VVVVVV Levels / Re: Nova: A Brutal Comprehensive Adventure

« on: November 18, 2021, 07:17:00 am »

Hello, I was wondering what extension/external/script you used to get the enemies sped up and slowed down. I really wanted to use them on my own level and it would be great if you could tell me.



By the way the Nova level is great 

internal scripting (not the same as normal regular scripting), specifically the createentity command with entry 56.

you're right - the app store version is the original flash version 1.2!

that makes this warning message (and the associated can't-get-past-title-screen behavior) even stranger (or worse), then - the problem is most likely with the thing that runs flash, not the game itself

hard to tell with apple - they really like deprecating things. the last 2.2 build of the game was in 2016, which is a long time ago

you might want to try 2.3 (compiling from source). if you cant or dont want to compile, tell me and ill dm you a macos build of the game

The music file caused issues with anything higher than 2.2

honestly, you're lucky that the music file even works on 2.2 in the first place

by filling the headers with 0x69, cos8o made it so that the game thinks there's a bunch of songs in the file at position 0x69696969 and are also 0x69696969 bytes long. or 1768515945 bytes long. which is literally 1768515 kilobytes, or 1769 megabytes, or 1.8 gigabytes.

attempting to allocate a bunch of 1.8-gig blocks of data will not end well, and will probably result in the game being closed on windows. (windows kills the process if it mallocs more than the amount of available memory, instead of returning NULL, but that's a rant for another time.) if you're lucky, your build of the game will do nothing. but only if you're lucky.

i've no idea how his music files work fine on 2.2 at all, and what's scarier is how many people have probably used his trash editor to make music files, and now there's just a bunch of music files floating around in the wild with a bunch of 0x69 garbage because dipshit mcgee here thinks he's the pinnacle of humor

VVVVVV Help / Re: Music Editor v1.3

« on: June 15, 2020, 12:42:03 am »

okay, so...

for some reason, this janky editor pads the headers with a bunch of garbage. in an impeccable demonstration of maturity, cos8o decided to use 0x69 (which just translates to the ascii character lowercase i). this means people can encounter problems when using files made from this editor, such as game crashes. earlier today ally got a game crash because she used a music file made with this editor on vvvvvv 2.3.

so don't use this, you should use ved's music editor instead

2.3 should probably have safety checks to deal with this editor's cursed music files much better, but seriously, what the actual fuck

yes, you can spawn a flipped terminal with internal scripting, but it won't have that "press enter to activate terminal" prompt when you touch it. also, you can't flip terminals using ved. you can only flip terminals in vvvvvv: community edition (and even then, ved doesn't support flipping terminals in community edition levels yet).

I ended up rescuing during a cutscene - this crashes the game.

how'd you manage to do that? it seems like there's no way to rescue vitellary while touching the script box at the same time

I'm trying to build the source code, but I've never used CMake before and I'm having some trouble. I keep getting the following error:
CMake Error: The source directory "C:/VVVVVV-CE/src" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.

Does anyone know what this means? How can I fix it?

VVVVVV-CE currently doesn't support being compiled on Windows, but it might work anyway. The specific cause of your issue is unrelated: the correct directory to pass to cmake is desktop_version, not src. You should be doing something like:

Code: [Select]

cd desktop_version
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

It's pretty funny that MMMMMM https://www.increpare.com/2012/04/mmmmmm/ by increpare is missing from this list!

I also enjoyed V https://gamejolt.com/games/v/27251 by Jay X Townsend as well.

(I know I'm 9 years late to this thread, sorry!)

well, the problem is, MMMMMM is also the name of the metal remix by familyjules7x and souleye: https://souleyedigitalmusic.bandcamp.com/album/mmmmmm

VVVVVV Levels / Traps R.J. [v0.10]

« on: January 30, 2020, 04:26:31 am »

(credits to Coralbits for drawing the cover art!)

v0.10 - Removed noflip troll at the beginning. Removed all references to the VVVVVV 10th anniversary level jam. Removed having to read a readme and type in a password to get the level file. Copied the Glorious Trainwrecks description over to this post. The Glorious Trainwrecks page will no longer be updated. For posterity, the original Glorious Trainwrecks page is here (archive) and the previous version of this post is archived here.
v0.9 - Nerfed Exam Passed.
v0.8 - Fixed misplaced out-of-bounds script boxes in Moment of Truth.
v0.7 - Initial release.

This is a troll level fashioned after Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2 troll levels, complete with misdirection, deception, and anti-softlocks. Also you can get sent back to checkpoint 0 at any moment.

I recommend playing completely blind, i.e. not knowing anything about the level at all, no spoilers, no hints. I also request anyone playing to record themselves, preferably with a mic, so their reactions to trolls will be immortalized (and also it would be entertaining for me). But you don't have to, if you don't want to or can't.

Now for some preview screenshots:







And here is what the minimap looks like:
