Costume Party [Help]

TyTBone · 10-31-2008, 01:25 PM

Can anyone tell me why I can't get this crate to go through the other greenway? I only get smoke. (I'm guessing it's just a bug, but it's rather annoying.)

***Jamul*** · 10-31-2008, 01:30 PM

I just tried it out and found a very interesting bug with that! I will fix it in a patch sometime soon!

In the meantime, if you want crates to teleport properly, make it where they drop into the teleporter instead of sliding sideways. That should work fine. Like if that teleporter were moved down a space into the floor.

I can't log in. I get the error message in gamelog:

Here is the email I sent varkarrus and the other person who had this problem:

It sounds like you have a firewall or something blocking the game's access to the web. That log shows it's not even trying to connect. Check your firewall settings - if you have something like Zonealarm or Norton ... something (Internet Security? Something like that), you may need to tell it to allow this game to connect to the internet. Or it may be the built-in Windows Firewall, which you can find in the Control Panel.

I downloaded the free version and it appears to be working and all, except for the "No levels found!" bit that appears after logging in. Is this the way it is supposed to be, that I can't play anything until I get Creator's pass and either make or download levels? If so, which I don't think it is, it would seem pointless to download the free version. I've checked all my firewalls and have set them to "allow" for Costume Party, but the problem persists.
Another weird thing happens when I click Training: 4 levels appear, all titled 0 or O and made by 24 or 23 or other random numbers. It says "Wins: 26/11" and other ridiculous things too, and when I hit play, a window pops up saying "Download Problem-Level doesn't exist!" Does anyone know what might be the source of this "Downloading Problem" that I have?

***Jamul*** · 10-31-2008, 06:20 PM

Oh that sounds quite interesting and might be very useful information to me! Looks like your computer is connecting in a different way. If you can PM or email me the gamelog.txt it would be quite helpful.

Thanks.

Urgghh... I can't find any firewalls on my computer. The normal, windows firewall is also off.

SpaceManiac · 10-31-2008, 07:30 PM

Jamul, you should make a high-scores page on the site, like with Supreme.

***Jamul*** · 10-31-2008, 07:32 PM

I'm going to expand the logging with the next version and hopefull get more info on what is happening. In the meantime, consider how you connect to the internet - proxy, local network, something weird about it.

***Jamul*** · 10-31-2008, 07:38 PM

Oh, and while there's no high score page at the moment, you can visit someone's dumb page if you wonder what their total and rank are.

SpaceManiac · 10-31-2008, 07:44 PM

Doesn't show up on my page yet though...

EDIT: I bet I need the Create edition, or whatever it's called, right?

***Jamul*** · 10-31-2008, 07:55 PM

Oh yes, scores and awards only show up if you own the Creator's Pass. Another fine reason!

SpaceManiac · 10-31-2008, 08:09 PM

Yeah - buying as soon as I can!

It says "Download Problem" now, which is weird because it was fine before... and when I click "Get Help", it takes me to the Creator's Pass page! (I've been playing for 1 hour 20 minutes, if there's some kind of time limit (?!?!))

EDIT: No, that can't be it... Your server is down, Jamul!

EDIT2: All better now!

TyTBone · 10-31-2008, 11:56 PM

Side Advice: If you think you might want to edit an existing level at some point, but want to create a new one right now, take a screenshot of the existing level for reference later. (I suppose, as long as you didn't delete your level, you could take a screenie whilst playing it, but meh.)

Shark · 11-01-2008, 07:13 AM

I downloaded the free version and played it.When I played any level my character was constantly jumping.I can't get him to stop no matter what!I need some help!

***Jamul*** · 11-01-2008, 08:02 AM

Either you just need to tap the up arrow key and W once each, or you have a gamepad plugged in that is very badly miscalibrated, or just laying upside down! You can calibrate your gamepad in the Windows Control Panel.

***Jamul*** · 11-01-2008, 06:04 PM

Hooray! Anybody who has had any issues at all (well, except the jumping thing, but I swear that's a gamepad issue), the new version should make your life perfect!

kacper8000 · 11-02-2008, 03:50 AM

I can't update! It says: Error for opening file for writing: C:\Costume Party\costumeparty.exe.

EDIT: It's OK! I reinstalled it and it works fine!

***Jamul*** · 11-02-2008, 05:41 AM

That error means you didn't exit the game before installing. Make sure you follow the enormous red text on the update page!
