General Loap progress discussion topic

Nice, you now have the nuke

And sound effects, too!

Nice project, and impressive progress!

[namida]

All nine skills are functional now (though bugs still exist with most of them).

Here's a couple of videos showing actual solutions to a couple of levels from my pack - be warned that these show the actual solutions, so don't watch them if you want to avoid spoilers.

Tricky 40 "Data Corruption" https://youtu.be/SiOSSfy6YAs
Taxing 53 "Complimentary Lemmings" https://youtu.be/yjJ6Hm2I8YE

Ice and interactive objects, and RR adjustment, remain unsupported at this stage, though the intent is to support all three.

Lovely progress!

Single-minded development over days and weeks, where you pour all free time into one complex project, is pure bliss. Enjoy it! It can take years to find such a project for oneself. And with DireKrow, you have a profound playtester and thorough bug hunter.

I'll skip these spoiler videos from real levels. I haven't looked into your 3D pack yet. And it's getting to look like Loap will soon be the better engine to play your pack.

This video is a spoiler to an official level, specifically Fun 12. The level mostly revolves around bomber timing; the one non-bomber skill is extremely obvious where to place, so even if you haven't played the level this isn't really a huge loss.

Another preview video. This one doesn't show off a successful solution to any level; it shows the first thing people generally try on Mayhem 77 "Critical Path" (official), which doesn't actually work.

I can't get this to work. I've updated .NET but the program just hangs for a few seconds and then fails to open. Not sure what's going wrong or how to troubleshoot it.

EDIT: Never mind, it was because I didn't have the music. It's working now

[namida]

Postview screen coming along nicely.

(Video spoils one possible solution for a very easy X-of-everything level from my pack.)

[namida]

Three of the traps - the bear trap, the squasher, and the trap from Taxing 55 / Taxing 58 / Mayhem 70 - are now implemented.

https://youtu.be/CgxF41CXwP0

The other two traps shouldn't be far behind.

[namida]

You've probably seen in the release builds by now that the rest of the traps, and the teleporter and rope slide, are working now.

I just added springs to that list too. That leaves trampolines as the only physics feature not yet implemented.

[namida]

Trampolines are now supported too. Not quite perfect to L3D, but then, few things in Loap are.

https://youtu.be/Tv7oIEUFqJc (Spoils the solution to an official Mayhem level; Mayhem 69 "Over The Top".)

At this point, at least in theory (more might arise due to minor differences / bugs with actual testing), there are only two publicly-released levels that Loap does not yet support, both of them from the official game - Fun 1 "Take A Dive" and Taxing 49 "Which Trampoline?", due to antisplat blocks not being implemented yet.

[namida]

Loap now has one of NeoLemmix's most well-known and useful features.

[namida]

Loap now has one of L3D's most iconic features.

I just downloaded the latest test release. It's absolutely awesome!!
