Tha SHPOILERSH -> It's the one you must get a keycard to open. Fiddle with the creatures.dat to get it show w/out scanner, and to be killed by every kind of weapon. From the crate you'll find a security box. Fiddle with items.dat to make it open without the need to have that keycard in your inventory. <- Tha SHPOILERSH

Either your screen really doesn't like 640x480 screen mode, or your graphics card doesn't support 3D acceleration. In both cases, not much to be done I'm afraid.

what happend to the map editor? i did not see it in notrium.

Did you remember to edit the file in the data folder?

# quote

macaco 19 years ago

edit what file? i looked and saw a setup it's for the editor right? i have three questions, 1: am i talking about the corect file? 2: what program should i grab to use it? 3: what should i edit?

# quote

Grim Reaper 19 years ago

1) Yes, if you're talking about setup.dat.

2) Any program that is capable of editing text (e.g. Notepad).

3) Change the line "0;//create game initialization debug file" to "1;//create game initialization debug file" (don't include the quotation marks).

After you've done that, just start Notrium, select New game, choose a mod and select Start Editor.

thanks! it worked! but why do you have to do that?

# quote

Pete 19 years ago

Just because editor allows every ****ing i*iot to cheat in this mighty game.

# quote

Because Ville is to lazy to do it himself

I got a question for you, Ville; Why can't you make patches, like the bigger games, instead of a whole new Notrium version? It would be more easy that way.

# quote

Idiota 19 years ago

I think patches are kind of useless. It works fine this way and it would only cost our hard working Ville more work. I am willing to spend a minute of the load of free time I got to reinstall the thing. Ville should focus on his new game.

# quote

Grim Reaper 19 years ago

Argh... That patch thingie gave me an idea (which I think I might've mentioned before)...

# quote

ville 19 years ago

Patches are for people with version controlling software. I don't have any for Notrium. Might be a good idea for future games though.

There's a nest somewhere in the hive.

You need a specific type of blue alien. If you need to kill small blue aliens, it won't help to kill the larger ones, and vice versa. And yes, you need to kill lots of them.

Yes, Baby Blue Aliens, Small Blue Aliens, Blue Aliens and Queen Blue Aliens are all diffrent flavours.

Little hint, The hive is the best place for all your evolution needs.

# quote

The Gemini 19 years ago

OK, answers:

1. Those psionic gates are placed randomly, but in a certain area. The water gate are placed in the ship cemetary. If you downloads the mod "Notrium relocation Mod", the gates are in set position.

2. You need a repair unit, computer unit+battery.

3.I dont know.

I hope that helped

I have a few questions for you Ville.

How did you get Notrium to search for certain data and read it from the data files. What I really want to know how to do is search for a perticular number or string in a file and then read the parts concerning it. I'm sure this is pretty complex and not something you're going to want to go into detail about but could you just give a summary of what you did, how you did it, maybe where you learn't to do it so I can read about it? Thanks.

I'm assuming you used a scripting language? Which one?

Is there any way to keep my alien larva from going everywhere? I've tried fencing them in with barriers and while I'm on the screen, it seems to work okay and they can't push through(on flee OR follow), but as soon as I wander off to fetch them some corpses they break through. Is there either a "stay" command or a way to confine them better?

When I got Notrium, Ide only managed to survive in ca two days.(that was on easy people!).
So dont give up!
Ide never played with psionic(

) so I cant answer your questions.
my advice is to play with the human in the begining, and when you've become familiar with the planet Notrium, switch to an other race.

is it possible to make armor?
and
how do you make it?
if you can
if you cant
where do you find it?

as a human can you get the blue alien egg and hatch it into an ally?
and can the android get an ally at all?

and where does the circular panel in the ship graveyard take you and what is there waiting for you after using the panel thing?

Sorry I'm a bit late, moved to a new apartment.

To your question, Notrium doesn't do anything fancy. It just loads everything into huge arrays in the beginning of the mod loading. The ID's in the files are translated into array indexes by inserting empty elements for missing numbers.

There is no scripting language used, Notrium uses my invention, the numbered parameter system you've gotten to know so well. Not a day goes by that I wish I had made it use XML. With the numbers the engine just goes through a list of things to do, that's how all the effects are done.

where the hell is that tattered paper?!

In one of the boxes in the ville corp area.

--------------------------------------------------------------

When I was modding notrium, I found two strange things there. Gthan and Maja, strange leaf and strange bark. Ville and quanrian, what is this? A joke? Or something that will pop up in the next version? I looked everywere, and mostley in the eden area, but I didn't find these items at all.
Ive searched for them in the .dat files, but I can't find them there either(except in the items.dat)

WHAT IS THEY???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
