Ooh! Another great game. Bought it a week ago. Very good game. Though I'm still in New York, so I guess it'll be a long time before I finish it.

Watch out for the military bots.. theyre sneaky bastards.

[Stunaep]

They shall be no match for my GEP gun and l33t master heavy weapons sk11lz

[Thorn]

Oh yes they will...
*shoots bot in the back with GEP gun*
*bot turns around*
*reloads GEP gun*
"Target Acquired"
*still reloading*
*BLAMBLAMBLAM*
*fires GEP gun again*
*BLAMBLAM*
*dies*
*bot turns around and walks away, sparking slightly*

The small security bots at LaGuardia are hard enough!
Damn my inability to sneak around, it's all running and shooting!

And what's more, I keep getting the blue screen of death when I play SS2. SHODAN at work, perhaps?

Yeah, LaGuardia is full of those little buggers, and they can sometimes kill you with just one shot so you have to blow them up before they fire. There is actually a GEP gun in one of the security towars though, so if you did not choose it at the beginning you can get one there.

Also, the Paul Denton/UNATCO fight is simply the best scene in the game for playing around, even better than the MJ12 Pacific Rim lab area. I am still discovering new, absolutely hilarious things that can be done there. Just a few days ago I finally was able to get a savegame where I got Paul to slide around in the area reliably (that's right; slide, without moving his legs and frozen in position); I had done this before a couple of times but previously could only very rarely get it to work. The door leading to the bathroom is what causes all this; this is one of the few doors in the game that has some very strange properties and makes the AI do crazy things when using it.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

I once managed to get the entire UNATCO staff fighting each other, by spawning a load of cats and dogs. the dogs attacked the cats. Then a trooper attacked a dog, and hit another trooper, who then fired back, and so on. Soon the whole building was fighting, even Walton Simons. Even Sam Carter! How he got out of the armoury I'll never know.

[CP5670]

Yep, I have done that as well; very funny to watch. The AI guys are actually capable of opening any door they want, locked or not, so you can sometimes actually get to areas that you are not supposed to be able to at the time by hurting a guy and letting him run to the door.

As for spawning stuff, you have not seen anything yet; for example, in the Paul Denton area, try spreading either lab flasks, basketballs, or computer terminals (computerpersonals) all over the floor, call the MIBs in and then watch the fun.

Or, if you want to play around with that bathroom door I mentioned earlier, stand in front of him and throw a scramble grenade (nanovirusgrenade) at the opposite wall, and he will run into the bathroom and then start walking back to his seat. (at which point you can obstruct his path with the door and watch the fun)

You think the little buggers are bad?
The Military Bots resemble the Champion from Mechwarrior 3, and are probably about half as big (which is still huge).....

On a side note. Does anyone have any pics of Citadel station? It would make a good FS mod.

That's it? Pretty generic station, that.

Try this--

Open up (or create) "user.cfg" in the root of your SS2 install directory, and add the line "safe_texture_manager".

Yah but the mining laser that can devastate Earth all the way from Saturn makes up for it.

[Stryke 9]

That come optional or standard?

[ZylonBane]

It's part of the "Rampant Megalomaniacal A.I." upgrade package.

[Stryke 9]

Aww... probably costs some insane amount of money. I guess I'll have to settle for the moon base with the giant plasma cannon, then. Stupid moon bases...

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Hmm, when I get 3DS Max, in few days, I might try to make citadel.

[ZylonBane]

What we really need is someone to make high-poly models of the creatures in SS2. They really lowballed their polygon budget on that one.

[Turnsky]

Ss2 uses a modified Thief engine i think..

[HeX]

Yep
