuploaded PSD Xelerus pack with the updated Star Castle file.

[PM]

Uploaded new mod Wave Cutter. It adds an overpowered weapon that fires wide, passthrough shots as seen in various shmups.

[PM]

Reuploaded Star Castle, both the mod and the Star Castle file in the PSD Xelerus pack. Arcade mode features mild friction. Star Castle Boss also no longer fires big shots while protected by Sustain.

[PM]

Reuploaded Drake Technologies Alpha and Items Pack 912. Moved Duplex weapons from Items 912 to DrakeTech, reworked Duplex weapons to act more like Phasers, and removed most of the old Phasers. Also fixed some minor bugs here and there.

[PM]

Updated PSD6+ Ships: Osaka Transport to use the recently updated Multiverse Osaka.

[PM]

Reuploaded Drake Technologies Alpha. Re-added a particle Phaser, and added another line of weapons, shields, and armor. The new armor has integer damage reduction (applied after resistances). New weapons are simple slow-firing, high-damage-per-shot guns, sort of halfway between slam/tritium cannons and howitzers (because weaker rapid-fire weapons favored by Drake Technologies get stopped cold by stacking damage reduction).

Um, I'd hate to… barge in like this, and I'm likely breaking a rule here, but as said in its page in xelerus.de, the Resource Library 912's Fancy Item Display Mod interferes with the Benedict quest. When he tells you to loot the station, even if you take everything, the mission doesn't update. At least in Transcendence 1.3. Does it work in the new 1.5?

[PM]

I do not know (probably not). I have not updated to 1.5 yet.

[PM]

Updated ALL mods to 1.5.
See the first post for the list. All mods except 120 Facings Ships have their folders renamed and prefixed by d912_. Any previous versions of my mods (except 120 Facings Ships) should be removed before updating.
