Hm. Yeah, I just downloaded the newest build and it's no longer working for me either! The only difference I found is that "lift01" is named "lift" now, but fixing my map to accommodate didn't help. Sad

I think he said he made it so you can put lift_left and lift_right to designate which direction they're facing now. Maybe you could try putting _left or _right on the end and see if that works?

Nevermind, I did it right the first time. I was just testing it with the wrong build (I had two windows up with the old one and the new one, just got them mixed up. Deleting the old one now Tongue). It SHOULD work now:

Try the link again; I copied the wrong URL I guess.

Also, awesome map.

Found a bug. I was climbing a ladder and went down until I was practically standing on the head of a robot. I moved along with the robot even though I was technically still climbing.

Not really a bug -- just something missing from Guy's script.  I'll put it in posthaste. Wizard

@The Map-Makers: Wow, so many maps!  I'll play them all tonight.  I'm a bit under the weather, but I'm feeling better than yesterday, so I'm going to push forward toward 1.1.

Before I frontpage this, I'd like to have it updated to a certain degree.  I think the generalized objects and basic map screen are the biggest priorities.  (Though, expanded Guy abilities wouldn't hurt!)  That way, map makers with NO scripting/logic/code experience could modify the Main Objects to fit their maps, it'd be easier to add/edit objects in the future, and the public would have some semblance of a "game" to play.

Yeah?

Cooool, though his left foot glitches out a bit in the third one for a frame? (maybe it's just a gif artifact though...)

Savage.  I've beaten all the most recent maps, but NOT THIS ONE... yet. Noir

Great stuff, y'all!  I'm writing my To Do list for the public release now.  I think the Generalized Objects would help map-makers the most, definitely.

Created a new "generalized" object.
I don't mind anyone modifying this, as the animation for it is a quick and dirty one.  Embarrassed
I've called it "fallsoft" since I can't think of a better name, but basically, you won't get hurt when you fall large distances. Not sure how useful it will be, but I think I recall someone requesting it recently.  Cool
Anyway, here it is:

fallsoft2.zip

Files in the archive are:
Code:
Animations/Item_FallSoft.bqANIM
Maps/BootCamp.bqMAP   <-- modified version of BootCamp with the new object included.
Scripts/Guy.lua
Scripts/INCLUDE_Objects.lua
Scripts/Item_FallSoft.lua
Sprites/Item_FallSoft.bmp    <-- Please somebody make a good version of this :-p

Edit: Oh, I forgot to include the animation file! And I couldn't get the in game animation editor to work. So I'm not sure if the animation file is 100%.

Guys, you seriously need to start posting screenshots of your maps so I can work out whether or not I want to download them  Hand Thumbs Down LeftHand Thumbs Down LeftAngry

Wow, it's neat seeing them lined up like that!  I don't think I'm fully realizing how awesome it is that people are actually creating maps for BQ after all this time.  (And such cool maps, at that!) Tears of Joy

Mike!  Please please don't edit Guy or Include Objects -- that's a one way ticket to instability and me accidentally overwriting the work I've done!  As a rule, I think standard maps/objects/stuff should be left alone, unless they're heavily modified (and released under a different file name).

But that's not to say I don't appreciate it!  I'll do what I can to incorporate that (there are actually plans for an Umbrella item).  It's great to see someone working with the scripts, too.  You know, you could use your talents to create some pretty exciting new enemies...

P.S. Nice animation. Wink

P.P.S. Wait, how wasn't the Animation Editor working? Shocked

Yeah, that is freakin' awesome, mike.  I love The Labyrinth, Xion!  Both the map and the movie. Blink

Are these maps getting added to the official builds, or do we need some sort of map archive thread?

I started some work on a new editor for Balding's Quest today, two hours into the project and I'm already having a lot of fun!



Tis the beginning of something  Smiley

BMcC, I wasn't 100% sure if you meant for me to append/work on the current editor or to make an external editor. I sort of opted to make an external editor, which is what I've done here. If that's cool with you, I can keep going on with the project, and hopefully get the basics done in a few more days.

This game's awesomeness is increasing exponentially. I see a future where there will so many maps and objects that each level is going to be a completely different experience.

It would also be rad to have an in-game level/object/script browser, kind of like Sporepedia. There could be monthly competition, rating systems, awards and so much more.

Maybe that's dreaming too much, but it's got the potential. Kiss
