I've been testing out some combinations of damage, fake, and my own personal modules and I noticed that thors pretty much fly through "fakeplayer" bots undetected. Regular bombs seem to do fine, and if I am inside the safety trigger radius the thor does explode in my face, as if to intentionally piss me off.
All joking aside, I can't think of a valid reason why thors would not work on a fakeplayer bot. Thoughts?

Make sure "regular" bombs are prox bombs. If prox bombs fail, check your prox settings. I seem to recall a weird combination that would make prox bombs fly through players.

I'm not sure what you mean by that could you clarify?
I'm currently using 1 as the prox tiles and like 28 as the explode radius.

You said you tested with "regular" bombs. Do "regular" bombs include proximity bombs?

Agile · Guest Offline

Yes, but also non-prox bombs too. I've tried both settings, and in either case the thors do not explode when they fly over the bot, unless my ship also happens to be on top of the bot, in which case the thor will explode in my face.

Oh actually, you're right, I just looked again and my levi didn't have prox. I thought I was using prox bombs.
Now when I try the prox bombs they don't hit either. Any idea what it is?
Also, is there a prox setting that makes ships start with prox?

Yeah, there is a prox setting that does it, but I can't remember which one or what settings cause the problem. Just play around with them and you should be able to fix the issue.

or you could try smong's initial program. it's in asss custom projects forum somewhere.

Agile · Guest Offline

No, seriously... there is no InitialProx setting in the template or anywhere else, and there should be.

smong's initial module? pffft

If you use the module at

you can use

InitialMultifire
InitialProx
InitialBounce
InitialSuper
InitialShield
InitialShrapnel

There's NOT one in subgame, but what's the reason for not including it in ASSS? It's a necessary setting that shouldn't be left out just because it wasn't in subgame.

Thanks to (Bak?) for making that module, it's a good addition. I hope someday grelminar implements the settings into ASSS, there's really no good reason not to.
Also thanks smong for that setting info, I'd have taken forever to find it myself.

well the reason not to is that the the settings are typically sent to the client, whereas my setting is a hack that prizes the player prox/whatever whenever he spawns.
(continuum has no notion of initalprox)

In that case, perhaps the shipreset command could be overridden to give those prizes when used in your module? Then it would work fine.

Initial module does not work properly as distributed. Could just be that I'm on windows XP and not linux... anyways, it works once I recompile it myself.

it was compiled with asss 1.4.3 so you'll probably need to recompile for 1.4.4
