<N7DOT 3> well, thank you for the comment, but i don't think it is best in triage, however, it will still be available in graveyard, incase anyone is interested.
<Dave> Deleted and difficulty 2? This is the first new level for months that's taken more than half a hour to solve! Each to their own, I guess.
However, it is bit irritating to play and has much more brute force trial and error than the elegant levels that inspired it. Definitely, IMHO, not your worst level and nowhere near as irritating as some levels still lurking in triage. |

<Dave> Here's a little tip: http://escape.spacebar.org/f/a/escape/level/####?spoilers=1
change the #### in the url to the level of your choice and read the comments so that you understand the concept of the level before claiming a cook (also download the original solution).
I can't recall ever cooking a Max level ;)
<Dave> @Karlodinium: Pressing the Y key is NOT a cook. The whole concept of the game is that there is no hidden information, that's why the Y hotkey does what it does. |

<Dave> Thanks Jim. You are correct, the panel was part of an earlier prototype but it was veering too far from the original, so I ditched the plan but left one panel by mistake.
As it clearly does nothing, it hardly seems worth deleting and reloading the level, unless someone can come up with a bizarrely unlikely cook that uses it.
<Jim> This is definitely an improvement Dave, nice job. Although I wonder if you had another intended improvement with the dot at the bottom which doesn't do anything, just wondering. |

<Dave> Now, this is a really nice level. No brute force required, just logic (plus pen and paper!). Thanks Gary, if your still out there. |

<N7DOT 3> Not hard? This is actually quite a challenge for me... |

<N7DOT 3> Great Run! I'm glad it doesn't HAVE to take a long time, as that degrades the quality of the level... |

<N7DOT 3> I've found a way to exit through only the so far unsolved side of the level. Now I challenge anyone to see who can figure it out first. |

<Dave> Sorry that was my fault. I've never had a tick next to minor leagues, but that's because Bob7 and Bob7II (which far outclass this level in the 'banally pointless and irritating level league') remain unsolved. I'm having them checked out to see if they should carry an RSI warning before solving ;-) |

<Dave> Thanks Tom, I have posted a reply in the feedback forum as it seems a more appropriate place to continue this thread.
<Tom 7> Yes, this is deliberate. The regular level loader excludes levels that don't pass sanity checks, but the editor lets you load them (I think they show in red or something?). It sanitizes them when it does, but in the old days when I was changing the rules somewhat often to fix bugs, it was necessary for rescuing levels. |

<Dave> "I wonder where some of these ratings ae coming from"? he asked sarcastically. Difficulty 5 put on every level yet all solved within a couple of minutes... now what doesn't equate here? |

<Dave> I never noticed this before: Using the current version the malformed levels don't show up in the level list in play mode but they do show in edit mode. Obviously, they are no longer playable and when saved the editor corrects them to a non-malformed state.
<Dave> Thanks. Found an old version in a backup and they play fine. Now I see your point!
<radiant> The levels still exist in game data, and are even downloaded if you request quarantine. But if you're using a version of the game updated to SVN r1181 (official release 200912250) or newer, it now looks at certain aspects of level construction to make sure they aren't self-contradictory, and refuses to show levels that are. The prior release (200704130) will still list those levels and keep them in a solvable state, as will a custom source build where you simply don't apply those changes.
<Dave> And, #2 has obviously been lifted from Conflict. I do vaguely remember your malformed series, I was very new to the game at the time. It begs the question, what has happened to them and all the other levels "moved to quarantine" since 2005? |
