Anything dropped into it disappears even when the wall is active and has space below. 
sorry. it was a huge mis... mistype 
Providing they work as intended, which I didn't test yet. You step in and come out on the opposite on the next teleporter found (including the one you stepped in), which has space there. If there in none, you can't step in in the first place. Therefore, it may be necessary to block some teleporters first in order to reach other destinations. If placed well, this might allow interesting puzzles.CWS wrote:I do not fully understand the Transporter element.
This is not related to the new CD7 elements. There is simply a Firefly touching a Voodoo Doll. Take a closer look at the bottom left corner, and you can see what happens. The map is a clone of the first Bone Cruncher map, and at the place of the key, there is also a deadly trap in the original map.Why does the Player explode when collecting the key in CD7 "Bone cruncher"?
This is also Bone Cruncher inspired, but not completely identical, though. In Bone Cruncher, you need to collect 5 skelletons, then cook, and then you are be able to change the direction with a countdown. In CD7, it is basically the same, except you don't need the skeletons and the pots are used up. It's quite simple: "Collect" a pot, and the gravity switch will be activated. You can only collect a pot when the gravity switch is inactive, which also might be used to create interesting puzzles.How do I exactely use the gravity switch (in combination with the pot)?
Code: Select all
Map=x1 y1 x2 y2 [element] map
Fill a subsection with a map with char codes as in a [map]-section. The map begins in a new line.
If element is given, only draw this element, ie. all other characters are considered background.I maganed to make it even more precise, but it never will be. For "two deaths", it would require to make (we guessed that...) 2-seconds hatching AND timing to be precise at the same time... Which is even more hopeless."C64 scheduling" is getting close, but explosions are far too fast. Very noticeable in "Crazy Dream 9" "Two Deaths" for example.
Well, the BD-Inside-Faq says, that:In CrLi import, "PAL timing" should be always active. The CrLi engine has NTSC detection, and even adjust the game to PAL timing on those
As you plan to have the games as BDCFF eventually, it should be no problem to just tweak the hatching delay to match the original. This cave was just mentioned as an example. There are many caves where a lot of explosions are going on. Even more noticeable on "Crazy Dream 2" cave e.cirix wrote:I maganed to make it even more precise, but it never will be.

i don't know how i could detect this. for 1stb-engine games, the version number is overwritten by the packer. is this true for crli-games?In 1stB V2.2 caves, you can assume dirtmod always active and give amoeba the same color as slime. V2.6 caves should remains as they are now, though. That would be the only difference between V2.2 and V2.6, not even directly related to cave format. Since there is a bug turning V2.6 caves into V2.2 under certain conditions, you should assume all V2.2 caves actually V2.6 if there is any V2.6 cave present.
Well, you could just disregard the version number and read out the actual dirt graphic in 1stB games, since there is none with custom dirt graphic, and due to the lack of an graphic editor, there probably never will. One byte should do as there really are only two cases.cirix wrote:i don't know how i could detect this. for 1stb-engine games, the version number is overwritten by the packer.
No, there is no dirtmod graphics available for the CrLi engine at all, thus you can always assume no dirtmod. However, I can't promise it staying that way, once I release the CrLi Enemiedesigner. Although, a dirtmodded set is unlikely to appear even then, since the few dirtmod fans (mainly Prof. Knibble and No One) aren't active in the Boulder Dash scene for many years now.is this true for crli-games?
Interesting feature indeed. I noticed 2 bugs there, so far:cirix wrote:- exporting caves and cavesets into a format loadable by c64 crazy light construction kit (with that, you can create a c64 executable of your gdash caves!)
