Re: The Sunnylands (K4 levelpack)

Hey could someone please update the "level packs" section of the main Galaxy Mods page over at the Wiki? I don't see Sunnylands listed there yet

In Sunnylands, something pretty cool happened to me.
I'll bet that not many people noticed that, but the "No swimming" sign was in K4 written in English, yet here it was in SGA. That alone is not so exciting, but as part of some larger unreleased project, I've been working on translating just such occurences myself - and this sign looked suspiciously similiar, so much that I had to make comparison pictures. While there are tiny differences, it is incredible for me to see how two independent people could end up with basically same desing!![]()
Ah, glad to hear that's not the case! Also nice to see that another one is interested in seeing me do a Keen 6 levelpack! About my username, I never really thought about Ceilick while coming up with it, so I'd say it's more of a coincidence (and a very interesting one at that).Nisaba wrote: ↑Sun Apr 29, 2018 7:13@Quillax @Shikadi-Network
ok, just tested everything and it's actually false information. the secret level just features the janitor and the eight council guys are located in regular levels... in other words, one doesn't need to find the secret level to beat the game.
ps.: Yes, please! I'd love to see a K6 levelpack designed by Quillax.
pps.: Is your name Quillax suppose to be an imperfect ananym of Ceillick?
Thanks for posting that, Nisaba! If you can get on contact with Tesseract, then tell them that I appreciate the feedback! I'm also amused by how close my "NO DIVING" sign is to the one shown in the other screenshot.Nisaba wrote: ↑Mon Jul 23, 2018 22:37Tesseract wrote:[...] Also, I got around to play Sunnylands - in case someone haven't played it yet, Quinton managed to absolutely perfectly match Keen 4 difficulty level there, which is IMO very rare.

-snipping out images-
For the record, I don't think sacrificing the wold map scrolling is a good idea. If you're already changing the scrolling style, you might as well do it correctly and add the underwater/world map scrolling for all levels that need it. Don't listen to naysayers who say it's impossible. It most definitely is possible if you know what you're doing.namida wrote: ↑Fri Sep 06, 2019 19:39The only thing I'd point out is that in Dumb Lake, the vertical scrolling is awful. There's a patch out there - I saw it in "Keen 4 Ultimate Edition" - which gets proper underwater scrolling for two levels, at the cost of having awkward scrolling on the world map - I think this is preferable, as the world map is a fairly safe place so it's less critical to have proper scrolling there.
I mean, if that is possible, even better. But I got the impression that currently, there's no known way (short of a full-blown source mod) to have that scrolling on more than two levels, and while an ideal outcome would be having it on all three, I think having it on the actual levels that need it is more important than having it on the world map.K1n9_Duk3 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 06, 2019 22:44For the record, I don't think sacrificing the wold map scrolling is a good idea.
