Well guys. I'm open again. What level shall I edit next?

MeechCrunchies 03-26-2011 01:17 PM

I say paramonia.
But can you answer my previous question, please?

JennyGenesis 03-26-2011 01:59 PM

My only answer is that I use Paul's Level Editor 0.6

MeechCrunchies 03-26-2011 02:02 PM

I tried using that. But when i put the .lvl file back into the game it just appears as if nothing has changed. zip. nada. none :O

JennyGenesis 03-26-2011 02:05 PM

Make suer you set the objects to load in the correct screen. That is teh most common mistake

MeechCrunchies 03-26-2011 02:17 PM

how do i do that??

JennyGenesis 03-27-2011 01:27 AM

Click on an object. In the properites box there should be something that says "Screen to load in"

Jango 03-27-2011 02:49 AM

Your variation certainly lives up to its difficulty of being 'HARD'! It's good. I like t how you fully edited the level. I also like the lights and tricks that yu have in there; it makes it interesting! Very well done. :)

RuptureFarms I? I'd love to see someone else do a full one. :)

Since when I have not done that?

Sorry Jango but MeechCrunchies has already asked me to edit Paramonia so I will start working on that one. Besides, as previously stated I will not edit Rupturefarms I. I'm not sure if anybody else has this problem but whenever I edit that level it is extremly glitchy and crashes alot. However I would happily edit 2 3 4 and The Boardroom

Other people don't, so it is good that you do so. :)

Ok! I'd love to see someone else do a RuptureFarms II variation! After you've finished doing Paramonia. :)

Path 1 of Paramonia finished. Not sure if anybody else has this problem but when I edit path 2 of Paramonia the cams are not showing up in the editor so I'm finding it quite difficult to work with.

EDIT: The screens with the errors as mentioned above crash when playing the game. So I'm working on Scrabania instead. However I need some help. I have added my own checkpoints but whenever I spawn as these checkpoints only Abe spawns. What properties do I need to set on the respawn point so that Elum spawns aswell?

I've never encountered this problem. Also, please ask for help in the .lvl files thread! People in this thread won't be able to help you as well. :)

JennyGenesis 03-27-2011 06:00 AM

Well I'm busy working on Scrabania. Once it's finished, has its difficulty verified and it's released then I'll enquire help in the .lvl files thread

MeechCrunchies 03-27-2011 11:09 AM

Do you think you could do a Scrabania/Scrabanian Temple duel edit?
I'd love to see the difficulty of that awful, awful place ramped up a couple 'o dozen notches >=)

JennyGenesis 03-27-2011 12:01 PM

Well I'm working on Scrabania.

But my gorgeous little fans I have to be a little honest with you

I have made a variant of the first part of the Scrabania Temple (The part with all the background sligs) and I have edited one door in there. However the door is poorly edited and its a bit poop to put it politely and I have to be honest again I really cannot be arsed to finish it on my own unless somebody fancies working together on it.

Now because I love you all so much here is the edited Paramonia file. As you know this is on halt because a certain screen crashes the game (even though it's not edited). But because I'm a nice guy you can enjoy playing the part I did complete. The variant starts from the very first screen and ends at the screen with the Slog. Enjoy Everybody :)

HINT:Hit the timed mine

(Jango if you think this affects my rep of completing whole levels think again :p)

MeechCrunchies 03-27-2011 12:59 PM

I could help you out if i could get someone to help me with oddysee level editing. :P

JennyGenesis 03-28-2011 07:54 AM

I really cannot see how editing Oddysee would be different to editing Exoddus

MeechCrunchies 03-28-2011 02:32 PM

Well the last time i edited an exxodus level, it involved using Liji's editor and splitting up .path files and then having to rejoin them using the level builder, and i just didn't know that Paul's editor was so damn simple to use..:fuzblink:

MeechCrunchies 03-28-2011 02:37 PM

Mmkay guys, i'm making a Paramonia Nests edit. I hope you all enjoy it :D

JennyGenesis 03-28-2011 10:48 PM

Number 1:Edit button

Number 2: Just a quick question guys. What did you think of the part of Paramonia I did edit?

MeechCrunchies 03-29-2011 01:11 PM

i can't delete posts :/

Phylum 03-29-2011 04:41 PM

You can't, but in the future use the edit button.

JennyGenesis 03-30-2011 01:38 AM

UPDATE:Scrabania now 80% complete. This has been by far the most anoying level to edit

MeechCrunchies 03-30-2011 03:32 AM

How is it annoying?

JennyGenesis 03-30-2011 06:12 AM

Testing. It's anoying when it comes to testing parts because the level is so damn long it's a pain that I have to make my way to the parts I wanna test. I can't use -ddcheat when riding Elum. I can't make a save at a particular checkpoint make a change then load the save because the objects will not appear and because it's a struggle having to work around these checkpoints because I still can't get Elum to spawn from the one's I have placed

UPDATE:Around 95% complete now. Just need to fix the programing on some Sligs then it shall be sent to Jango to have it's difficulty verified. You really do not wanna know how pissed off I have gotten trying to program wells.......

MeechCrunchies 03-30-2011 01:17 PM

Hey send it to me, lol i volunteered first.

You could always do a path trans right to where you need to be ;)

JennyGenesis 03-30-2011 01:39 PM

DOH! Why on earth didn't I think of that!? Besides, I'm not sure how to program it to take it right to where I need it to take me

MeechCrunchies 03-30-2011 02:20 PM

Is it finished yet? :D

Take a look at the ones already in use, basically it will be the same level id you just change the camera id to the screen you want to go to, and make sure the path id is the one you want to go to, I think you need an elum trans too otherwise he gets left behind
