Ok this is for all you Descent level makers out there that use DEVIL.
I have figured out the hex code that changes the robot behavior in
descent. Using the hex table go down to the line 8c. It should be zeroed
out. Now here's the trick type in 00 07 00 ??
Where ?? can be the following:
??=80   Guard mode
??=81   unknown maybe standard aggressive
??=83   run away/lay bombs/open doors--very cool!
??=85   very aggressive or wait/pounce
There u go!
Now if someone can figure out what is needed to make the custom levels
work with 2 two player mode please let me know. From what I gather (thanks
to an expert's input) you need 8 start things and 3 coop things plus
reactor thing in a level to keep it from crashing. Unfortunately Devil has
a major flaw here. The coop thing does not work for me. Every time I try
to insert a coop I crash :(
Some please let me know if it's possibel to insert a co-op thing using
Devil. I hope the author of devil reads this and fixes it. BTW Devil is
AWESOME even with the mentioned bugs
