Well done, boblishman!

And I'm looking forward to visiting your shell.

well... I'm looking forward to a release of the 1.3.1 version of the pluging (with everything working) before I convert it from the 0.5 version it was build with ... then I can make it much more interesting. (I'm not inclined to update it yet - because of the work needed in changing all the properties etc.) until I have a fully stable working plugin to use ... ... hint, hint ...

I think a "new" fully working version of the GoW plugin would be a great way to celebrate the news Greydragon has released today ...

I got close, very close without using flymode, but I failed in the end having to use flymode, then beat my head against a very hard wall when I found out how close I was

Ahh... well, as they say here in the US (and possibly other places), "hindsight is 20/20".

But at least now you know the solution!

Hello,

I am a newbie to the fan made URU ages, and have just started exploring them the last few days.

(Heck, I still haven't finished URU Prime... I take a LONG time to finish games. But hey, I really get my money's worth. )

Anyway, I checked out Ahra Pahts last night, and the 111 Shell.
I registered on this forum just to tell you I was totally blown away how clever this puzzle was!

Once I realized to some degree what was going on, I couldn't believe how involved the puzzle was revealing itself to be..
When I reached the end, I really felt like this was a beautiful work of creativity and cleverness.
Another more "simple" thing... when you reach the top, and get the amazing view of the surroundings, it really
feels like quite a triumph.

So, BRAVO!!! WELL DONE!
I thoroughly enjoyed this puzzle - Thank you for constructing it!

I was beginning to get the feeling that Ahra Pahts was this beautiful, expansive, and yet empty thing, and that most fan-ages
were more focused on building the visuals than on the game-playing aspect.
So I was floored!

Woo Hoo!

A funny thought I wanted to pass along too..
when I first spotted it with it's austere marble look, and saw it listed as a "GoW" shell, I was sort of expecting a kind of Fraternal Lodge of intellectuals whereby once you got through the "door puzzle", it would be a posh yet stodgy den/lounge that you'd imagine having cognac and cigars, and be surrounded by globes, books, relics, and hunting trophys.
I think your vision was better.

Yes, Robert's shell is the best so far, but don't forget that Paradox and myself also hae shells that you can visit, mine is #119 and Paradox's is #201.

Other than Robert's shell, mine is the only other shell with puzzles in it, static puzzles only at this point.
Reason, I don;t like Python, and I can't read it either, hence no Python scripting excluding the broken book

Thanks for the kind words, GastroMan - glad you enjoyed it!

And, as Grogyan mentioned, his shell is a wonderful puzzle - #119, across the canal from mine.

Once you've solved both, you can go to Paradox's shell (#201), crank up your favorite club tunes, and dance in the light show!

Oh - if you're looking for a lodge-type setting, see if you can find the secret Maintainers room somewhere deep within shell 111...

Okay, is there really a maintainers room? I looked around but can't find it anywhere in 111, did you mean it was in the released version? Well, I did find something, but it doesn't seem the same as you say here.

I DID find a small room with a book listing some names and that had a outer-space looking linking panel, but that doesn't seem very much like a "lodge" setting, and the link itself can't seem to decide where to go: Kadish, Gahreesen, Ahnonay.

Great job finding it, Ehren!

Explanation Show Spoiler

The names in the book are the Maintainers who inspected my shell and made recommendations before its release. I'm using the term "lodge" in the loosest sense as a secretive place to meet. And the linking book was meant to take you to random places.

Never throw away a good piece of code.

That was the original "wrong number" punishment which was replaced with a panic link.
