Adventure #18: The End of the Beginning

TheThaumaturge · Post by **TheThaumaturge** » Wed Jan 11, 2012 3:37 am

Finally! I beat procrastination and laziness to complete this adventure for you guys.

As usual, it will require my music pack, which can be found here.

---BOUNTY MOUNTAIN TRILOGY---
#1: The Big City
#2: Congestion
#3: The End of the Beginning

After helping that stinker in the sewer system, you are finally close to your destination, the City Hall being just in sight. Can you get to The Mayor in time?

Also, there's a major plot twist at the end. All the foreshadowing will be explained in the next adventure, which will contain tons of storyline.

Alright guys, enjoy!

Dragonturtle puzzle: Great glitch! The puzzle itself was clever too, but I only needed three Dragon Turtles (but I ended up accidentally destroying one via spring, so I guess it doesn't count

).
Scritter puzzle: I liked this puzzle more than I usually like Scritter puzzles. Maybe it's because everything fell into place exactly the way I wanted it to.

Fireflower fight:

Button Popping from ice: Frustrating...
Brr lakes: Good, but I think you're starting to use these TOO much.

The puzzle was actually an accident, at first I didn't mean it to be that way but when the dragonturtle swam after being hit by the spring, my light bulb lit up.

Believe me, it took me many tries to get some of the scritters to go the right way.

Sorry, I was running out of ideas.

Brr lakes: Good, but I think you're starting to use these TOO much.

Yeah, I wasn't going to use any, but I was running out of ideas on that last floor so I just threw them in. :3

Wait, so you're saying that there's no star? NOOOO! I CAN'T LIVE WITH A BIG, FAT, RED "NO" FOREVER ON MY ADVENTURE LIST!

I thought Dean killing you was a bad ending or something. Perhaps you should have made it clearer that the adventure was supposed to end that way. IIRC, executing CMD 7 while the player is dying will make him alive and intact. Perhaps you should've made it so that the player gets CMD 7'd into a room with the star after he dies.

BTW, I found a glitch: You can talk to Guttenburg (is that his name?) over and over again for infinite coins after rescuing Sammy_Bro and Master Wonder Mage.

Oops. I didn't know that.

His name is Rudderford.

As for the spoilers:

Oh. I didn't know that either. I'll try to do that and maybe leave a little more for you to speculate on what wil happen next. Thanks, Kooky!

I dunno if the CMD 7 technique will actually work, but I think I saw it happen before in one of Master Wonder Mage's adventures.

EDIT:

Oh, right. I've clearly been studying too much World History recently.

Surely there's a stinker named Johann Guttenburg who invented the movable type printing press...

Yes, the command 7 technique does work. I really think you should use it, at least so that we can know if we got gold or not. Also, it doesn't make sense for him to do so much running, and then be able to instantly kill you. Maybe he likes his cape to much?

Sorry I delayed this so much, but I have a question:

SPOILERS wrote: I'm not really sure how to make the CMD 7 technique work. Do I release a dragonturtle that will step on a CMD 7 button before you get killed? Or is there another way?

Oh, I didn't think of that. Thanks Emerald!

TheThaumaturge · Post by **TheThaumaturge** » Sun Jan 22, 2012 6:13 pm

Ok, what's happening now is that if I place the kill command before the teleport command for the NPC to step on, it kills you but doesn't teleport you. If I place the teleport command first then it does teleport you but doesn't kill you. Am I doing something wrong?

There's just a one tile gap between them, and the NPC has a movement speed of 40. I just can't seem to make it work.

Let the player be killed by chompers.

It does work, just only if you're killed by a chomper or something.

I think the fire trap would be much more convinient, since I can't seem to be able to fit the spikeyball and spring anywhere. I'll try now. Thanks guys!

Yes, that works too. I survived getting hit by a fire trap via CMD 7 while I was testing something in Carnifex Makes An Adventure.

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Mon Jan 23, 2012 1:27 am

DP.

I think your original method will actually work. If you were using CMD 5 Data1 -1, then you were probably destroying the General Command that activated CMD 7. Try setting the ID of that General Command to something other than -1.

TheThaumaturge · Post by **TheThaumaturge** » Mon Jan 23, 2012 1:28 am

Ah, I hadn't thought of that. Gonna try that now.

EDIT: That did the trick! Thank you Kooky!

Bumpity Dumpity

After a seriously long hiatus from the Editor, I just finished remaking this adventure's ending. The new adventure is now attached. Now I can start working on my next one. Hope you guys enjoy!

Can someone please give me a hint for the turtles? I know the glitch but I still can't solve the puzzle.

yot yot5 · Post by **yot yot5** » Mon May 07, 2012 3:22 pm

No problem! I just got it!

I didn't even use the glitch. Just got the turtles around the pool.
