What is FG1?

Right then guys. I'm planning on doing Scrabania again. I'm not remixing my edit. I'm going to start fresh. I'll be nice. Can't remember who said it (MeechCrunchies if memory serves me right) but they said they wanted to see Scrabs. Well Scrabs will be present. Before I start do I need to add the SCRAB.BAN file to prevent the game from crashing?

Yupp.
Also, make it frightening with the scrabs, like make the player nervous to go to the next screen for fear of getting mauled and eaten. >=D

JennyGenesis, I can't play on your variation. It crashes as soon as I select 'Scrabania' on Level Select. Please could you upload a save file to the start of your variation? Thanks. :)

I know I was being picky, and I apoligized for it. I just wanted to remind people to use my system, which is much preferable to saying your own random difficulty, as seperate variations can easily be compared using my system. If everyone said a random difficulty, there wouldn't be any point in saying, because @%"&ing hard for one person, may be easy for another person.

Stop spamming and double-posting useless things onto my thread. This thread is only for discussing and posting variations. We don't want a joker here.

Please don't ask those sort of questions here. Only ask questions about variations on this thread. Any questions about the making of variations, ask on '.lvl files', or similar.

And when will be your 3rd edition of Scrabania released?

OK, but don't try to destroy my mind.

I'm reporting you for excessive double posting........

Double post its like twice as ass***e shit happends but don't do it on purpose use da edit button. And also that epic screen with abe and scrab *faints as well*

How about we leave the modding to the mods, eh?

So I've started production on my NEW Scrabania variation. Sadly I've run into a problem on the second screen in. But I HAVE made a post in the .lvl files thread so as soon as I get a solution to my problem I can continue working.

Make more traps, please

Why? Were those red arrows in Scrabania and stockyard Return not enough for you :p

I hate type of you! Not enough! People want more!

Well SOOOOOORRRRRYYYYYY!!!!!!! I can't just keep pumping out levels every 2 seconds you know! Editing levels (to a good standard) takes time you know. Read my post again and you will see I need a solution to a problem before I can continue work on my new Scrabania variation

Gishy,
would you kindly shut the hell up?

Thank you.

You need solution of this problem(I don't talk with Meeche's meat)?
Ask Paul - private message.
The same problem people will have, if they save lvl, when the game is playing.
I could edit all parts of scabania.
PAUL HELPS EVERYBODY.

Why do I need to PM Paul? The .lvl files thread is the place to go to ask for help. Which I have done.

Yes DON'T PM me if you can ask it in the thread, I don't like tons of PM spam :P Plus most of the time someone else can help.

Well then.
I'm going to completely ignore Gishy and anything he has to say from now until the day the forums collapse.
Aside from that,
I'm working on a new Exoddus level.
Should be pretty innovative. :D

DAMN! You got some balls to be working on Exoddus. Whenever I try that I get nothing but problems.

Yet another screen (one of factory's entries):

HOLY HELL THAT IS FANTASTIC! But one question. Assuming that Abe must walk beyond that electric fence how does he "walk" through the part where the electric fence is. There is no floor. See what I mean? But that's jsut me getting fussy :p

Definately the best work I have seen so far

It's assumed that he walks right on top of those porcelain insulators that are holding the arcing horn. Stepping on those would be a bad idea even with the voltage offline but who cares about safety rules on Oddworld :p. But I can make a pit there to jump over if you think it's a better idea.

That would make more sense.

Awesome screen ;D! Are you actually making some sort of level/demo out of these?

I have 7 complete screens incorporated into r1.lvl so far (I've not much time for this). There's a small puzzle with a goal to turn off the electric arc and enter the facility. I just don't know whether this is enaugh to be a demo.

And the whole thing is going to be an addon with a simplistic plot of infiltrating glukkon chemical facility (How about the facility's shutdown leading to an ecological catastrophe due to Abe traditionally shutting down ALL the power and complicated technological processes going fubar:D?).

(Munchie meat is - freak!)Wow!If you finish this level, it will be super

Nice idea, sort of like nuclear power plants coolant being turned off and going into melt down?

Yes, that's it. That's like you have a reservoir with high-pressure process going on inside and suddenly loose all the controls over it due to massive electrical power failure. Messing around with continuous technological processes involving hazardous materials is no good.

Wow dude!
How are you creating these CAM images?
I'd love to do something similar :)

They're 3D renders (much like OWI's). Besides if you like you could participate in my modification if you can come up with some interesting puzzle designs (i.e. draw paths that I'll build in 3D) as I'm not good enaugh in puzzle and storyline stuff.

I would absolutely love to help (:
I'd like to help you come up with some puzzle designs ^.^

Meech! Don't forget the big red arrows ;)

Admiral Zaarin, I must say you work is absolutely superb, and i'd love to be able to sample your work sometime!

And JennyGenesis, I just played your Scrabania level, and it was thoroughly enjoyable, and I didn't seem to encounter any problems, the only part that confused me is when you have the shaman ring and you explode all the stuff in the screen, but the slig stays alive, took me a while to figure out to stay in the screen and posess him xD Very confusing in parts, but that's what makes a damn good Abe level! looking forward to your next.

That's great;) So we have a chemichal factory and by now I have all the entrance path complete (7 screens that end with a door). Next there's going to be a sort of zulag hub or something. I'll PM you the most basic points of the plot tomorrow. Also I'll mention some game engine and editor limitations that we have to deal with.

Edit: Should I make a 7-screen demo or wait untill more screens are complete?

I'd love for you to post the demo soon,
i really wanna play it ^.^

You possesed the Slig!? I didn't think that was possible. Your not supposed to posses the Slig. He dies in the explosion when you release the ring.

I did indeed, you see it confused me aswell, I tried releasing the ring about 3 times, and every time the slig would survive, and just stand there turning from left to right screaming, and each time i'd run off before he noticed me there. But then on the fourth attempt when he yet again survived, I realized if I chanted, he wouldn't notice that I was there, then I just possessed and exploded him, and then moved on.

Maybe i'm just too good at beating the system! ;)

Well the idea is to wait on screen. You won't get killed by any explosions and the Slig wont shoot you. He will just do his little dance shouting HELP!

I think you misunderstood me, I did wait whilst I released the ring, but the slig would survive anyway, as if the bombs around him weren't effecting him, then once the debris had flown off the screen and it was just me and the slig left I'd run away before he noticed me, but it was like he was stuck in his own bubble so I possessed him and he didn't even shout Freeze! or anything. It might be just mine that's doing it though, i've known my copy of the game to be very temperamental.
