Aliens Sentry Gun Program (old version 1.0)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 тра 2009
- There's a new version here: • Aliens Sentry Gun Prog...
UA-cam won't allow annotations to be edited, so the website shown is wrong. It should be:
www.paul-kitching.uk/thecolony... - use this to get my contact details if you want a copy.
This is a simulation of the Sentry Gun configuration program as used by Hicks in the film Aliens. It simulates a corridor with Aliens entering at the other end (and sometimes dropping from the roof closer to the gun) and running/crawling towards you. All this in internal to the program (so you have to use your imagination), but it seems to do the job nicely :-)
It is written in AMOS Pro on an Amiga.
You can move the cursor around the screen and select the options (and guns A to D). Some of the options do actually make a difference (choose between auto and manual firing, targeting mode etc.) When you arm it you go to the second screen where the action is.
It's best viewed full screen, so you can read it properly.
For more info on this, and other Aliens related projects, see my site:
www.paul-kitching.uk/thecolony...
** If you want a copy of this to run on a PC (using an emulator) or Amiga, then please email me (see my site for details), and I'll email you back. **

V1.1 Now corrects the ammo counter. It should always show three digits, e.g. 005 instead of 5.
Updated 04/06/2011
V1.5 fixed the flashing "Critical" to flash with "reversed video" text, and added a settings screen to change number of Aliens, amount of ammo, stats screen on/off, gun sounds on/off, and a continuous play mode so it can be left running on its own.
The sentry gun scene is one of my favorites. "Aliens" is set in the late 22nd century, but the computer is drawn in the image of MS-DOS, which was the mainstream in the 1980s.
Good Job. They have a version of these guns in South Korea, pointing north, and they are intelligent and self firing...
i think targetting profile soft/hard etc refers to how the programmable ammo should be configured to act, it can act like a hollow point against soft targets or like an armor-piercing round against hard targets, this is exactly how the smartgun is supposed to work in Aliens lore too
I just had a nerdgasm...I love Aliens and I love Amiga and other retro computers! I think I'm gonna go download it now and play it on WinUAE!
An Amiga? Wow! That's a name I haven't heard in a while!
Game Over Man, Game Over!!
very cool the remote sentry scenes are some of my favorites.
Sad news. I've just heard that Bill Paxton who played the fantastic Hudson in Aliens has died :-(
And now we've lost the Sarge. Al Matthews has died.
Sad news...

I digitised all the sounds directly from the film into my Amiga, so what you hear is straight from the real Sentry Gun laptop sounds. Also, the shooting is digitised from one of the scenes where the SG's are shooting. I think I did it from the scene where they are watching the laptops, so it's supposed to sound like you are in a room close by, not stood in the corridor with the guns.
In Battlefield 2142 the Support class soldier has an unlock for a mini clone of one of these type guns you can deploy, to shoot other players. Generally easy to destroy, when two are deployed enfilade pointed at a door opening, they are vicious. Also very vicious when used in trap scenarios, where its hidden, and player walks past it, and it starts shooting them in the back, and you are shooting from the front confusing his brain, or there is a goodie enticement you threw down he is going for in front of him.
CHOPPERGIRL's AIRWAR Who fucking cares
TmoDDD Only people that are intelligent.
CHOPPERGIRL's AIRWAR Only fanboys of a retarded game
Star Wars Battlefront infantry Turret
Wow, this is pretty epic!
I know this is somewhat random, but whenever I picture myself, y'now, "turned on", I think of these sentry guns
Great work :D !
@clikescereal
I know. It concentrates its fire on hard targets and aims more accurately to kill the target with sustained fire. On soft targets, it only fires briefly and isn't as accurate, as they will be injured/killed much more easily with a few bullets.
The descriptions describe the result of choosing the option, not what the target hardness means, if you know what I mean. I tried to keep the text short.
@detlev07 I'm not sure which part you mean, but there is sound whenever the gun fires, and when the Sentry Software changes options, just like on the film. You should be able to hear it clearly on my video.
Well done!
hmm never thought of R(M) meaning range (metres), always thought it was rounds (minute), but range actually makes more sense...
1:20 B Gun's Dry!
@acountddd Unfortunately not. I suppose I could have randomly added an Alien scream when some are killed. It might have been a good addition.
man i love this program if its still avalable id love a copy ...
Okay, you've both talked me into it :-)
I've done a quick vid. It's extremely easy to get WinUAE running, I just hope the video is readable. I'm not too sure how it's going to look. I'll try to get it up in the next day or two. I always include instructions when people email me asking for the program, so it's not usually a problem anyway.
I always assumed "interrogate" more generically referred to a submenu with detailed logs - usage history, errors/malfunctions, operations within and outside of various parameters, lifetime count of rounds expended, etc...
This is great!
Can you please make a screen saver of this, I would totally love it.
If only Hudson read this manual, the Alien sequels or Alien vs. Predator shit would not have been existent.
The Sentry Guns used in the film WERE MG-42's! :-) The speed it overheats in the film is probably there to add a bit of drama, though I have no idea how fast these things heat up.
It’s a shooting gallery down there
Are there any Alien sounds? Like simulating hearing them in the ceiling of your room or something? That would be mundo cool.
very cool.
do you have any other AMOS programs to demonstrate?
You Army dudes, which is the more accurate term, Proximity Gun or Proximity Cannon?
If you can get an Amiga emulator to work on one, then yes. You can try:
FS-UAE - looks up to date. Probably the best
E-UAE - out of date
P-UAE
It won't allow links here, so you'll have to search for them.
I really hope something like this makes its way into Aliens; Colonial Marines.
There is a link to my website in the video description to the right. My email address is on my site (with more info on this program). Email me asking for a copy, and I'll send you instructions on how to run it. An Amiga emulator is required (or a real Amiga).
They really need larger magazine for the turret, the fire can't even hold for 2 minute.
Oh I do like this! Well done you! I'd like a copy but I doubt if it's even still around, being as you posted this in 2009.
I haven't checked these comments for a long time! Yes I'm still giving it out. Email me and I'll send you it.
Sent you an email as suggested. Thanks for this. Best regards.
Come on baby, come on! Damn! Wait wait, they’re retreating!
@thepredatorwinner Yes, that's it. I didn't post it here as it can be read by spam bots and I'll get even more spam than usual. It's hidden in the HTML on my site, so hopefully that doesn't get captured by the email searching programs. I'll delete your message with my email address in later.
Wish we could config sentry guns in games =Y
is there any way 4 me to download this so i can finish my fan bassed flim
you mean the gunsounds are included thx ;)
Stay frosty
This looks great! I am currently building a GUI for a Raspi touchscreen device. I love the clean design... Any hints on a similar free font (I would not mind paying for it, but there is always a chance I will fail in using it)?
I'm not aware of the font anywhere else, though you could do a Google search for "Aliens sentry gun font". I created this one myself as an Amiga bitmap font, so that wouldn't be of any use to you.
Thanks for the reply. I have already done some research on Google, I guess fonts are particularly hard to find. I will search some more and leave some info once my gui is finished. The gui here is a pretty sweet template for my tripod mounted 7 inch touchscreen. Cheers!
It sounds like mg42 is going off or affectionately known as Hitler's buzz saw.
I hope it doesn't require Windows, like many of the billboards nowadays. :D
Well done! Where did you get the fonts? They look just like the movie
I made them. Pixel by pixel!
If you click the link to my site (in the description to this video), you will see my email address at the bottom right, click it and send me a quick message. I'll reply with the info you need. There is also more info about the program on my site.
It is the software you want, right, and not the video clip? Let me know in the email.
Neat! Anybody know if the actual hardware props were early Gridcase laptops? They look like them...
Well I think gridcase computer were used for the Nostromo's screens in the first movie, so if it's the case, it's probably the same thing with these sentries...
Yep. The one used in the film is the GRiD Compass II 1139, as far as I know.
Same here. I have no idea how to use the Amiga emulator. Completely unqualified!
Damn good entertainment ^^
They should've used a water-cooled Vickers .303 ;)
does this work also on mac laptops
Jesus, they are wall to wall in there...
Sweet
can i have it too please? can it run on windows 7 64 bit?
Yes, it runs on Win 7 64 (that's what I use when running it on my Windows PC), but you have to emulate an Amiga to run it. It may be possible to run it on almost anything in the future (without emulation), but that's not definite at the moment.
I have a link to my website in the description, so if you are still interested please click that then you'll see my email address. I don't want to post it here as I may get spam if it's seen by a web crawler bot.
Is it possible to run it in MSDOS or make a version that will work?
I think there were early DOS versions of UAE and Fellow emulators, though I don't know if they would work properly or are still available.
I have a new version that will run without an emulator (on almost anything), but I'm waiting for the language to get the option to save out executable files to run it, as it's currently running in my browser as a test. If DOS could run a graphical Javascript browser game, then it should work with my new one, but I'm not sure if that's possible.
Should have the option to slow the rate of fire. It chews ammo to fast.
Yes, good idea. I made it to be screen accurate, but later versions have lots of options if you want to change things, but changing the rate wasn't one of them. I'll put that in the next version (which will not be emulated, it should work on anything modern).
@@necronom Pretty cool stuff.
Шикардос.
Can you give me please this programm
Hey Jizzmoppper I know how to email but with my yahoo mail I just dont know how to use that outlook express shit because of all the POP3 and ISP Shit
Email me (the link to my site is in the description), and I'll email you back.
is the sound included in this mode ?????
Cobol sure looks good these days
:-) I used to be a Cobol programmer. I wouldn't want to try making this in it.
can u send me the program its really cool
squadrom arm
4:00 Maybe we got 'em demoralized
no version of this available to use on an old dos laptop? :P
No, I don't think a DOS PC can emulate an Amiga.
Long version
Im Actually Intersted in this could you mail me a copy
i dont think the sentry guns would be smart enough to know how many aliens were killed. they would just be programmed to shoot at movement. also in the film the guns did not overheat like that
How it knows how many were destroyed?
If it were real, it would be tracking targets so it can shoot them, so it would know when it's destroyed one, otherwise it would just keep shooting at the one alien and never shoot anything else. Mine knows because it uses randomness in targeting and getting a hit, depending on the distance and where it was previously targeted. It just adds them up and displays the result. I thought it would be interesting to see.

I missed your message with holidays, etc. Could you email me and I'll reply straight away. I don't want messages about this split all over different sites and inboxes. See my site for my email address (link in description).
UNIXで作ったように見える。TKとかで構築したのだろうか？
"It looks like it was made on UNIX. Was it built with TK or something?"
Amiga with AMOS Pro.
thank you そうでしたか。ありがとう。
Send me an email and I'll get back to you. As mentioned above, my email address is on my website.
500 rounds in 33 seconds ... that's almost 1000 rounds per minute!
909 rounds per minute to be exact!
How do I email you im not good with that shit
@thepredatorwinner Email me (link to my website above with my email address). I'll send you the file and instructions on how to run it.
Heh heh very clever.
Excelent effort, 2000 rounds would be interesting...
Just why 500 rounds? That's stupid.
How about 5000 rounds on every turret?
For the film it adds tension to the scenes to have a low amount, but I added an option in my program to allow up to 995 rounds.
necronom
995 rounds sounds a hell of a lot better. It just makes the marines look smarter, taking more ammo with them. 500 rounds is probably how much they shot with their main guns. Lol I think they could have prolonged the scene with more shooting, or could have made the aliens dodge the turrets gun fire, kinda like how they dodged the predators shooting in AVP. But it's whatever. Thanks for responding, and great video btw.
the military hides alot from us
get back to operations it's game time
