TEW Secret Level 2 - unreachable items in reactor roorm

hori · Post by **hori** » Fri May 01, 2009 9:45 am

In TEW´s secret level 2 (not Level 8 as I first wrote - sorry!) in the reactor room there are 4 compartments containing goodies.
There are 2 hidden switches, too.
One of them opens 2 of the compartments but the other one does nothing.

I checked in DLE and found this:
Cube 215, Side 1 = Trigger 12 -> opens access to cubes 221 and 222
But Cube 210, Side 1 is no trigger (although having the trigger-texture)
So access to cubes 219 and 220 is nowhere to get

Intended (to nag players

) or bug?

Not sure actually. DFW has some pretty diabolical puzzles in her secret levels but that doesn't sound like it was intentional.

That´s why I asked.
Nagging the player by showing him unreachable items doesn´t fit the fair style of TEW.

(btw.: it´s really nice - and fair! - of you to hide a fullmap in each level - thanks a lot for that!)

DLE shows that the two compartments are connected with no trigger at all and that one of the hidden triggers isn´t connected to any targets...

Is it possible that adding another \"make robots\"-trigger (there are many of those in the reactor-room) after already having reached the trigger-limit simply deleted one one of the already existing ones - in this case one of the hidden open-walls-triggers?

Maybe. I don't think I've ever run into the trigger limit to test that.

There are 20 triggers in the level by now.
-> trigger-limit not hit (tried adding a 21st trigger - no problem there.)

Weirdly enough:
After flying wildly through the level I suddenly seem to *have* the Ammo Rack equipped.
One can pick up the barred items by just flying around close to the wall (at least in D2X-XL that is).

But:
The item only exists *once* in the mine and is *still there*, hovering peacefully!

Strange...

I checked my level once and nothing seems out of order with the triggers. I do remember making sure all items were accessible before release.

Thanks for checking!

But please do not mind any more since I already moved on (currently in Level 10).

Being able to pick up the Ammo Rack and the Smart Mines *through the bars* was good enough for me

Btw.: as far as I know this was completely impossible in original-D1/2 - seems to come with D2X-XL and it´s different item-handling...

yeah...sucks about that. >_> I asked Diedel to fix this, but he didn't.
The set does get a good deal harder until it starts owning you, so don't give up. The feeling of accomplishment is great.

Might be on the way. If it's on sourceforge, it's at least there to be seen.

What are TEW and DFW?

Sirius · Post by **Sirius** » Sun May 10, 2009 1:22 pm

TEW = The Enemy Within
DFW = someone who posted in this thread. I'll let you figure out which.
