Re: Shell 111 Challenge
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 ...

Re: Shell 111 Challenge
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!

Re: Shell 111 Challenge
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.

Re: Shell 111 Challenge
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

Re: Shell 111 Challenge
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.
