Creative Worlds Level Pack. 0.6.3

[Hilda Marston]

Can i give you one zone concept? I'll tell you throughout conversation.

Post automatically merged: Aug 7, 2023

I have a couple more zone concepts in mind at the moment, but more likely than not there may end up being quite a healthy number of levels. Stay tuned.

Also another thing i wanted to mention. Can you make some of the songs have less volume? Cause most of them are really loud that you can't even hear the sounds during the gameplay.
The music can be VERY ear piercing specially in the third zone where the music becomes extremely loud.

There's a semi-consistent crash in the new zone preview when you get into the forced current section on Mac. It's a sigsev warning.

Critical fixes with new WIP zone.

1. -Turns out underwater caves with currents and horizontal spikes do not work so well at the moment. Removing them resolves a crash.
2. -Slightly extended the WWZ2 preview version
3. -Resolve another forgotten player start placement for testing purposes, that place in WWZ2 you were starting at is not the beginning.

I came across this in Greenhouse Scamper while playing and accidentally slipped through what I think's meant to be a wall.

Thought you might wanna know this, because there might be more hidden holes like this elsewhere that I or others may not have found. I enjoy these levels regardless tho!

Tidal Cliffs Zone and WWZ3

1. NEW: Tidal Cliffs Zone
2. NEW: Wondrous Windsock Act 3
3. Boss Levels finally converted to UDMF, not a single map is in the old format now. This also fixes the empty egg capsule in Skyward Garden act 3.
4. Tweaks to the SGZ boss to make it a little harder to cheese.

Update textures with new noise technique

Figured out a new technique for enriching color-sensitive textures by adding CIE noise via The GIMP (which works with the SRB2 Palette).

The result is richer, more realistic color and less grey for the rocks in Wondrous Windsock as well as introducing a subtle off-white coloring as originally desired for the marble in Lawn World.

This has not been applied to all textures, but only to those where better color performance is critical to the look.

ok two things: one i got the clip but it cant be posted due to an error two : you already have the empty slots slots for zone 5 ?

 

[Mr Beagle]

edit 1 i just realized that i have to use multiplayer oh no im stuck in a corner as tails is this wind cave the knux route?

The Wind Cave in WWZ2 is on the Knux route yes (which I thought I got the heights dialed in so tails can't actually get on the route in the first place).

Also yes, Zone 5 is just starting development. I removed the information for now, and it turns out I forgot to enable the appearance of WWZ2, WWZ3, and TDZ in the level select.

well i was playing with legacy dipperdeliver

i found a tech i dub the spam drop where you can hold the spin key for drop dash and spam the c1 stomp
to build up insane walldash height
the character is on a mediafire link in the video

 

[Mr Beagle]

That explains the issue since I test with the original 6 characters only. I do not guarantee full functionality with the hundreds of different characters made by the community, especially the overpowered ones (the addon guidelines only expect compatibility with who comes with the game unless it is clearly said otherwise).

Previews of new zones

NEW: Quantic Funhouse preview (up to where the second starpost will be located).
NEW: Concept for Electric Workbench Zone (the main mechanic is not in this, just the runup to it).

This starts to bring in buttons and a lot of linedef executors based on events (such as the player in a certain location).

Have a happy and thankful Thanksgiving week for those of us in the US. For the rest, just have fun.

Critical fix

Confirmed and resolved crashing issues with the boss maps opening (due to data that was not cleaned up during the UDMF conversion).

I found a small soft lock in Lawn World 2. Characters like Flare get stuck in this booster near the start of the stage.

Ace Dragon updated Creative Worlds Level Pack. with a new update entry:

Addressing sources of frustration

1. WWZ now has indicator objects in the wind volumes that tell you which way the wind is blowing
2. WWZ's station bot firing-rate now 50 percent slower (to make them easier to hit without losing rings)
3. Float cannon lanterns are now semi-bright with a bright light on top to make them much easier to see

Optimization and Feedback response

1. Optimize the flower FoF's in Skyward Garden
2. Optimize the major bridge set pieces in Wondrous Windsock Zone (using the widely used midtexture instead of visible FoF side trick, one side effect is that it sharply reduces glitches as well).
3. Extend the catch area on the Wondrous Windsock boss (when being thrown back to the start)
4. Correct the mob scale of a couple of rock spikes in WWZ1
5. Slow down the generation rate of all wind particle objects to bring lost performance...

EDIT: I forgot to mention a couple of recent changes.

1. The hang-gliders no longer use weight as a factor for the rate of descent, heavier OC's can use them properly now.
2. Placeholder maps for the 5th and 6th NiGHTS levels. This was requested, though I do not have a 7th theme to make use of yet. The main point is to verify that I will be able to make them work without crashing the game (as this can happen in UDMF editing for NiGHTS in some cases I can't nail down).
