Opening the cavern: discoverer claims

Postby Chacal » Wed Jan 23, 2008 11:38 pm

In relation to this challenge, explorers can post here their claim to a new discovery.
In order to avoid spoiling the fun for other explorers, please use spoiler tags to enclose your claim, which may consist of a simple sentence and screenshot such as this:
Show Spoiler


The procedure for doing this is as follows:
- Type your claim
- Click on the "Upload attachment" tab
- Browse to your (reasonably small) picture, click on "Open"
- Click on "Add the file"
- Click on "Place inline" a little higher up, this will add an attachment tag to your text
- Select your text and the attachment, click on the "spoiler=" button at the top.

This looks complicated but it's easier done than said.

Chacal's Explorations

Chacal is not likely to thank me, but from my explore of his 'Opening Up' of Ae'gura, it is clear that he has the heart of an architect. But i also think this would be true of anyone who has a real yearning to see what is behind the closed doors in the Cavern. Chacal carries the yearning out, however, and gives us the spatial volumes that lie behind – the Raum which is normally hidden.

Here is a list of my favorite Uncovered Spaces:

[END OF SPOILERS]

There are many many more little surprises and the whole thing is great fun. I believe i counted 28 discoveries, and there are probably a few more that i missed (for instance, i never did satisfy myself that i uncovered the secrets of the Kadish Gallery Shopping Street). Also, i was a bit disappointed that Chacal did not open the rear doors to Kahlo Pub, going out into the Tokotah Alley. But maybe he can add that later.

Congratulations Chacal, for a delightful and truly well done set of revealments.

My pleasure! I'm glad it worked for you.
I'm also glad that someone finally tried it. It was a lot of work, but most importantly I learned a lot.

I see you wore your Maintainer's suit. Taking no chances, are we? :)

Here's some spoiler comments:

That makes sense.
Maybe I could do a test and try to change visible objects, adding vertices.
But that's a whole different ballgame.

Thanks!
Chacal

Wow - what a great way to explore those places you've been dying to see, but just couldn't reach. Thanks for the treat and the hard work, Chacal! I highly recommend this for people who aren't afraid of tweaking their Uru files.

Now for my slide show...

I'm glad you both like it. It was some work yes, but it was also a way to study prp files in a fun way.

As long as they take a backup first, they're in no danger.
I'll add simple instructions in the tutorial for restoring the files, just in case.

Now for your comments and questions...
