Since I just posted meld (sorry about the delay on that), and H's been slipping down anyway, there's really no point in keeping this locked up any longer. An Harquebus is an early type of portable gun supported on a tripod. Eh.. Harquebus is a short lifespan warrior. It is quite tuned against the current hill (or as it was when I last submitted it). Contrary to the strategy lines I'm switching a booted Mini-HSA instead of a the real thing... sorry about any confusion. I was using HSA (SevenEleven, actually) but I was having slight problems with Qscans. Then I found Electric Head with that really nice Mini-HSA. I had tried something similar before, but I was really messing things up. I seem to have that effect on many warriors I try to 'tweak'. As David Moore figured out, I'm using a tweaked Mini-HSA with a step size of 8. I was originally using a step size of 7, but that put Harquebus 'only' in the bottom half of the hill. I sure hope Harquebus isn't a just a lucky stab paGate mov dclr , >paGate djn.f -1 , >paGate sclr2 spl #0 , >Pair-paGate+2667 mov dclr , >paGate mov dclr , >paGate djn.f -1 , >paGate dat >5335 , >Pair-paGate+10 dclr dat >5335 , >Pair-paGate+10 scPair equ (scan+_PDIST-_SDIST) scan add #__mld_STEP*2667-2,paGate-Pair+scPair jmz.f -1 , @paGate-Pair+scPair spl scPair , sptr , >sptr jmn.f swipe , >sptr sscan add #sSTEP , @spptr jmz.f sscan ,
