Contributions 1995-98 bug!

Post by Juusto »

The rockford is moving too fast! When i play these levels in version 1.2.0 the rockford walks with normal speed. Do you know what is the problem?

I hade this same thing when I tried to copy levels from "Original Boulder Dash"levelset. I found on the forum how to make the levels normal. If in the "levelinfo.conf" you add this line:

Code: Select all

latest_engine:                            true
levels work normal. Maybe this thing can help you? :roll:

I noticed this too, but I always assumed it was due to the intial player speed being set to as if you have picked up a speed pill.
I checked just then; the player speed is set to Fast.

How do you add that line? When i click levelinfo.conf it just says: "Windows cant open this file"

You need to open it in notepad or wordpad - and then you'll be in configuration heaven. :)

Find the folder that contains the levelset you're having trouble with, and locate the levelinfo.conf within that folder. Select it and windows will give you an option to select a program from the list. Do that and select notepad or wordpad. Once the file is opened, add "latest_engine: true" (without the quotes) somewhere within the text, and then save the file.
Hope this works out. :)

Look in INITIAL PLAYER SPEED in level editor before you add "latest_engine: true" in levelinfo.conf and after.
Before I had FAST speed and after - NORMAL.

Try putting it somewhere after the file identifier. If problems persist (but, I hope they don't), could you paste the whole contents of your levelinfo.conf into your post? Good luck this time. :)

Here:

Code: Select all

file_identifier:        ROCKSNDIAMONDS_LEVELINFO_FILE_VERSION_3.1 ; add this line
name:                   boulder dash sim
author:                 Peter Liepa
imported_from:          Original Boulderdash
levels:                 100
first_level:            0
sort_priority:          100
latest_engine:          true ; add this line
level_group:            false
readonly:               false
handicap:               false
graphics_set:           bds_gfx
sounds_set:             bds_sfx
music_set:              bds_mus
Try to add "latest_engine" line and change "file_identifier" line into this one.
