Well, you can copy turtle model wdf file, change it to bmp and edit it to get a yellow shell. I'll try to do it and give you.

Do you want one like that for all the other 5 colors ( green, yellow already)

To answer your questions, the rate I'm going now, Demo 1 would be released in under a week. About the turtle texture, I've already made a whole rainbow of turtles months ago. I'll tweak the yellow one to make it not look "snot" green

Well, I didn't know that; you didn't say that you already colored them.
Is there anything else I can help you with?

UPDATE

75% done all wasteland tests

9% done all levels

I have planned new WA elements.

- Hint floors. Step on them to get information and speical codes for certain coded locks and stuff.
- Buttons that activate more than gates, barrels, etc. They can activate stars, gems, fireflowers, and hints.
- Inactivity signaling tile. They will be darker and will show the location of inactive stuff.
- Code fields. A hidden path must be taken to pass these fields. You can get the path code from hint floors. Making a wrong move will release an ultrafast chomper or something like that.

And another screenshot! Wierd chompers like the one on the left will be ultrafast. The things near the dragonturtles are buttons that can activate stars, gems, etc. The area next to the chomper is a code field. And the tile between the hint and the field is an inactivity signaling one.

Buttons that activate objects do work, I experimented with them, buttons affect things with matching ID. So make a barrel 500 and use a red button. It's a neat trick which I'm looking forward to see in this.

Your adventures are looking good Technos72

Whoa, that means you can activate Stinkers... using buttons.

Yes. Indeed. Si. YA.

Actually barrels don't work. I think it has to have Active adjust. Here's a test level.

UPDATE

90% done yellow levels!

11% done all levels

The last three levels will be interesting. I'm getting down to some really hard levels. I had some fun making test 18. You'll find this level interesting as well as another one. Test 18 will be the last level of hard work for the wasteland tests. I will continue working and I'll finish Demo 1 by the end of the weekend.

WOW you sure swept through this project! At this rate you could have the game 70-80% finished long before the POTZ editor.

But I guess it must not be that hard when all you have to work with is POP magic.

SUGGESTION: After you get through the adventures for the second colour, how about making about 5 adventures or so combining the two magics?

Then after magic 3, 5 adventures with magics 1 and 3, 5 adventures with magics 2 and 3, then 5 more with the 3 magics... and so on... until you get to the 20 adventures with ALL the magics... owait... that would be a bit much wouldn't it?

How about replacing the 5 with 1 instead?

Anyway... If I could figure out how to convert adventures, I would start making ones with the MOFI magic... but I've yet to find a walkthrough detailed enough for me to fully understand...

Just put them in the MOFI level converter.

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 2:14 am

MOFI magic does not require the converter. They will work fine in MOFI without converting.

DEEMAN223344 · Post by **DEEMAN223344** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 2:24 am

Yes, I know that.

I thought converting was basically changing the format of an adventure so it will work in MOFI using the hacked editor... or something like that... STILL not sure what it means to convert an adventure...

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 2:52 am

Some objects require converting to work if you use them. Hence, the "MOFI (Conversion)" wops.

DEEMAN223344 · Post by **DEEMAN223344** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 2:57 am

All the converters do is change the models, because the editor isn't compatible with foreign models. At all.

Yuppors.
I once tried hubbing using the converter.
I succedeed, but all MoFI models looked weird.
A Baby Boomer looked like an exploding barrel, or an gold stinker.
I can't remember.

UPDATE

98% done yellow levels

12% done all levels

Looks like I'm done all levels. I just need to tweak some things in some levels and make the yellow medal stuff. There will be one level so hard that it's almost impossible if you don't save most of the time. So if you don't save the game, save the game. After completing Demo 1, I'll start to work on The Void Test Center where it's all purple and you use blink.

And guess who this is!

What do I do with all the textures for the monsters, springs, etc.? What folder do I move them to?

Technos72 · Post by **Technos72** » Mon Dec 13, 2010 2:01 am

eh... that was a problem. I didn't put them in the custom folder. Now I don't think I can do that because I've already done 20 levels with these textures and it will take a real long time to get the textures to the custom folder with the levels reading it there. Just leave them in the main folder for now.

DEEMAN223344 · Post by **DEEMAN223344** » Mon Dec 13, 2010 2:02 am

All i did was just unzipped it in a new folder, and it worked fine.

gameboy991 · Post by **gameboy991** » Mon Dec 13, 2010 2:43 am

What about the leveltextures?

EDIT: Never mind! I figured it out.

FINALLY I can enjoy this!
