Spawn the boss like in the final sector?

Post by Absu »

I've been trying to get the boss to appear before the final sector but it doesn't seem possible. If I set all the sectors in sector_data.xml to match the final one the repair-nodes and so spawn but there's no boss moving around. In the events_boss.xml there also only seem to be the dialogues that appear in the final sector and nothing to actually control the boss.

As far as my testing goes, most elements of the final boss are hard-coded. The exceptions are the layout of the ship at each stage, the sprite, and some of the text (found in the final sector .xml file).
