DJ9000DEVIL please do not double post ;)

That was super epic and kinda eerie :lol:

Stop double posting, you may be new but thats not an excuse for ignorance. Double posting is classed as spam here and you will end up with a refraction if you continue.

Paul hasn't been here for a while like I said and mabey only one or two members here will be able to help you out. Please, post and wait for a reply. If you need to edit your post look for the button under the post you wish to modify.

If no one answers then contact administration or a modorator. Xaviar knows a fair bit about this I think.

If you need help on using the CAM tools or whatever, it requires use of the cmd.exe and even then it's long and tedious. It can be quite good though, like when you see the end result...i've probably posted this before but no one quoted it so:

actualy i know how to edit the backgorunds! but the problem is i can't add it in the game just lik u did!
by the way does anybody find out how to edit the sprites (ban files)?

can someone answer me! i've been waiting 2 days for an answer!
how can i edit a backgorund in AO and add it to the game without making the game crash!!!

umm i want to download that mod but do i haveto create a account for filehost just to download it? plz help and i also cant view the screenshots

Help me with building a .lvl with level builder!!
 

Hey people i am using the cam tools and the level extractor and for some reason when i try to build a .lvl it wont let me and the cmd command prompt would say:

Searching for files in directory r1
Error collecting files
Found 0 files

Preparing files
prepared files

writing files
wrote files -done

what am i doing wrong? please help people!!!! :confused: :confused:

Hey paul
could you please help me with the level builder when ever i try to build a level with it i get a cmd command prompt saying:

Searching for files in directory r1
Error collecting files
Found 0 files

Preparing files
prepared files

writing files
wrote files -done

what am i doing wrong????

Paul has been inactive for a while, it dosent look like he's coming back unfortunatly.

well do you know how to build a level then? if so help plz

Nope.

I don't think you can actualy make levels with Pauls program, only read and edit sprites and sounds but I'm not sure, have a look through this thread for more information.

i don't think u can "build" a level i think u can just edit the sprites and the backgrounds and replace them with any level! :D
is that right?! :confused:

what are you actually doing DJ9000DEVIL?

what do u mean with "what r u doing"? :confused:
edit: how can i edit the sprite or extract the sprites? and edit backgrounds and stuff and then add them to the game ? :confused:

Chubfish is the only person to my knowlage who knows the most about that kind of thing.

Also MA is saying why are you repeating my post proberbly.

i think that "sligstorm" knows that too! :D
and well in ur post u forgot to say "edit backgorounds" :D

You can't can you?

yes u can just like "chbfish"and "sligstorm" ;)

He left the forums beacause the Lvl. files and the level creater was near impossible so he gave up and left.

Such a shame, he was a great Member.

what!?...left?!
:(

This has probably been asked a thousand times, but what is OWI's stance on releasing engine files for AO and AE? Do they have a specific reason why they don't want to? It's been over 12 years, you'd assume they could at least just toss us their old stuff.

Well they said to me they can't access their AO and AE assets because "there deeply buried in our archives".

So in other words, there proberbly on a magnetic tape somewhere gathering poisonus dust.

It is ‘archived’. It would require effort to dig it out and make it consumer-presentable, especially since they have no programming staff. And they would get what out of it? Obviously nothing they particularly prioritize.

I thought it would be in a place where they would be able to get it easily. I mean, how hard can it be to find something digital?

They wouldn't get anything out of it I guess, except for fans being able to create their own puzzles which would own to infinity. It would keep us entertained until they release their movies :p.

This + a readme :p

Even if we had it, it would take a while for anyone to sus it.

Well, Phylum, Paul got pretty damn far with just the basic stuff from the game before he gave up on it. You'd be surprised how many people can backwards engineer pieces of coding.

hey man im finding it hard to follow your msg on how to use the camtool.exe can you or some one explain to me how to use it as im loosing my mind trying to

reply a.s.a.p plz

Please read the posts people have made. Paul has given up and isn't active anymore.

he left before he make the "GUI version"! WTF?
now who'll do it?! :fuzsad:

i would think that someone with Paul's skills would have something far more important to see to. like work.

is that a quote from Paul?

i was a hacker! but i lost my skills cause i left hacking for along time :(

really then PLZ help me to learn how to edit AO's "lvl" files and the sprites and then add them to the game :)

The italics were to emphasize my sarcasticness.

Sorry ;)
