MOD NAME: Metroid Incursion CREATED BY: Richard Outman a.k.a. “Grimlock” – Grimlock Arts COMPLETED: May 2014 WEBSITE: www.grimlockarts.com (work in progress at this time) EDITOR USED: Editroid versions 2.0 to 3.6 README for Release Version 1.1 - 5/5/2014 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Updates for Version 1.1 1. Minor changes to title screen 2. Corrected an issue with the Norfair level design. If a person falls to the bottom of the water/sewer falls without missiles then they won't be able to acquire the high jump and get out of that area. 3. Corrected map (minor graphics) in Plus version 4. Modified the level design so you need to have the high jump to acquire the bombs 5. Added/Modified creatures in areas 6. Removed one perma-stuck spot 7. Minor cosmetic modifications -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .IPS Versions: Metroid_Incursion.IPS = Standard Weapons and Original Gameplay Metroid_Incursion_Plus.IPS = Added pause mini map, Wavy Ice weapon, Save game feature Why 2 versions? "Plus" adds the map system and wavy ice which are amazing hacks. Some areas are easier to complete with the wavy ice such as the final Tourian area. The wavy ice mod increases the strength of the ice weapon also. Over all this version makes the game easier to complete. If you want a challenge then try the standard version first before playing the Plus version. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to apply .IPS: Download Lunar IPS Place a original copy of Metroid in a folder with Lunar IPS Place Metroid_Incursion.IPS in the folder with Lunar IPS Run Lunar IPS and select "Apply IPS Patch" - selectr IPS file to use - select file to patch Done I would recommend that you copy your original twice and rename it: Metroid_Incursion Metroid_Incursion_Plus And then apply the two IPS versions to the two files -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Editroid was created by Snarfblam and is regularly updated, download it from his website Website - http://snarfblam.com/ All of the extra features of the PLUS version were created by Snarfblam Mini-Map Save Game Wavy Ice weapon -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Creation of this MOD was a long journey starting in April 2011. Like most projects of this magnitude life tends to get in the way and long periods of Inactivity result. Finishing this mod was a big goal for me and I'm happy to say that I was able to see it through to the end. I hope everyone who plays this MOD thoroughly enjoys it. -Richard Outman "Grimlock" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special thanks to: Snarfblam - For your awesome Metroid editor, Metroid plus hack, and answering all my questions at Metroid construction.
