Here's a one level hold I put together.
Mostly it's an experiment with scripting, some other new ideas and a "theme-and-variations" set of rooms.
Enjoy.

Um, I think you gave 1S the wrong potion.

I don't quite follow you. What would the right potion be?
I'm happy with my choice of a decoy potion, and the room's completable. Without guessing. (Don't just go in a straight line)

Alright then, uh, if I'm going to keep testing this hold, I'mma need a clue here, because no placement of that potion seems to get those bottom roaches to move any.

I apparently fail at decoys.


--Never mind, I got it.

Okay, I finally got around to finishing this one.

All in all, it's good!

It's good enough for Holds, I suppose.

Also, wait, yes, it is. :( I should steal them, then.

And if that was intentional, awesome. It just didn't seem that way, and I'm not a bad enough dude to do it proper, so.

Also, I guess you don't, but my knowledge of characters and slaying is mildly nonexistent.

Added 4-5 more rooms of insanity.
Enjoy.

4S is entirely too much for my puny mind.

...never mind, got it.

3S1E was a beautiful idea.

The secret room was pretty awesome.

4S1W was pretty good.

And, once again, my traditional complaint about 2S1W-1N1W all being easily solvable if you

But, regardless, it's an awesome hold.

Oops. Didn't think about using the mimic and decoy for purpose other than to

. Will have to think of a way around this.

Will have to have another look at the rooms on the W side, only meant one of them to be solvable from the top. May have made a mistake somewhere.


Sorry, but I couldn't tell you why the computer crashes. Are you using 2.0.8? Maybe post this on bugs?

I believe that's not his fault. Some people have that problem, check the Bugs forum.

As for how to use mimic/decoys.

Could you please confirm that I've removed the unintended solutions in 4S1W and 3S1E? After that am going to move it onto holds. Many thanks.

Three South, One West is solvable without going through any of the exits on three south.. I assume this shouldn't be so?

It's rather simple, really:

Really nice hold by the way . Lots of really interesting and clever ideas... I haven't seen many user holds, but I think this has the best ideas of any I've seen so far.

Now, how to get that last roach on 4S1W :-) ......

Edit: Doh, got it. The powers of a few hours sleep.. Nice and sneaky screen, like it

Jamie, I'm pretty sure Halph calls him just "Beethro" a few times in JtRH. I checked this for another hold I made. There shouldn't have been a hole in the wall in 3S1W, I put that in there while testing and forgot to take it out.

Ahhh ok. Fair enough. Sorry for the mistake!

Yes, that's how I ended up doing it... As I said, sneaky! And I too can't see any other way, but then, I'm dull :)

cheers!

Okay, then I did 4S1W the way you expected.

I...really and truly am not even going to pretend I can do 3S1E now, I'm not nearly awesome enough. At least it still claims I've conquered it. Yaaaay.
