Hei, quite a while since I last posted, or played CW1/2 at all: I've been playing the games again lately to see if I could improve some times, and indeed I could. But I noticed one thing that puzzled me: I searched the forum, but couldn't find anything about it. I can't possibly be the only one experiencing this?
CW2 Bonus Mission 9: Cubic. I quite obviously enter the room below me and take out the emitter before it goes off, and it goes off at the 2 minutes mark. Plenty of time to do the job with ease and just breeze through the room. So but I checked the two videos I could find on Youtube about the level... and in both these videos, the said emitter goes off after 1 minute! How is that possible!? Either this is perfectly normal, else somebody should have pointed this out way before, but I cannot find any trace. I just relaunched the mission, and no, the emitter doesn't go off after 1 minute. On the other hand, the bars in the room to the right correctly appear after 4 minutes. My copy of the game is nicely original, and the version is 0497. To be honest, I don't remember much in detail, but I have lowered my best time from 16' to 9' -a sign that, before, I just HAD to have had some trouble with that emitter.
I obvioulsy don't feel comfortable posting this in a forum that's not seen any activity in 5 months with a -probably- dumb question about something that I'm clearly not seeing... but I can't figure this out.
PS: I swear I don't have the faintest idea how to use any editor features, both in CW1 or 2. I simply cannot have edited the map and forgotten about it! ??? ??? ???
Well, I just don't remember. But, my guess is that the game initially released with the emitter going off at 60 sec and then I changed it to 120 sec in an update to make it easier. That's the likely explanation.
Thank you! It just has to be this way... it still somewhat puzzles me: if I try, I do have a faint recollection of the emitter going off earlier. But that surely just cannot be, not with me nonfiddling with anything, I guess.
That was that: thank you so much! Got me CW3 this moment, BTW. See you all soon! ;D
