Re: I hope you don't mind, but...

Lisa, please tell Ryan that I liked his first world (haven't played the second, yet) but I added the looney key. I should have asked permission before editing his world, but adding the looney key to a world without one was my first attempt at editing a world (I have an idea for one, maybe I'll get the editor figured out and have it after summer) and it seemed like an easy thing to do. However, once you drop a "key of lunacy" triggered by "N levels completed" it will drop everytime you reenter the world. I think I've solved the problem by having another special triggered by "have lunacy key" that drops nothing at the same location as the previous special that dropped the key. As I recall, there was another add-on world that kept giving me looney keys, maybe that was the problem.

I hope to get to Creepy Meadow, soon.



Jamul, I added a looney key to EZ, also. I hope you don't mind, but I disliked having a missing key as I went through the add-on worlds when selecting a new world to try.

I was rereading some posts and found the post on beating Hammer Football. That must have been what I was remembering and not Pumpkin Patch. So, I still haven't beaten that level. Well, I did "beat it" out of there after realizing what was there (took a couple of times) but haven't defeated the giant pumpkin, or much of anything else in there! Happened to luck into the solution to Hammer Football.



I've been playing Creepy Meadows, lately. Very nice job. I doubt that my first attempt will come close. Not a walk in the park by any means. I still have a couple of levels to go - been stuck on Water Park for a few days now. Just when I get close, a vampire gets me (boy, they're fast) or I slip into the water jumping on a raft. I have been plagued with a lack of chinese food in most of your levels. The spooky ghosts, etc. aren't being very helpful. I have been tempted to add a few, but then I'd feel bad. Nice to know you've done it in other worlds. With a few of the tougher worlds I've used the ultimate cheat and just blasted my way through just so I could get to the locked levels and try my luck with them.



I'm just thinking off the top of my head here, but couldn't you just load Double Trouble, use its tileset, and redo the levels deleting the ones you don't want to use? That would get you the tileset and I won't have to wait so long for your next world. Now that I've said it, I think I'll go try it because I would like to use meadow, desert, lava, etc. in my world, also. I thought he did a great job combining elements from other worlds, too!



Keep creating, it inspires the rest of us.

As a former computer instructor, I should have known better, but....After working on the 00 screen for about an hour or so my son (6 3/4 yrs, the 3/4 is very important at this age as you know) decided to help by distracting me and then hitting "save" instead of "load" at the opening editing screen therebye deleting the world I have been working on. Fortunately, DR. NORTON to the rescue. I just happened to have installed "System Utilities" a month or so ago. One of the features is an undelete from the wastebasket. I highly recommend a similar utility! I was able to recover my world in about 45 seconds, 44 of which were taken up in locating the filename with the latest date.



p.s. to Lisa: In addition to trying the procedure in my last post, I also loaded forest and icy bmps into Paint and was able to cut and paste to create a new bmp. Have you tried doing that to get the tiles you want for your new world? It took some jockeying around to match them up and you have to get the sizing correct (32 x 24 pixels), but I think it will be worth it to get the tiles.



The things you can do with computers with the correct software and a little (or a lot) of patience! I need to be careful or creating a world is going to occupy way more of my time than I should be spending away from family, studies, and preparation for class! Sure is fun to be doing something creative again.

Glad to hear you got what you needed to continue. All you need now is time!
