Nominate & talk about N2.0 USER LEVELS

[Fujita Seiko]

I think almost impossible because you have to press jump to get into the boost and then press jump again almost immediately to do that curve jump, but im not sure at all..

Well maybe very hard but i tested it off course. I succeeded like after trying 30 times ;). (and than I always begone before the boost.)

Btonios finished it btw. Civeva sad Btonios is a cheater, using a program to slow n down. Do you think that is true and that's the way he did it?

[james_S]

-he made some fast jumps on that map eh. Its hard to say, he could've easily just sped up the video when making this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51Wlp206tp4

By the way, I think the middle drones look too simple in this map by yoke300: www.thewayoftheninja.org/nv2.html?l=44406 I think this should be avoided when making maps because the drones look 'stupid' / limited

[james_S]

Hey Fujita, I like this idea as an alternative to a mine dodger eh! http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/nv2.html?l=48834 -but its hard to wall jump from the bounceblocks when going fast for some reason :s (like the wall jump I did in my run) Cute map and not too frustrating

Hi. What's with all the arguing on the N v2 user maps? It's driving me crazy. Cineva's accusing people of cheating, and accusing this Zellex of being "eddymatagaiios." James_S, I understand fortyseven's spamming is probably annoying, but why call him stupid? Why make fun of him? Why turn it into such a huge debate? Maybe he doesn't know how to test maps. I had no idea how to at first. Just tell him how to fix it like a normal person would, instead of spamming maps (how hypocritical...) arguing with him.

Can we just play the game rather than arguing like a bunch of children?

[james_S]

To anyone who reads your comment, it appears that I was calling Fortysevens stupid, but there is a quite a difference between calling someone stupid and what I actually said. I said 'are you too stupid to learn how to test maps?' -taking into consideration that he's been around Nv2 for ages and would've seen the many message maps about how to test. And he has seen them, as you can tell from his ridiculous excuse about why he cant be bothered which I called stOOpid. Plus I guess he might have published about a hundred obviously impossible maps.

ps. If anyone can spot cheaters, which some competitors find interesting, that is Cineva, who is cris56700's (real cheater) sister. So give her a bit of a break if she makes a wrong assumption.

She not only accused people of cheating (who I really doubt are cheaters... except Cris), but accused Zellex of plagiarizing EddyMataGallos's name with eddymatagaiios. How can she prove that? Just cause she gets a 0th and it gets taken doesn't mean that that person is automatically a cheater.

Like I said, it sucks that this community is filled with what seem like bunch of children. Just play the game. Jesus. It shouldn't be that hard.

[james_S]

I agree and btw when I said I think we should give her 'a bit of a break', I did mean just a bit, because that cheaters stuff and the Zellex thing got really boring and really sucked.

PS. I thought author title 2 's remakes were pretty well done, especially this one http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/nv2.html?l=47707 ' animals ' I'd say you have the mapping skills to have pulled that off. But you're not Author title 2.... lol

I liked the difficulty level on Blackfires's (thrasher26) map http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/nv2.html?l=49027 'small cave by thunder ' I thought just perfect (otherwise n is a hard enough game as it is) and interesting action on that map


'' just play the game. Jesus'' - :( i'd rather ppl talked about maps more and this thread be no so dead

Oleary, the reason Cineva suspects EddyMataGaiios is Zellex, is probably this:

Zellex map: http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/nv2.html?l=48728 - Title: For Cineva
EddyMataGaiios map: http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/nv2.html?l=48735 - Title: For Cineva part 2

Submitted within a minute apart.

Now, that EddyMataGaiios cheats is obvious, because of the frame perfect chimneys among other things. Thats where she probably assumed Zellex also cheats on his account.

That's just some justification for her opinion, not my opinion, though I do find the map argument to be pretty solid honestly.

(off topic, but how weird it feels to use the feminine pronouns in the Metanet Community hahaha).

[james_S]

We can speculate who cheaters are (apart from obvious giveaways) and speculate who Ascheriit is but I don't think we should.


Btw Cineva said he was a girl once as joke I'm sure and I felt like continuing the joke but he's not one sorry lol. He is the reformed cris56700 (lol -well he doesn't use hack on this account), Cineva was his little brother's account but now he doesn't play/map much.

Mare plays N...

Well that is a pretty subjective and unjustified assertion, what I exposed up there was just some solid examples, I don't see whats wrong with that as long as you are not disrespectful. If you are trying to find something out it would be nonsense to ignore such kind of things, not that I care but I do understand Cineva's opinion, its justified, and justification for me is sacred (maths student here).

I don't think they look stupid, but they are ineffective.

[james_S]

I meant stupid literally i.e its not clever processing to decide to be going around in circles wasting energy for a tiny chance of catching out the ninja. But yep.

GregorzPL's map got rated high, I like the mapper but I dont understand what he's drawn ? www.thewayoftheninja.org/nv2.html?l=49542

[james_S]

damn, I had this map favourited for ages http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/nv2.html?l=23965 -made by cris' brother, but I didnt think (i wasnt bothered :( ) of how to utilize that idea. And now mapper- Madness just left it as a simple sphere and a sphere like that could work well http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/nv2.html?l=49872 -its a ded to Fujita

?????? It's a skater (seated) with door switch in his hand...

[james_S]

ohhhhhhh that makes sense -pretty cool. I thought it was a tramp asking for money or I thought he was holding another skateboard in his hands

Thejumper you player http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/nv2.html?l=44052 tower of terror by author title 2 -I saw that map on numa on the first pages of NUM and I saw that you can wall jump all the way to the top and get the exit button without hitting the gate switch (and hence not removing the platform)

i'm not a good mapper, is difficult for me to make a good gameplay. Drone club coming soon.
EDIT: i can see my map in browser, but i can't find it in my user level editor! Why? Where is???
this is the link... http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/nv2.html?l=26310

Can i see a replay? You say that's the fastest way ?

[james_S]

About drone club, I think you gottu make sure both thwumps play a part together -so it would be like a cool 'slider' as opposed to just normal thwump dodging. So maybe make it that the ninja has to chase the first thwump instead of being chased by it (then dodge second thump then use first thwump to get out) -but anything to make sure both thwumps play a part. But anyhow the circles look awesome like that classic Metanet map that has them (or two)

Yea wall jump to very top on the first move but make sure u don't activate the gate switch 'under' the exit button. And then he used the slope wall to take away height from his jump as he jumped across through the gap


You're a great mapper c'mon.. but watch out cause you can get pretty hooked and you always need to know that you still got 'it'. You make me think of when I first made a map and I dreamed of being able to create something fantastically complex, elaborate and big, but you got to think of what suits the game I think and massive/chaotic maps are pretty hard/boring for the ninja.
I just played your glass box of fear, which was pretty awesome, I love how you can sort of manage how many drones come out. At first I thought there were too many gates and its too hard/chaotic but nope. Maybe you could've replaced some gate switches with block gates that you have to avoid..

[james_S]

I played Lorenzo's http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/nv2.html?l=31880 sou eu! I think it was one of the best gameplay experiences I had, it encourages you to go fast and yet try to do lucky jumps and be a bit clever. In a basic way, having many threats makes you feel good about yourself as you beat them (more difficult to get that feeling if its just one clever positioned enemy that proves to be very tricky like those in many of Losttortuga's maps).
The laser room could've been made harder by making the ninja have to jump further back to the tiles (i.e so u need to do a run up while the laser is charging). And the mines on which I died, well sure they're kind of character building and sadistic er but they ruin the flow and harmony of the map. And its to simple to just jump up and down over some mines :(

The mines at the end could be replaced by a floorgaurd. I think that would make it more fun.

Edit1: I want to share some levels, so I'll just edit this post:

012 - neuron by stafflute.
Point of Ballast by remm.
013 - trapped by stafflute.

Yoke300 is a known user?

[james_S]

sweet maps ghjijhg -Interesting to see that Neuron map too, because there's been many new Nv2 maps with that mines & bounceblock gameplay but not like that.
You tend to publish your own maps really late my time (where are you from?) and I'm always about to go to bed. I hardly played any of yours. I thought your http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/nv2.html?l=6936 The Cloud map was amusing

re: thejumper, I noticed Premiumhair was a mapper on Numa

stafflute made other good levels too, I have a few of them in my favorites. I believe he stopped mapping.

Also, I publish my maps really late for my time too. I try not to, but it's a habit.

[james_S]

I like map by Lusprs http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/nv2.html?l=51367 And was pretty surprised to see Lamus123 make this > http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/nv2.html?l=50661 diamonds. Although its hard to trust mappers who have made noobish maps before, Lamus123 might be cheating. (anyway).

I like Oleary15's map http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/nv2.html?l=51287 -funny how that gold collecting bit not only fits in terms of looks but also the game play (gamleplay flows nicely)

Funny how Eddymatogaiios (l's look the same as i's) published such a good challenge map http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/nv2.html?l=50972 for the sake of a joke and sacrificed getting credit himself for the idea
