I want to share these files with the world before I risk losing any of them again...

Back in 2000, I had created a con file for Lameduke that enabled the unused Mandroid enemy in the game. At some point in time I had lost the mandroid con file (but not the others?) so earlier this year I made another one (20 years later). It's sort of the same as the one that I had originally made but I feel that it isn't currently 100% finished, but it is in a usable state none the less.

So, if you've ever wanted to play Lameduke with the Mandroid being more than just a statue, here's your chance to do so. I'm also including a game launcher (lameduke.bat) that you can use to select several options prior to loading the game.

Just drop the con files into your Lameduke folder* and then run lameduke.bat. You can jump straight to a map that has the mandroids by loading up v2l4.

*Backup the original/existing con files in the Lameduke folder if you have any concerns and want to revert back to the original versions later.

SpaseHead has a mandroid fix of his own:



I'm not sure if his is the same as yours, though.

I've never seen another one before. Neat.

The original that I'd made in 2000 was a little more polished, and finished off a bit better than the current one, but it is what it is for the moment. If I make any more updates to this iteration I'll add a newer download here later.

One thing I've noticed in that video is that the mandroid doesn't start to walk until after he's been shot. I briefly had that same issue when I was was making this file, but I fixed that.

Two issues that I do know of in my current file are the following:

1) The mandroid spam fires his rockets at you. (I'll probably fix this some time soon)
2) He does this weird twirl/flip 2 or 3 times during his dying sequence (I might fix this, or I might leave it cuz it's kind of comical LOL)

Here's a video of the current state of my files for comparison:

It's only three years later, but here's a small update that I think will cut down on the spamming of rockets being fired by the mandroids.

I haven't tested it out much, but for the little bit that I did try it it did seem somewhat better than it was before. Here's the current updated set of files:  Lameduke_ReplacementCONs_2023-07-06.7z (9.58K)
