I know that we usually don't get to see everyone's entry before the contest submission period ends. I am still working on mine and I kinda like this. It may stimulate more interest, lets see.

Yep. And people can be inspired by it as well. I found that with the Limited Space contests, it really helped to see that other people were participating too, it wasn't just done blindly.

Only if you steal their ideas

One can be inspired by a room without copying it.

Re: Invisibility - The Official Sept '07 Contest (0)

If my room inspires that is great, doubtful but great.

But, actually seeing the first submissions helped me get going, even though mine looks nothing like any I have seen so far. I just didn't want to submit the same concept and bore everyone to death.

At this point I am testing the beatability of mine, which means I can't make it too hard or I could never beat it myself. :lol

P.S.

Here's my entry. The idea of this room is to see how much invisibility potions you will use to beat it.

EDIT: Uploaded an updated version, look below.

I can confirm VIPCOOL's post. I use 3.0.0, and attempting to import your hold gives the "created in more recent version" message. Maybe re-run the converter and replace the attachment?

The Converter has a glitch, build 53 now has glitched, you cant convert holds from 3.1.0.53 anymore.
Or can you?

Re: Invisibility - The Official Sept '07 Contest (0)

My entry. Again. I fixed a problem with one of the orbs and made the room more understandable by adding some scrolls with explanations.

This is final version of my submission, demos are included.

Re: Invisibility - The Official Sept '07 Contest (0)

Here is my submission to the contest. I believe it is a fun, interesting room. I think it would also be very interesting to optimize it.

Now I will take a look at what I am running up against

Having open submissions means that we can ask for help, some of these are quite hard so I need some help.

Re: Invisibility - The Official Sept '07 Contest (0)

Guards are silly - they will ignore your sword beyond considering it a space to which they cannot move.

So if you hold your sword in an orthogonal direction (west, east, north, south) a guard approaching said sword head-on will move diagonally around it in an attempt to sword you.

Click here to view the secret text

Of course, keeping the guard on the pressure plate once you've got it on there is also a little bit tricky, so examine everything in the area I've provided you with.

Also, this is just the first part of the room - there's a few other things in here too

Vipcool's entry has a watchable demo. It may be of some help.

×Well I have the idea but adder wrangling is not my best skill. I can't get the adder to not get stuck in the upper area above the third tab over copy of myself. I have killed everything in the top area but then get stuck. Please don't tell me I have to come back later.

You don't.

×I barely know where to start. I guess thats the idea. The only section I could beat was the puzzle of many eyes.

1> How in the world do I get the wabba to go down the arrows to the red snakes as anything else I wouldn't be able to kill?

2> How would I get to the tar mothers?

3>The spiders puzzle has me completely stumped.

Well you get the idea.

Wow, I never thought people would find my entry hard . The idea of the room is that you need to keep on switching between invisible and visible.

You can actually complete VIPCOOLs entry by only using the invisibility potions you must get: the one you start on, the ones on the pressure plates, and the one inbetween the green doors.

Have you tried redownloading the demo? Did so yesterday, and it says it is 3.1.0.54, so it should work with it.

Yes, of course it will be importable into the newest version. But the rules say it needs to be importable into 3.0.0.

The Rules:

...

7) Thanks to a very interesting point raised by Briareos, this rule has been added. The release of 3.1 may happen during the contest, this can't be predicted. It will be assumed for the duration of this contest that all holds must be playable in 3.0.0. The odds are that your hold will also be playable in 3.1 but just in case it isn't, it should be playable in 3.0.0 over 3.1 if there's a dispute. It's very unlikely that holds will break, as only a few things in terms of monsters (briars, stalwarts) have been changed for 3.1 but just in case.

Re: Invisibility - The Official Sept '07 Contest (0)

My demo says that it is 3.0.1 but when I go to install Jeff's it says "This file was created by a newer version of DROD and isn't supported in this earlier version."

Also, I had no problem with Jeff's limited contest entry II.

I think the demo installer on the site has been updated to version 3.1.0.54, so if you re-downloaded the demo you could play it.

Of course, you'd also have to re-import all your holds and your player file, so it might be a bit of a hassle...
