Does it matter too much?

------------------
The idea that an all-knowing being created humanity is absurd, mostly because anyone with any intelligence could have done a much better job.

Well yes, we know how the FBI has nothing better to do but hunt down copyright infringers of free levelsets to a shareware game 😛

By the way, what is the "FBI" in Britian?

Hey, thanks! No one except my (beta testers) has given me any feedback on my first level ... hmm ... maybe I should upload it to the Ferazel Addons page! I meant to do that ages ago!

OK I just did some more work and I discovered a horrible bug in 'Return Of The Manditraki' ... I only had enough Tile space for Ferazel to stand and it required him to Spin-Jump to reach a vital SecretSpot! Ack! I hate myself ... so stupid!

Some work done. Not much, though. :frown:

------------------------------

(NEW) - Created 'BluePrints' (In black :D) for a secret level, off 'Retreating. 'Habnabit Delight' may be the name but it sounds a bit naff so I'm open to suggestions.
(NEW) - Created more 'BluePrints', this time for a fire level ... after the sand level, Mirages. Open to suggestions for names.
(NEW) - Another basic 'BluePrint' for another fire level ... might have some pools of water defined like lave so it's like they've been heated and are boiling Ferazel. Like all the others, this level needs a name and I would like suggestions because all my names sound pathetic.
(UPDATE) - More done on 'Mirages', funny pillar trick, a pillar of quicksand covered by Overlay Tiles with a Race Start Maker at the top and a button you need at the bottom... hopefully health will be drained by air loss :p.

For you level "Cold enough for ya?" I think you should change it back to it's old name.

OK, done.

------------------------------

(UPDATE) - Changed the name of the level 'Cold Enough For Ya?' back to 'Hidden In The Mountains'.
(FIX) - Download od 0.09b wasn't password-encrypted! Well, now it is so there! 😛 😉 j/k.
(UPDATE) - Done a heck of a lot of work on the Read Me.
(NEW) - Added a bit of background to the plot:

(quote) From the Malcolm's World 'Read Me!'
Malcolm's World is set after the original Ferazel's Wand levels, so some things will be different...
After the defeat of the Dread Queen (does this sound familiar?) the Habnabits honnoured Ferazel and him and Geroditus moved into the Queen's old lair. As the Habnabits became a larger race, they began to advance and become more civilized, and they created a government which was called the Council.
The Council, however, was more of an army that a government, but it still kept the Habnabits under control.
If anyone wanted to join the Council, they had to pass a special test. The test was always different, but was also quite easy.
The Council offered very highly-paying jobs to its members, so many people joined it. Eventually, however, far too many people wanted to join the Council and so the chief of the Council (the General) commanded the entering missions to be much harder, so only the very skilled Habnabits joined.

In Malcolm's World if you want to complete it you will have to join the Council, or, if you are a traitor, the Rebellion ... but the Rebellion is a much smaller organization and has lowly-paying jobs, so I would not advise that.
The Council refers to different parts of the map as 'Areas'. For example, a Council Commander may say 'I will be waiting for you in Area 1.', this simply means 'I will be waiting for you in level 1.'. All the areas will be used ... hopefully! 😄
(NEW) - Added PermFlags and Sprites ... everywhere! 🙂
(UPDATE) - Site touched - up.
(PLAN) - Buy SnapzPro2, take some screenshots of my World and put them on my site. I just got my pocket money (allownece in America ... I think) and I'm like 50 pence short! Hmm ... maybe my next door neighbour will let me low his lawn ... for a price! 😉
(STATUS) - I'm thinking about releasing 0.10b now!
(STATUS) - I'm ~very~ tired!

How did you take the pictures of your level without it? Was it free?

(edit)Oh wait, never mind. I guess you used it with the unregestered version of SnapzPro2. :redface:(/edit)

------------------------------

(FIX) - Trying to detect a bug where Ferazel falls through the ground in an underwater pool.
(QUESTION) - Um ... is anyone other that Ice following this? 😉
