I just can't do it... I can't leave MXO this way.... I've had the end of our story rolling around in my mind for years and I just can't let it go without at least attempting to get it down....
With the Bayamos hacks several of the things I want to do are now possible, and I'm willing to risk my system to do it....
It means a very tight schedule and quite a few sleepless night for me but I just can't let it go...
Whose up for one last video?

PLEASE! I'm so happy I resubbed MxO, even just to be a part of this.

Sounds sexy. Lets go out with a bang!

you had me at MxO

ok

you had me at MxO
Yotogi beat me to it.

OMGWTFHAXLOLZKTHXBYE!!
-
WWWOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I say we release it on July 30th.
-
<--- This guy is on board.
-
You know I'm in. Let's make a full length feature. Or at least like a 20 minute epic tale. Ive said it many times before, but let me know ANYTHING you need Broin. Movie making is what I do, I majored in editing so if you want someone to relieve you of that burden I would love to. I can send you dailies for your approval for notes and it will be amazing.
-
Remember though, we only have a month and a half for filming. Less if we want to release by the 31st. That's not a whole lot of time. Broin, whatever you need, let us know.
-
I'd like to come along but I can not find my damned MxO CDs. Is there any other way to get the launcher anymore? I've got to go through everything if not :(

Thanks Fuse, Count me in Broin when It's done patching.

We used to have the launcher linked in our forums. Look up MxO client or something. Otherwise go download the Sony Station Launcher from SOE and then you can download from there. However, I thought no one could resub after June 1st or something...so not positive if you can anyways.
EDIT: Oops, just saw you were linked to it. Comments still apply about not being able to resub. Let us know if it lets you.
-
Oh I'm signed up :) Just needed the launcher.
On that note, it was awesome just jacking in. Felt like the old days for a split second.
I'm ready to make a movie!
-
I'm in! Apparently i still have an active subb =x
-
Broin disappeared again. Three days now. I'm lonely :(
...
On second thought, he'll never catch up to me on SWG! Gwahaha!
-
Careful what you say. When Broin is gone this long, someone or someones dies... with that sass, you could be next.

What am I now, chop liver? :)
On a different note, anyone who once had an active subscription to the Matrix Online and let it expire/canceled in good standing, is now able to play the game free of charge.
ANYONE. This means someone who played for the first month of Launch and hasn't played since is still able to play. Thus, Lits is now able to help out with the movie.
-
Oooo cool

count me in... atleast on the weekends

Yeah I had some stuff come up at work... Just getting around today to being able to stop and breathe a bit.
Things may be a bit hectic for me the next few but hopefully will cool down soon.
Will post here my scene shots for Adad to get started. We need to make sure we film with the same settings so we can edit together easier.
I think we need to plan for two weeks of filming and then the rest for editing purposes and clean up shots. It is going to be very very tight people.
If you have ideas of scenes you've always wanted to do or see please post them and we'll do our best to work them in.
-
I'm taking the last week of July off work for the big game finale. I'll make myself available as much as possible before then.
-
I'm not positive my computer will be able to handle fraps as well as yours. As a matter of fact I'm sure it won't. Maybe I can get some more RAM this week for it.
-
My new comp can handle FRAPS + high end MxO, but I'm going on a two week vacation starting this Saturday, so I'll be on my laptop.
-
If I can manage to steal fifteen bucks to get in then I'm up for it.
-
Just reinstalled... Im in! How can I help??

hmm I always thought /Doorkick would be awesome to use in the movie if we could get some movie magic on the door to show it busting open...

That would be simple yet sweet Pirus, good call. Quick shot of the kick, cut to other side of the door flying open. Easy ;)

I like it. Wouldn't be hard to do at all, either.
-Mouseover on the door

-Hit TAB to open the door

Don't forget the Epic wood shattering splinters that blast everywhere!
-
I showed a friend of mine the Angels of Vengeance movie today... getting so pysched to do another one!!! One last moment of glory?
-
Anyone know if it's still possible to turn on those old awakened ability animations via the client side hacks like power shot that if you ran on a macro would make your arms/fists have blue rings and bright flashes?
-
Yeah ... what sorrows said... the door actually splintering off and pieces of wood flying off the door into the room... thats the part I think would be a bit tough.... I also think the kick and the door opening will need a speed boost to make it more realistic/believable. As you know /doorkick is too slow and more like rubbing your foot on the door, instead of kicking it in. It needs a little more omph to it in the speed department.
-
We're coming up on July. When do we start filming this sumbitch?
-
We're coming up on July. When do we start filming this sumbitch?
Uhm, yeah that was supposed to start last week. However over the past two weeks I had work kick up on me as it can from time to time. However in the evenings I was able to get all the useropts, and opts.cfg, and the Bayamos Hack up and running so that we could film pretty much non stop without worrying about the weather or the time.
However Last Friday or Saturday evening I logged in thinking it was time to start and jumped on TS and saw everyone on that I needed. So I logged into the game and started getting some graphics error. It was the same kind of pixilation of the game when my graphic cards got clogged up last time with dust, so I shut down my system disconnected the cards and cleaned them out.
However when I put it all back together the computer would not restart. It was a problem that I’ve had before where the system seems to power up but the graphics cards just wouldn’t kick on. Basically I can hear the fans kick on, I can hear the hard drive kick on, but the monitor just doesn’t kick on. I think the problem is that the power supply (yes once again the power supply) is dying and just doesn’t have enough juice to turn it all on.
So I’m pretty much F’n dead in the water until I get a new power supply, and I truly hope that is all that it is. However I need a 800+ power supply with my system and you just can’t pick one of those up at the store. I have to order it….
With that said I am not giving up on this video and will post the basic sequence of filming shortly so you all have an idea of what I am going for.
Hopefully very soon guys, my apologies

I can't wait!!
-
it's so sad... when do we start? :)
-
Fuck. Yes.
Very "Final Flight of the Osiris".
Did you say you managed to get the "mega population" hack working in useropts? The one that allows for an overload of pedestrians? Might be cool to see the white suits running through a sea of bluepills.
-
Sounds like a great start. I feel like the title sequence belongs at the end of that scene. Where did the title come from? Is it just as simple as it sounds?

Yeah I could throw a ton of cars and people in there if needed. However it tends to lag my system out and I've always thought of the problem with during an agent chase agents can just bounce from person to person as needed and that might be hard to film right.
Was going to go for empty streets but it's always open for whatever you guys think
ALSO I made this post on the MXO BOARDS
http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/posts/list.m?start=90&topic_id=36300028741
Anybody know hex code and how to find what he is talking about. I'm also going to need someone to figure out how to put the Agent Gray model into one of the hex codes for the area boss masks as he is not in the list that I have from the Mathalos update and we need an agent disguise that you can do hand to hand in.
-
Wow, that is awesome.
Do we have a current "Cast" of people that's going to stand in? I'd love to be in the last one.
I'll check around about the Agent guise thing, see what I can dig up.
-
We will need just about everyone to get this done. Some parts are going to be bigger than others but for sure everyone will be needed... Most especially with the final sequences.
Main people needed for scene 3 are
Lits / Yotogi / Pirus / Manic
Poor Manic and Yotogi... :2'(
-
I think the empty streets is a good idea for the majority, but the idea of a short scene or even shot would be sweet with the streets filled as he said. A couple angels walking through the masses.
When do we start? I have free time this week, but will be gone this weekend...
-
Poor Manic and Yotogi... :2'(
LOL, Uhoh
It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.
-
Broin, check your pms for information on the Agent Gray hex info. It's your call if you want to trust the source.
-

I believe the complete phrase is "All good things...must come to an END".
A fitting title :(

Got it. Duh. Mental lapse last night. D'oh

Poor Manic and Yotogi... :2'(
If I could pick one person to orchestrate my death, I would choose Broin. :)

We'll be able to get it done still once Broin gets his computer back. I'll be online a lot to help out in any way.
-
I know I'm late in the chain but...
Video... I like videos... I think I'd have to at least make an attempt to take part.
-
Could we do something light-hearted at the end of the video? Like a blooper-reel with FA running from an agent, Benny Hill style. Or a series of outtakes of funny things that happened while filming.
-
I hope this isn't going to affect filming:

Apparently they are turning on the Halloween event, resulting in the uber dark sky. Can that be reversed through useropts?
-
haha release it after the fact on the DVD along with the commentary. I think a good one would be one of us in /mood drunk during a scene and broin yelling at us. lol

All I can say is it is really dark in there right now!

-
It sounds like they're going to continually change the sky every few days.
Data points to a systematic fault in the entire system.
Statistical analsys shows further altered weather patterns highly probably in the coming days.
Thankfully, Bayamos is a help.
You can as always redirect the weather's TSEC setting.
I think how it works is that if you have the default value in your .metr file (0x 80 BD 05 00 38 ), a server event like Halloween will override it, and you get dark sky despite having the default TSEC. The current METR files appear to be patched so that Richland, International, Downtown all have the default TSEC instead of their respective normals. If you use a non-standard TSEC in your .metr file, the override takes place on your client instead, and default doesn't inherit the server's settings... so you see what you have set, rather than the darkness. At least that's how it was last Halloween.
So, you might be able to get regular weather back by changing from "default" to international (0x 80 1C D1 00 38 ), barrens (0x 80 1D D1 00 38 ), and downtown (0x 80 1E D1 00 38 ). If those don't work, another TSEC like day*, cine*_*, etc. should do the trick.

Yea, anything ingame just about can be changed client side. If Broin if filming all he has to do it edit it on his side and were golden.
-
Broin, do you need me to send a PM to Virrago asking for some SWAT Spawn tools? I do not believe that there are any Agent Spawn tools...
-
Managed to fix the weather, client-side. Useropts determines the speed of the day/night cycle, but Bayamos' hacks are required to determine the actual weather.
I also tried playing with the pedestrian density and couldn't get it working for the life of me. I managed to get tons of cars in the streets, but only a small handful of pedestrians. But I did find that apparently Shimada has a character model within the pedestrians. I ran into her a couple times while I was testing Talking to her yielded the typical pedestrian phrases, and her name came up as "Pedestrian", but the character model was unmistakably Shimada. I imagine the chances of running into her in-game with the default settings are slim-to-none, but I managed to spawn a couple copies of her with my tweaks. :D

I'm sorry...did we all just glaze over the fact that Styan's back or has he been back for awhile and I'm just out of the loop?
Anyway, good to see you Styan, WB.

As Mr. Nocry would say, Evigilos FTMFW. Great to see you, Styan!
-
Sty-who? :P
Seriously though, always great to have you with us, Styan. :)

Thanks guys, I figured I'd make the most of the free month before they "pull the plug".

I missed my Canadian :)

Status update, Broin?

I may have to kill my tech guy

I don't like the sound of that - at all.

his compu isn't fixed.
also that guy will be found three days later in a "hiking accident"

Sometimes death is better.

Seriously... I emailed the SOB when the thing went down and he said he'd take a look at it. I would've taken it straight into a shop, but he has previously said if I ever needed help to give him a call and he'd help me out.
Now when I tell people that it means I'm gonna help them out.
So he emails me back and forth a bit and was sure he'd be able to look at it Thur. or Fri. at the latest. He was going to call me... Today is Saturday... I have not heard from him
The pissy thing is he knows I'm coming by his house this Sunday anyways for some unrelated stuff so it's not like he's not gonna see me, and it's not not like he doesn't know that when I see him I'm still gonna have computer issues, and it's not like he doesn't know I'm going to be pissed off that he hasn't done what he said he was going to do.
I mean come on... What's he think is going to happen when I show up on Sunday and he asks me how things are going. I'm going to just say oh swell except you haven't done what you said you were going to do.
This is a classic example of why I hate people.
Look like I am going to have to just order a new powersupply, pay an extra 30-40 bucks to have it shipped over night and hope that the power supply is what is really wrong with it...
I guess I'm going to go with a 750 W power supply... That's a downgrade from the 850 I have but I think it should still run my system. Or I guess I should say I hope it still runs my system.
All I know is that if it's not the power supply I'm taking the 30-40 bucks for overnight shipping out of someone's ass
-
*crosses fingers*
-
/whimper
-
Well nothing ships out today anyways... So best I could do would be to have it shipped out overnight on Monday and hope it arrives on Tues.
I don't know what do you guys think... Here is what the system is doing.
Over the past few months I've been having problems with the monitor kicking on after powering down the computer. I can hear the hard drive power up, and the fans, but the montior doens't kick on. It has power and I've switched out connectors but nothing.
I can reboot and initially after about 10 attempts the system would kick back on as normal, then it took about 20 attempts, and this last time it won't kick on at all.
It seems to start to boot up with the fans all kicking on but it doesn't. It can' be just the monitor because if it was I'd still hear the computer kick on and boot up but it doesn't.
My worthless friend said that it sounded like the power supply was dying. Which seems right to me because I end up loosing one every 2 years or so and it's been about that long since I've had this one.
-
I know this is a bit late considering you've already got your computer in pieces but how about plugging your computer into a separate circuit in your house. If you consistently blow power supply's it might be a voltage issue in your home.
-
Might also be worth running your computer through an uninterruptible power supply. In addition to being a battery backup during blackouts, I'm fairly certain most have voltage regulators in the case of dropouts/brownouts and what not.
-
Up and running.. don't know don't know... It's gonna be tight.
First sequence begins on Tuesday
-
I'll be there.
-
What time are you thinkinnnnng? I'm willing to get up early/stay up late in order to get my face on film :)
-
I can be on at around 9:30 pm EST. Thats the best I can do. I cant really help out too much during the day with work and then school except on the weekends.
-
will sit in TS for the times I am available.
-
Just send me the shots you record and a script of sorts. Also shoot me the songs you have in mind.
-
Broin is looking to film every day this week. Please look to be on guys.
-
Will be available after 10:30pm CT/FAT for the next 3 days.
-
Definatley need to be able to find out how to change the Westtek into the agent gun for the movie. Needed for the first death scenes in opening act...
-
First death! w00t w00t!
-
I'm trying to get my mate's headset for the next few weeks so I can take part - I don't mind being sent a few lines.
I take it we're all dying? Lol.
-
I will be available tonight a little more than I was last night. Thursdays-Saturdays are of couse the best time to get me for any length of time. I can be on thursday as late as you need me as I dont work on Fridays. I will hop on today at around 8 pm FA time and on thursday around 4 pm FA time.

-
On a different note, it should not be advertised that we're doing a movie. While a lot of people suspect that we are, the more discreet we are right now, the better.
We need as many people on as possible to keep the reds at bay while we do the filming...
I also had an idea, and, please shoot it down if you don't like it, but I think we should put all of Dark Evolution on our ignore lists. Manatik was nice enough to post a roster of everyone on the forums from June 1. He also posted a list of everyone that had been playing in Dark Evolution since its inception.
I wouldn't have a problem putting them on ignore because most of them aren't the greatest people anyway. Only thing though, this would definitely let everyone know that we are doing something if we do block them all.
I was looking for a way to go /invisible on the buddy list and that didn't seem to work. So, I guess we'll have to block everyone if we don't want people to know that we're on.

Important question. When I was working on my own movie back in the day, I found and downloaded a folder of all the sound effects from MxO. I cannot remember if I found it thanks to you guys or not, but if ANYONE knows where I can download one again I would GREATLY appreciate it. I need it badly for this movie. Thank you.
EDIT: I think I found where it used to be. http://www.mxoarchive.net/archives/dn1/thematrixonline.warnerbros.com/web/live/downloads/desktop.html

That's up to Broin.
I think it would be more beneficial if we continued to shoot more scenes, and then go back and re-shoot the smaller scenes if necessary.
-
The server received a slight patch today. According to Bayamos...
Looks like the patch broke the patch. While the disk file size for rezmap.ltb remained 6,725,632 bytes, the file size changed from 6,721,912 bytes to 6,722,136 bytes. As a result, when you try to open the launcher with an incorrectly sized file, the game will close when the typical "Initializing Resources" bit would play.
Patching the rezmap still works if you make swaps in the new file, just the old patch rezmap is no longer compatible (fx and metr files should be working fine). I know I won't be re-making the patch anytime soon, and I doubt Mathalos will be -- but we've provided the rezids in their reversed forms for nearly every change, and that is the difficult part. So yeah. Maybe someone intrepid feels like copy-pasting all those bytes, or writing a program to do it for them /shrug. Or you could go farm FM-1500s.
What does that mean?

Um... I suppose I could change Cpt. Dernick back to Agent Smith.
Fucking SOE. Fucking goddamn SOE.

Disaster averted. We've patched the patch. Not everything is working, but the stuff we need for the video is (IE Agent, Morpheus, Niobe)
-
Behold the awesome that this film will bring:

And yes, so far I have Agent Smith and Morpheus back to normal. Niobe is proving more difficult because I can't find her "pre-war" model. I'll keep looking.
Still to try:
- FM1500 swap
- Removing NPC's in clubs. This one is weird because each club has it's own specific set of NPCs. I could just null out all their values, but that would take a lot of time. We should decide which club(s) we'll be using before I go making any changes.

Thanks to some help from Ana, I got pre-war Niobe to work. But the patch (dubbed "Patch 2.Awesome") is far from finished.
I won't be able to do much on Friday as I've promised to take the little lady out on a date. I'll be able to dedicate a good chunk of this weekend to filming/modding. If anyone has any requests for unique character models, let me know and I'll see if I can whip it up. I'm confident that I can turn you into a subway car if that's what you want. :)
-
If you get a chance Manic send me your patch so I can get some solo stuff done that doesn't require everyone.
Without the patch not much I can do... Though I will be checking in tonight every so often to see what's up.
-
Broin, I can send you the patch with the Agent and stuff working. I don't quiet know if Niobe is in the one that Manic gave me, but Morpheus is.
Check your e-mail.
-
Niobe should be in there. She is acheived by activating the "Jack the Hack" RSI capture. He is the Uriah gang boss, located at Uriah Wharf.
Captain Dernick translates to Smith. The Teacher translates to Morpheus.
-
Updated the patch. Complete with patch notes. Omg I feel like such a professional programmer!

OKAY HERE IS A QUICK ROUGH DRAFT OF SCENE TWO. Basically what you have is multiple shots of an Agent meeting in the goverment building and then also a FA meeting in the white hall ways.
I had a new idea for this where the agent speach would be closley related to Tbones speach. So basically you would be flipping back and forth between the two conversations and getting the whole details of what had jsut transpired and the imporance of it. Though I didn't originally thing of that, it might be worth a shot doing. Might take some rewriting on this.
The scenes for these sequences are really pretty much done, except we need to do a mass FA gatehring in the white hall ways to finish it off. I imagine we'll end up doing that when we shot the final scene which of course will require everyone to be there for.
SCENE TWO
Open scene with outside view of government building.
Camera zooming in towards the outside structure.
Camera reaches outside of the window then window bubbles and warps as the camera “SMOOTHLY” transitions into the building revealing a conference room full of agents. Agent Grey at the head of the table.
Agent Grey: At exactly 18 hundred hours and 35 minutes an incursion into the simulation occurred. A small group of Zion operatives entered the simulation and were able to procure a specific strand of code.
As you are aware since the resumption of hostilities we have been diligently monitoring Zion’s incursions into the simulation, tracking their movements, assessing their strength, evaluating their weaknesses.
As you are also aware the ingenuity of the humans has lead to them developing a failsafe device which circumvents an untimely death within the simulation. They call simply an emergency jack out.
For some time now this system has been deemed to be an unacceptable situation, the humans ability to thwart actions against them by simply hoping hardline or avoid their own demise by use of this system gives many Zion operatives little pause… In short the ability to circumvent the ultimate consequences of transgression against the system is unacceptable.
With this in mind research began on curtailing and ultimately shutting down this emergency jackout system. The task it seems was not small. Zion’s system allowed for the human conscious to circumvent the pervious failsafes that were embedded into the original system.
The answer to this problem then it seemed lay within the base code itself at the very core level. Upon further study it was determined that through use and manipulation of the original base code a new program could be developed to thwart Zions use of their failsafe system.
This code… The base code… Which has been used since the first iteration of the system is what the Zion operatives were able to procure. Needless to say this code must never be allowed to leave the simulation.
The Zion operatives were stopped before they were able to exit the simulation. However, they were able to encrypt and upload the code back into the system.
The program they used appears to have been specifically designed to mask the code inside the main data flow conduits in the various districts. With time we will of course be able to decrypt the program and regain the data.
Zion high command knows this as well, and without doubt will be sending in operatives to retrieve the code.

Didn't the Machines invent the emergency jack-out system as a token of peace between humans and machines?
Even with that in mind, I really like the script!
-
It could be argued that even if the Machines did invent it, it was revoked. And thinking that they soley possessed such technology and had full control over that technology were confident that their termination of this agreement and the removal of the EJS would once again put humans at their mercy when inside the matrix. However their discovery that humans had developed their own EJS technology is not acceptable to the machines.
Without refreshing myself with all the ins and outs of said Treaty and other details of the story, that is an explaination for the above listed situation as best as I can see it.

That was why I made that post. I just didn't want there to be any continuity issues in our movie. Maybe we can just work the script slightly in that part. That's all I was saying. I like your take on it, though, Phienyx.
-
That's a good point if it's true (I'm trying to remember). I've sent some revisions for Broin to look over to hopefully clear up some of the storyline and keep the continuity. We'll keep you guys updated if there are any changes.

From Rarebit's notes (http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/posts/list.m?start=0&topic_id=36300027578#36300540305):
there is a reference to "Danielle Wright" by a bluepill, in connection with a new network interface system a bluepill company is working on. (It is not mentioned in the mission, but this is the "Wright" of the "Wright Research" company in Downtown, a brilliant ex-Zionite scientist who lost faith in Commander Lock's vision, and left to begin a business career in the Matrix, working with Silver, but still generally sympathetic toward Zion operatives. She is the inventor of the EJP. Wright's own dream is humans taking over the Matrix from the Machines.)
So Danielle Wright was an ex-Zion scientist who left Zion out of disagreements with Commander Locke. She pursued a career in the matrix and developed the EJP with the help of the exile Silver.
I know we're not adhering completely to Rarebit's story, but at this point I think it's safe to say we can pick and choose. :P
-
No, I mean at the start of the game, didn't they discuss how they put the emergency jack-out system into the game, story-wise?
-
All I remember is that it was designed by Zion, though the "who" and "how" were never explained until Rarebit fleshed it out with Danielle Wright. The Machines allowed it under the terms of the truce as long as Zion only awakened those who wanted to be freed. Meanwhile the Machines restricted city access to Richland, hence the need for access nodes and keys.
Now my whistle is wet. I want to research this more!
-
Small update to the patch. The "Silver Bullet" animation now uses a silenced FM1500, and "The Grousome" RSI Capture (Ravenous dungeon boss) has been swapped with post-war Ghost in his white uniform.
I'll be doing more model swapping over the next few days. I want to get Seraph, Agent Pace, Cryptos and Veil in there.
-
Manic. Check your g-mail. Hopefully you'll appreciate it...

Thanks. :) This looks promising. I'll take a crack at it now and see what happens, then I'll get to work on getting other LE character models swapped in.
-
Update to the patch. New LE character models available on low-level gang bosses.
"Owl Bangheart" (Blackwoods Gang Boss) swapped with post-war Cryptos
"Gabriel" (Bullets Gang Boss) swapped with post-war Veil
"Tisiphone" (Furies Gang Boss) swapped with Agent Pace
"Capt. Sinclair" (ASP Gang Boss) swapped with Seraph
Ana did a lot of work to identify all the female NPC's in the game in an effort to rid them of the city churches. (Because apparently in MegaCity, only women attend church). I was able to eliminate all church NPC's except for a very stubborn three. I have no idea why three particular female NPC models would be separated from all the others. So I decided to revert back to a previous patch to restore the ones that I had taken out. So for now, churches are still in service.

After more hours of combined effort, we have the Church to ourselves. There is not a single NPC in the Church.
Jesus Christ that took long enough. Fuck multiple HEX code references.
-
As Ana said, the church is ours. I've created two separate patch files for this: One patch with church pedestrians, and one without.
Patch without church pedestriants (http://inspireatwill.com/manicv/Patch.zip)
Patch with church pedestrians (http://inspireatwill.com/manicv/Patch_CHURCH_PEDS.zip)

Please note that Manic's latest patch not only gets rid of all the female NPC's in the Church, but every single female NPC in the game.

More accurately, every female pedestrian in the game.
The matrix just became a sausage fest.
-
nice work guys; please post here if you need rsi captures; i can farm and email em to the broin or whoever.
-
I could use a good shot...
How do you get into the white halls again?
-
Use the 100 Million $i keys from the archive vendor.
-
damn... no $I lol

damn... no $I lol
If you're jacked in tonight I can get you in.

You know nothing about hex. Trust me! Not at least until you take a microprocessors course. :)
Well done.
-
Patch has been updated.
"Hatchet" (Crossbones Gang Boss) swapped with red-suited Merovingian
"Kip" (Bricks Gang Boss) swapped with red-dressed Persephone
I won't be adding The Kid and Shimada. So as of now, all the noteworthy LE characters have been added.
