Re: [RTC] Parallel Universe
I know where they are coming from its just that there is a big pit stopping me from getting there. I have searched around for a switch but can't find one. I have a feeling

that its something to do with Delta in the pit because when I throw it into the haze it sometimes ends up on the other side of the pit

Re: [RTC] Parallel Universe
Okay got the skeleton key. Now what. The I have been back to the rat run to see if anything has happened there so where to now. Wish I hadn't started this now. I must try and think differently from DM and do what I am told, especially what is written on scrolls.

stairs lead no where

nothing has changed
Re: [RTC] Parallel Universe
Although I haven't got that far, I'm very much convinced that you have to continue through the rat level as in the original DM, not throught the central stairway. Isn't there a fake wall somewhere around? (as with the "When rock is not rock")?
I hope Paul makes a "Chaos Strikes Back in Parallel Universe" - this would be an ultimate doom for us all.![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: [RTC] Parallel Universe
Don't think there is any way through the rat level as I have been to both ends and it seems like they are both blocked with no false walls. I am about to check all the walls down the corridor now to see if there are any there. I hate false walls though as there are so many walls in a dungeon I just think its unfair on the player unless you get a clue as in the first DM "when is a rock not a rock".
Re: [RTC] Parallel Universe
It is not a false wall - maybe one of the spinners has caught you out. Have you got the corbamite?

Re: [RTC] Parallel Universe
Paul I recognised that there was a spinner there but I still cannot fathom, if anything what it is trying to do. I have been to the location further up where it looks like a fake wall but cannot find that. Haven't got corbamite. Where should I have got that from? Would that make a difference as to whether I could go on or not.

Re: [RTC] Parallel Universe
Have you continued, Master? Where are you now? I think you've got a huge head-start now. I found some time to go on today, ran through the Rat level (the extrathe master wrote:Now down at the deth knights. By the coin slots in the walls.

I'm afraid that the weapon I'm carrying now (Sword Striking) is not the best one - I can't wait for something else. A Diamond Edge would be very nice.

Re: [RTC] Parallel Universe
Jan
the levels on here are big, very big. I think what he has done is merge several floors into one big one. I have been playing the deth knights level for about 3 days now and although getting to grips with it I still can't find the Ra key I need to go back up and get the firestaff.

Re: [RTC] Parallel Universe
Alright, wait for me there with a few chilled beers! I'm on my way. I've just finished the Scorpion level with my heart in my throat, casting fireballs like crazy in all directions just in case. I expect Paul made some nasty changes in the level below where you have to choose one of the three doors. Don't tell me though! ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Re: [RTC] Parallel Universe
Alright. I'm on the knights' level too. Seem to be very knightful.
@Paul: Is there still the Diamond Edge on the Water Elemental Level? I wasn't able to locate the Poison Chamber. I found the Fury (I liked the way you connected the) but I prefer the Diamond Edge. I'm really enjoying this game! ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

I've got a problem on the Knight level now. I'm not able to

close the obvious pit
Also, is there something necessary in the "Cowards will be hunted down and killed" area? I closed it as I'm used to - in CSBWin the switch is two-way (closing and opening the wall) but here it seems to be one-way only. I don't seem to be able to re-open the wall. If there was something crucial, I'm doomed.

Re: [RTC] Parallel Universe
Jan sorry can't help you as thats one of the bits that I can't work out either. Its probably where the Ra Key is (hopefully).
Re: [RTC] Parallel Universe
Spoiler
I seem to have accidently blocked the Diamond Edge off! Will put that back in in v2. To close the pit, drop down it and find a button. The Cowards bit should work as normal, the button toggles the wall. Nothing important there though
Re: [RTC] Parallel Universe
Thanks, Paul, I don't think I'd have found it without your advice. I've run through the Firestaff level and reached the Dragon (or should I say ?
) level now. I'll leave it for tomorrow.
And the "Coward" switch really works differently in CSBWin. But maybe there's a difference between CSBWin and RTC - it really worked for me only once here and the wall cannot be removed now. But never mind - there's just a load of useless crap there and a "few" yucky spiders.
(and LOL to that memo in the Chaos' lair I've just read
)

Re: [RTC] Parallel Universe

Not sure why it is not reopening, the switch specifically says 'toggle' on it!

Re: [RTC] Parallel Universe
Paul how do you release the Deth Knight from behind the ornate door as I think he is holding a key I need to open one of the doors through the pit we were talking about earlier.
Re: [RTC] Parallel Universe
I've looked into the original DM for RTC and it has both "Toggle" and "Disable Self" ticked. I don't know RTC but perhaps the "Disable Self" just makes the switch to disappear (mechanically, only the wall decoration remains)? Dunno, you have to ask elsewhere.PaulH wrote:Not sure why it is not reopening, the switch specifically says 'toggle' on it!
@Master: are you behind the pit? If yes,

Re: [RTC] Parallel Universe
Unfortunately I haven't had time to play since Sunday because I'm bloody busy at work because we've got the exam period and also the bloody grant applications period. I hope I'll be able to continue this Saturday. On Sunday I've reached the room with many eye-on-wall decorations and a pit.
And, hey, what have you done to that poor old - have you fed him with steroids or what?

Jan how did you manage to even get into the room with the dragon. I just keep getting hit by those horrible Materializers.
