Umm, no offence, but those levels ****ing suck. Learn how to use MASCOT before you start churning out worlds that an 11-year-old could've done better on.
Saying something "**** sucks" isn't very constructive. Instead of just saying that, why don't you use your tremendous Mascoting skills to help improve the levels. No one knows how old anyone is around here, so calling someone an eleven year old might not be that far off the mark. It was a call for BETA testing. (not released to general consumption)
Get a little compassion in your life.

ML: You haven't seen these levels. The first one is just "A Scent of Peril", same FG, but modified sprites. The next ones don't even have the background tiles filled in. Basically, it's Teraknorn duplicated. And BTW, I'm 11. If you want to know how much better an 11-year-old's levels are than these, play Xichra's Revenge, and look for the level "Weird-o Shape of Fire" or "Ice Crawl". Both of those, and more, are mine. Then play this world. You'll see what I mean.

The point is: If you can't say something nice, at least say something constructive. My original admonition stands. If you're so good, help.
Ditto to every last one of MonsterLady's polite words. There are like a bijillion better ways to make constructive criticism. Again it is a Beta, not a final release.

zamzx zik, don't listen to Ferazel_09 he's just got sour grapes in his mouth right now, he'll spit 'em out soon enough. Could you e-mail me the password, I would be happy to give you some feedback.

Meh, maybe you're right. Sure they're okay, but zamzx, learn how to use a FG Tilemap. It will save you much pain.

I have seen the levels - and yes they are unfinished - but I'm sure they can be completed to make a good level set. You have had much more experience producing levels than zamzx - share it! A few handy tips like "use the keypad to move around Mascot" and "you can fill in large spaces by using (command & F)" go a whole lot further than destructive criticism.

ML..you just actually saved ferazel_09 a karma slap because after your admonishment, he admitted that he was wrong. Which was good. ferazel..I'm glad you know that how you handled that was totally out of line. You don't call names and rip someone else up. That'a a huge no no. Most eleven year-olds can figure that much out. Let's help one another, that's what we're here for. Now let's all join hands and sing kumbaya. Ok..we really don't have to do that. Whew.

The first time I heard that, I thought of garbonzo bean dip. I have no idea why.

FG Tilemap???????
------------------ :<) :<( heheheheh

It's a way of making nicely finished maps will all (or most) of the edges continuous so you don't fall through floors and your level looks nice. First draw your layout in black and white in a graphics application. Then reduce the size until it is exactly the same number of pixels as the level is squares ie if your level is 200 X 50 (see level info) than your map should be 200 X 50 pixels at resolution 72.
Then do a 'select all' and 'copy' and proceed to Mascot. Choose the level you want to use and go to "Edit / Paste pict as Smoothed FG tilemap" and bingo! You have a level ready to put all your monsters and bits into. a word of WARNING however. This method replaces what was there previously, so don't do it on a level you have already completed or you will be very cross.
Thanks for the explanation liz. It helped a lot in fixing my levels.
I've been having some trouble with enemy pipes. I don't know how to make different globins fal out of them. I hope to release my latest version to my beta tester by wednesday night.
zamzx zik do you think I should make a teaser of the first level?

Each goblin/monster/sprite has an id which you can find if you open the edit box. Click on the sprite and press "command+E". the id is in the field called 'kind', hence the knife throwing goblin is 1700 and the shield goblin is 1705 etc etc. To make the pipes work put this number in info(0) of the pipe edit. info(1) is the time it takes for the monster to reappear. I think that leaving this at 0 sets it to a default so if you want it to be a really short time you should put it at 1.
Thank you! liz. this is the new levels link.same password. (url="http://"http://www.goldensquare.net/camzy/software/fww1.sit")http://www.goldensqu...ftware/fww1.sit(/url)
