    • Beta Tester(s) Needed


      I don't post here very often, but I have made a little (six levels and a bit of a seventh) world, I hope I will make it bigger and better soon, but I need some beta testers. You do not need to be too skilled - my levels arn't very hard. I would like 2 - 4...ish. Thank-you.

    • I'll do it also. Even though I'm already beta testing for PCheese, I'll do it. E-mail me at danielblanchard@mac.com.

    • I love to beta test Ferazel levels. 🙂 I'll help out if you wish.

      Hey, if you're in love with someone, then you have every right to completely screw up their life.--cynical me!

    • I'm twiddling my thumbs now after finishing Basic Nothingness for awhile. I'll gladly help.

      Greetings - I am your friendly neighborhood moderator. Over the coming years I shall force-feed you my biased one-sided liberal tripe that I find truthful based upon my own faulty and fragmented logic; excessive smileys 🙂 🙂 🙂 and bizarre TexT! formatting also help clarify my inane points. Welcome to the boards!

    • Thank-you all very much. I've e-mailed the file to you, and I still can't get over the fact that two moderaters replied. Oh well, I suppose this is all proof that I am quite an infrequent poster here.

    • I have been working for about four hours this-moring. All I managed to do was set myself a goal and get rid of some bugs :mad:

      ------------------------------

      (UPDATE) - Added some to level seven. Has a proper exit, not as much of a challenge as I would have liked.
      (GOAL) - To make a Maze Level by September 2001.
      (FIX) - Got rid of unnecessary FG Crunch Tiles.
      (UPDATE) - Added FG Overlay tiles - not as much spin-jumping etc.
      (GOAL) - Finish level eight in the next two days.

      ------------------------------

      I will send all Beta Testers 'Malcolm's World 0.0.3 Beta'. No read-me.

    • Hi everyone...or no-one, whoever is reading this. By the way, who is reading this?

      ------------------------------

      (STATUS) - Maze level about 20% complete. Is a big kind of square spiral in it. Been working flat out - unfortunatly for only about 2 hours. as Labyrinth. Harder, though. I hate shcool!!! Is planned to be same/bigger size as Labyrinth.
      (COMMENT) - Not working on any levels except maze level. Still only have two beta reports - soon going to release Beta 0.0.4. Oh, and this is beta version. Not proper versions. Else I'd be on about 0.0.1.

      Use Res-Edit. I'm not sure where to DL it. Go to the file menu, Choose Get Info for _______, and check the box that says locked.

    • Bob,

      Thanks for the instructions. I used what you gave me, but...if you do 'get info' on the file you can easily un-lock it, however, I hacked a read-only simplet text document and looked at the info and changed the file creator. This worked excellently. BTW, I owe most of it to you - 'coz I didn't know 'bout the info bit before. (I kicked myself...and not as a figure of speech.)

      ------------------------------

      (STATUS) - Added Xichrons in passages, added a little trick with overlays, and added a rock chute...um...shooty bit.
      **(COMMENT) - Does anyone know what the info fields of rock chutes do? I know the first one is for button ID, but I'd like to be able to fire anything I can insert the ID of. This is what I know...or think I know:

      info (0) - Button ID
      info (1) - ???
      info (2) - Um, 1 for exploding rocks?
      info (3) - If info (2) sn't exploding rocks, this is...I think...**

      (COMMENT) - Mysterious Shadows sounds good for a name, 'cept there ain't no lightmap. I could make it dark and put torches where I don't want it to be dark...

      ------------------------------

      I am really desperate for answers on the rock chute problem.

      They're not. 🙂 It's a joke. He's very "right" and I'm very "left," and we've argued a lot. I wondered how he'd respond to it, but so far he hasn't.

    • This is what I know

      info (0) - Button ID
      info (1) - might have something to do with timing, that's what it's used for with enemy pipes
      info (2) - ???
      info (3) - 1 for exploding rocks

      -sorry, I don't know a lot, but in 'Eastern Reaches', and found this:

      info(2) - Was 0.
      info(3) - 1 for 'Exploding Rocks'.

      That's for rock chutes. Enemy pipes are the things(in O&E;, probably other levels too)that make enemies, and if you kill them they make more.
