Ok, looks like I'm going to be the one to say this...how can you of all people tell another member to stop going on and on and on? I mean really.

I could ask you the same question.

STM 12-29-2010 03:23 PM

You could but the reply wouldn't meet your high standards OddHunter and I wouldn't want to incur your wrath at half eleven.

LISTEN, EVEN WITH CHEAT ENGINE YOU CANT POSESS RANDOM OBJECTS!

Then everything is impossible, like being a god in oddworld is impossible in this case.

1. Being able to chant and posses everything you dream to posses
2 .Speedhack for only abe and not for enemies
3. Freeze the time for only enemies
4. Change a mudokon into slig
5. Change the rooms to connect like merging half the
necrum mines with feco depot.

6. Creating new objects in realtime during gameplay
7. Change abe into minecar and use it everywhere
8. Chose and control a specific object on the screen with wasd buttons
9. Modulate the position and rotation angle of objects with sine wave.
10. Abe using slig gunshot

Phylum 12-29-2010 05:24 PM

You've made it clear that, for some reason, you want to be able to do various things in AO and AE.

What do you mean by everything is impossible? It seems to me like you just had a temper tantrum.

Oh, and #4 is potentially possible if you could figure out how to change the state of objects in realtime.

STM 12-30-2010 09:45 AM

Nova man spends too much time in nova gas!

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 12-30-2010 09:52 AM

like phylum said, you could change the state and maybe have abe be anything in the game i think, but you cant just hack and posess anything

Crashpunk 01-13-2011 01:23 AM

I have a question. (This was brought up in the thread 'Slig's Oddysee')

Because the Slig's Masks are connected to there Pants, Do they need there masks to work them?

MeechMunchie 01-13-2011 06:03 AM

No idea. They're probably just connected to the same power source.

Elmatto753 01-13-2011 09:59 AM

How do they control their pants in the first place?

MeechMunchie 01-13-2011 02:05 PM

Muscular contractions in their tails, I suspect. That's how a lot of prosthetic arms work, by shoulder movements.

Crashpunk 01-30-2011 11:02 AM

question: Why can't Mudokons Swim, is it ever explained?

Jordan 01-30-2011 01:00 PM

Because Gabbits can? :D I think it might have been to differ Abe and Munch a little more gameplay-wise. If Abe could swim, then Munch would lose one of his unique abilities. But... this isn't all true, Munch would still be able to jump out of the water into the air and stuff. Other thing I can think of is that Mudokons evolved from birds and some birds can't swim too well.

The great apes excluding humans are known to be poor swimmers. They are not very buoyant and water runs into their nostrils easily. Mudokons might have the same problem. Not with nostrils, obviously, but with buoyancy. They have very little fat that might otherwise keep them afloat, despite their alleged avian ancestry they clearly have no air sacks for breathing, and the mammalian thoracic inflation that appears to facilitate their breathing also seems to rule out a pneumatic humerus.

Crashpunk 02-03-2011 02:33 AM

And another question.
Who is the artist behind the Oddworld artwork such as concept art? I forgot his/hers name :fuzconf:

Xavier 02-03-2011 02:53 AM

Steven Olds: Designed Abe
Farzad Varahramyan: Designed Munch
Raymond Swanland: Designed Stranger

If sligs could look up or down then abe is in serious s**t well if slig shoots up and down

This is a place to ask questions or to post answers. Your post was neither of those.

alluz 02-26-2011 01:14 AM

Well damn sorry xavier. Well i got a question. Why glukkons are like bosses to sligs? Sligs just can shoot em if they get mad and glukkons got no arms to do nothing... well expect their big fat heads

MeechMunchie 02-26-2011 08:40 AM

Sligs lack the will, effort, intelligence and organisational skills to rebel. Besides, everything they want is already provided to them by the Glukkons.

Because if the shot the Glukkons, they would very quickly find themselves without guns, ammo, pants, food and quiet places to sleep. Also, they're petrified of their mother Skillya, who sells them to the Magog Cartel as security guards.

It's the economy, stupid!

Have you heard of the Russian Revolution?

Well i didn't knew thats why i asked don't such offensive to me.. thanks anyways

Gwan-Thwei 02-27-2011 07:18 PM

Qusetion. I finally got an original X-BOX with only one controller. To make the cheat mode active, I need two for a short period of time.
My plan is this:
1. borrow controller
2 activate cheat mode in a game
3. save game from where cheat activation thingey was used
4. finish game
5. delets all saves excepting the one where I activated the cheat enabler thing
6. Replay game from same save, using cheats even after i return the second controller

Will this work?

Rayrockslots 03-08-2011 09:28 PM

Something I should have questioned a long time ago. Why on earth did they have a ZAP vending machine in Munch's Oddysee? Obviously for Munch to use and zap baddies right? So who the hell made them? Why?

Too much thought?

Wil 03-09-2011 02:13 AM

Zap is a sports drink, I do believe. Their placement would be to get people hooked on it.

Phylum 03-09-2011 02:18 AM

I think it would be better to question the ready supply of grenades in a meat processing plant.

Bullet Magnet 03-09-2011 06:05 AM

They probably meet the requirements of an obscure law. The right to bear military-grade explosives in the workplace or something.

STM 03-09-2011 09:24 AM

I think the grenades where never really fluff related, just a game mechanic but if you were to add them into oddworld canon I would suggest that sligs carry them in the possibility of a breakout or emergency, besides the escape of Rupturefarms where you had to destroy the mines by crouching and throwing the bomb down, one should also note that in fact all other bombs are well 'guarded' with multiple sligs.

Bullet Magnet 03-09-2011 06:34 PM

It's worth noting that all the industrial facilities we've seen so far have been outfitted like military operations.

ziggy 04-14-2011 06:33 AM

Isn't RuptureFarms a play on words with some food company that ends with Farms? I thought so but I can't remember what.

I'd say all the grenades and weaponry in every industrial facility is just to make sure that the slave workers either stay and obey or die. Kinda goes without saying, it also gives a very sinister feel to those places when death is around every corner aside from making fun challenging gameplay.

Gwan-Thwei 04-23-2011 09:01 PM

Alright, different question.
In SW, we see that Stranger is without horns. However, the mounted heads in Sekto's office clearly have horns. Did Stranger break his off, or was he born without them, or what?

While we're on that topic, if he has four legs, each pair going in a different direction, how did he manage to walk as if he were bipedal?

One last question: Sekto killed Steef like they were wild animals, and everyone treated them like wild animals, yet the Olden Steef and Stranger know how to talk. I have my own insane theories for this, but what do you think?

metroixer 05-01-2011 07:19 PM

I can answer the first one, in the cutscene where stranger gets caught being a steef the boss outlaw says stranger cut his horns off.

I don't remember that, but I do remember some shit about his absense of horns, so it's believable.

Also, both the mounted steef heads in Sekto's office and the wanted papers for steef display steef with ram-like horns, however the guardian steef in the grubb ruins had cattle-like horns, as did some concept art.
So...which is it?

My other questions are still open for answers BTW.

I think the actual line is "It's a god-dang steef! Been hidin' his legs... ain't got no horns!"

So it's up in the air, but I think that would imply he never grew any in the first place.

Ah, yes, that sounds better.
I always preferred the option of a birth defect for Stranger. Gave him more of a 'tragic backstory' sort of feel.

OOH good question, so clakkers are like chickens, right? So, does that mean that if they get their head cut off, they still run around like one? I remember something in the manual saying something of the sort, but still.

Nate 05-02-2011 10:23 PM

One fan theory was that Stranger was actually a female steef, which would explain both the horns and her small stature.

Xavier 05-03-2011 12:29 AM

It think the horns were cut, a bit like hellboy:
