There were a couple of levels that did seem a bit tedious I will admit. At least they change up the pace a little around level 13.

LightWolf

I could create an invite pretty easily?

Maybe the channel you're linking to makes a difference.

LightWolf

I think a global robot counter would be easier. As the mine loads, add one every time a robot is placed. When a robot dies, subtract one. When a robot spawns, check if it was not from a matcen; If not, add one, else add one to the spawned bots counter. Also IMO there should be a numeric boss HP mete...

LightWolf

Happy to confuse :P Looks like what they did is extract the exit sequence info from the D2 demo. I saw a download file (d2exit.zip) , still gotta check it out. Looks like the data is only readable by source ports however. If we go through with this we may have to make sure every exit tunnel works. I...

LightWolf

What if there were a speedrun mode that activated level timers, robots remaining, etc.?

LightWolf

Try F3.

LightWolf

You put DESCENT.HOG and DESCENT.PIG into the data folder IIRC.

LightWolf

Trying to decide if it would work better with a green or icy level.

LightWolf

If one of my levels has a MIDI song that isn't D2L1, then that was what I was thinking of for that level.
Quick thing I should mention: Currently level 4 has D1L8, meaning that secret level 3 (Quartzon Planetary Vault) would use that same song. IMHO D1L8 doesn't sound too watery.

LightWolf

For non-MIDI there isn't much you can do, at least in terms of vanilla support. As for MIDI, all you need to do is either find (in the case of anything built into D1 or D2, where it would be in the respective .HOG) or convert your midi (MIDI2HMP or DTX2) to a .HMP file.

LightWolf

What other textures did you try?

LightWolf

If I have to delete and reimport that POG one more time...

At least I got the time to do another geometry pass taking me up to 898 segments...

LightWolf

Well, here it is with Puuma Sphere textures in a couple extra spots!

Sa-Matra I
(Bonus Earthshakers if you know where I get the name from)

Also unless I have an outdated version of the POG, that monitor came from D1-GR4 into an ice.pig level without any PIG changes since.

LightWolf

Here's what came of the idea:

(The last image is an issue I noticed with the D1-GR4 POG)

Shall I send the level?

LightWolf

I know what the secret level is

Was the other project idea meant to be a number of levels similar to (at least the start of) that level?

LightWolf

I gotta ask...
What was the other project idea?

LightWolf

You could play for a slow score to get something on the leaderboard, then try to improve.

LightWolf

I had an idea for the Tycho Brahe boss level, built around a variation on Io's key thing (yellow is in no security rather than red) and having lava mixed in with the ice. As for the boss, I had an idea to focus it around having several entry points to the actual arena, making that the strategic aspe...

LightWolf

You can try googling "obs frozen first frame" and seeing if any of the solutions in the various forum posts do anything. Other than that all I can say is that OBS has worked consistently in Rebirth for me.

LightWolf

I feel late to the party

@Alter

I once had that reactor bug playing First Strike. Seems like that's just a weird quirk with D2X-XL. The exit opening is likely a failsafe.

LightWolf

Are you sure you need to launch in fullscreen? 'cause I'm pretty sure you can switch ingame.

LightWolf

If you put '-fullscreen 0' into config/d2x.ini, this will do the trick. Random fact: This is actually how I got XL working on my laptop. OpenGL freaks out trying to start fullscreen with some weird 320x200 video mode error or something strange like that, but I can switch to fullscreen after just fin...

LightWolf

For some reason trying to play Achondrite via jukebox causes the audio to fail followed by Rebirth crashing.

You'd write TC in for everything?

LightWolf

There is definitely a notable lack of space in some levels - I tried to minimalize start rooms to free cubes for the bulk of the level. Only a few have rooms that accommodate coop starts, but most of them are too small - especially level 22, where you can allow a single extra start if you don't mind...

LightWolf

Would require some tweaking, involving extra cubing...
I might make a rule-ignoring coop version if you wouldn't mind the rule-ignoring-ness.

LightWolf

I have no idea. Just extracted the ZIP on my end into my other Rebirth install and it worked fine.
Try redownloading the ZIP and see if that fixes it.

LightWolf

About a year or so ago I gave myself a challenge: Complete a list of requirements (outlined in briefing) making 24 levels in 100 segments or less. This is the result: http://www.enspiar.com/dmdb/viewMission.php?id=1613 I do know that the level 19 track is too slow. If there is an HMP expert who can ...

LightWolf

Looks like I forgot to copy 4-8 from the ZIP.
No wonder the playlist was so short.

LightWolf

Just noticed you left Coda out.

LightWolf

That might work better.

LightWolf

You should include a little blurb about how my submissions are my debut pieces.

I distinctly remember saying "is"...

LightWolf

With the first level in, Overload Community Project 1 is off to a start!

LightWolf

I meant in terms of size

All things considered though, there isn't a possibility of someone outdoing your levels :3

LightWolf

I think I can keep it going - how long was I submitting BS into Descent 1 1/2 hoping something would make it? :P I know it's not quite the same thing, but still. I was hoping for roughly 20ish levels overall, but I won't be disappointed as long as I get something memorable that is longer than Eodem ...

LightWolf

With people having figured out the Overload editor reasonably well, I think it's about time one of these happened. The premise behind OCP1 is basically the same as that of The Enemy Within: Quality levels based around a structural theme with a license to be as wacky as you want (within reason :P ). ...

LightWolf

I tried to edit something earlier, and it gave me a 405 error (invalid request or something like that) and said something about "ngxdomain".

Edit: Now it works? How's that for irony?
What I originally edited to say was that I just got the error in trying to post this.

LightWolf

I wasn't submitting the particular level... Just the texture scheme...
Either way, any advice on how to make the scheme fit better into ZA, if only for personal ventures?
