Orthographic Universe Progress Log

The Dark Side is now 50% complete. It is coming along nicely, but ever so slowly...

I can't wait 'till Dec. 21. It is the day when I am seeing LOTR, the day when my winter break starts (I'll be able to work on OU a TON) and it is the day I think EV: Nova will come out That's gonna be one cool day 🆒

Sounds like there could be a serious conflict of interests there. 😉

BTW, if you make a black lightmap all over the level, it doesn't make it pitch black, it just makes it really dark.

Wow I worked hard this weekend. On orthographic Universe, that is. 😄 I've almost placed all the sprites––that's about 80% complete. Then I have to do one conversation, and fix all the info fields.

The Dark Side Progress

•Conversation (1) O% Complete

Estimated Release Date: Don't ask, because whatever deadline I set, I won't meet 🙂

The Bad News

I have Midterm tests next week, so I am going to have no time whatsoever to work on Ortho. Universe. Too bad my school has macs––I could bring Mascot and my world on a Zip and work on it during my 1.5 hour lunch period. Oh, wait a minute. the crapy PC's don't even have zip drives––only floppies that have gone the way of the dodo bird. Heh. ABout half of the Pcs in the library don't even work. 🙂

The Good News

Starting the 21st, My Winter break officially starts. I'll have a LOT of time to work on ortho. Universe then. That is, as long as LOTR, EV: NOVA, Deus EX, TOny Hawk Pro Skater 2, and Otto matic don't goble up all of my time! 😉

Kevin Kelley of (url="http://"http://www.sol3.knkonline.net")sol3.knkonline.net(/url) has agreed to make a 8-level mini-level set to merge with Orthographic Universe. It is going to be really cool! 🆒 Half of his levels will homefully be in Orthographic Universe 0.5 sometime in late January.

Yay! 2 LOTR tickets are all mine! Friday at 6! I can't wait! 😄

But first: trudging through midterms. :frown: ::goes of to study Latin::

Lightmap all done. Thanks gain, Ice!

A Crumbling Passage will be included in Orthographic Universe 0.4, to be released, along with my new web site (thanks kevin!), at the end of next week.

That game said it needed OS Eight or better, but it wouldn't work on Windows NINETY-eight... I wonder why?

(Announcement)

OU has been tried.
OU has been tested.
And, OU has been found VERY lacking.

LoL

Mmmm.... Fixed!
I can't get the plaque in my level to work right, though.

Its info(0) property is set to 290, which is my convo's ID.
The convo has 4 parts, and the 4th one has one response ("Interesting...") that skips to line #20.

But, when I walk in front of the sprite, I don't get anything. It justs pretends it's not there.

Help??

You've done everything right, that just happens sometimes. Just make sure you put your plaque in a place where ferazel can "grab it" easily.

Correction: the first TWO levels are lacking. You haven't gotten to Hurricane yet. Dr. tall loved that level, and I value HIS opinion more than yours. 😛 And I don't think it is fair to say that FoK will "kill" all other level sets since you haven't played Dr. Tall land.

I actually have new ideas. (you know what i mean, twig-boy)
Oh, and Mark: I have plans for FoK2 (through the volcano) which will be ~9 levels.

Best way to do plaques is copy the conversation from the original levels using ResEdit and then paste it into your level. That's the only way I get mine to work.

There won't be a fight because there won't be a contest.

Coolest levelsets:
FoK FoK FoK FoK FoK FoK FoK FoK FoK FoK FoK FoK (drtall) (obw)

That depends on whether you make them playable, or so feindishly complex that any sane person will take one look at them and give up.

RevenantChaos got me sick :mad: so I was unable to see LOTR. And, the movie is sold out 'till next week. EV: Nova did NOT come out––it looks like we'll see it early January––and Classic quit, making me do a whole conversation in Mascot. The only 2 good things that happened were that The Dark Side came to be 90% completed and I got to play THPS2 a bunch.
