I assume that so far you have gotten to checkpoint in the screen with the "Chant Here" sign.

Yep. I keep dying though so I've given up.

JennyGenesis 04-30-2011 11:05 AM

LMAO!!!! Already? Can't get past the Scrab can you?

It's not funny!!! It's because I haven't played AO or AE in such a long time that I'm not used to it.

JennyGenesis 04-30-2011 11:23 AM

Then remove the Scrab :P and yes it is rather funny when you are in my position.

That feels too cheaty in my opinion. It won't make me suck at the game less either.

Meh, do what i did keep doing it again and again again and again again and again again and again again and again again and again!Until you finally rage and go hack with Its_me_your_father past that screen THEN continue as per usual.

I think if anyone was to keep doing something as much asyou said I'm pretty sure they'd get pretty annoyed if they weren't progressing.

Yeah, I'm by the end of it my keyboard was missing a few buttons, and that's why i enabled its_me_your_father.Lol also nice work on the level variation board.

The thing is what happens if I lose my shift and tab key?! I have no cheats!

Also...
Thanks. Hopefully the list will help people find levels easier.

JennyGenesis 05-01-2011 05:49 AM

I honestly would have believed that people could easily get past that Scrab by now. I perfected that screen on the 2nd attempt. Had anybody actually made it to the screen after the Scrab yet? it's a real evil one :)

I tried again today and forgot how I got past that mine after you sneak past the slig! I tried possessing the slig on the next screen by using the secret door but he just blows himself up on the UXB! :fuzconf: I bet the solutions real obvious as well.



Here's the screen it's on...

The mine behind the thingy. As soon as you hoist up there you blow up.

Also, what's with the dodgy floor in the background where the first secret usually is. I just fell through the floor for no reason!

BTW: How did you get the glowing red lights?

JennyGenesis 05-01-2011 06:37 AM

WOAH! Slow down Sammy! A lot of question's there!

Yes the floor to the first secret is missing. Completly my fault as I accadently messed with the wrong colission paths sorry.

The idea is to go into the door on the screen you posted and start chanting immediately. On my play tests if you chant immediately the Slig will not run into the UXB. The idea is to possess him and then run him into the mine.

The red lights are easy. Just place a light effect and set it to Flint Door.

Thanks for the help. I'll try that in a min.
I was wondering what flint door was... I'll try that too.

I started on a new variation on RuptureFarms I. I added a bunch of stuff in to try and make it harder than yours! So far it's going quite good. When I've finished I post it on the Level list...

Chubfish 05-01-2011 07:01 AM

Just remember that my variant is hugely unfinished, even now. I'm working on something else however...

Will be really hard like before? I like challenging levels, they more fun because they take a while to complete.

EDIT:
JennyGenesis please say this is the last screen!

You have no idea how many deaths it took for me to get there.
The scrab was really annoying. Are you supposed to kill the scrab because I did that and it was much easier.
Also the two patrolling sligs and slog took the most tries. I knew what to do but every time the slig shot me. The slog was easy though but the sligs are the worst.
I had fun with it though, especially disarming all those UXBs after the scrab.

Hmm...I'm thinking of setting up a second thread that is exclusively for posting finished variations onto. Not for dicussing and trialling, which this thread seems to be more about.

What do you guys think? It would be an easier way to group together all of the finished levels without having to keep updating a single post, then eventually not being able to edit it anyway.

The thread would be for uploading finished variations, and nothing else. Would it be a good idea? :)

So this one could just be talking about the levels and the new one is for all the new levels people create to go on to? Seems like a good idea. That way you can include the list of levels on the first post and it would be easier to find them and add them rather than scanning through this.

If you want I could make convert the list onto there since you're having editing problems...

Yeah, this thread will be for posting trials/demos/unfinished variations and discussing them. The other one will be for variations that are finished and don't need anymore verifying or discussion. The feedback can then be posted onto this thread, or through personal message. I'll go and set up the thread now. :)

The thing is people have already posted their levels in here, and first time people mind read the thread title and first post and continue posting levels so...
When should we expect the thread to be up?
and...
Will you be able to change the thread title and/or edit the first post to link to the new thread?

Jango 05-01-2011 11:28 AM

It'll be up very soon (like 10 minutes). Unfortunately you cannot edit a post after a certain amount of time, so people will have to post their level onto the new thread themselves.
I have made a very strict and clear set of rules to make sure the new thread doesn't get bogged down, like this one has done.

Yep :) you were supposed to kill the Scrab.

Good. So was that the end of the level?
The strange thing was, the first time I went through the scrab. I don't know how but I've never been able to do it again.
Still it's an awesome level. Are you planning to do more extremely difficult levels in the future?

Jango 05-01-2011 11:56 AM

OK, my new thread is up, look at my signature for the link straight to it!

Nice!
I probably would've been finished with a new level today but for some reason the game crashes on the second screen and I don't know why.
I'll hopefully get it fixed though...

End of the level? Far from it. GO BEAT THE ENTIRE THING! As with all my variations they are FULL edits.

God, I thought I'd done it.
That's my day gone then :p.

JennyGenesis 05-01-2011 01:02 PM

The end of the variation is the same as the original level. Where you jump off the cliff.

I'd like to see somebody do a let's play of this variation. It would be awesome to see how much people suck at it :p

I can if you want.
Be aware I'll suck at it though.

JennyGenesis 05-01-2011 03:19 PM

That would be awesome. Like I said. I wanna see people suck at it :p So go on do a let's play of you sucking it at it! BADLY!

Hey!!
Guess what!!
I finally done it!
In your face!

And it only took 28:34 minutes to do!
I'm going to upload it in a min...
Sorry there's no sound, it decided to record the mic and I wasn't really saying anything (thank god I sound really bad on a mic).

Oh yeah, I fell for the red arrows once! But still I sucked at it...

EDIT:
HERE'S TEH VIDEO!

If you're actually mad enough to sit and watch me fail over and over again for almost 30 minutes, make sure you have time and are sitting comfortably.

I just saw (as I was uploading the video)that the first LED screen makes no sense. It says about picking up grenades from a BOOM machine but I finished the whole level and there wasn't 1 BOOM machine in the whole thing.
Also, MOON LED!
