Future Updates: Frankly, current OpenBoR doesn't have some features that I need in my mod but I'll release this mod without them. If those features were available in the future, I'll release updated version of Crime Buster which implements them.

I have played my mod and it took about 2,5 hours to finish it. What do you all think about it?

Also if you wonder what are the last 10% of the progress, they are music and voices. SlyBeast told me that my mod should use Techno music just like BoR's but I don't know where to get any for my mod . Anybody can help?

I got a few Boss fight-espe ones that I made for Newgrounds:

Artist name: Motombo

Boss Fight: Godhand

Boss Fight deux: Diego (working on a MUCH better version)

I know I owe you some voices Bloodbane, but that's because the 98 soundbanks are being stubborn.

Diego, are talking about music?

Well currently I'm using SoR2 music to be used in levels that need new music. It doesn't sound bad IMO. Maybe I ought to release a demo.

So you're saying that you have the version w/out the missing stuff?

Well, for now I'll use SoR series' musics for this mod since I like some of them.

Now some updates:

Thanks to God, I've managed to rip some tires for this mod complete with its fall animation. Here they are:



I also managed to convert 3 levels to direction left levels. Just 2 pics of them:

Can you list the files that I'm supposed to have when I DL the Demo?

Yeah, I got OpenBOR to work, but even after DLoading CBDEMO with those files, it shows up in the OpenBOR menu, it loads, then it auto-closes saying that it was timeed out, then input error.

I forgot to include required files there cause I assumed anyone who Dl-ed the demo knows how to run OpenBoR (which means they have the files). I include langpack.txt because it contains different menu texts for my mod while OpenBoR.exe is ver2.0045 which is good enough to play the demo. So please use the langpack.txt from the .rar instead of the default one.

As for your problem Diego, I really don't know as I never experienced it.

Oh dear, I've just remembered an OpenBoR bug. If the .pak name is 4 or 6 letters long, OpenBoR will look for font1 which doesn't exist and kicks you out. The solution is simple, just rename the .pak into anything shorter than 9 letters and not 4 or 6 letters.

That's a really weird bug.

I keep wondering what caused my typos. Oh well, glad there's edit function.
I am going to check from which version that weird bug exists. Hmm... I still have old OpenBoR versions here.

Maybe it's something freudian.

Ok, I got the demo working thanx to changing the .pak name. Now the ONLY problem is that it wob't play any sounds at all.
