Level "H" is now gold thanks everyone.

Hey keeks I was wondering if that affliction of yours "goofy finger" can travel up to the brain... cause I can't think of any other reason I found this level SOOO "challenging"

These levels have all been great.

I just came back searching for a little help on a few of the levels. Now that I've seen some spoilers, I'll get back in there and check it out.

Thank you all for the work you put into these levels.

Wow! I just want to congratulate all the levelmakers on all these fantastic levels! They're all great, and some of them are real masterpieces! Thanks a lot!

Memory Access Violation & Ghost tree...
I was posting on the error someone mentioned on the General forum, but I got such a kick out of this, I had to post it here, too. I didn't want to mention it earlier because I was waiting to see if anyone else noticed it.

Level F is the one causing the Memory Access Violation that so many people are getting. After opening it, either when exiting the level or starting a new one you'll get the error.

The funny part: And this seems to be graphics card related because so far, I haven't found anyone other than me that can see the odd trees. The error also turns a couple trees into ghosts. Kind of. They look like trees, but roam around like ghosts. Has anyone else see this? Am I alone in this haunted forest?

I took a movie of it if you're interested.
http://tatumweb.com/baby/img/ghosttree.avi. Watch the bottom of the movie at first. You'll know it when you see it. It should play with Windows Media Player. If you can't play it, you'll have to just look at this one frame and imaging the fallen tree roaming around haunting stinky:

Oh heck yeah Laura, I have goofy brain all the time.

Thanks for the movie demo Lowray, That is one of the oddest things I've seen in Wonderland yet.

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 6:21 pm

That is one strange thing! There was no problems for me and I didn't have such odd trees.

dlcs18 · Post by **dlcs18** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 6:28 pm

I just looked at that movie and I went "OMG THE TREE IS MOVING!!!!!!!!!
But But"
I just couldn't believe what I saw.
Now that's halloween ain't it

If you liked that, I opened the level in the editor and replaced the ghost with a coily and a ufo to see what would happen.

They're hilarious.

Just when you thought it was safe to go into the woods...da da dah....psycho tree!!

That coily tree looks like a baby one jumping up and down to try and see over the bigger ones. I can just hear it shouting " Me, me. I want to see, I want to see".

What about chompers? Can you get trees that follow Stinky about?

dlcs18 · Post by **dlcs18** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 7:17 pm

And maybe a tree acting like Z-bot!

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 7:21 pm

So funny Loops! Poops - you are so funny too!

Could you make one shoot fire like a cannon? Or blow up like a Boomer?

Loirae · Post by **Loirae** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 7:29 pm

The boomer doesn't work for sure. If I put one in place of one of the three ghosts that are bad, the level won't even open.

I was going to try the other monsters, but people suddenly started sending me scores and I've had to spend time on that. Every time I put in a new monster, when I play the level, I get the Memory Access Violation. So it's not just a quick peek to see if it works. It's lots of time waiting for wonderland to restart and restart and restart. But I will test out all the monsters. Really! I'll make mini movies of any other monster trees, too.

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 7:33 pm

Could you make a tree which works like a shadow stinky (fiery/ordinary)

Loirae · Post by **Loirae** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 7:53 pm

Don't think so. The ghost is an element and the shaddow dudes are tiles. Totally different categories. I could make a tree that looks like a tree.

*Slaps Face*

Of Course! Why didn't I think of that?

Why Why Why?

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 8:22 pm

Ooh! Can you make a tree that acts like a boulder?

laura n. · Post by **laura n.** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 11:31 pm

OMG Loirae that's too funny

Popo you have me ROFLMAO too.

Strange I played & completed that level ... I had no problems with it at all, nor did I see any "ghost tree",

Loirae are you sure you're not playing a early "April Fools" joke on us

or maybe it's an Orb that's invaded wonderland..... ooooowwww

Loirae · Post by **Loirae** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 11:42 pm

I know! It's crazy! And just for Muz, I went in and tried every one of the items. It's only monsters that turn into trees, and only these:
Coily, Zbot, Broken Z bot, Ufo, Ufo Mothership , Ghost, Rainbow spirit. No chompers or kabooms.

I've uploaded more videos. My current favorites are the Rainbow Tree and the Mothertree (which spawns baby trees). http://tatumweb.com/baby/img/trees.html

No, not an April fools trick. Imagine my surprise when I played the level and saw those trees moving.

kiki · Post by **kiki** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 11:52 pm

Those a so cool, I like the rainbow tree the best. Thanks for sharing.

laura n. · Post by **laura n.** » Wed Oct 25, 2006 2:12 am

Loirae, those are all to kwel

But me thinks you have wayyyy to much time on your hands.

Loirae · Post by **Loirae** » Wed Oct 25, 2006 3:40 am

laura n. wrote:But me thinks you have wayyyy to much time on your hands.

Nah. All i had to do was open the level in the editor, change the ghost to something else, and save it. 20 seconds. Oh, and wait for wonderland to reload for each of those since it always gave me an error afterward.

Mahaloof · Post by **Mahaloof** » Wed Oct 25, 2006 9:02 am

Fun movies, Loirae!

Those Mothership Trees would work miracles in the rainforest. People chop down trees, whoops! they grow right back. It'll scare the pants off them.

If we could have boulders that behave like trees, a lot of levels would be way easier. They just stay put. But then, Kiki would never arrive at # 900..

How about trees that behave like Teleporters? You could have Lord of the Rings-like effects. Pippin disappearing into a tree trunk...

I do understand now how Mark makes those impossible puzzles: he just places a tree that looks like an exit!

Thanks for the fun, Loirae.

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Wed Oct 25, 2006 9:17 am

You can have boulders (but not spheres) which act like trees (walls) Put a boulder in the fake floor (the one used to mark houses)

The bouncing tree is cute, the big tree "giving birth" looks painful!

Very interesting occurrence.

I sent my scores and guesses; great job everyone!

Too bad there isn't a prize for the most guessed right, because I'm sure I'd win!

For some reason, I can't get the movie to work. I have Window Media Player. The screen comes up with the colors that are blurred all over the place.

Oh, well!

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Wed Oct 25, 2006 10:32 pm

I'm sure I'd win

Now that's what I call confidence. My scores are in, I didn't do any guessing. Great levels everyone, I'm looking forward to seeing who did what. Sorry Lisa but I bet no one gets mine right..........snicker snicker!!

I have windows media player also and the movies wouldn't play, came back with an error, I even tried downloading them and then opening them but still got the smae thing.

I'm just gonna edit this and add on to it. After I did my post I went back to the .avi's I had downloaded, held the shift key down and went to where it said 'open with' and clicked on real player, it had to do a download but the movies played. So if anyone's having trouble with media player try the real player. In order to download them you have to right click on the movie, go to 'save target as', then save the movie to your desktop or whatever.

Loirae · Post by **Loirae** » Wed Oct 25, 2006 10:56 pm

Thanks for that, Monica. The avi may need a higher version of WMP than you have. I think 9 or 10 or 11. Glad you got it with real player. Hope it was worth the trouble

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Wed Oct 25, 2006 11:44 pm

I don't know, I have 11 which is the newest version. I try to keep everything on my PC up to date. I've had trouble with it before. I probably need to uninstall it and reinstall it, sometimes that helps.
