Zooming in MO
 
In the first sloghut at the end when you are haveing all the Muds in the area pull the levers to the exit. Open the bird portal and imediatly and I mean before any Mud jumps in at that split second when its opening switch over to Munch and watch what happens!:D

You have to have Munch on the other side of the sloghut in order for this to work. Keep Munch standing on that door switch way over on the other side of that area. Whats going to happen is your going to zoom in on Abe but your going to zoom all the way across the Sloghut. I mean the camera is going fly through the sloghut all the way over to Abe. your going to take a little camera tour of that area all the way over to Abe:D Its cool because it reminds me of AO and AE in some aspects. Try it!:D

This caught my eye very quick....I will try...and reply later...See Ya! *runs away laughing*

I've had this happen to me before as well! Very cool. :fuzcool: I think when I did it, I used the snoozer or something like that. I think you just pull the lever for the snoozer and switch over to somewhere else and the camera zooms through the sloghut! :D That's how I remember happening upon the zooming thing. :fuzsmile:

What do you mean by zoom in on Abe? Do that while you're Munch? What button?

oddguy 08-17-2003 12:14 AM

Black Button I think.

I've had fun doing this as well, usually with levers that open doors. The only place I actually remember carrying this out is in Magog Motors, having Munch pull the lever that opens the corridor to the edit, then quickly switching to Abe. I think the camera goes through walls sometimes when doing this. I haven't tried it in any Sloghut, but I'll keep it in mind next time I start the game up. :D

Lulu Fund: Simply locate a lever that moves the camera, such as the many levers at the end of Sloghut 1027, then use the black button to switch over to the other character when they're at the other end of the level. What you get is a zoom through the level, something like the first fly-over of the SpooceShrub Forest level, but many times faster.

you have to do that when? is it at a special moment or each time you want? or has it be when you do something special?

Wil 08-17-2003 08:22 AM

You can do it when ever and where ever there's a lever or set of levers that change the camera angle, or anything that does that. A good example would be the employee status boards. Press 'A' to have Abe press the button to see one, and immediately afterwards press the black button to switch to Munch. The camera should pan/zoom from Munch to the status board.

Hmmm..... *stroking her chin*...

Xavier 08-17-2003 02:11 PM

Is your Xbox completely green? Like the Mountain Dew contest Xbox? Mountain Dew was giving away completely green Xbox's for "The Hulk" contest or something.

LuLu_Fund 08-17-2003 10:40 PM

Yep Odd, I've got the Limited edition Green xbox, it's kinda transparent, so you see the green light on the buttons when you turn it on... it's so kewl, you should get one!:fuzwink:

oddguy 08-17-2003 11:21 PM

I didn't know Xbox was selling green ones. Hmmmmmm......very cool. If my Xbox ever decides to explode, I'll get a green one! :D

Xavier 08-18-2003 02:19 PM

there are also white Xboxes... tought you wanted to know that...

LuLu_Fund 08-18-2003 04:21 PM

I've seen that White Xbox... it's a very nice Japanese Panzer Dragoon edition, v expensive, but that's expected if it comes from Japan! Looks kewl. Prefer the green one or black one lookswise.

oddguy 08-18-2003 05:56 PM

I'd like an orange and black one! Orange all over, but Black on the big X that goes across the console. I'd die to have one like that! :D :dead:

Xavier 08-18-2003 06:46 PM

there was a article in the OXM about tunning your own Xbox and some guys had done some amasing things... read it and you could do it yourself :fuzwink:

LuLu_Fund 08-18-2003 07:51 PM

Yeah, plus there's loads of Xbox skins that you can buy and put on your xbox to customise it. So you can probably create your own orange and black xbox oddguy!

oddguy 08-18-2003 10:11 PM

*sheds a tear* I may just do that someday! :fuzgrin: Thanks guys!

Sekto Springs 08-19-2003 01:23 AM

my friend has the white xbox, it has a red X. It's very interseting, he also has a cool setup of his games for it.

Xavier 08-19-2003 06:57 AM

wow your friend must be a pro at Xbox tunning

Where can a limited edition Green xbox be gotten? I would like one of those...... :fuzcool:

LuLu_Fund 08-23-2003 09:18 AM

I'm not sure where you live DieselCat, but if you're in the UK, I think some Virgin Megastores to have the Limited Edition Xbox left and possibly Game or Gamestation (though I think Gamestation have not more left.) Otherwise, I think you may be able to get one online. Best bet is to search for "limited edition green x box" on google, and I'm sure there are loads of sites selling them still. I don't know where you get them in USA! Just search the gameshops and megastores.

Xavier 08-23-2003 09:45 AM

actually the green Xbox was a promotion for Europe only at first...

DieselCat18 08-25-2003 05:39 AM

LuLu_Fund......... Thxx 4 the heads-up on the Green (Glow in the Dark) Xbox. No I don't live In the UK...would like to visit there someday...I'm in South Florida. But your suggestion of looking online using Google or I guess even eBay would be the place to start along with any of the local game stores....Cheers..:fuzwink:
