WOOOOO! That was awesome to watch. I'm going to a do a video of me playing the level myself because you did some parts completely different to how I intended. Well done. No there is no BOOM machine. You should learn by now not to take everything by me seriously :p I also suggest that you check out the 2nd red arrow and see where the bird portal takes you ;)

Glad you liked it :p.
Sorry about the random wizard popping up part through.
If I ever do another one I'll make sure the sound is on right.

If you do do one, get the screen recorder box and set it to 640x480 and put it in the top left corner of your screen. That way it will record the game properly, otherwise there will be lots of black space.

I can't seem to play your level properly because when I start it, Abe's in the background and he falls forever :confused:.

I've tried that, there's no difference :fuzblink:.

Save files can be a problem. I encountered this when testing Scrabania (which was a nightmare) Let's say for example I make a save at the very first checkpoint of my Stockyards variation (the very first screen). If I was to then put Kapteeni's stockyard variation in my AO folder and open up the same save file, objects will be missing, random objects may appear or worst case scenario which I have had is that the game will crash when you try and load. So I can only assume oddman that you have made this mistake.

I haven't used or got any save files. It just doesn't play right. All the objects are there, I just spawn in the background.

All working fine for me. Kapteeni where did you download the other levels that are on your channel? I really want to play the ones made my mariomuzik.

I forgot to mention, Jango has now made a new thread for posting finished levels, this thread is now only for either discussing them or uploading demo/beta levels.

I was going to ask the same thing, he's quite good at making levels. He should post them on here so everyone else can play :D.

Tadimo 05-02-2011 09:31 AM

Kapteen I've played through your level and I must say I like it, although those scrabs were a bit much ;)

Can't wait for more!

I lost RuptureFarms level, but Stockyard left: :)

Edit: Level is created by mariomuzic not by me :)

Tadimo 05-03-2011 08:34 AM

Nice levels Kapteeni, I found a few issues though.

-In the Scrabanian Nests the last Scrab was impossible for me to get past, there was no way outside of editing the level to get the scrab to come to the left so you could run to the next screen
-The first scrab in Stockyard never comes back to the right, making it impossible to get past
-In stockyards when you get to the first lever there is a landmine that you can't see before you step on it when entering the screen from the left
-The first lever encountered in stockyards also doesn't do anything and you need to jump through the wall on the same screen to proceed forward
-In the 3rd screen of stockyards you can't see where you are
-In the screen with the two mudokons and massive moon the game crashes when you go left

EDIT: Oops realized that the stockyard variation was by someone else

Apart from that nice work ;)

Thanks OddMan360. :)

I don't mind if people post levels here, but if they are FINISHED levels that you no longer want to edit or tweak, then please post them onto my new thread (bottom link on my signature).

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V500LEH4

It's a good level but it's annoyingly dark since it's mainly shadows and the actual background is pure black with a picture of the moon pasted in some screens...

Do you ever know if you're going to get the Rupturefarms one again? It looked like a nice level to play (mainly because you can see everything).

then please post them onto my new thread (bottom link on my signature).

I wonder how many people will see that thread but continue to post them in here...

Cool :).
I saw your scrabanian nests level on YouTube a min ago...
I'll go try it out now, hopefully won't be too hard for me...
I've never beaten oddysee before...

In case you guys have been wondering where I have been. Check out my blog. The blog post entitled "Where have I been?" will explain all.

Tadimo 05-05-2011 09:50 AM

Well I finally decided to create and post my own first variation. It was meant to be a quick edit however it ended up taking a few hours; my god how I wish the editor & objects were better documented.

Level: Rupture Farms 1 (Mudokon Enrichment Center v1.0)
Difficulty: Normal

I've seen it...
Because I like to spy on people :confused:...

Anyway, I like that you're doing cam edits hardly anyone has tried it. OK, maybe a few...


Also, does anyone know why I can't edit RuptureFarms I?
It crashes on screen 2 for no reason! :compmad:

JennyGenesis 05-05-2011 10:13 AM

Don't know. The same thing happens to me. Also objects I place on the first screen do not appear.

That's odd, on the first screen the objects work but the game crashes on entry of screen 2. Even if I delete every object off screen 2 the game crashes. I'll ask in the .lvl files thread, hopefully Paul or someone will know the answer.

Looking good! ;)
What image editor you use?

JennyGenesis 05-06-2011 07:36 AM

My Stockyards V3 is comming along fine. Sadly I cannot do anymore cam edits. The cam converter crashes everytime I use it :( The one's I have managed to edit, all I did was remove the door from E1P06C05 and add signs to E1P06C07 and E1P06C09. But the signs to look rather........cheap.........

Which cam converter are you on about?
The one in the editor or the standard exe?

Thanks, I used Gimp to draw up a rough sketch of the level design and Photoshop to edit and create new cams.

The new cams were made by placing two layers in the image and then removing parts of the top layer to create the foreground (platforms, walls, etc).

Paul said, that the beginings of levels are hardcoded, so that it's hard to edit them

The thing is, all the other levels work for me except that one. You might be right but do you mean all levels? Stockyards seem to work every time.
