Nevermind! Lee-Ham is a hero.

We're getting close. Brentai's out of town for the next day or two; I'll probably send the level out tomorrow.

What's more, Friday's section is easily the hardest in the level thus far. There's even an absurdly difficult optional boss.

I can't wait. I want to play this.

Brentai · « **Reply #167 on:** October 14, 2009, 05:54:58 PM »

Are we just doing the one pass? Probably for the best.

Like I said, there are plans brewing that I'll probably hash out with you when the time comes.

I think this is the best thread for this news.

Coming 2010: World of Exquisite Knorpse

Brentai · « **Reply #170 on:** October 14, 2009, 07:16:22 PM »

I think Sharkey and Zara and I came up with this game about a decade ago.

Good thing we never got around to seriously trying to build it. I had better things to do for the last decade.

Zaratustra · « **Reply #171 on:** October 14, 2009, 07:55:44 PM »

Um. Actually.

Friday · « **Reply #172 on:** October 14, 2009, 08:43:46 PM »

Personally, I find the pvp to be a bit lackluster. I mean unless you're Umbrella/High Jump or Holo/Runspeed you may as well just afk out.

<Juni> I hate fighting and gears!

...huh. I guess I could see the utility of online Knytt Stories for... uh... races? Or, like, having the various Exquisite Knorpse authors give a tour of their respective areas?

jsnlxndrlv · « **Reply #174 on:** October 25, 2009, 12:12:07 AM »

November 15th might be a little optimistic, but if we do miss it, I doubt we'll miss it by much. LaserBeing has been making progress and should be finished with it soon, at which point it goes back to Bongo Bill, who's got a lot of plans that he's working on even now.

LaserBeing · « **Reply #175 on:** October 26, 2009, 05:39:40 PM »

Finished. I hate Knytt Stories but I really want to play this now :(

Bongo Bill · « **Reply #176 on:** October 26, 2009, 06:56:22 PM »

No need to rush getting it to me, Newbie; I'm not even going to be able to start on this until Thursday.

Bongo Bill · « **Reply #177 on:** October 28, 2009, 11:08:53 PM »

Which tilesets are currently in use? I'm thinking I may need to add a custom one.

Bongo Bill · « **Reply #178 on:** October 29, 2009, 02:03:00 AM »

Also, how do I do the thing where the edges of a screen warp you to a different screen than the one that's technically next to it? Alternatively: how do warps work?

jsnlxndrlv · « **Reply #179 on:** October 29, 2009, 04:16:47 AM »

Tileset 240 is a custom tileset with a fair number of blank spaces, still. I count over 40 tiles where you can overwrite the random scribbling I put down to keep the editor from freaking out over empty squares. (I'm talking about the tiles in the top-left and bottom right of 240, here.) Otherwise, there are an awful lot of tilesets in use, and it'll take me a while to update the last listing.

To have the edges of the screen lead to a room other than the one adjacent to it, use the warp tile; it's object 20 in the System bank. As long as that's somewhere on the screen, you can select the "Warp Up", "Warp Down", etc. options on the Knytt Stories Manager (current screen) and then put in the absolute coordinates of the destination, or the relative coordinates to the room adjacent to your intended destination. For example: to have room x1001y1000 have the right edge lead to the left edge of x1000y1000, you'd want the Target X to be 1000, or you'd want the Map X to be -2; either will accomplish the same thing.

Shifts are basically the same, except with a lot more options: you can have them specify a relative tile on the screen as destination, you can make 'em visible or invisible, shift on touch vs. activation, etc. They use objects 14 through 16 in the System bank. The major trick I've learned is that if you're going to have shifts form a two-way passage, don't have the destination tile of one shift pointing exactly at the entrance tile of the other, or the player will switch right back as soon as they arrive.
