Haha.  You might use Ctrl-Alt-Shift-C to enter the Cheat menu and the 
'I' to activate the Invincible-mode for the influencer, so that nothing 
will hurt him any more.  But since the droid south of the back exit has 
been deactivated for testing purposes it should not be so very difficult 
any more, iff you're quick :-)

Also in the third mission (you can immediately 'solve' a mission with 
the 'M' key) you might encounter Helmholtz-alpha, gamma and delta and 
also Newton, the mechanic in the reactor room.

Yes, that might be a good idea.  Perhaps that would also help a bit with 
the little problem of the droids 'floating' in the air, when they have 
wheels or tracks, though that's not really a problem.

It can do mpeg-1 and some other animations rather easily I think.  Would 
  that help?  See ya, jp.
