Level variations thread: Post + download new/edited levels here!

[JennyGenesis]

I have an idea what screens could be causing problems. I'm thinking maybe it's because there are too many objects on there. Meech if you could send me the screen codes for the ones causing you problems I would be most greatful

[gishygleb]

Jenny Genesis, can you help me?
How in Oddysee (and in Exoddus) (Paul's 0.6) create portals and switches?
What links I need to change to make working switch(which will open/close something) or portal?
(I am not very good at English)

[Paul]

Click the add button and just add one in, try it on Oddysee first since the objects are documented. Most of it is fairly simple, if you can't do it then explain your problem in steps/detail.

[gishygleb]

How to make switched lift?(AO).
I now, how to make normal lifts

[gishygleb]

Tomorrow, here will be new Scabania!

[Paul]

Look at one in AO where it has a level attached to it and see how that works, likely the level trigger id is the "lift controller"

[gishygleb]

Easy!!

Hello everyone!
I made a level:
1.Abe's Odyssee, full Scabania.
2.MEDIUM, some moments can be HARD(2-4 moments - INSANE).
3.1,5 days of work.
1. Download the files
2. Unzip them.
3. Important: If you haven’t already done so; go into the ‘Oddworld Abe’s Oddysee’ and ‘Oddworld Abe’s Exoddus’ folder, and all of the original .lvl files you see, copy them into a separate, safe folder so that you do not lose the original game files! If you don’t really know where the folders are, look in ‘C:\Program Files’. You should find them there if you haven’t moved them.
4. Replace the appropriate .lvl files in your ‘Oddworld Abe’s Oddysee’ folder with the ones that you have downloaded.
5. Now start up the game, find the areas that are edited, and enjoy! To quickly go to the appropriate level from the main menu screen (on either game), use the following cheat: While depressing [SHIFT], use the arrow keys to quickly press: down, right, left, right, left, right, left, up.
In scabania there are three files:
d1.lvl
d2.lvl
d7.lvl
All are in the archive:

I didn't really like your Scrabania varition sorry. There wasen't a whole lot that was changed and I found it to be very very glitchy. I coulden't finish it because it kept crashing. Thumbs up for the effort though

[Jango]

Hey guys! I've been off for the last week or so, because I've been extremely busy with GCSE exams and coursework. I've finished all of my modular exams and coursework, and I have school holiday for the next couple of weeks, so I'll be visiting regularly over the next month! (Until my main exams).

I'm greatly looking forward to seeing Jenny's Scrabania variation! Will you do RuptureFarms II after that? I would love to see someone else try it, and I could also verify the difficulty for you.

[JennyGenesis]

I can't wait to get my Scrabania variation out there. Sadly MeechCrunchies reported and error but for some reason he aint telling me what it is

[MeechCrunchies]

Sorry guys my PC was in the shop for a few days!
Anywho, i fixed the glitch, apparantly it was because i'd been starting from a shortcut on my desktop and it was just randomly shutting down.
Also Jenny i'm giving you a A- this time, as there were some spots where if you mess something up in one screen you're forced to kill yourself in order to continue. That's just tedious imho, but those are just small complaints.
Overall, you did a really good job with it, although you could've had some Rogue Scrabs in there :P
Also, those slogs at the end could've been put to better use, cause they didn't feel very threatening.

^.^

[gishygleb]

What are you talking about?
I made not very interesting level, as I just 12.

Can I be honest? The part with the slogs. I was extremly tired when I made that part and I was running low on ideas. Not only that but the path came out completly different to how I wanted it. Need proof? Open up the file in the level editor and take a look at the screen on the final part with the whilstling mudokon where you need to whistle back whilst trying to avoid a moving bomb. I had to completly rearange the level because I got totally pissed off with editing wells because they kept crashing or getting me stuck on walls. Also could you please tell me the part where you need to kill yourself to continue?

Soon as you answer that question and gimme your verdict on the difficulty it will be released.

How to add Paramites in not Paramonia levels?

[gishygleb]

Hello everyone!
I made a level:
1. Abe's Odyssee, Paramonian temple
2. MEDIUM-HARD. Nests are HARD-INSANE
3. 7 hours of work.
4.Paul's 0.6
5.THAT ARE NORMAL LEVELS, BETTER IN 10 TIMES, THAN MY SCABANIA VARIATION.
6.If you see slog - just jump over it!

1. Download the files
2. Unzip them.
3. Important: If you haven’t already done so; go into the ‘Oddworld Abe’s Oddysee’ and ‘Oddworld Abe’s Exoddus’ folder, and all of the original .lvl files you see, copy them into a separate, safe folder so that you do not lose the original game files! If you don’t really know where the folders are, look in ‘C:\Program Files’. You should find them there if you haven’t moved them.

In paramonian temple there are two files:
f2.lvl
f4.lvl
All are in the archive:
http://filesmelt.com/dl/Paramonian_templ.zip

[MeechCrunchies]

Alot of it is unfinished.
You didn't go back and check.
There are some rooms you can get stuck in, because you forgot to make a trigger to open the door.
IMHO-3/10

[gishygleb]

Just search it!

[JennyGenesis]

I haven't played your variation yet but honestly. I have to jump over a slog? Bit ridiculous isn't it. Also one of the rooms in the Scrabania temple is impossible. It's the one where you start in the background and you have to pull the lever to activate the well with the Scrab running back and forth. It's impossible to pull the lever.

Well done for putting the effort in to release these levels but honestly you seriously need to do a hell of a lot more testing before releasing it. Did you seriously check your levels for bugs before releasing them because I'm getting the impression that you didn't.

[gishygleb]

That level is possible. You should:
1. chant(scrab begins roaring)
2. when scrab roars - quickly push the lever
I always in Odyssee jump over the slog(in I will post video).
I was playing Odyssee since 6 years old.

[JennyGenesis]

Gishy. Go play the damn level! You will see that the level is floating in mid-air. Rather than trying to oppose our complaints go and take a look at what people are complaining about then come back with an answer. Were not trying to be hateful were trying to point out problems so you can go back and solve them. Its fair criticism.

[MeechCrunchies]

Well, alrighty then.
I finished your level again, and i gotta say.
9.5/10
It aint perfect cause of the slogs at the end, and the "I didn't know i had to do it this way and now i have to restart godfuckingdammitshitballs" with certain screens,
and the part with slig where you have to backtrack to get more rocks about 10 times.
But other than that, it's a great level mod, and i recommend it to everyone!

Design-8/10
Difficulty-Fluctuates between @*(^&*@&(!!!!! and very fun

[gishygleb]

I am sorry. I am new at the forum and hateness is dangerous for me. Genesis, post your Scrabania, please!

[Admiral Zaarin]

Here's a render for one of my modification's first screens:

[JennyGenesis]

HAHA! The part with the Slig and the mines was made with the intention of frustrating people.

Just feel sorry for the poor bugger that had to keep testing that screen.........

So. Wait is over. Let's finally get this level out there

Game:Abe's Oddysee
Level:Scrabania
Difficulty:Fluctuates between @*(^&*@&(!!!!! and very fun (As verified by MeechCrunchies)
Made Using:Paul's Level Editor 0.6
Thanks to: Paul and MeechCrunchies
Download Link:http://filesmelt.com/dl/D11.LVL

I actually played tested this level lots of times before releasing it................

[Admiral Zaarin]

Same place with a well and well's closeup:

[Paul]

Same place with a well and well's closeup:

Those are awesome . Would be cool to see those in some demo map

[Jango]

Difficulty-Fluctuates between @*(^&*@&(!!!!! and very fun

OK, sorry to be picky, but this isn't an official difficulty stated by my thread rules. My thread rules say a level is either: BEGINNER, EASY, MEDIUM, HARD or INSANE. Next time, please say one, or two, of those. Thank you.

[MeechCrunchies]

Okay, but instead let's replace INSANE with "hair pulling omg i'm gonna find Jenny and punch her in the face" XD

[gishygleb]

And where are traps with failing items?
You just added some sligs, slogs, mines and bombs.
But levels are cool!
