Hello,

Can we add a 2P category for this game? I am going to run it with my arcade running partner.

Thank you!

Will be posting the results of speed testing I do on various approaches here. Feel free to dispute with evidence, the faster the better!

Test 1: Faster to repair red couplers or replace?

• Test: P2 Put new coupler next to red linked coupler. P1 Put welding robot next to other red coupler. On start, P2 disconnects red coupler, drops wrench, connects hoses to new coupler, picks up wrench, and secures hoses to new coupler. P1 uses robot to Repair red coupler.

• Result: Robot repair easily won, and thats before we even factored in the time of needing to run the coupler over.

• Conclusion: Better to repair red couplers than to try and replace them in any run.

Test 2: Faster to drive robots to middle of field or stay close?

• Test: P1 spawns arm robot, walks it sufficient distance from initial spawn, deploys it. Then repeats with weld robot. P2 runs to moon rover, gets in, drives to spawn, spawns arm robot, loads onto cart, spawns weld robot, loads onto cart, boards rover, drives to middle of field, removes robots, deploys robots.

• Result: Spawn walking robots wins. Was able to easily walk over and deploy two robots that had range to reach/repair any component well before rover was able to get into place.

• Conclusion: On any 1P map atleast spawning robots and walking them to a sufficient range they can do all jobs is better than using the rover. This may not be the case if you have extra people to load the rover to cut down on exit/entry time in higher player counts.

Can we have a category for 2 player? Perhaps the rules could be each level you add your two times together and then final time is all levels added together?

Download the full iso, not the russian rip. Install the patches, BUT NOT THE NO-CD, if you already patched the original exe with no-cd, uninstall and reinstall. Mount the .ISO into windows virtual drive, or install daemon tools and use virtual drive created by daemon tools, no-cd is useless, does not work, you need the ISO file in virtual drive in order to play. (In Windows 10 (as with Windows 8. x), you can simply double-click an ISO file to mount it as a virtual DVD drive. That virtual drive shows up in File Explorer with its own drive letter, and it acts just like a DVD.)

For widescreen support: Download dgVoodoo2 http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/

Extract it somewhere

Open the MS\x86 folder and copy D3D8.dll, D3DImm.dll and DDraw.dll files to the starship trooper install dir

Start the game using <path-to-game>\setup.exe.

Press Configure and select dgVoodoo DirectX Wrapper as your driver.

Then press Play to launch the game.

In the game options menu select a resolution that is smaller than the one set in dgVoodoo, but has the same aspect ratio. This will make the in-game interface larger; the smaller the resolution set in the options menu, the bigger will the in-game interface be rendered on screen.

Hello,

Me and my friend are working a recording for the PS2 version 2P coop mode.

We were wondering if it would be possible to get a 2P category when we complete the run?

Thank you

Hello,

When trying to submit a solo run in the 2P map category you are unable to.

https://www.speedrun.com/Moonbase_Alpha/run/mk9opx5z

You are forced to enter 2 names, otherwise you get the error "Not enough players entered"

If you try to enter your name twice, you get the error "Can not enter duplicate names"

Can someone fix this? Thank you.

Howdy all,

A friend and I want to run this but we were curious about a few things:

• Are Glitches allowed (including ones that buff stats)?
• Can we get a coop 2P, 3P, and 4P categories?
• Can the categories have variables for character picked?

If you dont mind making me a moderator, I wouldnt mind setting up all the various categories and difficulties and so on :)

Thank you for considering!

Howdy,

I want to run this, full game Any%

Any chance a category can be added?

If made a mod I can set it up if you do not want to.

Thank you

Howdy moderator,

Would it be possible to get a section of the runs for Co-op 2 player runs? Me and my buddy want to run this.

Also, it might make sense to define them as Any% and then have Character be a variable option to pick (so you dont have to make a bunch of categories for each monster)

Example: Castle Crashers https://www.speedrun.com/cc#Co-op_Any

Thanks!
