Another nice level xXxrenhoekxXx, makes for a good base.

:

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.

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.

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

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.

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

xXxrenhoekxXx · #**1539** 05-28-2012, 06:39 PM

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

skychase2rebirth · #**1540** 05-28-2012, 06:48 PM

Yeah, the objects' bytes names.

xXxrenhoekxXx · #**1541** 05-28-2012, 06:53 PM

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

RoryF · #**1542** 05-29-2012, 07:34 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 · #**1543** 05-29-2012, 06:50 PM

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

RoryF · #**1544** 05-30-2012, 12:07 PM

Maybe Paul still has it.

Tadimo · #**1545** 05-30-2012, 07:23 PM

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

xXxrenhoekxXx · #**1546** 05-30-2012, 07:42 PM

thank you this'll help me out greatly.

RoryF · #**1547** 05-30-2012, 10:23 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 · #**1548** 05-31-2012, 08:11 AM

Thank you Tadimo

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:

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 · #**1550** 06-01-2012, 09:11 PM

how's this?

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 · #**1551** 06-02-2012, 01:13 AM

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

WolfensteinOdess · #**1552** 06-02-2012, 05:10 AM

Paper lvl ^^

xXxrenhoekxXx · #**1553** 06-02-2012, 05:13 AM

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

JennyGenesis · #**1554** 06-02-2012, 05:19 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 · #**1555** 06-02-2012, 05:49 AM

oh my bad.

WolfensteinOdess · #**1556** 06-03-2012, 12:39 AM

Lol ! It was what I say ! Paper level !

xXxrenhoekxXx · #**1557** 06-03-2012, 12:57 AM

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

skychase2rebirth · #**1558** 06-03-2012, 01:37 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 · #**1559** 06-04-2012, 02:58 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 · #**1560** 06-04-2012, 11:04 AM

Ahaa, my paper level...
