unsolvable level 138 from microban

Post by sokoban »

Hello,

It seems to me that Sokoban's level 138 from Microban is unsolvable.

I agree. Seems like one object is missing. There are 5 fields and only 4 objects, making it unsolveable.

I runned RND Scripter BETA 3 (will be released soon) on some of those Sokoban levelsets with a "Sokoban level check" script and it returned the following:

Code: Select all

(I found that thing by manually, by pure luck. Let me know if you want a script to do those checks ;))

Also note that I skipped the "Element is sokoban related" check for the sb_sokomania_spaceship levelsets. Running that check as well would result in a lot of reports about sokoban unrelated elements.

The "Is sokoban level" script is based on the Rules for Sokoban levels in the RnD documentation by Francesco

Too late, just added a few lines in my current script to make that check ;)

No more gravity ports found :)

That's good to know! Do you have the tape files from solving them? They could then be added as reference solutions to this set!

I just ran into this. Indeed level 6 in sasquatch is pretty hard to win.

I quote myself:

C:\Documents and Settings\Zomis\My Documents\Rocks'n'Diamonds\levels\Extra\Sokoban\sb_sokomania_spaceship_1\004.level
So the answer is: No, that level is not solveable because of the gravity port.

Hi

Can the level be edited to add the missing element in Microban level 138 ?

I tried adding Readonly: false to the config file but I am not allowed to save it

That is using notepad in Windows7 64 bit

The game runs fine
