who invented.......

bob · Post by **bob** » 16 Jul 2003, 07:29

I've always wondered who invented/started these things in elma/across:

- The Bounce
- Bug Bounce
- Sedge Grass in Externals
- Pipe Levs
- Auto Levs
- Invisible Polygons in Externals
- Tags
- First Team

...hmmm, probably a couple more that i forgotten. Does anyone else have anymore to add?

Well, similar things have been done before, but mostly related to styles on specific levels and such.

The Bounce: That's been around for a long time. The Lab Pro bounce is pretty old after all (I know that Jokke didn't bounce in the beginning), and I'm sure bounces were used before that too.

Bug Bounce: You mean "fly to the roof/across the level at 5000 mph" bounces? I don't think anyone's "invented" those, obviously.

Sedge Grass in Externals: I've never seen that. Can you tell me a level that has this?

Pipe Levs: The first pipe level was The Pipe by PeXi, the first of the kind of levels that we call pipe levels today was Impossibility by Abula. Both can be found in the Contests section on Moposite.

Auto Levs: I don't know who invented it, but I know that I hate him.

Invisible Polygons in Externals: See above.

Tags: You mean like writing your name in the level? I dunno, Blake maybe. Could be older than that too, I have no idea.

First Team: Damn, I'm not sure. EMT maybe.

Several levs have this, I can't believe you haven't seen that. Most likely you misunderstood or something... I bet you can find it on several LOMs for instance. Maybe you've used only HighQ.lgr for too long

first, I'm playing elma/across since 1998 aprox. when the actuon supercross was a new game u_u (yes yes, and ma TT is aprox. 1 hour 40 minutes, I'm a patan in internals)
Invisible Polygons in Externals: Mmmmmh the first level I played with it is mr. magoo 8 in balazs rozsa levelpack number...err ._. i don't remember the number of the pack sorry...
Auto Levs: the first I played is relax 1 from insane guy, but I don't know who invented it
and what is Sedge Grass in External?

ehh, so what does this sedge grass mean ...haven't seen eather

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 16 Jul 2003, 18:10

Alot of these things have not been invented by one guy. Ect. I think many made invisible polygons without having seen it on another lvl, I know I did.

hmm why do all hate AutoLevs?:P damnit i think some are c0ol, if they are really good made, but some are really horrible!

-but make real levs if u dont make supergood auto(i think it's easier to make autos in Across

Ah, yeah. I misunderstood. I thought people somehow made sedge grass with vertexes.

You're right, I've been witout pictures for too long.

What the hell is sedge grass ?

zworqy · Post by **zworqy** » 16 Jul 2003, 23:17

OK, let's make it clear once and for all:
"Sedge grass" is when you put sedge pictures near a polygon so that only the tips of it is visible, which makes it look like grass.

Like this:

(OMG, I can't believe some you guys don't know what sedge grass is)

2fast · Post by **2fast** » 17 Jul 2003, 07:04

I can`t see that pic

Ky.Jelly · Post by **Ky.Jelly** » 17 Jul 2003, 08:21

oh so sedge grass is pics you cant see, i get it now

Jonas · Post by **Jonas** » 17 Jul 2003, 09:13

IS it so damn har to understand?

_/\_/\_/\_

ThatÂ´s it....I guess....just think of the straight line as the polygon and the triangles as the upper thingie of the picture sedge

Undiente · Post by **Undiente** » 17 Jul 2003, 09:26

aaaaaaah ok n_n thanks zworqy
Its when you choose the sedge pic and you put only half image (the leaves) in the air, and the green zone into the ground, you only look the leaves and its similar to grass

MP · Post by MP » 17 Jul 2003, 10:48

hahah I somehow got mixed with sedge and edge..now it's clear, used it myself too

psy · Post by **psy** » 17 Jul 2003, 11:11

I know that both invisible polygons and auto levs were made by mongos already back in 1998. Hard to say who was first though, check those "nice" csaba levpacks.

I'm not sure was I the first one, but I made a test level trying out the pic possibilities in 11. february 2000, and that included the sedge grass (also that tree shaped polygon behind tree picture trick), but those things have been invented by so many guys by themselves.

Ramone · Post by **Ramone** » 17 Jul 2003, 19:04

sedge grass is ugly in my head

its like a trend... I use real grass, thats classic, and classic always last.

magicman · Post by **magicman** » 17 Jul 2003, 22:06

as i said be4, SOME auto levs are ok, but now psy said invisible polygon levs are horrible.
CAN just agree with that, omg i hate. spec n00bs made some mongo levs that u dont understand a f thing about, but i dont like it anyhow

baaah...

Go make some nice levs now dudes

Ky.Jelly · Post by **Ky.Jelly** » 18 Jul 2003, 05:22

easy make impsy invisible pipe level for jalli

Juish · Post by **Juish** » 19 Jul 2003, 03:41

i invented the "p0p"

best trick ever, actually only 1 lev that i made that uses it but still best trick ever

2fast · Post by **2fast** » 19 Jul 2003, 07:10

Can you give lev and rec

8-ball · Post by **8-ball** » 19 Jul 2003, 11:40

<8-ball>

1) I like sedge grass and I use it quite a lot in my levs, it is best on "jungle" style levs.
2) Invisible polygons are really horrible on stupid levs, where u can`t understand anything at all.
3) Juish, can u give the link of your "p0p" lev and replay of that trick?
4) I also use "tags" in my levs sometimes, if it is my name on the lev.
