#I just want to have the latest working version of this game — AirXonix, not shareware...

Basically I collected most of the working versions of this game except the last one, the last one, even if you register, doesn't let you play the whole game, just reverts you to the main menu forcefully... Here, on their official site you can find the latest shareware version: https://www.axysoft.com/airxonix/
I also sent the latest working release (still need to register), here's the registration name and code:
matan6666
f5JR-F8HI-TKpt-dEKa0
If possible, I want the... installer to install it pre-registered, if not, doesn't matter, I just wanted to make the tool assisted speedrun of the game and I need the pre-registered installer for that (working exe is enough for me).
There is also a working version which pretty much is the latest one, but under a different distributor (Alawar), here's the link: https://archive.org/details/alawar_202012#:~:text=AxySnake and AirXonix : AxySoft : Free Download, Borrow, and

Thanks in advance.

Four different games on two different languages.

Ohey AirXonix, I know that game. Wasn't there an older TAS made of it? I'm not the help you wanted on it, just recognized it seeing as I'm moderator for AxySnake and all.

but I'd want to make the one on the latest version

#

and maybe improve it by knowing how the game works or something

#

Like... RNG is completely random

#

and I have no choice but to... I guess hope for the best

#

also, I'm planning to make the TAS for axysnake too, if you are a professional player who can help me, you can participate in the production of the perfect axysnake TAS @sturdy knoll

Oh yeah, so you are that person then, I recognize the name now. I am not that active with speedrunning anymore and I've never been too indepth on the topic of TAS, but keep me posted on that. I know there is actually a copy of AxySnake that was fully registered by default and I was wondering if it's exactly the same, technically, as the final shareware version from the official website.

#

There's a greater than zero percent chance for AxySnake to crash itself in levels with bees, because at random a bee will spawn right where the player starts the level and will sting them and push them back OOB, which the game doesn't like.

@cedar pollen So I see on the AxySoft site that AirXonix's latest version there is a 1.45, and by contrast, the versions on CD out there are a 1.36 and 1.37, more of the latter than the former.

#

wondering if they messed up the coding of that final version and it doesn't register properly. Like as far as I'm aware, AxySoft is abandoned and you can't officially purchase games anymore, but the website is still up.

#

not that I'd know how to fix that, I just know that the other game I mess with, AxySnake, doesn't seem to have such an issue and there may not be any difference between that version on their site and the known CD releases.

#

There isn’t much of a difference on airxonix either

#

Just highest quality music

#

And UI changes

#

And added shine on items

sturdy knoll
#

yeah they had like their own custom container, I remember, and the music is just looped audio files of some sort

#

Can axysnake work smoothly on pentium 2 450mhz & 3dx voodoo 3 3000 though?

#

mmh, I've never done TAS stuff before. I'd be curious to see what you do with it. My experience mostly boils down to discussing stuff about PC TAS work prior to and during the early rise of LibTAS

#

AxySnake is the same engine tech as AirXonix so I assume it'll work just fine with PCem

#

And PCem

prior to that it was some crappy (but accurate enough) DOS emulator stuff and hourglass whatever

BTW you should maybe change the title of this post, it's a bit vague for people who might wanna help you

cedar pollen
#

Well, the point still stands, I want AirXonix to be cracked

I just want to have the latest working version of this game — AirXonix, not shareware...

sturdy knoll
#

yeah that works

#

anyways I'm not saying I wanna get too involved with it but I'd be happy to give ideas for the TAS

cedar pollen
#

I have my discord server about abandonware, I'm moderator of AirXonix speedrun.com :)

sturdy knoll
#

although really I only have one

cedar pollen
sturdy knoll
#

not really, this is the least glitchy game I've ever ran

#

though going to my one idea

#

which is just speculative BTW never confirmed it

cedar pollen
sturdy knoll
#

but what if the exit trigger always exists?

#

what if you could get pushed OOB into the exit trigger?

cedar pollen
#

How so?

sturdy knoll
#

that's the idea really, and I've never tested it, sounds like a frustrating thing to figure out

#

the bees at random, if they spawn near the player when the level starts, can sting you and push you OOB, but this crashes the game.

#

the snake always retches backwards along the path of its tail, and normally if you're "curled" that means the snake retches backwards at an angle

#

what if you could perfectly align the snake straight with the exit area behind him, and get stung enough times to get clipped? can we do that?

#

this is pure theory and I would only put it in the realm of TAS if at all

#

heck maybe the snake angle is more forgiving than that but iunno

#

there's RNG at play there

cedar pollen
#

I'll call ya, if you'll be able to VC when I do it (not so soon, TASing tumblebugs currently)

sturdy knoll
#

sure thing

#

well, messaging would be easier

cedar pollen
sturdy knoll
#

well you can also just show me what you're doing in VC no voice necessary

cedar pollen
#

Yeah

#

I'm not sure how axysnake really works though... does pressing down and left/right together do anything like more intense rotation when the snake is always facing away from you?

#

Or is the downward just for when the camera isn't locked?
