Normally in the plain PS1 version, when I use invincibility, I possessed that Scrab in the ender and tried to jump it off down to the Slog. Game freezes. I presume it would if you merely tried to even just move it with that cheat thing.
I wish I had the PC version now. Can you pick it up cheaply anywhere (other than the obvious eBay maybe)?

Could some of you post more Scrab glitches aand c*ap soon? I want to see for the ultra lolz! What about flying Sligs too, or a whole swarm of Paramites in one spot (get all of them to the end bit in the wall at the Mudomo Ender. Lol)

Do the miniature Scrabs and stuff still kill you easily, or what happens? Also, can this be tested to see if Scrabs get killed from a height?

Wil 05-07-2007 11:59 AM

Doesn’t work, Chubfish. It can’t be done. You can’t take the Scrab down there without the level resetting or the game crashing.

The trouble with having fun on the PC version is that there is no invincibility cheat. For some characters, there isn’t any opportunity to possess them. Hmmm. If you get the ultra‐bad ending in the PC version of AE, do you still get invincibility?

There are no miniature Scrabs, silly! :p The one Jordan posted was of a Scrab in the background. He’d just shifted it so it seems to be in the foreground. If you were to drop in there, it would just fall endlessly because there is no floor defined.

No: anything you move with the tab key can be dropped absolutely anywhere, and fall extraordinary distances, but won’t die. This includes if there is no floor below Abe. He won’t scream and die, he’ll just fall off the bottom of the screen. Then you have to use the tab key to bring him all the way back up again. Quite tedious.

Jordan 05-07-2007 12:07 PM

It was one of the first things I tried, trying to get the Scrab down there. It does something really weird, it teleports the Scrab back to the ledge and unpossesses it.

Chubfish 05-07-2007 12:09 PM

Damn, I thought it might work but I guess I was wrong...wait a second...how about trying to possess a slig then kill the slogs and afterwards use the -ddcheat thingy to bring him too the scrab! Will it work, though?

I really want the game now for PC...but I ordered PkMn Pearl instead of it so I might be getting Abe's Exoddus for PC for my B'day which isn't that far away. I have thought of another one in the Mudomo Vaults this time. At the start, you learn how to avoid paramites, pull rings, etc...I was thinking about this, so what if you put abe in those places with the pull rings and saw what you could do? It would be funny and a little glitchy too, trapping Abe in those areas. I would love some more screenies too, the ones so far are awesome!

Wil 05-07-2007 12:18 PM

No. It appears the two halves of the Mudanchee Vault Ender are actually two completely separate areas, and only Abe has the ability to get from the first half to the second half. :p

Chubfish 05-07-2007 12:24 PM

Ah...I would have loved to see that happen...ah well :) I still want to know what would happen if you put tons of scrabs in one place, too see if they all enter a 3 way battle (i've done one on Abe's Oddysee) or if you could get anymore on one screen for even more crazier Scrab Battles!

Jordan 05-07-2007 12:40 PM

Heh, wouldn't the game lock up? :p

ZaxXx 05-07-2007 12:50 PM

I will make some ddcheat video(s) tommorow :)

Zerox 05-07-2007 12:52 PM

If there's 3 or more Scrabs one a screen, two fight and the other one just stands there and waits for them to finish. Done it myself.

Isn't there ANY kind of mod or patch available with invincibility for the PC one? And why wasn't it programmed in if it was in the PSX one?

Alex2405 05-07-2007 11:31 PM

I wonder what happens with -ddcheat and that scrab...
By, the way!I used -ddcheat with Abe and got him up to the MAX!!!Then i dropped him, he didn't die!!!!!!
I saved 999 Mudokons with the save editor and killed 0!
:D :D :D :D :D
But i don't like that:if Abe dies with -ddcheat on, he will still walk, or just jump, and at the smallest fall he crushes!!!
By the way, don't use -ddcheat too much, it can make your P.C. crush, but, using it not too much will never make it crush!
P.S.:I'm from Romania, so i don't spell English too good, i hope you will understand me!
:D
By the way, i would like a trainer with Shrykull ring too!
Too bad!
:(
Too bad it dosen't work at Glukkons and Paramites too!
:( :( :( :( :( :(
It works the BEST on Abe!
:) :) :) :) :) :)

Yeah, it only makes your PC crash if you repeat things that you know make errors. The reason Abe doesn't die from a really high distance is because the game interprets that he's still on that part of the floor, and when you drop, it acts as if you only jumped. Also, pack it up with the smilies, my internet aches.

Chubfish 05-08-2007 08:32 AM

Has anyone tryed tabbing inside a mine cart? Just checking...

Wil 05-08-2007 09:03 AM

Yes. You can’t move it.

Although you can render Abe perfectly invisible if you tab before he emerges from a doorway. Enemies can still see him, but all you can see is the dust he disturbs as he moves.

Jordan 05-08-2007 09:25 AM

It also happens if you die by falling from a height and then you TAB him. You have to jump into a well or go through a doorway to fix it.

I just played Necrum and I got to the part where you jump in the background wells, and I pressed TAB, and dropped Abe in another well, and he came out in Necrum Mines... Weird!

Wil 05-08-2007 09:52 AM

That is weird. Could you detail which wells in particular? Screen codes might help. I’m drafting a guide to the fun that can be had with -ddcheat. :D

Xavier 05-08-2007 09:56 AM

yay some more awesome content for TOL :p

Zerox 05-08-2007 11:04 AM

Ultra lawl.

I got something similar to the invisible thing...through using the greeter glitch, sometimes all I end up with is the dust and a shadow on the floor. Really irritating.

Is there any other mods in the game? I was just wondering if you could possess Fleeches or do weird stuff.
What if you TAB while Abe is through the act of possessing? (when the orbs are flying towards the target)

You know where there's that four way intersection in Necrum where you have to light the story stone lanterns? You have to go on the top left and jump in the well. When Abe is in his tiny form, TAB him and drop him in the well that you just shot out of. It takes him to the area with the wheels in Mines.

I also noticed something weird, if you die, and then TAB, go near a Slig and chant when there is a security orb nearby, it will keep zapping Abe, but he can still possess things. It's a really neat trick. :)

Alex2405 05-09-2007 12:08 AM

I love ,,-ddcheat'', ,,The Trainer'' and ,,Save Editor''!!!
:D

Alex2405 05-09-2007 12:32 AM

I found another glitch for ,,-ddcheat''!!!Right when you see Abe falling into the first well of Necrum, TAB him, and lift him to the max, before he will fall again into that well, you will hear him like jumping into a well, then you will see the COOL Efect like a driving image to the next level, the one with the flames!You will be going there faster!!! :D

Use ,,-ddnoskip'' and the game will act sooo fast!

Jordan 05-09-2007 03:05 AM

Yeah, Alex, I think I just told people that thing... And I said stop with the idiotic and pointless smilies. I don't mean to be rude, but I really don't like you. :)

SligValet 05-09-2007 05:15 AM

Cool thing Alex! But i got the same error as Max does, and i cant seem to figure it out :\ Could anyone help me? EDIT: Woot! I got it! You're supposed to write the code after the Exoddus.exe" not between the Exoddus.exe and "! Yay! Can't wait to test it, ill get some screens too!

Do you hate me or just the useless smilies?

The trainer dosen't work

You can find the editor and the trainer here
http://oddworld.modifikace.com/editors/exoddus

I downloaded the trainer and when I play Abe's exoddus the trainer doesn't work, I' ve tried to press F7 or F8 and nothing happens, I can't get any ring. Any help?

Alex2405 05-13-2007 04:13 AM

Sorry, all!
P.S.:Keep the trainer on when entering Abe's Exoddus!

AE_rcks 05-13-2007 06:06 AM

It stills not working :S

For many times as I read something about to TAB abe I don't unserstand it, you have to press the TAB key or what?

Chubfish 05-13-2007 11:28 AM

Could someone post a screenshot of themselves tabbing some Glukkons where there not supposed to be because I havent seen any screenies of them yet...

Wil 05-13-2007 11:50 AM

AE_rcks, yes, you just press the tab key. Then the cursor keys allow you to move Abe anywhere.

Chubfish, you can’t move Glukkons or Paramites with this cheat.

Chubfish 05-13-2007 12:04 PM

Oh...well that sucks...how about more pictures of people tabbing scrabs to places they shouldn't be like in secrets and the such? If you can do that, that is...like the secret with the scrab and the cage.

Zerox 05-13-2007 12:10 PM

The one with the grinders sowly going down onto the Muds, and you possess the Scrab into the crate? No point there, is there? Well, I used invincibility on the PSX one and got the Scrab grinded (it just dies), and made it run itself off the cliff when unpossessed in the lower part. Lol.

What if you move the Scrab into a tunnel? Like, standing on the floor, but where Abe can only roll. What happens?
Abd it would be nice if more screenies were posted, since I do not have the PC one, and I feel like I'm missing out.

Chubfish 05-13-2007 12:37 PM

I agree, I feel like im missing out too. :( But I might get it for my birthday later on in 2 weeks so not all is bad :) . I'm out of ideas now, lol.

It’s possible to do what you suggest, Zerox, but not much happens. The Scrab just stays confined to the tunnel, and can’t run out. Of course, it kills Abe if he rolls into the tunnel:

Note there than I’ve used the trainer to get a spirit ring and destroy the chant suppressor.

This is what I was talking about earlier when I said you can see what happens to the losing Scrab of a territorial battle:


Argh, how do I get out of this one?


Look out, little Scrabby. Abey’s gonna get ya!


This bug occurs in a very specific point in SoulStorm Brewery. It makes Abe look like he’s in the foreground, but he is still in the background, and in these screenshots he is actually positioned like that. Note that the Slig is shooting at Abe because it can see him in the foreground. But Abe remains unharmed, because he is truly in the background. Very perculiar!


And finally, I had loads of fun using -ddcheat to get Abe here and make it look like he’s using the Glukkon fone. Then I realized you can get him down here without cheating. Duh!
