egomassive's Knytt Stories Plus mod

Egads, what have I unleashed?

As Ego said, I have no programming ability.
And if he does generously decide to implement my idea, I intend to use it in Dragon Myth which is being made to use KS+. Incorporating both mods is, for me, too terrifying a concept for me to even speak of without my brainnnadssd wibble cluck.

Also, I just found a bizarre glitch.  It's hard to reproduce, but essentially, by maneuvering between two screens and the screen loading taking a certain amount of time, I'm able to collect things on the exact opposite side of the screen.

Drat. I'm aware of this problem, but I thought I had it beat. Key blocks gave me so much trouble because they destroy slowly. I'll see what I can do.

I recognize that being restricted to the same enemies as when KS was first released back in 2007 makes it very hard to create a level that feels fresh. KS+ has the ability to change the appearance of enemies, but not their behaviors. Although programmable/new enemies is a brilliant idea, it's beyond the scope of this project. One of Nifflas' concepts for Knytt Underground was to be able to combine movement, detection, and attack AI to create a large number of possible enemy behaviors. Since I didn't want to encroach on KU, I decided not to include programmable enemies in KS+.

Polana, I have often wanted those invisible shapes myself. However, I don't regard the ceiling to be a critical area for smooth collision. Also, you can make any invisible shape you want since they're actually visible, 1 degree of blue. You can include them into tilesets.

Oh, thank you. I didn't know that.

Incorporating both mods is, for me, too terrifying a concept for me to even speak of without my brainnnadssd wibble cluck.

That's impossible. You have to choose between them for each level. I do have an idea of making a level converter from KS+ to KS Ex though... E.g. converting a map with just golden creatures and coins is extremely simple (by hand), since I've already stolen both as template objects. Don't expect to actually see a converter, there's little chance I'll make it.

What I'm thinking of making is a layer for background objects that would be underneath the ground tiles. It could contain moving clouds, rising water or what not. Rising water done this way wouldn't kill though, unless explicitly programmed to. Same nuance as with foreground layer in KS+.

THE SITE IS DOWN ;~; every time i try to go to the website, it says "Error 404 not found" i tried hand typing the link and it does the same thing, HALP
(by site, i mean the site where you download the mod from)

Yeah, that happened. I can't get it fixed until Monday.

Well, it seems to be working now!

Yes! It's back up. I had to update my automatic payment method for my server service.

YAY i'll download the mod this coming weekend ^w^

What's the minimum OS this mod can run on? I currently only have a machine with Windows 2000 and there's no sound. I lost my XP product key 

What's the minimum OS this mod can run on?

I built it on XP. It's a standard x86 program as far as I know. I don't believe it uses hardware support, but I may be mistaken. I just let MMF2, the software it's written on, do it's thing.

Update: I'm currently installing MMF2 on my new computer. If I remember correctly, I had version 1.1.2 ready for launch but did not release it. So, I will check the status on that. I intend to work on sprite templates some, mostly as they are requested. Overall I've grown tired of this project and only intend to do a little maintenance if it's needed.

I don't really understand why it wouldn't work, considering Saira can even run on Win2k. But the good news is I found my XP key. So I can start working on levels again.
It's not really much of an issue since I don't know anyone who uses Windows 2000 anymore except myself.

I can't seem to get the "_ Delete" object to work.  I've tried putting it on top of or next to what I want it to delete, but I'm not having any luck.  I'm pretty sure I knew how to use this at one point....

Make sure you select the right layer first, then select any object 0 of any bank and click on the ones you want to delete.

LPchip, there's an object on the mod that can be used to delete objects via triggers, so you can have a static enemy, or a mechanical block like the 'no jump' blocks, vanish by use of triggers, so as not to need duplicate screens. I once used one to make one of the warp objects disappear so warps did or didn't function depending on which passage out of the same side of the screen you ventured through.

I've not used one in a while but I'll have a look at my programming in a moment and see if I can suggest any advice.
