Prince of Persia

Hi!
Today i finished my first new levelset Lost in Errors.
Hint for level 6:
Do 3-6x 4-title jump and your shadow will help you.

UPDATE: - Solved End of level 8

Looks quit Easy and nice

Hi, I'll add the mod to popot.org and such tomorrow.
[Edit: Done.]

I started playing this mod, currently I'm stuck on level 7.
In the last room, something always kills the kid.
Either the chomper, or the guard; or the gate closes before I could go out.

On the levels I saw many "errors", like the torch+wall or loose+potion combination (level 1), or entering room 0 (level 4), entering a closed exit door (level 3), and even a glitched tile (level 3).

On level 5 I saw something new: The kid on the right is real, the other appears only for a short time after I enter the room, it disappears after that.

Level 7 is easy.

Torch + wall looks good

I'm not giving some live potions for free. Exept level 14, here you will need it

Right, I completed level 7 since that.
I figured out that I can get down there without losing HP in the mirror.

Now I'm stuck on level 8.
I could open the exit door, but it's in the starting room, so the game does not allow me to enter it.

I did not know it is a problem. I changed end of level 8. Please download update

I've only played levels 1-4 so far, but I didn't notice a "room 0", what exactly do you mean by this, when does that happen?
I did notice that room 23 is a bit weird in level 4 (the raise button is pointless and the prince dies when he moves right).

[Edit: Played through most of it and it's a fun mod. Its difficulty makes it accessible for everyone and it has some unexpected elements here and there. Nice job.]

That "the prince dies when he moves right" is what I mean by entering room 0.

Can PRINCE.EXE be hex edited in such a way that the game allows the prince to enter a level exit door in the starting room?

Also, what does CusPop's "Stop the second level door from acting weird" mean?
It's referring to "the second" level door, but what this means is probably unclear to most people.
I've been following the discussions on this forum, and I don't even remember what it means.

The "Disable entering a closed level door" hack makes this possible.
When I replaced the checking of "leveldoor_open" (global variable) with checking of the door's modifier, I also removed the "level.start_room != drawn_room" restriction -- to make space for the new code. (in up_pressed())

Note that such a level door still won't have stairs. That is decided elsewhere. (in draw_leveldoor())
I have these ideas to fix this:
a) Check the position within the room, not just the room number. (Is there enough space for this?)
b) Check the elapsed time since level start. (Is it stored anywhere?)
c) Do something with the modifier of the tile on its left. For some reason, the game checks modifier_left before drawing the stairs.
The condition is "if (level.start_room != drawn_room && modifier_left)" but it could be changed to "||".
(But then it's a rule that people have to remember.)
d) Use the "leveldoor_open" flag.
But it is set only when the exit is fully open.
Together with the other exit door hacks, it would not be a problem if the game set it when the exit started to open.
I'll try that and post my results in the prince.exe topic.

It refers to the case when you open an exit, and then another one.

I agree it's out of context, without the quote at the beginning of that post.
