Tell me, are you driving with your left hand, or your penis? I finish this lev 3 out of 4 times under 33. And I can't possibly understand how you can say that this level sucks. If it does, how many levels in the world does not suck? 5? 20? Max 40..

And anyway, I make this cup. It's taking me a lot of time. I do it for the kuskis in the elma scene. I don't think it's very funny and enjoyable to see someone logging in at mopolauta just to tell me that this sucks. Thanks for your support.

ever heard of freedom of speech :P so what if he doesnt like it

Any over 1.30 levels in this cup btw?

Xhomaz · Post by **Xhomaz** » 26 Mar 2004, 14:51

I just think it's really unnecessary. If he think it sucks, he can keep it for himself. No need to criticize my work just to criticize.

Of the 7 levels I've made so far, no one are over 1 min. It varies from around 30 secs to 50 secs. I think thats ok length for cup levels. But I will probably make 1 or 2 levels over 1.30.

well, have to take Zworqy's side here, I have very low finish percentage too in this level too. (Not that, that means it sucks, I like the level.)

whats the special thing about this cup? is it like a long battle?
btw, your levels looks good.

Post by **SveinR** » 26 Mar 2004, 22:12

Nothing special (except it has fucking good Xhomaz levs though

) about it, it follows the general "cup" routine.

OK, I'll try to be more specific:
The "foundation" of the level is good, with two major styles (which take approximately the same amount of time finish) but it's just a little, little little too hard to do the "moves", and that ruins the whole level FOR ME (maybe not for others!!!)

This is what I think: Always put in a slow, easy style in the level. That makes ppl inspired to try the harder style(s). If all styles are over medium difficulty, people will fail to finish and won't be motivated to play the level. (Just my thoughts, OK!??)

Edit: BTW, the Crazy Hoyla levs by Xhomaz were great!!

Juski · Post by **Juski** » 27 Mar 2004, 01:35

ther only levs where there are no easy slow style is the levs where you have to do lng jumps because only then u need speed, and this lev doesnt seem like having any hard jumps.

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 27 Mar 2004, 07:51

well, the only thing bugging me is the ending, but I have some phobia for endings in all kinds of levels, so that's just my fault.

Xhomaz · Post by **Xhomaz** » 27 Mar 2004, 10:53

Zworqy: I understand what you mean. I'm not angry or something either. My levs can't please everyone. But again, thats why I've tried to make different types of levels for each event. Next event won't be like this event at all.

And yeah. Remember the Deadline: Monday 10.00 CET. So you should send your replays on sunday.

you're absolutely right!
I can't play 95% of the great designer's levels, coz they don't have an ez style.
I prefer playing an un-grassed and un-pictured level but easy, than playing a beautiful level with 500 masks and pictured and so on, but hard and not hoylable.
but it seems that i'm the only one who thinks so :/

8-ball · Post by **8-ball** » 27 Mar 2004, 13:28

wtf guys, this is not hoyla cup, this is for finding best and fastest styles even in the hard levs...

8-ball · Post by **8-ball** » 27 Mar 2004, 13:28

oOoOoPs... dabel post

btw I start playing too...

Well, mostly the greater designer's levels are just hoylable, and not the un-grassed, and un- pictured levels. A great designer is not about making only beautiful levels, but making them also hoylable, and LOS CUP 02 is hoylable.

Xhomaz · Post by **Xhomaz** » 27 Mar 2004, 17:24

I see theres quite different opinions of my levels. Thats nice. Thanks to everyone supporting the cup. Personally, I think my levels are very hÃ¶ylable. I'm satisfied if I have 25+ participants every round!! It's not too late to start playing yet. So come on!!

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 27 Mar 2004, 17:56

Have a problem, i can't figure out how to get under 33;00. Anyone wants to help me ?

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 27 Mar 2004, 18:12

that's true Xhomas, a cup is always nicer when more ppl play.
and such becomes a level more hoylable if more ppl play, look at internals.

MP · Post by MP » 27 Mar 2004, 21:26

yeh the levels are DAMN hÃ¶ylÃ¤(able), not for my style ...I'll wait for the longer and trickier levs

Xhomaz · Post by **Xhomaz** » 28 Mar 2004, 18:01

i liked round 2 lev more than the 3rd, but its ok... i will have to play a lot to get a good time, especially left way is hard to manage quickly

WkE · Post by **WkE** » 29 Mar 2004, 19:31

Xhomaz - i SO want to participate in this cup, but I can't hoyl those levels, they're too hard for me... i mean - i can finish those levels, but can't actually hoyl them...
so, can you please make for the next round an easy 20secs level? or at least a hoylable one?
thx very much.

Boomer · Post by **Boomer** » 29 Mar 2004, 21:03

The best level so far

3:rd finish - 47.34

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 29 Mar 2004, 21:04

wow, Xhomas, the cup is growing

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 30 Mar 2004, 00:08

Totally different style, here some unknown player could win over this damn team KC!1...
Here's my opinions on this team :
- IF this is one veteran driving for 4 or 5 players, i hate this team ...
- IF this is 4 or 5 guys very skilled brothers which are just new, and totally superior to the majority of the players, i love this team !
Hope it's the second one or....

I've already made the first 7 levels for the cup.. And I can't say that any of them are about 20 seconds or very easy. But I can try to make a level like that later in the cup.

WkE · Post by **WkE** » 30 Mar 2004, 10:55

so tell me when round 8 is on

Boomer · Post by **Boomer** » 30 Mar 2004, 21:03

GreAT Boomer_88, try to beat me in this one

I have under 40;50 for the moment !

devan · Post by **devan** » 31 Mar 2004, 04:36

Xhomaz nice levels so far. Could you make a lever similar to Epic Drop. Thats one of my all time favorite levels. It'd be fun to see something like it in a contest.

Boomer · Post by **Boomer** » 31 Mar 2004, 07:07

Where to download Epic Drop?

Actually, I started on an "epic drop" like level last week, and was planning to use it as one of the last events in the cup. Probably I'll finish it soon, and we'll see. Good chance that I will use it!

Epic drop can be downloaded at the LOS level site.

Event 3 deadline reminder:

Don't forget to send your replays.

I've also came up with an idea, and in some of the next events you're going to be surprised.

I've sent my under 40 time !
Hope you'll receive it Xhomas, my computer is in a bad phase for the last week... I can't use Internet explorer ( everytime i click on internet explorer, a window appears and ask me to connect me to internet but, i have a modem-cable, so, i am already connected ) so i use Netscape, which works a little bit better

Anyway, hope you received it ...

Round 4: First finish - 41.99

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 4 Apr 2004, 15:49

WO, i wonder what style you use!

Boomer · Post by **Boomer** » 4 Apr 2004, 16:33

Thats not all. I can make 36-37 with a good run

But it is not the fastest style, i think.

Just like that, when you format your PC, do you have to save all your things on diskets and CD or you loose all or, it's just cleaning your PC.

Behk · Post by **Behk** » 4 Apr 2004, 20:02

I burn all teh stuff, not very often I format my PC + some progs and that kinda stuff.

u can dl a windows updater. My uncle did, and his comp went free for virus ;DDD

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 4 Apr 2004, 20:16

Thanx Behk...
I hope i'll be able to send for event 4 cause the level is excellent, I have 2 times on 2 under 40 seconds. Cool technique.
BTW Behk, how can i format my computer ? ( i'd like to hide my head in my shirt but, i can't )

I'm so bad in this kinda stuff

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 4 Apr 2004, 21:40

fisrt back up all the stuff you DO need. Then I need to know if elma is on the same drive as you installed windows on. If not, then you can reinstall windows without needing to copy elma later back on, but if it is on same drive, BACK it UP on a CD, really!
Now that you have back upped al shit, put in windows install CD. windows ask where to install windows. Select your hard drive, or partition you want, and it will automatically be formatted. Then 3,456 hours later, you have installed windows and you can put elma back on again. But, you lost all installations of programs.
