skychase2rebirth look what you level only make more two cams why not you release level now?

Seriously though the level looks pretty nice, how did you get the meat sack to work?

if I were to take a guess, it was on the same screen number as the original paramonia temple. (can't wait btw.)

kapteeni13 02-06-2013 07:13 AM

That level looks like that i want play it sometime when it's finished. :p

To Hard Version:
Editing continues in Scrabania. Tried put "Honey" object while riding on Elum, this caused to 'ebin' glitches.
Elum was eating honey while having Abe sitting on back tightly and Abe wasnt able to dismount Elum :lol:

Eliminated that glitch also. ^_^

Editing pr"åå"gress is going past of "Need Bees?" area ;)

WolfensteinOdess 02-06-2013 09:12 AM

VoilÃ* (lool) et moi j'ai pas fini :p
I've not finish yet...

kapteeni13 02-07-2013 04:57 AM

Thanks WolfensteinOdess for helping with level extractor and builder in Skype. :)
I wonder have anyone tried to get Elum in RuptureFarms / Monsaic Lines? :p


Edit: I will release Beta Scrabania Hard Version soon... ;)

great now you've got me wanting a mod that puts elum in every level.

WolfensteinOdess 02-07-2013 09:08 AM

In every level ! Wow

xXxrenhoekxXx 02-07-2013 11:36 PM

I want my bullet proof... thing damn it!

I think it's possible to make. :p

After long file seek i dragged from d1.lvl to r1.lvl all needed Elum files. ;)


As seen in video below when riding on Elum and falling from edge game crashes. I'm not sure what .BAN or .BND file is needed to avoid this crash. :confused:

But:
Elum in RuptureFarms

xXxrenhoekxXx 02-08-2013 04:11 PM

that's awesome, also (said this in the video too) the game's music gets remixed when you're riding elum!

johnnyk89 02-08-2013 10:19 PM

hi guys i'm sorry i was unpatient but i think for me i'm going too little over broad and i was such an foolish and disrespectful and i believe my moods i was not perfect and some times i feel the up's and down's and i can't really think my words are simple i was so fastrated. But no comments

Music seems like it's stuck at beginning. :)
New idea possibly for remix. :p


Still not discovered what sprite file is missing to avoid crashing while falling from edge with Elum... =/

WolfensteinOdess 02-09-2013 09:37 AM

Remix ? You want to remix this music ?

RoryF 02-09-2013 10:26 AM

Try just putting every .BND and .BAN file in and see what happens. No harm in trying is there?

No, just idea. :p

I guess no harm. :p
Maybe i afraid that something stops working properly.

Let's take try... :)

WolfensteinOdess 02-09-2013 10:53 AM

I think I could...

kapteeni13 02-09-2013 02:04 PM

I just tested all sprites from Scrabania to RuptureFarms level file but crashing continues. I even added all CAM's into level.

I don't know why it doesn't work even when added all sprite files from Scrabania to RuptureFarms. http://www.oddworldforums.net/images...icon12_odd.gif

Just trying now seek what causes crashing... :confused:

RoryF 02-09-2013 02:26 PM

I think it's more of an issue with other aspects to the level rather than simply the .lvl file contents itself. Like how you won't be able to get Elum's sounds in there because of how the sounds work in the engine, you can't just slap the sound files from Scrabania in there and have them work, you'll mess up other parts of the game.

I'm no expert at this of course, and the only thing I can come up with is how Elum is actually handled within the game engine and that some part of his physics is missing within levels that weren't supposed to have him in.

I wouldn't expect an issue like this to exist in Abe's Exoddus though, since some versions of the game talk about a supposed level editor (RePLay copies expecially) and so it should handle that stuff for you if they count the possibility of the game changing.

xXxrenhoekxXx 02-09-2013 04:56 PM

I'm wandering how the music changes in other levels now...

But anyways I wish you luck on getting elum into rupture farms.

WolfensteinOdess 02-10-2013 01:35 AM

Just because Elum wasn't destinate to be in Rupturefarm :)

I think the music and sounds were contained within some files, but it wasn't in like wav or anything with the music in order. It contained tiny little sound samples of it scattered thoughout the file and the game would piece it together for dynamic music changing (possessing a slig, riding elum, tense action). Same with the sounds, it would get the effects from parts of the file and out them together properly.

AE has all the game sounds in sounds.dat I think so that makes swapping stuff slightly easier.

WolfensteinOdess 02-10-2013 05:18 AM

Try to change the .lvl file and .ban files

kapteeni13 02-10-2013 07:48 AM

I have better news about Abe falling on Elum crash. :D

I forgot that i had sprite address that controls all sprites in game memory. :)
I tested change it to skip that sprite that crashes game. Game not crashed but always when falling Abe turns into glitched square temporarely.

Edit: I found that there is two sprite move addressess that makes game crash, but best thing is that i can possibly fix that. :p

RoryF 02-10-2013 11:23 AM

Well at least it works I suppose. Might not be perfect but Elum IS in there so there you go.

Now to put Elum in the boardroom haha.

Yep :p ^^


Tested what happened when Elum touched Electric Walls. :)
Elum hit first and turned invisible after zapping. Abe was floating in air and rided with invisible Elum. :happy:

And when Abe touches Electric Walls, sligs think that Abe is died but rides on invisible Elum as invisible too... :p

I guess i have to remove all Electric Walls. :)



And i have finally updated Hard Version levels.

Didn't you have that immortal trainer for AO? Wouldn't that get rid of the problem?

Brilliant idea. :p

I set that AO immortal mode makes Elum 'Dead' so any moving bomb don't explode for Elum. :)
Now i have to test does it work same way with Electric Walls. http://www.oddworldforums.net/images...icon10_odd.gif

I hope that Elum dont zap when i take test. :)

Edit:
http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...7&d=1360674475


In game it looks like this after zapped and immortal mode enabled.
I guess Elum have same address somewhere in memory that is it visible or not just like Abe had. :p

Seeking right address would take while... :)

WolfensteinOdess 02-12-2013 08:44 AM

Strange

RoryF 02-12-2013 01:35 PM

Abe looks pretty cool with that effect actually. I wouldn't say better, but it looks like he's being shown on an old tv.

Andress 02-14-2013 12:04 PM

you think that im upgrade my skills in levels?
13698

RoryF 02-14-2013 12:08 PM

Better than before since it has more texture, you know the yellow warning stripe texture has that rusty metal look to it, try applying that to the walkway and orange warning stripe textures and I think it would look decent. So long as it fits in with AOs grid mechs at least.

Andress 02-14-2013 12:19 PM

ok...how this??

JennyGenesis 02-23-2013 02:01 AM

Hey guys, just thought I would give you a post here, I know I rarely visit now, i've been real busy in my life lately and well, I haven't really had anything worth posting, but I've loved seeing he progress you have made so far, especially Elum in Rupturefarms, I have a hint to prevent the game from crashing when riding Elum of a ledge, now I assume that you pasted the Elum data file from scrabania or Paramonia?

My suggest is to import the data from the other level, example, if in that video you imported it from Scrabania, try importing the file from Paramonia instead.

kapteeni13 02-23-2013 04:30 AM

Hey, that is good idea. :p

I use Elum sprite files taken from Scrabania. So i need test does Paramonia ones work correctly.

If not i have still my fix. ;)
