Title: Epic Old Knytt Stories Levels Dump (169 levels!)
Post by: TheYeIIowDucK on October 10, 2011, 21:42:20
I have a large collection of old Knytt Stories levels I've gathered over the years. Some date as far back as the old forums era. I've decided to create a torrent with all these levels on it. Feel free to download it and try them out yourself.

Note: I've been suffering from a bad case of shiternet over the last month, so expect inconsistency in the downloading process. Also note that I am using an ADSL connection and it might be slow at times.

I'll try my best to keep uTorrent up at nights. Although I can't promise anything beyond that, I assure you that I will not close the torrent before 1.2GB were uploaded. This torrent can and will stay alive as long as other people will seed it, so, for the love of god,
SEED!

If you have any kind of a decent torrent program, it should display a ratio for each torrent. If it doesn't, simply calculate it yourself: Divide how much you've uploaded by how much you've downloaded. Is the result lower than 2? Keep on seeding!

Here is the download link to the .torrent file. If you don't know how to download torrents - shame on you! Search Google for the answer.

I've started the download, and since I have a 10 mbit up connection, I'll continue to seed this for a while. :)

EDIT: I still have 0%, so we'll have to wait for TheYeIIowDuck to seed some more :)

I seriously have no idea why.
My uTorrent is up and the torrent is force initial-seeding with all other torrents stopped :/

I'm at 3.8%, so it does work.

Just checked. I'm currently seeding. Expect nice download speeds of approx. 300 kB/s or maybe higher, depending on the time of the day. (I raise the speeds at nights since I'm not using my connection then; goes up to 750kB/s :) )

Should I turn of the "initial seeding" option now?

Oh I am, but he never uploaded it to me. I'm still waiting for him to upload it. I PMmed him a few times now, but I get no response and no files on my ftp either. His level collection definitely is something that possibly has all this too, so once I have googs, I'm not sure if I also should be seeding this one, but I suppose it doesn't really matter. I could always update googs collection with this if something is missing, but lets decide about that when I actually get googoogjoob's level collection.

Just ensure you reach the 2.0 u/d ratio and you can stop after that. :)

I haven't talked to him in a long while either, so I wouldn't necessarily expect him to still be (particularly) active/interested in anything around here/to do it. 9_9

This is a great idea. A very good start for someone who haven't played ks yet. Very good for many people, I didn't have some of those levels.
We should do this but with more levels, as many levels we can find dude. I can help. I got about 80 pages, not so many old levels unfortunately.

And I don't know but maybe you would be allowed to attach the torrent file to your first post, it's very small.

10 HOURS to download? It really needs more seed. But thanks Mr. YellowDuck, there's a lot of levels I didn't have! :^^:
Title: Re: Epic Old Knytt Stories Levels Dump (169 levels!)
Post by: LPChip on October 19, 2011, 14:27:47
I thought, by setting a seed til 999 it would seed until a ratio of 999:1. Apparently it found 9.99 a good limit and decided it was enough :P

I force-started the upload now, so it will continue to do so. Thats why the downloading was slower...

Keep seeding till the 2:1 ration though!

Title: Re: Epic Old Knytt Stories Levels Dump (169 levels!)
Post by: LPChip on August 12, 2012, 22:52:44
This torrent is as old as this topic and the torrent hasn't been updated since. So its possible a level got updated after that. Then again, its likely that it didn't got updated.

Also: Remember to seed people. We're kind enough to give this to you, so be kind enough to return the favor.

Won't changing a file break the torrent and make it impossible to download said file?
Title: Re: Epic Old Knytt Stories Levels Dump (169 levels!)
Post by: LPChip on August 12, 2012, 23:54:33
If you would change the ones you download here, yes...

I didn't do that. I keep my downloadable torrents at a different place, and copy them out to my knytt stories folder if I want to play em. So the download I have is identical to whats in the torrent. You cannot alter files and expect to seed. The tracker will just see your local file as damaged and will try to get a new one.
Title: Re: Epic Old Knytt Stories Levels Dump (169 levels!)
Post by: Morendo on August 12, 2012, 23:59:03
I only asked the question because I was curious. I chose to download these levels in a special folder and then copied them to my "main" knytt stories world folder. I chose to not let them overwrite existing levels just in case, because I'm sure the ones I have are the latest versions ...

and at any rate ...i'm going to keep seeding. no worries...

Yup, and I'm that seeder. If more people are downloading this, then the speed will go up. I will continue to seed though, so eventually you'll reach 100%.

So, I am currently in the process of playing all of these levels, and writing little short reviews for each one.  C)p

However, I am posting here because I am having troubles with 'Change the view!' by Ble.  Namely, I cannot for the life of me get to the yellow key, no matter how hard I try to jump, and no matter what tricks I try to pull with the umbrella.

If any of you have legitimately beaten this level, I'd like to know how to clear that jump.
Title: Re: Epic Old Knytt Stories Levels Dump (169 levels!)
Post by: Widget on January 29, 2013, 15:33:20
If I remember rightly, it's possible to get trapped in the wrong place without all the powerups you need to continue in Change the view! I can't give you any good advice, though, as it was a couple of years ago I last played it  :/

Aye, the thing is, though, that I had already obtained all the powerups in the level.  I checked the editor to make sure there wasn't a hidden eye powerup that could make it easier.  Thing is, there's another jump exactly like this one in Ble's other level, Timecraft, and I am expected to be able to do it with all the range-increasing powerups. (run, high jump, doublejump, umbrella, climb).

There has to be a trick to it, I just have no idea what it might be.

Post by: Widget on January 30, 2013, 19:41:19

I think the trick, such as it is, is that the jump is just barely within what's possible to accomplish; double-jump only at the peak of the first jump, open the umbrella only at the peak of the second and then continue to hold S the entire time the umbrella is open. I'm sorry I can't offer you anything more helpful than that.

Due to me migrating my server to a different OS, I'm currently not seeding this torrent. I will be able to resume seeding after the migration. Since its a new kind of OS for me, that might take me a bit before setting up torrent and such... But there should be enough seeders right?

I'm sorry I can't offer you anything more helpful than that.

I knew that holding S would allow you to ride currents faster, but I wasn't aware it would help you glide faster in general.  To think, I've been playing for so long and I didn't know that!

I got past the jump.  Thanks for the pro tip.  Star for you!

I use uTorrent. I think its the best client, although their newest version is different from their previous versions, and I don't need the extra functionality, so I use an older version, but still the newest version is a good version.

I'm not seeding right now because I'm migrating my server, but once the migration is done, I'll reseed again.

I'd recommend using v3.2 (https://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=115806) then disabling updates. That's the latest version that doesn't have an ad bar permanently displayed in the program :moody:

Ok, after a lot of looking, I found a legitimate v3.2 and am currently running utorrent.  I'll try to run it every night from now on... or at least for a while.

Edit: yeah, got the scheduler figured out and have utorrent set to turn on at start up, so it is now running on weekdays while I'm at work, and at night.  I'll just leave it running simi-permenently until I have a reason not to.

Judging from the content, the word "epic" is most likely referring to the size of the compilation itself.

Maybe there was an error while downloading levels?

If You have: Level Dump/Worlds/Andrew Noel - Space
You must copy: Andrew Noel - Space (Whole folder, not the files in it)
To: Knytt Stories/Worlds Folder
So You end up: Knytt Stories/Worlds/Andrew Noel - Space

But You propably know it...

I think there were around half a dozen levels I thought were both worth saving and unique (now, at least) to this collection. If it's advice on whether to bother that you're after, I wouldn't recommend it; there's nothing uniquely here that really blew me away and it was a massively disproportionate effort to sort the few noteworthy levels from the junk, failed experiments, first levels and incomplete folders.

[04\08\13]: Given that TheYeIIowDuck hasn't logged on for half a year, would anyone object if I created a new version of this thread? (something like an Epic Old Knytt Stories Levels Dump Redux) In addition to having the content lists readily apparent and accessible, I could add a brief introduction explaining the use of .torrent files (with a more detailed guide in a spoiler, should that prove necessary). I would, of course, make sure to credit TheYeIIowDuck with all the work on the .torrent (and include links to the OT (http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=5014.0)) and the respective authors with all the levels.

Ah... wow, thanks for doing that.  I had not gotten around to rechecking what was in it, and now I realize how few I actually played.  I was very disappointed by some of the levels and gave up.  Golden Pyramid was different, and Dark Sky over Wish Mountain was ok.  I do need to check into more.

Seriously Widget, I know you love organizing stuff, but I doubt the level of detail that list will contain is worth the effort. Even so, The colors aren't too legible in the WaDF theme which I view the forum with. I recommend using the color tags (http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=2357.msg26386#msg26386) which produce theme compatible colors.

I don't love organising things; it's pretty tedious and, as you say, not sufficiently useful to warrant the time spent on it. The reason I do it anyway is that my entire adult life has been spent trying to manage my mental illness sufficiently well that I can keep body and soul together and cope with my family's visits without breaking down on the spot. Frankly, I'm not very good at maintaining even that very limited level of functionality; bogging myself down in mindless busy-work is the simplest and most readily available way of not allowing myself to think.

As for the colours, I'll try to sort out an alternative theme that's not too ghastly to look at. This is currently just a copy of the formatting from the mods' levels list; it didn't occur to me that anyone would voluntarily be using the WaDF theme.

Thanks for sharing, Widget.

Also, it looks like I've only played the flawed version of Let me take you to the beach! I'll have to check out the other one.

I don't love organizing things...
I'm sorry if I upset you. I was being sarcastic there, but I did genuinely think you liked order. I felt that my question about the dump's contents prompted you to undertake this enormous task which makes you, "lose the will to live," but I was satisfied with your first response to my question, and I rather that a cute girl in Persian clothing keeps her will to live. In the future, I resolve not to jump to conclusions about people. :P2

We have our own unofficial club (http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=3061.0)! I'm not an official unofficial member though.

In the case of Bass's Let me take you to the beach! there isn't a flawed version, as such. Both copies are identical, the only difference being in the names of the folders. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.

It was a perfectly reasonable assumption given the information available to you; I'm sorry for unloading on you to such an extent. Your question was one of the contributing factors to my choosing this particular project but not the reason I'm sinking time into a near-pointless task in general (were it not this, it would be something else) and the comment on "losing the will to live" is just a common figure of speech here.

That comment of mine was an unjustified, passive-aggressive parting shot; my apologies. As has probably become all too apparent, you unwittingly touched a bit of a nerve there :oops: I'll have a look into the colour tags, though the reason for the rather limited pallete I picked from was to add definition without having an overly unsightly colour-scheme. I might have to either make separate copies for each theme or scrap all the colour-coding entirely, neither of which is truly satisfactory with the density of information involved.

The beauty of those colour tags is that each theme displays colour variations which are visible against its background automatically. I do find most of your lists quite helpful and I appreciate your efforts. :)

No, I follow what it is they do and why it's necessary; the problem with them is that the selection is too small to devise a workable theme that isn't eye-burningly hideous.

I'll have another go at it later on but I think the only solution will be to reformat in such a way that the colour-coding isn't necessary for readability; any colour-scheme that works in the WaDF theme is unbearably ghastly in the default , any that works in the default is unreadable in the WADF :/

Oh I see. The WaDF theme is a bit ghastly on its own imho. Combine that with how few in number alternative themes users are, and it may not be worth worrying about.

I could add new color tags that will always work in any theme in a certain order. Like c1 for main color, c2 for 2nd main color, c3 for subcolor and c4 for 2nd sub color.

In the Knytt theme that would look like this

If that's not too much trouble for you to implement it looks very promising. Please don't look into it with any special sense of urgency, though; even with the best will in the world it's going to be a while yet before I finish collating all the relevant data and links for this particular list.

Its not. :) I can probably find a spare moment at work where I can do this. Maybe even today. :) Its really not much work.

I'll post a news topic in the about forum when its done.

[04\08\13]: Given that TheYeIIowDuck hasn't logged on for half a year, would anyone object if I created a new version of this thread? (something like an Epic Old Knytt Stories Levels Dump Redux) In addition to having the content lists readily apparent and accessible, I could add a brief introduction explaining the use of .torrent files (with a more detailed guide in a spoiler, should that prove necessary). I would, of course, make sure to credit TheYeIIowDuck with all the work on the .torrent (and include links to the OT (http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=5014.0)) and the respective authors with all the levels.

I don't see why anyone would object at this point,go ahead.

I love it how this thread is still alive even after 2 years, and now someone is remixing it.

Who would've thought my level collection would attract so much attention. I think I'll redownload it myself now, because I think I unfortunately lost it. Some levels there date as far back as 2009-2010!

Ahhh Knytt Stories.... Play once, play for life. Amazing how I still periodically check on this game every year or so.

I hope it's not been an unpleasant surprise to come back to what I've done here :oops:
If it is an issue I'll decommission my thread or, short of that, I could add just about anything you'd like to the introduction, notes or guides.

Of course it isn't. I'm glad this pack is still alive after all this time!
