I can get it removed for you. Shall I?

Well, not exactly removed. I renamed it to show that it's the version uploaded in 2008. Just so the "original" version is still available for whatever reasons people might have. Because that's what archives do. Archive things.

Usually I don't do things like this, but this bit is actually a good argument against the standard procedures.
That version was uploaded to the Knytt Stories level archive without my authorisation and even though I have made it clear in the past that I am not okay with that (among other reasons, precisely for the unavoidable versioning issues that result).

So, the original filename is available again, if you wish to upload the final version.

Thanks, but the new name does not communicate at all that this is not the best available version, and that a newer version is available that people should seek out.

If you absolutely want to keep that old version in your archive, at least rename it to something like "Above and below the waterfall (OUTDATED VERSION)" or something like that. Thank you.

While I do agree that "2008" makes no difference as long as it's the only version on the archive (because it already said it's from 16 years ago), it did free the slot, and you can now upload v2.1.0 as "RH - Above and below the waterfall"

Or, you could respect my wish, and remove the file from the level archive.

This conversation spun out. Can this be a new thread? This is supposed to be about pacifishi's level ratings.

I believe the version of Nifftown that you played is outdated. To my knowledge, the only version that was on the archive until recently is the one from GrayFace, which applied some fixes to the previous update from BioShock. However, BioShock based their update on a heavily outdated version of the level, which resulted in a lot of updates being reverted. The update just before that was from Shreeps and was a lot more substantial. I added it to the archive a few months ago: https://knyttlevels.com/levels/saml%20-%20Nifftown%20%28from%20Shreeps%29.knytt.bin

So if you want to play every KS level ever, you should play that. Don't skip the houses that already existed in GrayFace's version either, as some of them were updated by their owners.

Also, this isn't really important, considering this is only about the one track in Shreeps' house, but a higher quality version of it is available here: https://mega.nz/folder/1DtBUZZQ#hsWRGE7sMaIssUFCVjCPBA/folder/cel2xLyS
