Yeah, 10MB is roughly the limit. Why is it so big? You aren't using copyrighted files without permission, are you?

What file format are you using for audio clips? At full-quality 44.1kHz sampling (CD quality) you're going to have very large files.

With human voices, you should be able to record or downsample to oh, 5--10kHz or so without any significant degradation. You could also use .mp3 instead of .wav I think (but again, don't know what you're using).

I'm just guessing that your audio files are quite large, and they don't need to be. If you need a program, try Audacity (it's free) and you'll be able to do sampling conversions there, basically making your file sizes smaller without a noticeable difference in sound quality.

It shouldn't be too late. You can still downsample your audio files without re-recording them. Then re-import them into your hold and you'll be good to go. A lot of work perhaps but then the file size will be much smaller and you won't have to delete any audio.

Are you saying you deleted your original files and now they are only in the DROD hold? In that case then I guess there's nothing you can really do except re-record.

I checked out the hold, and I found a backtracking error in Level 1: 1N1E, where the wubba character that Beethro uses to open the door to the East doesn't respawn after that cutscene is done.

So if you try to head West or South instead of going East immediately, the wubba won't respawn and I'm pretty sure Beethro can't hit that switch by himself.

--

Also, it's possible the scrolls might explain this, but in Level 1 5N I didn't like how the mimic appeared out of nowhere once Halph entered the hot tile area. In general, most people prefer it if they can see a pressure plate or a power token and fuse that would release the mimic, which they can see at the start of the room and understand immediately how it works.

Then they know that they're supposed to go onto the hot tiles without having to guess that the architect wanted them to do it.

===

I like the idea of having Halph come rescue Beethro, and I'm playing the rest of the hold to see how it turns out.

Just a few more comments:

--

I don't think the videos you've included in levels 4 and 5 seem to be showing up correctly - they appear to me to be mostly green with some randomly-moving artifact-rectangles. It's possible they haven't been encoded or compressed correctly.

--

I'd like to ask the architect to put more checkpoints in Level 5: 2W. It's a decently long room, and the only checkpoint in it is all the way over at the west end, which takes a lot of fighting to get to. If there were a few by the North tar blob, and maybe one at the South end of the room near the entrance to the tar mother, then the room would be a lot less tedious since we could save our progress.

--

In Level 6: 1S, if you kill all the serpents, but then head North, you can't get through to the South again. Even though the character shows up again and goes to the orb, he doesn't hit the orb again.

I've been looking at it because it was submitted to promotion, and there are really a number of things I don't like:

* There are multiple videos of the same thing all over the place. They act like scares you see in other not-so-good games. I feel ill after seeing them.

* At least 1 room is not reachable.

* At least one exits that finish the hold too early.

* Lots of errors caused by missing voices. (Not sure if its my special DROD version.)

* As for the English, maybe its better to remove it.


This hold is not finished yet.

I think the architect has done some updates to solve some of my problems, but I need some more help.

Can someone with a newer version of DROD confirm that they don't have beeping when playing this hold?

And can I have some confirmation that L3 2N is solvable? I'm not good in goblin manipulations.

It'd be nice if you could make the hold "anyone edit' for testing.

"Anyone Edit" not so good idea because people will (can) cheating.
i mean - who will not be testing this hold

Anyway H.A. have 1000 reasons to not approve this hold
because i can't to do so much work.
I don't want to explain all reasons in forum because
i write(d) it in chat with H.A.

And basic reason - I am not really learn English language
and it's hard for me to communicate with people in English.

I communicating on base (memory) learnings...

Thanks Larry (mod up)!

As for the hold, there's not a lot of work to be done if you don't care about the beeps. They are there because you deleted the voices but not the scripts calling them. You don't have to change that, but players don't like all the beeping.

The only thing we need to remove are the copyrighted images/video. We will not publish those holds. More information: here

As for cheating this hold, well, I have a Anyone Edit version. I couldn't find all those bugs if I didn't. People will ask for Anyone Edit version if your hold is not fun to play. Fun is not part of the promotion rules so we can still promote your hold.

If you can't remove the the copyrighted stuff if that is too much work for you I can try(!) to remove them for you. Just ask.

I can't help you first if it means that other holds have to wait.

The hold list isn't empty yet, but I finally have the time to look at this hold.

Unfortunately there are so many images and videos added in so many rooms that I don't have the time to scan every room and remove them.

Also, I got sick watching the rooms the first time and I can't watch these rooms any more.

Sorry, I can't work on this. If you want this to published you have to change it yourself.

It good becase:

WARNING people! Don't play this hold!
Because i am will del copyrighted stuff and bugs then
i will re-edit images and videos without copyrgihted stuff.

Wait |EIGHT FIX| or |NINE FIX| then you can play this hold.
If you are had passed many levels , stop you game and wait
fix8,9!

This idea was from "Yur-Val" and i think it is very
good decision!

Other people have added their own voice acting, artwork, and even music and it has been very nice. If you create something, it's your work and you have the "copyright" and have the right to distribute it as you please.
