Cipher knows there are no nukes at Glatisant, because he had taken all of them the day before.

Ace Combat X

I heard about the ADA having the Scin/Hrimfaxi MPBM but I don't think it could be this overpowered.

Yeah, it does sadly.

Sadly it don't think that's the definitive amount. Not sure if the MPBM also destroyed the enemies that spawn and become visible when you are getting closer to them.

​@@death_the_d0g, good point. Also, Excalibur can fire even when doing a *Smooth Criminal?* You can damage the base even though the firing orb is still alive?

@@NotDaender HAHAHAHA!! Smooth Criminal LMAO

F

That kinda sounds like Sabaton lyrics.

*HE IS THE NUCLEAR MACHINE!* Dare none to challenge him! Feared ace both by ground and skies!

@@cac_deadlyrang I know this reply is ultra dinosaur late, but it's a parody of "Ancient Fires of Cosmic Destiny" by Gloryhammer, but I'm also an even BIGGER Sabaton fan.

@@flapflapflapflap What's that a reference to? Is it a Sabaton song that I don't remember or is it Gloryhammer?

He just got into the executable file on an emulator and turned everything related to the MPBM into a boolean value

Yeah, you can manipulate a lot fo the parameters of the SPWs as well enemy behaviour and some other interesting stuff. I need to properly map everything since these parameters are spread all over the game's executable file (ELF).

Every time you fire a missile or destroy a target the game will create special effects such as explosions, smoke trails, debris, etc. These effects are made of many small particles and every one of these particles are small textures/bitmaps. When you do an action that that generates/triggers these special effects the game will load the textures/bitmaps related to them and will place them somewhere in the PS2's VRAM (the GPU basically). For example, when you fire the XLAAs/XMAAs at four targets the game will load and allocate somewhere in the VRAM the necessary particles for the smoke trails generated by the missile launched as well the explosion that will be created if it hits the target. Since you are firing 4 missiles at the same time, the amount of required data loaded will be multiplied by 4. The game can handle the particle load as long there are not that many enemies and the player is not shooting them all at the same time, but since the AoA has ~65 active targets and the MPBM will destroy them all at the same time, that means that the amount of particles to load will be multiplied by 65, enough to overwhelm the game's memory and making it crash due to being unable to allocate more particles since the VRAM is filled to the brim with the other particles that were loaded at the same moment the MPBM was detonated.

Charles Charleston So it’s due to a particle effects overload. Makes sense. Is there any way to modify the emulator to give your “PS2” an ungodly amount of VRAM to compensate?

@@Regal_Two Not sure raelly. I think that kind of modification would require redesign the entire way a PS2 works at hardware level.

@@death_the_d0g What a shame. At least you're able to modify weapon parameters and whatnot. Good luck with whatever you're going to try next!

Indeed, there are no Cipher skin for the Morgan in the original ACZ, but thanks to the research I made now you can add custom skins in this game: www.moddb.com/games/ace-combat-zero-the-belkan-war

I think it doesn't include the enemies that spawn near you when you get close to them.
