VVVVVV / Custom sprites for VVVVVV

« on: September 03, 2011, 04:25:52 PM »

Hi, I wasn't quite sure to post this, but its me editing VVVVVV so i thought it would go in the levels section.

ANYHOW, THIS ISN'T A VVVVVV LEVEL. BUT, IT IS AMAZINGLY AWESOME. AND IT INVOLVES CUSTOMIZING VVVVVV. SO...

No, I have NOT screwed up VVVVVV. I have driven all of the crew members mad.
Actually, I have edited a certain file. A little work goes a long way.

WHY AM I PRATTLING ON? WELL, HERE ARE THE VARIOUS SPRITE PACKS:
CRAZY CREW: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36647697/sprites.png

To install this:
1. Go to where ever you installed VVVVVV. Default is C:\Program Files\VVVVVV.
2. Go to \data\graphics
3. Take the picture at the link above. RENAME, NOT REPLACE the original sprites.png to something linke normalsprites.png and THEN move the picture over to this directory.
4. Thats it. Boot the game! The crew has gone mad.

Interested in making your own? Here are some instructions.
1. Ok, first of all, make sure you have something like paint.net or Corel Paint shop Pro. I used paint.net, which is free, but everyone has their preferences.
2. Open up sprites.png Which is in the VVVVVV directory at /data/graphics.
3. ZOOM IN ALL THE WAY.
4. Edit at will!

Note: Don't just use windows paint. It doesn't work with the transparency of VVVVVV and will totally screw up the game.

5. When you're done, save AS somethingsprites.png
6. Rename the original to normalsprites.png and the new one to sprites.png
7. LOAD THE GAVVVVVVE!!!!!!

I want this post to be a hub for all the various sprites the community creates, so if you make your own post to this thread and i will update this post.

Signing off,

Post Script: Yes, I did this myself.

VVVVVV Levels / Everlasting: The open source SINGLE VVVVVV level

« on: August 25, 2011, 02:13:31 PM »

WOAH MAN, INFINITY HAS A TWIN!

Thats wrong NOW RIGHT, peoples of the universe, INFINITY DOES HAVE A TWIN! 

AS you probably know, Infinity is pure awesome the open source HUB VVVVVV level. Are you up to creating a whole level? No? Then THIS is the place for you!

Rooms contributed:
FlamingBanana: 4

Our scripter-in-chief is Franz24! 3 rounds of applause!  He will add a script to the level once it is complete, giving it a story so a bunch of random weird storylines don't pop up. You shouldn't (read: i will remove if you do) script unless its something like, say, you need x script to disable y gravity line. You can still do that, of course.   

THIS is ONE level, with rooms added on by different members! HURRAH!

Rules are the same as infinity (still no scripting  ). You can find infinity here: http://distractionware.com/forum/index.php?topic=546

Download Everlasting here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36647697/Everlasting.vvvvvv

Version history:
1.0-Initial release
1.1-Franz24 fixes the red room
     -Franz24 makes the second room more awesome

VVVVVV Levels / Infinity: The open source HUB VVVVVV level

« on: August 20, 2011, 05:18:12 PM »

Wait, WHAT?

Thats right, folks, It's a VVVVVV level that anyone can edit.
YOU add in a short level to it and post a link.
I approve that link and put it up here.
EVERYONE gets to play your level, PLUS the levels before it! (until we run out of space. In which case there will be an infinity 2)

All in all its a win-win for everyone! 
Feeling nostalgic? Heres 1.1, still up but quite outdated: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36647697/InfinityB1.vvvvvv
Version 2, currently the most current stable version: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36647697/infinityv2.vvvvvv

DISCLAIMER:
My awesomeness radiation caused two, slighty different levels to come from the bottom of the earth and be totally awesome. THIS ONE is the one where YOU MAKE A SHORT LEVEL, NOT YOU CONTRIBUTE TO A LONGER LEVEL. If you are looking for this levels twin the level where YOU CONTRIBUTE ONE OR TWO ROOMS, go to the level Everlasting, which is here : http://distractionware.com/forum/index.php?topic=558 . Thank you as have a nice day.

Level contributions:
FlamingBanana: 2
PJBottomz: 1

Version history:
1.0- Initial release containing 2 short levels
1.1- Fixed "Think it through"
     - Removed a platform and a checkpoint in "Defiant" that made it much more difficult (as in now its easier)
     - Removed the broken scripting 
2.0- Every room has been edited at least once! (for the better)
     - More trinkets!
     - Whats this? A level by the scripter-in-chief himself, PJBottomz!!
     - Less bugs!
     - I dont know how PJ did it, but COLORED TEXT.

Our scripter-in-chief is PJBottomz! 3 rounds of applause!    He will add a script to the level once it is complete, giving it a story so a bunch of random weird storylines pop up. You shouldn't (read: i will remove if you do) script unless its something like, say, you need x script to disable y gravity line. You can still do that, of course.   

Rules for submitting:
1. Keep your level short.
2. If you include trinkets, dont include more than two. Sadly theres a 20 trinket limit, so please dont overdo it.
3. Please, no scripting UNLESS it is required to play the level. (for example, a script disabling gravity lines to get to a crewmate). Let the PJBottomz handle the rest!
4. Make your level fun!
