<Jim> Moved to graveyard: Lost a blue piece. <Dave> Guess we've a few more level titles now, are you planning on continuing this? <Jim> 'Return of the Red Balloon' uploaded by Jim: This is easier than the original and can be cooked a bit, but I have decided to include it anyway for your enjoyment. |
 |
<Jim> 'Modular Thinking 15' uploaded by Jim: And now a tad tighter too. |
 |
<Dave> PS. My first, and so far only solve, was about 1900 moves and the same as yours in the important aspects. May try and tidy it up later if I have time. <Dave> Nice job Mark! The ratings are a realistic comment on the series at this stage, and not about the job you did :) Even though I started with a pretty good idea of how to attack it, it still took a while. I think that has formally answered the question about whether we should stop at this point with a very loud and resounding NO. I would have been extremely surprised if 13 didn't have a cook of this nature, it was never intended as a fait accompli, which is why made no comment on the subject of stopping. Will leave 13 up just for now to see if anybody wants to keep it as an intermediate level. Onward... The respite from all the 'mods' yestertday did give me a chance to finally knock off The Wrong Parity. Pen and paper solution took about 5 hours in the end, would have been quicker if I hadn't completely missed the whopper of a clue in the title! Two more to go before I finally have no choice but to make an attempt at Block Cipher. Also finally downloaded the SDL libraries, so I may have a tinker with the source code. How's your triage quest going? |

<mark> 'Modular Thinking 14' uploaded by mark: My solution a bit scruffy,who can tidy it up for me. |
 |
<noname> It should be "occurred". I guess a claim for misspelling must itself contain some mispeling. <noname> Moved to graveyard: It just occured to me that I misspelled Jim's name in the author field. Well, this mod isn't that great anyway, so I'm not going to upload a replacement. |
 |
<devin> 'Independency' uploaded by devin: Just a short level that I will add to later on. |

<Dave> I half agree. If it was a brand new level I would totally agree. I can only speak for myself, but I tend to leave the redundant bits in as a matter of historical interest. The level has developed organically and they show the process. Clearly in both levels the red bot is out of play, and in the Red Balloon, the three remotes are out of play because they no longer do anything worthwhile. The same applies to the bomb, the space has to filled with something so why not leave it there. Everything else is used, in fact some of the other mechanisms have developed more purpose. The trick to Jim's mod will also be needed in my version. In most other respects the intended solutions are very different, even though the Red Balloon solution is backwards compatible. <Dave> I did wonder why you posted there. Continued from 3563: Ctrl-0 only works on the directory you viewing at the time. You just need to come out of triage, go into Minor Leagues and run it again. Are you stuck on Jim's DC5 mod or mine? |
 |
<Dave> That depends whether you are trying to look for solutions in your player file or import them from somewhere else. In the former case you just need the name of your player file (e.g. mm.esp). If after you enter Escape seems to stop responding for a minute then ctrl-0 is working. In the last two mods it shouldn't be possible to get the red bot. |

<Dave> PPS. I'm not sure that one tapestry 950 years ago qualifies Bayeux as a 'tapestry town'. It's a bit like classifying Coventry as a place where the women ride naked on horseback... <Dave> Thanks noname. I have been having a play around with computer.dat this morning. On reflection, I think you a right that 5 and 10 are probably the only levels worth implementing (6 is clearly practically impossible). The force floors in 10 only ever move ice blocks which reduces the problem considerably and it certainly looks like it can be done, but my prototype mechanism is very cumbersome and certainly nowhere near worthy of upload. PS. Mark, you're forgetting me for a start. I may be a Londoner but I live about as far away from there as you can get (Strictly speaking: I live as far away from a spot in the Sahara just outside Tangiers as you can get whilst being confined to the surface of the Earth). :) |
 |
<Dave> I keep pressing ctrl-0. I know it wont acheive anything but it's very therapeutic. <twentyxiii> 'Play Escape v2.0' uploaded by twentyxiii: and now some thing different...you won a new Escape |
|
|
<Dave> PS. I do know how to spell Antarctica :) <Dave> Jim, I thought you were American, that's why I put your name up. 'Blue Bayou' was the giveaway, no BrE speaker would use the word 'bayou' (to be honest, I didn't even know what it meant until I looked it up). So, we've got 4 continents covered in the Mods levels, 3 to go, but I don't hold out much hope for Antartica! |
 |
<Dave> 'Modular Thinking 13' uploaded by Dave: Hopefully this brings some of Kirima's additions into play. |
|
|
<Dave> I've never been to the States (flight transfers excepted) but somehow I feel I know that town... <Dave> After reading Kirima's comment, we have a new series series theme: Eurovision :=) No danger of running out of level titles... Got a vague idea where Gary and noname are but I have no idea where Jim is from though. |
 |
<mark> Moved to graveyard: Great speedrun, thats how i meant to do it. <mark> 'The Red Balloon because' uploaded by mark: Now we can have a series. |
 |
<noname> What a level! Basically the same solution as Dave... |
