Strange Things

sligster · #1 07-26-2002, 02:58 PM

There have been many strange things that have happened to me ( While playing oddworld ) Here are a few:

1: When I started chanting neer bats, they disappered.

2: I ran past a slig and it started walking backwards.

3: I was riding Elum and his head disapeared.

4: I shot a slig, but it did'nt fall, it just shrunk.

5: I was hiding in shadows and a slig had his back turned, when he turned back around and started walking he went up like he was walking up an invisible stair- case.

6: A blind mud walked off a cliff, you can hear him hit the ground, but all of the sudden, another blind mud fell from the sky.

7: A flying slig shot a bomb and all of the sudden there was a buzzing sound that wouldent go away until I pressed pause.

What strange things have happened to you when you were playing oddworld, a better question, how did all of those things happen above? I wanna know!!!!

They're bugs. That means either somebody messed up while programming the game, they didn't have enough time to finish programming the game or you have the PC version (yes, I read the testscreen editorial of this month's Edge :P).

They may be bugs, cause I don't have the PC version.

What version do you have then? I can't see those little bugs, hmm.
But the 7#, yes I have noticed that.

sligster · #6 07-26-2002, 07:01 PM

No, like bugs in the system. Not actual bugs.

scrabinator · #7 07-26-2002, 09:47 PM

Only one of those things have happened to me. The one where you shoot a slig and he shrinks. I have the PC version.

quetzalcoatl · #8 07-27-2002, 04:35 PM

Aha, then I have seen a couple more em', like the slig who shrinks

Intern_485 · #9 07-27-2002, 04:50 PM

Yeah, he shrinks and smoke rises out of him. That's happened to me, a lot. Maybe he's just "blowing off some steam!" AHAHAHAHA! Sorry for the bad joke, I couldn't resist.

Once I saw a slig frozen over a hole. I slapped him over and over, but he didn't do anything. It was kinda funny.

oddling · #11 07-29-2002, 07:17 PM

I've had #7 happen alot, the shrinking Slig was funny, I was just pulling a lever and blasting Sligs for the heck of it when all of a sudden one comes out and I shoot it, but it doesn't fall over, I got scared and just kept shooting it. It happened to my friend too. Once my friend said he was playing Abe's Exoddus and you know in Necrum Mines when you turn the wheel and water pours on the Mudokon on the other side? Well one time the water didn't pour down on the Mudokon, he just slapped around at nothing. Strange.

Oddling l:c l

PinkHaired Mudokon CWR · #12 07-29-2002, 07:47 PM

Yeah, some things happened to me to:

1. I was in the stock yards, I chanted for a long time. jumped inside the scrab chamber and he just stood there he did not attack me.

2. I was in the scrab temple in AO, and I saw a scrab in the wall and it started to walk forward and it disappeared and I tried to walk through the wall and it did not work. So, I did not had to jump over the scrab!

3. In AO, when you have to use the Elum to jump over those bombs, well, I sat on Elum and I press the botton to jump but Elum was jumping but his legs were not moving and Abe was still in his sitting position, and he was standing in mid air. It was crazy.

Oddness · #13 08-02-2002, 08:52 AM

I've never had any of those, but once when I chanted near an orb and it zapped me I turned invisible. O_o That was strange...

salty pretzils · #14 08-02-2002, 11:11 AM

Ohhhhhh....I hate number 7!
I will never cease to hate the
Infamous buzzing noisetm
It wont go away even if I press pause.

***Alcar*** · #15 08-02-2002, 11:19 AM

In the Paramonian Temple in the secret where you have to save a few mudokons and there are Paramites there wanting to eat you, I have successfully finished that part my having the game glitch up.

Everytime I run back to the portal I make sure they are near me before I jump into it. And when I return through the portal the Paramites are behind me, and dont move an inch until im off screen into the other screen and drop some meat.

This helped me out a bit, and I think this was the place that Tom got stuck? (I am right Tom? I think I remember you saying you couldn't get past a place in the Paramonia Temple...)

Alcar...

PinkHaired Mudokon CWR · #16 08-02-2002, 04:58 PM

That's why it's called Oddworld!

Oddsville · #17 08-02-2002, 07:16 PM

Hmmmm, I can't say I've had any of thouse but I did have a problem with my Elum dissapearing in Paramonia. Every time I would get of him and do something he would just dissapear and I could never get him back! But if I chanted I could hear him howel? Strange.....

scrabinator · #18 08-03-2002, 10:23 PM

I have turned into Shrykull and when I turn back into Abe all the blue lines just stay there and they don't go away until I walk over them. This has happened to me heaps!

***Xavier*** · #19 08-04-2002, 04:27 AM

yurk, strange, indeed.
well, Every game got bugs sometimes...
In MO a mud felt in the ground just when I looked him...

PinkHaired Mudokon CWR · #20 08-05-2002, 05:24 PM

Oh and everytime I go to Feeco depot., the computer froze, all the time!

***Xavier*** · #21 08-05-2002, 05:32 PM

I got the same with one level in the SoulStorm Brewery, one with lots of fleeches

Mojo · #22 08-06-2002, 07:09 AM

In AE, the sounds don't work the way they should. Like, when you get near laughgas, the sound keeps playing, even if you get out of the screen. Same with the mine car. And i never ever heard the stop it gamespeak. As for slig barracks, the music doesn't play....

molluck2 · #23 08-06-2002, 01:31 PM

Well, #7 happens to me a lot, i hate that, but there are a lot of good stuff happening to me when i'm playing AE too!
For example:
[list=1][*]one time in mudache vaults(don't remember where exactly) a scrab ran to me and i noticed that i couldn't move, but when the scrab jumped at me he jumped right past me like i was not there. And then none of the enimies could see me thru the game(only greeters)[*]in the first level after you learn to quicksave you can see a sleeping slig and a chant orb, when i was at the bottom they were there, but when i was at the top they just disapeared![*]one time in slig baracks i was chanting and the chant orb didn't hit me, though i couldn't posses the slig anyway![*]one time when i finished the game with 73 escaped muds it showed me a good ending, though i should of been the bad one![/list=1]

You may not believe me, but those stuff really did happen

sligster · #24 08-06-2002, 03:11 PM

In fact, another strange thing happened to me just a few days ago, in the Resevoir Row level in MO, I completed the level, Abe was already on the teleporter, so I had to get Munch on the teleporter too. So I'm walking twords the teleporter with Munch, then all of the sudden, Munch started to float in the air, he started screaming and flailing around, like he was falling, I couldent move at all! So I switched to Abe, and walked up to Munch to see if I could pick him up, I couldent. Then I started hitting Munch but Abe's arm passed right through him! I had to start the whole friggen level all over again! I was so pissed off.

Yeah, though the game isn't that interesting

Oh, yeah i forgot to mension, this stuff is happening to my quait usuall in AO- when i start chanting to posses a slig either i fall down like there was a chant orb around or when i posses one it explouds at once, i hate that!!!!

***Xavier*** · #27 08-07-2002, 10:01 AM

wow, yeah, that's amasing!
I never got that.

re-instal the game, maybe it will work

2. I was in the scrab temple in AO, and I saw a scrab in the wall and it started to walk forward and it disappeared and I tried to walk through the wall and it did not work. So, I did not had to jump over the scrab!

this hapened to me as well, later (once u pop out of a well) i saw him in the wall next to the other scrab, but he was small and the other scrab was big, it was so funny

also that anoyin buzin sound has hapend to me 2, usually after a huge explosion (grenades, mines, u name it)

Kesiah · #29 08-08-2002, 01:21 AM

I never noticed anything like that at all, and a lot of them sound pretty noticable!
Actually, I have noticed that if there is an explosion on the screen, often small fragments of the image will remain over the top of the normal pictures, but they go away after a while.
Maybe we can apply to OWI for bug testing jobs

***Xavier*** · #30 08-08-2002, 06:40 AM

oh yeah, if you touth a flying mine, when you jump in a well, you don't explode, good TIP
