    • One SCREWED up world. And its all my fault... (unless you help me :))


      Yeah, hi. Remember how I said I had 6 levels that I would release upon testing them with the full version for any minor unexpected bugs. I have a big "bug".

      Since I started editing on the demo version, I had to number my levels starting @ 80. Well now the full version doesn't seem to like that very much ;). Whenever I try and load my game I either get an error about not being able to load the level file, or it runs the original game's first level. Now don't say it, I 've tried to renumber my levels w/ Resedit, but then the MASCOT editor doesn't like it :rolleyes: . If anyone could please help me with this problem, cause i don't want to re-do my levels. Thanx

      PS: I've not given up yet, its just I figure two heads are better than one. If I figure it out I'll be sure to say so.

    • Hey, well I did just figure it out. I guess the first level HAS to be 1 but then you can use whatever numbers you like. Well thanks. (for nothing I guess lol)

      PS: See Andrew, this would be a good use of the author being able to delete his/her own posts. (But I get your point thought, I think we're better off without) Yes, moderators this is a hint- delete this unless you think it has somesort of relevance to nothing

    • Well, actually, yes, it does have a point.

    • Also, you will need to make "nodes" if you haven't already.
      To do this, paste the Tewraknorn map into your level with ResEdit, and create a node for each level in MASCOT.

      I think there's more info on this somewhere...

      Do you want to join the One Big World project?

      It's my understanding that the One Big World Project will be a collection of levels all wraped up into one data file. If that's true I assume there would be heavy limitations upon use of all the data forks of the data file. Well, I've already got 11 levels made (OK I lied, I've got 9 levels made, copied one from the original game and one is under construction), and I'm not sure I'd find enough room for all the members already involved. Finally, I find editing all by myself, with no one elses' problems, quite difficult and StReSfUlLlLlLl!!!!!!!!!!

      So no, I don't think I'll join the One Big World, unless they're having some last minute drought on levels and need some, then I might be inclined to join, but otherwise I'll just release my levels on my on accord.

      I do think the Big World project will be a sucess in one way or another, and I'll play it as soon as it gets put together.

      PS: Can a person upgrade a file they've posted without leaving the original hanging around? (ie: a partial version to be replaced by the full version)

    • The submitter can't do a file-switch like that automatically, although the moderator usually does that anyway by deleting the old file and putting the new file in its place.

    • It would be very cool if the people who posted a message could delete it, instead of editing their messages so it says something to the effect of: (moderator please delete this message).

    • I actually asked Andrew about that and he said (and I agree now) that some jackass might just delete the post that started a huge conversation just to be well, a jackass. (please note that those were not his exact words 😉 )
