Iron Tower Dizzy [PROGRESS THREAD]

Good luck with this Queex,
Looking good :tup:

Iron Tower Dizzy rises from the dead!

A new floor. This should be the last demo version, as all of the main novelties will have been introduced.

YEEEEESSSSSSS! {yolkfolk}:yahoo:

I'm very much looking forward to this game! I do hope you manage to get it finished and released sometime. I don't suppose you have any idea when that will be do you? :tongue:

in the third room, I got the following error when trying to use the green keycard next to the yellow barrier on the right:

GS_ERROR: BADTYPE, fn=ObjGet, line=-1, file="unknown"
GS_DESC: 1, 0, ""
CALLSTACK: ObjGet:-1 < DropObject:204 < UseObject_371:529 < UseObject:185 < ActionObject:279 < Action:24 < .

Ah- that's an error mode I'd missed on the test play-through.

Imagine you saw the messages:

"There's a locked box around what looks like a card reader."
"You'll have to find the key to it first."

As to when it's done- I intend to get it finished for this year's competition. I'm enthusiastic about it at the moment, and there are 2 proper floors and the end game yet to be done. Should find time before the end of February, at the latest.

I simply cannot remember how to make dark blue paint. I've even been through the code, and it seems I should be offered 4 colour options, one of which, if I use 'blue paint' should make it dark blue. I've tried blue paint on all 4 options, and can only get blue, Green, Purple, and Brown paint.

What on earth do I have to do to make dark blue?

EDIT:: it's ok, I remembered. {yolkfolk}:meh:

Ahh that's what I use the key for! I just dev-moded past the barrier! :tongue:

It's *really* difficult to jump onto that clock ledge.

EDIT:: also, that while block with black swirl on it on dizzy's side, you can drop the slingshot and walkie talkie in front of it

EDIT:: Hey, what happened to the lift to the 3rd floor? it's disappeared!

1) Noted, will be changed for the final version.

2) Well spotted- I'd used DoDropObject instead of DropObject in a few places nad should be fixed in the final version everywhere it happened.

3) Have you tried using the lift call buttons?

now I'm stuck at the gongs with a glass of orange juice

yes, nothing happens. I used dev mode to get up, and there's no actual lift there! (dizzys side)

Also:

Found the problem- reading the upper position from the wrong object on the lift button. Hence using it sets the destination to y 0.

ObjSet(ObjFind(352),O_USER,664);
ObjSet(ObjFind(352),O_USER+1,728);

And then using the call button should fix it. Just wait on floor 3 for it to appear. Or use dev mode to move between 3 and 4 on that side.

dammit I meant to quote this before:

Have you done everything you can on Daisy's side?

as far as I can see, yes.

Have you drawn back the curtains?

yes, but they go back when I step off the button

What about the curtains on Daisy's side?

I've not seen any curtains on daisy's side yet.
