A bit of optimization...

<John Lewis> Brilliant! I solved it last night. This is one of the greatest levels ever!! Very clever, especially how you push the marbles in the same order every time...

<Tom 7> Brian: It would help me if you could zip up your whole escape directory and send it to me (before doing anything that might make the problem go away), since if it's crashing predictably then that means it's not handling some (probably broken) data correctly, when it should be. I can probably fix it for you.

If updating doesn't fix the problem with the Deleted dir, then it's probably a problem in your player file, like a bad solution. You probably won't lose any solutions: the game keeps versioned backups (as Potetz.esp.~nnnn), and the player file can also be edited to remove individual solutions fairly easily.
<Max> Oh man, sorry Brian! I feel terrible that I've caused you such woes, especially since you've dutifully solved it the intended way each time, but it was the only way to fix the level. Guess I should have issued a warning. The same method will work, though, if not the same exact set of moves, since you have to start off pushing...
<bpotetz> Ack! When I found I could not cntrl-0 this from v3 (I've always played it the intended way), I tried to open up a second instance of escape to copy off of (running Win2k), but it crashed when I opened the Deleted directory, and now it always crashes when I open Deleted, even if I only have 1 instance up. I guess I'll have to reinstall.
<Max> This is much tighter now, once again thankfully without having to sacrifice any of the level's intent. I even got to add in another mechanism to the pile ;). Thanks John for helping me clean this one up!

<Max> Moved to graveyard:
Damn, this is going to probably take a bit of work to fix. Thanks for finding the problems John.

Button Blocker: The Challenge (v3)

Thu 23 Jun 2005 19:16

<Max> (SPOILER) Although I am frustratingly able to get all of the hearts only teleporting once -- I just get trapped on the last one!
<Max> This should be the definitive version of Button Blocker -- I can't imagine tightening it up anymore without losing the main point of the level.
