![]() After they do that I think they're planning to totally h4x0r it and add features and stuff. OH YEAH some dudes over on the forums got the Tyrian sourcecode and they're porting it. The songs can play right in your browser exactly how they sound in the game (assuming you used adlib sound like a real man). I just got an email from Alex Brandon about his new website and a website someone else has set up with all his Tyrian songs on it (but not Andreas Molnar's!(spelling?)). But still tell me about any remakes you're making.Ģ3rd March 2007 - Hey maybe I should update this thing. I AM JUST A FAN AND I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF TYRIAN SO STOP ASKING ME FOR PERMISSION TO REMAKE IT. If you know of any Tyrian mods or active webpages or extra downloadables or cheats I don't have or anything Tyrian related email me here. Why don't you start a page too? There are at least TEN remakes and fan games inspired by X-Com and Tyrian is at least as good as that. It was last updated on 23rd March, making it about the only updated Tyrian page on the net (NOTE: this is no longer true). All the graphics and stuff are mine or World Tree Games's, you can't steal them. If there ever was a Menu% category, it would likely be the least fun cat.This is my Tyrian/Tyrian 2000 page. Basically my 7 year old monitor sucks and can't stay in sync to such an odd value.ĥ) There's a lot of menuing and screen transitions in this game! Probably at least 4.5 minutes worth. This also explains some of the weird inconsistent frame counts on certain specials, and my odd screen tearing and sound issues that I don't see on real DOS with a CRT. ![]() so close range kills and the top screen warp are at most a 20-30 second time save. It does eventually slow down the game and cause various sound issues though!ģ) Playing with Ctrl + F12's 5% CPU overclock on the normal MAX setting in DOSBOX does nothing to FPS.Ĥ) There's little time difference in killing the first boss quick or leaving the top behind.ġ) Kill Bosses any way you like for speed.Ģ) Play any detail setting you want - no affect on speed.ģ) Changing the dosbox CPU game settings does not affect FPS positively.Ĥ) The FPS is 47-48 on turbo. Weirdly enough, this is seemingly confirmed by Jason Emery himself in this thread that I didn't notice till now: Ģ) Playing with fixed CPU cycles does not increase the FPS, no matter how high or low you go. ![]() So in my testing with the debug cheat, Tyrian runs at 47-48 FPS in Turbo.ġ) Tyrian runs at 47-48 FPS in turbo, not 35 FPS. Spoilers, it's about 100 and 200 frames respectively. And in case you were wondering how many frames it takes to get full shields, and out of invulnerability, that's in there as well. I also test out how many frames it takes for the SDF to fire of the screen and recharge, and for the Plamsa to be off the screen. If executed well, you might save about a minute over the course of the 30 levels with bosses where this is applicable, but obviously some level layouts might make this unsafe to do. It might actually be faster to just use the close range and top screen warp time saves and not really care about this. ![]() Whether this actually saves a huge amount of time is doubtful though, as, I'm guessing the boss is vulnerable shortly before that. You should also be able to get a quick kill on the first boss (AKA, kill it without leaving the top part of the boss behind to finish off) if you wait for it's firing noise every time. The game doesn't appear to know how to handle that with the pause cheat so it just acts as if they were all deployed on the first frame. I'd thought the game skipped ahead, but with some further testing it turns out that you can literally deploy all of the plasma on single frames, so it looks like 6 frames in total. On top of all of that, Plasma Storm is definitely the fastest way to kill a boss due to piercing and it's rather unique instant deploy. On average, being close to the boss saves about 10 frames, and being close to the top of the screen seems to save 8-10 frames. Tyrian looks like it runs at 30 frames per second. You can frame step with one of the cheat codes - Num Lock + Backspace. Tyrian is a pretty unique game in that it has a common TAS and speed runners tool built right in. So yeah, both of these things do save time. ![]()
