Tower of Bias Zero(Update Patch 2 {Tobi555})

[Tobi555]

Denizen's of the Molten, I fixed that level three times. What causes the crash in the Pyramid Showdown level, I will see if I can fix it without changing the original level. I never played the last level of tier 1 however. The "bug proof" version of this episode was accidentally deleted because I uploaded the long version thinking the old was new and the new was the old. I also guess I forgot since It was all fixed before, but every time it is fixed, it never saves due to the issues I mentioned. Can you mention a bit more?

PING

Hmmmmmm I can't think of much else so far I've only just gotten through Tier 1 when I encountered these 3. So from what I can gather this is all the game breaking stuff so far aside from misc. misspellings on the hub. You've already fixed Denizen of the Molten? (Whoops still kinda new to the ping thing sorry man) :/ But yea the last level of tier 1 is fine its just the final screen that the star's on has the star placed above your warp making it almost impossible to get. Other than that if the door level exit for the pyramid level is removed and you make the star a level ender star it might work never knew the cause of the crash. Denizen's of the Molten had that weird pipe glitch where you were trapped cuz the pipe had no exit and the goal was just an orb instead of a star like it should be for the tower of biased. Hopefully I didn't confuse you XD If you want me to explain more in depth on something you don't understand just ask XD Do you recall any broken levels in the rest of the game? It won't save when you fix the issues? :0

The quote alone Pings some one, I was just telling you to use

Code: Select all

[quote="MECHDRAGON777"]PING[/quote]

for when you are not normally quoting. Can you show screenshots of where?

Let me know if I can help in any other way Once this gets patched ill move on and check the other levels for game breaking bugs because I wanna have the maximum number of stars before progressing to make sure I don't miss anything XD Also aside from what I said in my last post the npc that tells you where Tier 1 is spells it wrong extremely minor and nit picky but thought id point it out.

Thanks man can't wait for the update this weekend looking forward to being able to play this episode without shenanigans. Will it be tested before its released to make sure the bugs didn't stay intact?

I tested "Denezen's of the Molten" and "Fog Factory" the most out of all levels in Tier 1, so their is that. I will test the others though. I typically did not enjoy them, but what do you expect out of tier 1... As for spelling, you have to screen shot each and every instance you find, highlight the word (just color the word to a reddish color, and write the correct spelling underneath the text box.

Yea Fog Factory is fine but as i said and showed before there's no proper star clear for Denizen of the Molten and the pipe I'm under in the other screenshot doesn't let me go back up when it should. The 1 spelling mistake doesn't bother me that much. It's just the soldier near the elevator to Tier 1 saying "Teir" instead of "Tier" I'm almost done with Tier 2 and it seems to be fine so far. EDIT: DRAGONMASTER'S secret exit for Transparent Mines is supposedly broken. You said in a Youtube comment that you messed the level up. Something to do with the secret exit where the "Key is the keyhole" and the "keyhole is the key." This is the only broken 2nd Tier level. I don't know how you fixed this one in the past but its broken here.

Alright got to the final 2 levels so heres a Super update on everything that needs fixing:
-The Denizen pipe exit and goal orb change to a star
-The star change to a level ending star on the pyramid level
-Moving the Revival of the Mushroom Legend star to the ground somewhere
-Making a "Music" folder in the directory where all the other levels folders are in the episode and placing Imperial March.mp3 and Track 16.mp3 through Track 20.mp3 in said folder
-Fixing the Secret Exit to Transparent Mines (i don't know how it's messed up but you might know)
-The Hub still has a couple issues mainly that once you beat Tier 3 (which is perfectly ok) The boss room to Tier 4 opens up for some reason
-Also in the Hub once you beat Tier 4's 4th and 3rd place the door to 2nd and 1st doesn't open until you beat the Tier 4 boss which shouldn't happen
-Finally when I do enter Tier 4's door it glitches me in a wall next to the levels instead XD
This should be about everything obviously the screenshots for the first bugs are posted but I've got some screenshots for Transparent Mine and Hub issues I'll post This is probably every issue this episode has honestly unless the last 2 levels are bugged and the ending is broken but I can't progress due to being stuck in the wall so this time I'll really have to wait until everything here's patched XD

Spoiler: show

Transparent mines: the key is background object and the keyhole is the npc. Wjere the key background is, originally was the keyhole npc and the background key was where the star was.

Tier 4's boss room only opened up because of your star count. The star count requirements will be lower in the next patch so tier 1 will not have to be suffered through that much.

A tier only opens when you beat the previous tier's boss and tht is intentional.

That last bug, that never happened at all in any beta testing area.

Spoiler: show

Tier 1's boss just opens a path under the tower.
Tier 2 just openes the door to activate the elevator, the doors to ge to the final boss and tier 4's boss are here.
Tier 3 increases the hight of the tower. It also freezes the entire tower.
Tier 4 gives a switch that can unfreeze and feeeze the tower at any point since warps are doffernet when it is frozen or not.
Tier 5 is just a boss, and Tier 6 is the Final bosses.

So, the only way you could get stuck in the wall is by entering a door to get into tier 4 amd up before beating tier 3's boss. You have to explain every thin you did to get that to happen.

As for the music, I will look into it. The only reason I hve to wait til the week end is because of school work, but I am glad you enjoy every one's old levels. Only thing I did was make the hub and change the exits to SMB3 stars.

EDIT: I still don't really understand the Transparent Mines secret exit XD is it obtainable? Do I need a P Switch or what? Sorry it's just really confusing XD Oh ok I got a better grasp of the doors opening I thought it was triggered by a certain section being beaten not star count my bad. Ok then I guess theres only the 3 levels in Tier 1 that need fixing then sorry MECH my bad XD I don't know how that happened but I unfroze the tower from the dark link battle and once I unfroze it I wen't into the Tier 4 door and it spat me out in the wall. Granted I can move around in the wall albeit very limited. Yea I enjoy this little contest and that's why I'm so adamant on helping to patch what's broken because regardless of quality I want everyone to be able to experience this without having to deal with broken levels. Especially if they wanted to start the Tower Of Biased series off with this one LIKE ME XD I'm super grateful you put this together as a TOB I can't wait to legitimately play through all of TOB0 again post patch when everythings fixed so I can legitimately play. XD May need to post patch notes when Update 2 comes out but I understand your school work situation. Yea I had to fix the Music thing myself cuz every section id get to in the pyramid level an error would pop up cuz those tracks couldn't be detected for the level since there was no Music folder to put them in XD HUGE EDIT: I FIGURED OUT WHY IT GLITCHES ME IN THE WALL. If you hit the box to turn off the frozen tower then go through the tier door it puts you in the wall but if you leave the frozen tower on then it takes you to the correct destination! You might wanna redirect that Tier 4 door to the correct door when the frozen tower is off. Anyways I've decided to start fixing it up myself because I learned a little bit So far I've fixed 2 of the broken levels which are Denizen of the Molten's broken pipe and as a result i found out that that goal orb is supposed to be there I guess because there's a whole other star in the level unless the orb is meant to be another star that is. The other level I fixed was Revival of the Mushroom Legends Star location so that it's obtainable. I also fixed some hub music that wouldn't play and fixed some incorrect spellings on the hub Aside from that only the wall glitch and the pyramid level exiting glitch remain (and maybe the Transparent Mines secret exit? Still not sure if that's broken or not XD) YET ANOTHER UPDATE: Everything is fixed now except the hub wall glitch and the secret exit for Transparent Mines. In regards to the Mines should I add a P switch or make a key to unlock the gate or just get rid of that star all together? There's literally no "key" in the entire level XD Also Denizen of the Molten has its second exit restored as a star so it has 2 stars now. Theres only 3 small problems that I'm gonna have to hand over to you with the fixes Ive done. These are: Now that Denizen of the Molten has 2 stars the other one doesn't count for some reason and I have no idea how to fix that, Second is your call on what to do with the secret exit of Transparent Mines and finally how you plan on fixing the Tier 4 door glitching you through a wall when there's no ice in the castle glitch. Get back to me when you want what I've got.

--Snip--

A) Okay, do you see the key graphic in transparent mines? Delete that and go to npcs, exit, and pick up the key (looks like the keyhole). Put that in the same spot.
B) Denizen of the Molten's star is over the lava. I will fix that sonce you can only have 1 star per section.
C) the hub, no beta tester encountered that, so I will see if I can replicate that.

Send me a Private message with the episode with the fixe files. I will download it and fix the issues you still have. I will also updte the credits.

That explains why no beta tester encountered the issue. I will be home in half an hour, so I can download it then, but I will fix it a soon as possible no later then Sunday. You are very helpful.

Alright finished testing and fixed the trasparent mines secret exit all that's left is molten's second star. I try to be XD Just one more question...how do I post the download in PM? XD

[MECHDRAGON777]

The forum really hates https://www.sendspace.com but use that or https://www.mediafire.com


Mediafire may ask ir an account creation, and sendspace expires after 30 days of no download, but tht is okay if it is a orivate messge and meant to be only downloaded by one person.

Think it exceeds the amount of space needed for sendspace so I'll just make a mediafire I guess.

Hey, since we're on the topic of bugs and fixes, was the final boss warp glitch ever fixed? Just curious.

If you can explain the bug, I will try to fix it when I fix the rest over the week-end.

Oh yea Mech make sure to delete my save file after testing in the Update before you post the patch XD EDIT: Ok I tried entering Tier 4's door again without cheats with Mario and I still fall through the ground. I did some experimenting and I think it depends on which switch you hit to get rid of the ice. I'm not entirely sure It's such a weird glitch. To replicate it walk inside the castle then immediately press the blue switch to your left then go up and enter the Tier 4 door. That's the easiest way to make that happen but I think it also happens randomly not sure. ANOTHER EDIT: Its probably not a bug but why when I beat Name Users level do I go in the door and nothing happens? The door in the level shows 4/8

Is this normal? I go through the door with 4/8 and it takes me to out of that star door. Also pretty sure that If you got rid of that block when you enter the castle to the left it will fix the wall glitch issue.

[MECHDRAGON777]

--Snip

The warp takes you to the wrong warp. See the star before Nameuser/Ignoritus's level? Should take you out of that door.4/8 means their are 8 hub stars. A star for the 5 tier bosses, and a sixth for Nameuser's level a 7th for the penultimate boss, and 8th for the final boss. How did you get to the final level without beating the tier 5 boss.

I just found out I somehow skipped Tier 1's boss XD Is the warp gonna be fixed along with the wall glitch in the hub and Molten's secret star? Did you try testing my theory on the Ice switch IN the castle being the issue?
