Homebrew Chronoclon (WIP) (DS entry)

[jubei867]

Thank you

Custom maps from the last version are full compatible. And of course my intention is that there never will be any compatibility issues.

@Sir_Voe: Your maps aren't included yet. I will provide new campaigns for future download, which contain various user creation maps. Thus, as a campaign, highscores will be saved. So I'm waiting to see your levels uploaded to the database

i had a electro tetris song playing and it has a little same of a zelda song- and while listening to the youtube video about this game viewing- the funny was the jumping sounds that play in this game makes it like Mario and Luigi came to the all in one party too

@Sir_Voe: I just realized that your level "Fling Yourself" isn't completable anymore since the new version (I changed the height you reach on a catapult). I will just delete the map from the database, so you can reupload it. Sorry, I didn't think about that... all other levels still working fine.

No biggie. It was an easy fix and I took the opportunity to tweak the level and make it a little more interesting.
One thing I've noticed: while I can upload levels and scores from my DSi with no problem, when it comes to downloading/playing levels from the database I've "failed" all but one try out of about 20. It works fine from my original model DS, though.

oh wow, this looks great! And it's homebrew, you did an amazing job creator, I'll be sure to give this a shot

I just tried it on a DSiXL (Version 1.4.1E) and I noticed one problem: it lists one level too much (labelled "0"), which of course cannot be played. But that's all (and should be a quick fix). Downloading/playing maps from the database worked fine for me.

Could you give me more information about in what way it failed for you? Anyway thanks for reporting this problem

 

[Sir_Voe]

I'm able to retrieve the list of levels, and when I click on a level I get the usual "Please Wait" message which is then replaced by "Failed". It then goes back to the initial state, as though no level was selected. I was on 1.4.2 U, by the way.

 

[jubei867]

There should be a file called "wifi_temp.ccds" located in "Chronoclon/custom/", could you send me this file?

It would be good, if you redo the failing procedure before you send me the file, so you can tell which level you had selected.

 

[jubei867]

Sadly I wasn't able to locate the problem with the wifi-menu. Bad thing that I cannot reproduce this problem, since on my console & flashcard it works fine.

If anyone else has problems downloading & playing maps from the wifi-menu, I would be very pleased if you could tell me on which console (DS or DSi) and flashcard the problem occured.

Thanks to Sir_Voe for giving me information on that problem

level downloading worked fine with CycloDS evolution 2.2 and R4i Gold Wood 1.32
tested on Phat DS and 3DS.
(on Phat it's soooo dark I can't see a thing after I enjoyed 3DS brightness)

It's nice to submit scores, but ... Sir Voe is always better than me by few seconds

Edit:
in the first stage, there is two time Sir Voe.
I think it would be better to remove dupe names in the highscore page, just keep the better score for each user.

It will prevent full score table flooded with the same name. (but, ok, it's not like it will be flooded anytime soon, we are the only two players in the highscore page >.>)

After playing some Duyumania, it made me wanna break out Chronclon again, heh.

Im wondering, has anybody gotten past level 27? Been stuck alll day looong on this one.
I can get the pause circuit and 1 robot over but then...?! I need 2 robots =)
I've moved my time machine onto the platform once, but could not get it "drop"onto the button.
Is this the right idea or ....???

Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated.

THANKS =)

 

[Another World]

i got pretty far in this when testing it for voting. i'll have to bust it out again and see what i did to beat level 2.

-another world

 

[VatoLoco]

That'd be cool if you could help get it figured out...i found a video walkthrough of the ChronTron levels, but the level numbers dont synch up to Cronoclons level numbers =/

 

[Cyan]

I past all of them except the final one

You can see my scores here.
http://chronoclon.hostingsociety.com/highscore.php

Too bad I have almost ALL the wall of fame by myself.
Nobody else are sending their scores.
Please submit them if you can, so we can challenge
(But Sir_Voe was always better than me)


About the 27, I can take a look if I remember how I did it.

edit: yeah, I did that one few times...
Too bad there's no auto-record because ... I don't remember very well

 

[VatoLoco]

Thanks for the replies, guys=)
I'll have to hit up the local library for the wifi to submit scores. My belkin router hates the way DS homebrew does wifi.
Also, i think me (and the missus) can improve some of our scores before submitting them =P

 

[Cyan]

I don't remember well, but there were a need to use the moving plateform (make the gate fall from the plateform using the spikes, and/or use it to move quicker without stopping time).
I'll have to play the game a little to get used to the mechanics again.

 

[VatoLoco]

Yay! Ok, i (mrs.Loco actually) finally got past the level 27 conundrum- we had the right idea, it just took some delicate timing to get it all to work just right=)

 

[Cyan]

Congrats!
If you ever pass the level30, let me know the method, I tried different thing but always end stuck.

A little advertising: If you didn't play it yet, you should try Fireworld (another homebrew from the HB Bounty2011).

 

[VatoLoco]

Working on level 30 right now. I hope it's completable, i see there is no scores submitted for it.

Ya, i like Fireworlds, too, i think that i will give it a more extended play=)

 

[jubei867]

Here's a little hint:

Spoiler

with the first robot on the upper floor, act like you'd collect the travel-circuit (of cource actually you're not collecting the circuit - FOR NOW...)
