[Map Pack] IX-Pack {v1g released} [Jan 3 2015]

[Knux]

I'd have no problem doing all of the fences (which are about 3 in the DS course), since all the other textures in use already make the map look the way it was. If you still want them, I'll be glad to make them for you, including the ones shaped like this / which you can use along with turning some floors into slopes (Sakugarne area used those in the game) and place those there to the side.

If I'm missing something else you'd like, let me know. I have SM64DS, as I said before. That means I can go see what you want done.

[Mr. X]

Nah, I'm good.  BTW, I made a few changes to XDM09 today.  Nothing groundbreaking though.

[Shade Guy]

Is the low-gravity-outside-of-water glitch gone for good? If I recall, it still hung around in v1D.

[Ivory]

Mr. X claims to have finally beat it. But then again, so did I. But he did bigger changes that I did, so perhaps it was covered this time!

Anyways, at this point in time, I just have a few little changes to make here and there, Mr. X has a few changes to do for some X-Pack maps, and then it's IX-v1e time. This should be the last update of the version 1 branch. I intend to make IDM26-30 for the next update, which would bump it up to v2. So, whoosh. If you have anything to suggest, now would be a great time to get some last words in it, otherwise, I present the current change-log.

   -IDM11 - New Weapon Layout

   -IDM19 - Both E-Tank locations have been removed (the one with the ladder) and replaced with a W-Tank. Top Spin is now the E-Tank.

   -IDM21 - Elevation additions, cave area completely redone.
   -IDM22 - Missing texture added
   -IDM23 - Layout changes to make the map less clunky
   -IDM24 - Lower area raised higher to remove the steep climbs.
   -XDM01 - Widened halls, improved map flow
   -XDM02 - Entirely new stage
   -XDM03 - Added a few paths to improve map flow, changed weapon placement
   -XDM04 - Widened paths, rearranged cargo in cargo room
   -XDM05 - Moved flagpole platform to its proper location, added floating platforms, changed weapon placement, changed giant staircase into ramp
   -XDM06 - Music has been changed slightly

   -XDM08 - Removed some pipes on the ground to improve map flow, changed weapon placement, lowered platforms near Moby to prevent ladder boosting to the tall pillar

[Mr. X]

From my testing, I STRONGLY BELIEVE the glitch is gone.  I used to be able to do it reliably once I kind of figured out what was causing it and since the changes, I have not been able to retrigger it.

I'd love to scan all the maps before it's release, however I don't get to call those kind of shots though...
Changes are lookin' pretty good! Can't wait till it's released! Hopefully with CSCM around the same time, and it'll be Christmas again!

Question, mind putting Flash Stopper where Gravity Hold is in the Crystal Mine place? Put Gravity Hold in a harder to reach or hidden spot, it's too dominating on this map. Gravity Man has it, I know, but it has much lower ceilings in most areas. IDM11 (I think) instead has high ceilings everywhere.

[Korby]

But Flash Stopper sucks. Many players have already removed it from their PK3 and it's about as effective as a Blooper in Mario Kart.

We'll let you play it before everyone else if you play your cards right...And by play your cards right, I mean wait for it to be publicly released and then rush to be the first to download it, oh ho ho!

Weapon Changing Stuff

I present the current change-log.

IX-Pack v1E
   -IDM11 - New Weapon Layout

Reeeaaaadddddd.
treeeeeeees
freeeeeezzzeeee

[Mr. X]

BTW, the faster version of XBoss3 that I promised has already been replaced by a new original song.  That was really long lived.

You can hear the new song here:  http://snd.sc/w9rYci

And just for kicks, here was the updated old song:  http://snd.sc/zFQsAY
