Four Fold Maze FtE Challenge - RELEASED

by Matan · in Marble Blast · 05/21/2006 (4:39 am) · 30 replies

Here's a quick preview for a new level I'm making. It's from the level code :)
I am yet to set Qualify Time and Gold Time. I haven't started it yet, but you better play the one you already know. You may never know what can happen...

Also, can you see where what this level is about to contain? Guess and post here :)

new ScriptObject(MissionInfo) {
         artist = "Matan Weissman";
         name = "Four-Fold Maze's Find the Exit Challenge";
         time = "0";
         type = "advanced";
         desc = "Find the jewels and the exit in this M.C. Escher style maze.";
         level = "53";
         goldTime = 0;

Hmm... I'm guessing find the exit in three fold maze with a twist. Wow, that'd be really hard.

I got Andrew Patterson to test it out for me. Yay!

Anyway I need 1 more tester.

Here's more of the code of the now 23% completed level. Care to take a guess of the end twist? ;)

Also, the time travels that are currently available (12 of them, total of 130 seconds [2:10 minutes]) should be enough since 1st of all the level is quite hard and you need to get some Gyrocopters all the time (more work!) and considering I finished only 1 area, I think 2:10 is enough at the moment, but there should be more!

That was quite a lot of work just for something so small! I've done like 4 hours!

new ScriptObject(MissionInfo) {
         type = "advanced";
         time = "0";
         desc = "Find the jewels and the exit in this M.C. Escher style maze.";
         artist = "Matan Weissman";
         goldTime = "0";
         level = "53";
         name = "Four-Fold Maze\'s Find the Exit Challenge";
         startHelpText = "Welcome to Four-Fold Maze's Find the Exit Challenge.";


   new Item(timetravel1) {
      position = "unknown";
      rotation = "1 0 0 0";
      scale = "1 1 1";
      dataBlock = "TimeTravelItem";
      collideable = "0";
      static = "1";
      rotate = "1";
         timeBonus = "65000";


   new Item(timetravel2) {
      position = "unknown";
      rotation = "1 0 0 0";
      scale = "1 1 1";
      dataBlock = "TimeTravelItem";
      collideable = "0";
      static = "1";
      rotate = "1";
         timeBonus = "15000";


   new Trigger(secret) {
      position = "unknown";
      rotation = "1 0 0 0";
      scale = "5 3 3";
      dataBlock = "HelpTrigger";
      polyhedron = "0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 1.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 -1.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 1.0000000";
         text = "You found the secret time travels area! Congratulations!";


   new Trigger(EndArea) {
      position = "unknown";
      rotation = "1 0 0 0";
      scale = "6 6 6";
      dataBlock = "HelpTrigger";
      polyhedron = "0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 1.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 -1.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 1.0000000";
         text = "Did you like my end twist? Congratulation on finishing Four-Fold Maze Find the Exit Challenge!";

I need testers ASAP :)

It's rather completed :)

Here's the screenshot I took for the level (looks better here than in the game itself). It's amazing what I've done. 20 Gems to find and lots of amazing and cool stuff!

- Secret area
- Time travels that give lots of extra time
- Some weird and fun twists!

I just need to add some more static finish pads and that's it!

I need testers anyway..

MEANWHILE THE LAST THING YOU'LL SEE ABOUT THIS LEVEL BEFORE RELEASE IS THIS AWESOME SCREENSHOT! FIND ALL THE GRAVITY MODIFIERS!

Looks hard. Way to hard for me.... I couldn't even beat three fold maze lol.

You have many Gyros there and I've replaced the gems. Should be easier.
#6
06/09/2006 (2:26 pm)
Easier?! You're dreaming...

(I have an early version of it - I can assure you it's way hard.)

What? The position for the time travel is unknown!
#8
06/09/2006 (3:49 pm)
I deleted the position and said unknown so people wouldn't search for it using the code :)

The code at the level itself has the position.

It's just for mystery I said Unknown.

I deleted some gems and added easier ones and added Gyros and many help triggers (over 10 included!) and many cool twists.

The gems delete are mainly from cubes and added easier ones.

It is hard at some point but I made sure it's possible by the very helpful Gyrocopters! Carry one with you at all times.

I added many more time travels as well! That brings qualify and gold times down. QF is for those who cannot find the 'BIG' time travels and GT for those who found most of them.

There are funny text messages too!

Umm... I'll try but I most likely won't be able to beat it.
#13

I think the gold time of 7:30.00 should be raised to 12:30.000 minutes and the qualify time from 15 minutes to 30 minutes.

I cannot seem to be able to find the last 2 gems. Talk about ME unable to find the gems!

Where's testcheats when you need it?



BTW - Fun in this maze... yes or no?

YES!

Level Released!

DOWNLOAD HERE:

My best is currently 2:30 minutes but I plan on getting less!

This level is rather medium-hard in challenge so take your time. The qualify and gold times are VERY HIGH so take your time. You will not find all gems so quickly so again take your time!

The end twist is amazing so you better work on it first. I am happy with it too!

PLEASE REVIEW :) I ALWAYS REVIEW AND BARELY GET ANY BACK!
