Serano's Islands

[Serano]

Hello,

some time ago I made some levels called Retro-Insel (german for Retro Island). I wanted to make some levels who breathe the spirit of the old Super Mario Games with fitting tilesets made by myself, but unfortunately, they were really poorly. Additionally, i really had no idea for a better fitting name for my levels, because there is nothing, which is really "Retro" anymore. Anyway, I want to share it with somebody, and who knows, maybe anyone gets a good idea for an name.

P.S.: The names for the levels are german, too, but there isn't really a story, but if you wish, i can change them to english titles.

Hello,

I have played your levels. They look quite good and aren't too hard.

Only your secret areas are a bit strange. They aren't hidden before finding them. Only the way to them is hidden and stays hidden when you have found the area.
Is that with entention?

Die deutschen Namen für die Levels kannst du übrigens gerne so lassen :-)

Hey,

Thank your for playing. Yes, it was my intention that the player is able to see where he has to search for holes in the wall. But I’ve got to admit, I haven't fully figured out how to make the walls to disappear. But I´m planning to learn this for my next levels.

Hi,

with the level editor, it's easy. Create a new layer (layer >0 because it has to hide the area beeing in "Interactive"), hide the secret area with tiles in the new layer, and add the name of the new layer by "FadeTilmap" (in propeteries of the secret area). Then the new layer will disappear while Tux finds the secret area.

[Serano]

Well thank you, I'll try that out later.

I`m planning to overwork my whole levels so they match the name "Retro Island", the old ones will be redone, too (Bonus-areas... ) but the name of the level set will be renamed. For the "true" Retro Island, I took some inspiration from Jazz Jackrabbit. What do you think? A good start? Complete rubbish?

[Serano]

I have reworked my levels, added a second island, changed the order and renamed the whole level pack to "SuperTux Worldtour" (or the german equivalent of it). Can somemone tell my how I have to pack it for the official add-ons?

[Tobbi]

I can certainly try and package your worldmap as an add-on. But, could you do me one favour and translate the German strings into English (or, optionally, I can do that). We can then allow translators to localize those strings.

[Serano]

Oh yes, sorry. I have translated it now, thank you for your help.

[Tobbi]

I finally managed to package up an add-on of your worldmap. Please check the attached ZIP file.

I also corrected some of your English strings

Thanks for the worldmap. If you want, I can add it to the index, allow translators to translate it etc.

EDIT: Apparently, our implementation of PhysFS doesn't like umlauts. I have thus replaced them with their 2-letter-acronym.

[Serano]

Thank you very much for your help. Nice idea for the title, fits better to the system of other level packs. Feel free to add it to the index, then more players have the opportunity to play it.

Your add-on can now be translated on Transifex. If you want to provide the German translation yourself, I'd suggest you go to http://transifex.com , register and join the German translation here:

[Serano]

I don't have a Tx-Account, I will check that later... By the way, in the add-on-menu, before installing, there is the entry "Serano's Islands", but after the download it switches back to the old name "SuperTux: Worldtour". But I prefer the new name more.

[Tobbi]

Which do you prefer? "SuperTux: Worldtour" or "Serano's Islands"?

Which do you prefer? "SuperTux: Worldtour" or "Serano's Islands"?

Serano's Islands. Sorry for the trouble.
