Lihinghntom's Twisty Levelset

[Emiliano]

I guess the mod will be finished soon, I can't believe myself how I made two levels of this long in just two days (yes, I just need to build level 14 and a last custom hack, then it would be finished).
But it will have a slight delay because of the need of learning how to use SDLPoP for releasing that version.
Current version is 0.928 (13/14)

[Emiliano]

I bring you the visible and downloadable captures (yes, the folder contains what you see)

I don't know if this is a small or a big problem, but screenshots can be a bit different to the definitive mod, (not too much), I will update them after I finished building level 14.
Info and header are definitive for this mod.

Emiliano, level 13 through 14 not finished yet. What do you want? Let me in to continue? Or you still continuing? By the way, I give you my custom graphics.

He's just continuing completing the levels. It takes time to get good ideas and implement them (and fixing the bugs).

I have finished building level 14, yes, I finished building the mod, I just need to playtest the entire mod without cheats and make SDLPoP version
After the playtest I will update the screenshots.
*All levels can be completed one by one, but I haven't got time to play them all continuosly.

No worries😂😃

[Emiliano]

Playtest is completed I just need to make SDLPoP version to release the mod
As I told above about my mistake, here I bring you my updated screenshots, as I told before they are not very different and some are the same, *added level 11 screenshot
I really sorry this big mistake and I will try to don't do it again.
If you see their number, you will find out that they are in reverse order, first is from level 11 and last from level 1, this happened when I uploaded them here.

Cool!

[Emiliano]

Good news for all of you, DOS version is now finished because the last custom hack was already applied and worked succesfully, I just need to make SDLPoP version with the custom hacks
LEVELS.DAT and PRINCE.EXE of this mod will not be modified anymore.

Lihinghntom's Twisty Levelset finally released, yes finally released, I give you general information of the mod
-------------------------

Old screenshots here New screenshots here *Please use/see newer versions
•Mod's name: Lihinghntom's palace
•Author's name: Emiliano Fierro Salazar (Lihinghntom), use nickname instead of official name
•Creation year: 2020
•Description: “You can have the skill, but you may not have the patience” (long and stressing levels) *See mod info
Details:
Hello to all players!
This is the most elaborate mod I have done, neither the hours nor the days were counted, but I was doing one level per day without frequency or continuity.
In the 14 playable levels you will go through the same room two or more times in some parts so I recommend killing the guards, all the 14 playable levels have 24 rooms so they are very long and the further you are from the start the more stress you will feel.
Although the levels are not very difficult, they are long, so to play this mod you need a lot of patience and a lot of time.
Someday I am going to do the second part of this mod with similar elements but different definition of the objective.
•Number of starting minutes: 65535 *Infinite time, time is counted in negative numbers -2:59 in DOSBox and minutes passed in SDLPoP
•Does it use custom graphics or audio?
None of both, original graphics and audio
•Number of changed levels: 15 (including demo), 14 (counting 12 and 13 as one), 12a and 12b have 24 rooms both to be considered as just one level
•Executable file name: PRINCE.EXE
•Cheat code: megahit!
•Were levels playtested?
Yes, all of them
•Does it use WDA?
No
•Does it contain life potions?
Yes, one per levels 1-11

No.
EDIT: added header to general information here

You may wonder why there is just one zip file
Do you remember DOS and SDLPoP versions?
This version can be played in both DOSBox and SDLPoP, I modified the levels to use special events (not too much), I undid some custom hacks and kept those which generate small problems which don't affect playing.
---------------------
Differences while loading with DOSBox and SDLPoP
•Shadow skill and hit points
Dosbox is skill 10 and 8 hitpoints, SDLPoP is skill 3 and 4 hitpoints
•Show level 13 in level 12b
Dosbox is enabled, SDLPoP is disabled
•Skeleton guard behavior (turn around when listen prince's steps)
Dosbox is enabled, SDLPoP is disabled
•Shadow's hit point visibility
Dosbox is invisible, SDLPoP is visible
•Running entry level 13
Dosbox is disabled, SDLPoP is enabled
•Ending level music in level 13
Dosbox is enabled, SDLPoP is disabled
•If the shadow stirkes the prince both lose a life
Dosbox is enabled, SDLPoP is disabled
•Chompers start direction
Dosbox is right to left, SDLPoP is left to right
•Time count
Dosbox is always UNLIMITED TIME!, SDLPoP tells the minutes passed
--------------------
As you can see, they don't really affect playing, so enjoy this mod
*I intentionally released it today (September 16, in my time zone) to celebrate 210th Mexican Independence Anniversary.

Nice! Great that you finished! It really took a lot of months!

I'll definitely try to finish it, but maybe not in one go, the levels seem complex and will need seperate videos for each level.

I also took a lot playtesting, I took three days playing “fairly” without cheats, instead I used save/load, because I had no moment in the day to do it in one play.

Nice level.

No, I think there's a shortcut in Level 2 which I'll try to use.

Here's Level 1:

Level 2:





I took the shortcut. I don't know if that was allowed or you forgot to fix it.
