You're right, I'm not really that sorry. ;) |

That's kind of what I have in mind--doing ad hoc filtering/sorting instead of trying to organize into directories. But the filters would be browsable like the directories are. This won't help much with the performance issue, though. |

I think it'd be cool if sorting automatically created (or pretended to create) sub-directories. Like, you'd press Ctrl-D and there'd be directories for 0-1, 1-2, 2-3, etc.
BTW, I withdraw my suggestion from a long long time ago about making the sort stable. I downloaded the source and did it myself a while back, and it wasn't nearly as useful as I thought it'd be.
P.S. thanks for the D button! |

It's no problem!
What is it about sorting that doesn't work well? I'm thinking about redesigning the level browser stuff (probably to base it on tags and filters rather than directories), so comments are welcome...
The DOS version works as it did in 1998 or so. It has bugs, and isn't compatible with the new version. There's pretty much no reason to play it, unless you want to chuckle at its primitive graphics and interface. ;) |
| |
Somehow I don't think you're really sorry... :) |
| |
Sorry to keep bothering you. Yes, I said it wrong. I meant to suggest that solved levels could be automatically put into the root directory upon game start or exit as a way to split up the levels. As far as other ways to split them. I like date, size and author.
Also does that old dos version still work?

That's a pretty wierd comic. Are we supposed to fill in the blanks?
Panel 2: Ack! Where did I go?
Panel 3: blank
Panel 4: Now I'm invisible

Hah, the comic is supposed to be like that. (I never said it was a very funny comic!) Sorry to imply there might be a problem by it being a "test"--the test was just to see if anything was posted at all. |

that bobby is hot. like a pin hot. purr. |

I see four panels. In the first one is a bobby saying "no." The other three panels are empty. I am using Firefox 1.5.0.1 on Windows XP. |

You can press ctrl-v to show the unsolved levels first, since it sorts by the length of the solution.
Yeah, everybody's levels get cooked. It's part of the fun of making and playing puzzles, I think! |
| |
Thanks for the info. I wanted to easily put solved levels into a seperate dir. I think sorting by finished levels would be good. Although it would probably be tricky to do after levels are loaded - but could you sort out finished levels each time the game starts?
Do your levels get cooked too?

Well, the escape website allows people to exchange comments on levels, and there is this feedback thread--that's pretty much it. I doubt there are enough players to support a hint board right now, but you're welcome to try. =) |
| |
Is there a hint board or forum for Escape? I started one on www.the-geek.net, but it doesn't have any traction. |

RC: That's what I'd expect. Well, soon I want to split them up. Does anybody have any suggestions for a good way to organize it? By year?
The player file isn't encrypted.. the solutions section consists of a series of level hashes followed by the solutions. You can get the hash for a level by looking at the filename of the level image on the website, or by running md5sum (or a similar utility) on the level file, or a few other ways. It would be a pain to decode the solutions though, which are compressed to save space (look at the source code if you're really interested...). Of course, the game shows you the levels that are solved by putting check marks next to them. What is it you're trying to do?
There's no way to download all solutions as a batch. Maybe I can add that in a future version, as a sort of "full synchronization." |
| |
I was thinking (although it's a bit more work) if you run out of HD space, you can store your pictures on flickr but still post your galleries on the spacebar site.
of course, I think the mercury/twine line is a great idea. |

OMG, I never used that no style option. It's 1996 again! |

I moved the sub directories of triage up to the root as well as half of the triage levels to another dir in the root. Initial load time was the about the same (of course) but once you are into each of the "halves" load time improved considerably.
Is there anyway to find the already solved levels or is that encrypted in the "player".esp file.
Also can solutions for all solved levels be downloaded as a batch?

Hooray, thank you! Actually, I did go to the "lyrics and chords" links - the only songs I have left to transcribe are various songs from your AAD1-9. Unfortunately, it looks like there are no "lyrics and chords" links for those.
Once Apple added a lyrics field to their ID3 tags, my obsessive mp3-organizing nature went into overdrive. But now I just realized that for the AADs, I gave the songs only the main album art, when I *could* be using the unique-to-each-song art instead. |
