I know It's Contra but, any way to add a quick melee attack? 
I already made the sprites If you want 'em.

Geez, Bloodbane! You're making it harder and harder for me to make my own mods with the temptations thou hast brought upon me. Actually, I'm just starting out with OpenBOR modding as I'm downloading the tools--and Contra, of course!. Wish me luck!

Just a quick question: Is there a recommended Build for this particular mod?

 You can use latest build if you want. I used Build 3722 to test the mod and I believe latest one should work too.

I know It's Contra but, any way to add a quick melee attack?

 That would require extra work. Hmmm.... IIRC I don't use freespecial at all so and there are 2 unused buttons.
 IMO this would look great on Sayuri and Jaguar .

 Ah, I prefer Plissken than those 2 .

Actually, I'm just starting out with OpenBOR modding

 Well, you should just start from simple mods. I know it's tempting but I don't recommend attempting Contra mod for newbies.

Been putting off trying to pick your brain about this one for ages too. I'm really interested in how you doing diagonal shooting.  Been looking at the files for the demo for ages but there is so much going on I am like 

Is there a certain script command you're using to shoot projectile diagonally is it it more complex than that?

My mod isn't 2d stages thou, so not sure if it would even work the same, unless can affect Z axis.

Mod is great btw, I can comment on anything new thou as I am yet to get further than I did in the demo

One thing for your attention thou, don't take this as a nitpick, but I thought you'd want to know.

In the intro animation when you start the game.  the Part where it spells Locked 'n' Loaded you can see that there is still a background around the  'N' although it's black, it's a different shade of black to rest of background. (introb.gif)

 Thanks for pointing that, I didn't notice it.

 As for diagonal shooting, the rule is different in 2D and 3D.
 In former, I'm not using old knife throwing system at all. I simply spawn the bullet with spawn01 function and give it proper velocity to move it diagonally. Of course, the bullets have antigravity set to prevent them from falling.
 In latter, if you are referring to shooting to different Z axis, you can use shooter function

- shooter {projectilename} {x} {y} {z} {Vx} {Vy} {Vz}
 Shoot projectile from certain distance and with certain speed
 projectilename = name of shot projectile
 x = x distance relative to char
 y = y distance relative to char
 z = z distance relative to char
 Vx = x velocity
 Vy = y velocity
 Vz = z velocity

 Aside of setting Vx, set Vz too. Try around with some values and find which one you like .

[BeasTie]

Thought I did try the shooter function, but I didn't know it was the right one for the job.  I'll try it again and get the values right.

Thanks for explaining that.

Cheers.

Edit : Like the new avatar btw.

I got it working, the shooting looks good, I'm just having problems actually hitting enemies with it.
