Thank You.

Funny, just a couple of months ago, I considered myself a newbie. Now I'm discovering new tricks!

Hmm...I wonder about these two tricks? Published or new?
They happen when an open gate is right next to a wall.
Trick 1 :Standing next to gate, getting a position, and then running to fall down a story.
Trick 2: Jumping through gate and wall.

Both are new and quite interesting because the player won't even see the gate that can be used to go through both the wall and the floor(+wall). Even in level editor apoplexy it's easy to miss the open gate, or to think it's merely there to prevent a tapestry above it from 'floating' (see attached image). I'll add them to popot.org tomorrow.

Yes, they are very interesting.

As we already knew, once the level exit door is open, certain other closed(!) exits are also accessible.
Not just all exits in rooms other than the starting room, also the entrance ('exit') in the starting room(!) under certain circumstances:
a) a 'real' level exit must be open,
b) the exit in the starting room must be placed on the far left of the room (row doesn't matter) and,
c) the prince must be able to move to the left of the starting room as shown in the video below.

Added as #132.


My post here has a spoiler tab that includes all mods where this may be possible.
With emphasis on may, because I haven't checked out any of these yet.
I've merely used a script and apoplexy to create that overview.

Not exactly a trick, but here it appears as if the Prince is punching a mirror!

Well, I found out that one of these tricks was already used. The one where you jump through the gate. It comes from the mod Ecco levels 10. Video by Yura.

A NEW TRICK!

Apparently there is a condition to this one. If I'm not mistaken, it only works if you kill all the other skeletons in the level. If you don't, the skeleton will still wake up but he will not step forward to make the brick go down onto the raise button.

[Norbert]

[Edit: Actually, this is simply the special event, where the skeleton comes alive if the player touches the 3rd or 4th tile from the left, in any row.
I like how that room combines this event with the gate trick though.]

Spoiler: show

I think that's a variation of trick 119 (see below), but I'm not sure...

David, what do you think?

Yes, however, the main point is the skeleton touches the tile which falls on the button. And this behavior only happens if all guards that the Prince meets in the level are killed in some way.
Below is a video showing that this is true. First I play without killing all guards and the skeleton does not step forward. Then, I play with all guards being killed and the skeleton steps forward, knocking down the tile.

Will this trick get published to the website, Norbert?
