Golden ruins mod

I've been working on the project for a while now.

I also made a FAQ:

Q: What's with the difference between danger forest zone and diamond palace?
A: Danger forest zone is the first level i EVER made, diamond palace came while after it.

Q: Are the stages gonna be longer and harder?
A: Yes, probably they would, but i'd first like to make the level's basic idea.

Q: Is final fight going to be harder?
A: Not a chance, it isn't even the REAL final boss, the real final boss is in the final release.

Q: How many stages are there going to be?
A: Alot, sonic knuckles and tails are going to have their own storyline. Each storyline contains: 7 normal stages, 1 final stage, 1 final boss stage.
And ofcourse the very final level, the golden ruin.

Now i ask you one thing... Have fun!

omfg that looks awesome!!!!! can't wait to play in a netgame. :D

Thanks!
Also try collecting the chaos emeralds, they have no reward, but it makes adrenaline airway easier.
The chaos emeralds are hidden in DFZ1 and DFZ2.
They will be set somewhere else in the next release.

alright ill go try right now.

Nearly 30 mb ???

Well... we'll see what's all about this mysterious wad. *downloads*
The Screenie looks nice.

Yes i know it's a big filesize.
And i have absolutely no idea why, it has small levels, and there are only 9 levels...

Well...
I would call this a "secret-wad". All those Labyrints.... emeralhunts... It's really tricky.
And that make it AWESOME !!!

Really it's soooooooooooo good! Keep on working this.

The 30mbs may exist probably because of all these imported songs... By the way. How is the song called, that is used for main-theme?

This is an amazing map-pack Moonlander, if you keep improving, you're skill just might match Mystic's someday! :P

Very nice, the filesize is monster because of the music, but it's still fun. Though you should remove the death pits from adrenaline runway. They are annoying.

The filesize was already big before i added the music.
But it did became bigger when i added it.
And i don't wan the music to be removed, i like it!

errm... is the music in OGG format? In addition, did you optimize the maps? Also, you don't need the blockmaps. take those out, and it'll lower the filesize(no, I haven't looked at it yet, I'm just saying this while I download).

Moved to releases, I just feel it fits better here.

BLOCKMAP isn't required in an SRB2 map?

...What is a BLOCKMAP?

SRB2 can build the blockmap for any map it loads automatically. To GCfreak: The blockmap handles collision. Anyways, if you look at the lumps in Mystic Realm, you will find that there are no blockmaps.

This wad is awsome.

Umm... yeah.

Rather good design, but labyrinths, emerald hunts, linearity, a cheap final boss, Diamond Palace, and a "forest" that's actually a city kinda confuses me.
This pack is kinda icky right now. Also, switch the music with MIDI or something... This thing is huuuger than XBOX. Maybe.

Wow...
That thing you call a map pack is just...
Um..
How to put this nicely?
Its like Shadow's old Eggmanway level packs were before he realized what the hell he was doing...
The potential is there, but right now, the whole thing is pretty terrible

You made the levels really cramped and liner...
And all the deaths I had were just plain cheap deaths because of bad level design...
And that whole end part in the forest where you are walking on that thin stretch of platform with pits all around you is bad no matter how you look at it...

I did like what you did with the City....
You made it populated and pretty...
but when its just so horrible to play, looks don't mean jack!

Also, all those teleporters were really not needed.

With some serious work, I can see this becoming pretty good...
But in its current state, it sucks no matter how you look at it...

Some hints though:

Learn some Level Design and think in 3D...
Cut down on all the randomness...
Pits are bad... they are even worse when they are in the second level...
Oh, and don't put a enemy being a breakable wall cause thats just cheap no matter how you look at it...
And finally, Emerald Hunting: No... it just doesn't work here...

I hope to see this pack improve cause it has a few good idea in there...
You just need to use them correctly.

Hmnnn...
Moony, maybe I could fix some parts of the levels....
But apart from a few things, Kroze, you seriously need to relax.
He's my buddy, and I see almost nothing wrong with it...
Put an apolagy at the end of your post or shorten it to be less bad...

Nice level pack Moonlander
