I went back to my V1 Shatterhand 3dn and re-imported it. spent god knows how long tweaking UI scripts, enemies in the first stage again and trying to get somewhere. i haven't got very far past first stage mind you but most of the first stage should be done (including a chunk of the boss animations and at least two powerup robots).
.Sav file to get to the post stage 1 select screen.
notes on the script in the file: if you want the UI to ignore an element (if you're modifying it), just tag the element (no matter the layer) as "background" (no quotes).
