To play any new mazes, you'll need Not Pacman++.
To install a custom level:
- Navigate to the LOVE folder in appdata, .local, or whatever (Windows users: Search for %appdata% and it should be in there, under Roaming.)
- Open the not_pacman folder
- Open the maps folder. Create it if it's not already (use all lowercase letters).
- Drop your file in here.
- Run Not Pacman++ to play it!
Here's one of my levels, the one this thread was originally created for:
I originally wrote:So I made an attempt at making a level using Automatik's editor, and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. I decided to remake the thirteenth of the non-arcade mazes from Ms. Pac-Man, which were ripped by our very own Superjustinbros. My results came out pretty good, I'd say - not perfect, but pretty good.
Have a look-see:
I'm not cool enough to screenshot while actually playing.
I couldn't remake it perfectly because of my patience and other factors. This is what I know is different:
- The maze itself is outlined in the game, while I made the walls solid. This is mostly because I lost patience around the thirty-minute mark - but I did manage to get the ghost spawn box outlined.
- Some of the walls are off-grid. This does not affect gameplay, but it does affect my OCD.
- There are no warp zones.
- The rotation axis is off, but that's only because I used Pac-Man's original position as a reference point. I don't feel like centering all the walls, and it plays fine anyway.
The level itself works perfectly for the purposes of Not-Pacman - unlike in the normal maze, the ghosts seem to follow you everywhere in this one, probably because of the vast amount of open space. It's pretty darn difficult, but it is completable.
Here's the download.
To add this maze to your collection:
- Navigate to the LOVE folder in appdata, .local, or whatever
- Open the not_pacman folder
- Open the maps folder. Create it if it's not already (use all lowercase letters).
- Drop the file in here.
- Run Not Pacman++ to play it!
Also, question: How many hyphens did I use in this post, anyway?
