your idea to put cam of oddyse in exoddus

xXxrenhoekxXx 05-25-2012 06:02 AM

... I don't see what my idea has to do with your cam...

I actually plan on porting level designs from odyssey into exodus once the editor has exodus support, may even ask people if they'd like to help me.

Having a few greeters and flying sligs going around RuptureFarms would be cool. Don't just port it, add some exoddus stuff in to make it better or just different, if you just port it, it'll get boring quick and I don't even think you're allowed to just upload an official level without edits.

xXxrenhoekxXx 05-25-2012 08:47 AM

... I'll think about it...
I know there's some features in oddysee that aren't in exoddus...
well one thing I can get rid of for another puzzle is those god damn slog shooters! (also I'm not touching fleeches those things are insanely creepy!)

RoryF 05-25-2012 09:02 AM

I don't think z-balls are in exoddus.

xXxrenhoekxXx 05-25-2012 09:06 AM

or time bombs and other things,
but like I said It's in planning stages at the moment.

feeco deepo tribute.
 
one of my favorite levels would have to be feeco deepo,
so I decided to make a tribute for it,

level: feeco deepo tribute
level replacement: Rupture farms part 1
game: abes oddysee
difficulty: the original feeco deepo
(ddcheat is recomended)

this level's more of a base level, feel free to edit to your liking.

enjoy :fuzgrin:

RoryF 05-27-2012 02:58 AM

Was a pretty good remake in AO actually. Well done.

One thing I would change would be this though:
http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1338112566
Instead of having some random thing fall out of nowhere and blow up the mine, maybe turn the SoulStorm brew machine into a BOOM machine and get the player to throw a grenade at the mine. I would do the same for the 4 sligs on the end of that other screen as well with the bird portal teleporter.

xXxrenhoekxXx 05-27-2012 03:53 AM

I tried the boom bomb thing but I couldn't get it to work correctly.
so I've improvised... Badly.

Try looking at the settings of an existing BOOM machine in RuptureFarms in one of the secrets and copy it over and set the screen to load in right. Make sure you've aligned it how it was originally as well. I've never had to move a BOOM machine but I assume it works.

Tadimo 05-27-2012 04:08 AM

Another nice level xXxrenhoekxXx, makes for a good base.

I actually copy pasted it and it didn't work,
when I died in one of the original areas that had a boom machine it magically worked for one where I respawned (yes I remembered to change which screen it loads in.) .

Strange. Maybe it acts in the same way as the electric walls, I didn't think it would be so hard to do. Oh well. Your workaround wasn't bad at all considering the limitations.

skychase2rebirth 05-27-2012 11:45 PM

Boom machines are even worse than electric walls, if the level doesn't have the grenades .ban/.bnd, the game will crash when you'll try to throw one. o_o

WolfensteinOdess 05-28-2012 12:04 AM

Take R2P14C01.CAM, there is electric wall + grenade machine ;)

that's not what we mean
we're saying electric walls and boom machines are completely different to move.

O_o
Like in Abe's Exoddus Beta area, when you pick up rock and try to throw it: Abe throws just some "air"

I'm bit progressed with my edited Stockyard level. :)

skychase2rebirth 05-28-2012 02:50 PM

Is there someone that has the most recently updated .xml pack for AE ?

xXxrenhoekxXx 05-28-2012 07:39 PM

is that the thing that makes it easier to use the editor?

skychase2rebirth 05-28-2012 07:48 PM

Yeah, the objects' bytes names.

xXxrenhoekxXx 05-28-2012 07:53 PM

I at least know that slig left bound and invisible_trigger are swapped...

RoryF 05-29-2012 08:34 AM

Has anyone still got that grid thing that Paul ripped from the PSX version of AO? I need it so I can make more cams and levels so it aligns properly.

xXxrenhoekxXx 05-29-2012 07:50 PM

I was kinda hoping I could get my hands on that to.

RoryF 05-30-2012 01:07 PM

Maybe Paul still has it.

Tadimo 05-30-2012 08:23 PM

EDIT: I have attached the grid image to this message, enjoy.

xXxrenhoekxXx 05-30-2012 08:42 PM

thank you this'll help me out greatly.

RoryF 05-30-2012 11:23 PM

Thanks. I'll probably get on with making a new level after I get back from school. The grid being missing was pretty much the only reason I wouldn't make levels at the time.

WolfensteinOdess 05-31-2012 09:11 AM

Thank you Tadimo

skychase2rebirth 06-01-2012 09:05 PM

Hi everyone, I got an idea. It may look like I'm lazy but I think it can be funny. Kinda like a contest, anyone who wants to participate is welcome. It's called....

Draw the Annex 4 like a 4th grader !

-Take a piece of paper or mspaint.
-Draw a path like a kid would.
-Use thing that would be in bonewerkz (no scrabs/paramites/rolling balls)

ex: http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...irth/puzel.jpg

Crap like this, not too detailed.

The most realistic/possible/playable one will made with normal Bonewerkz pieces.

You can add cars, rainbows and your dad to the picture if you want (xD)

xXxrenhoekxXx 06-01-2012 10:11 PM

how's this?
http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1338613892

actually I'm feeling lazy as well
I'm going to be making a boom machine factory though I don't know how to handle the machines, I'd like some concepts fot the factory,
basically what the guy above's doing.

JennyGenesis 06-02-2012 02:13 AM

I remember when Kapteeni13 made an entire level out of this.

WolfensteinOdess 06-02-2012 06:10 AM

Paper lvl ^^

xXxrenhoekxXx 06-02-2012 06:13 AM

in case anyone's wandering what he's talking about

JennyGenesis 06-02-2012 06:19 AM

It wasn't that actually, Kapteeni13 drew levels on a piece of paper, scanned them into his computer, then turned them into CAM files.

xXxrenhoekxXx 06-02-2012 06:49 AM

oh my bad.

WolfensteinOdess 06-03-2012 01:39 AM

Lol ! It was what I say ! Paper level !

xXxrenhoekxXx 06-03-2012 01:57 AM

super paper ABE...
Okay I'll go.

skychase2rebirth 06-03-2012 02:37 PM

I must announce that (sadly) my edits will come a little bit slower from now. For the last months, I was unemployed (and looking for a new job) so I had a lot of time but I start working tomorrow so I won't be able to spend entire nights editing... -_-'

xXxrenhoekxXx 06-04-2012 03:58 AM

just a heads up in camera l1p01c02
the cam changes back to the original cam of oddworld when you open the level up again.

kapteeni13 06-04-2012 12:04 PM

Ahaa, my paper level... :D

If i remember right download link is still in my SkyDrive: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resi...704B99A686!526 (Not sure was it this)
