Losing the whiskey

Post by levellord »

In my mod level 16 contains the joystick instead of the whiskey, when I die on level 16 the whiskey is lost even though it was obtained in another level. Anyone know why?

You die! No whiskey for you!

This post should clear that up.

Basically, stick to the same level for each item as the original game and there'll be no problems. It's completely arbitrary which level each location on the map links to anyway, so it shouldn't make any difference.

Perhaps there's piece of code somewhere that denotes what level contains each item which you could try patching if it really bothers you.

Maybe Keen drank it? :o

Anyways. Yeah, I was going to say same what Spleen just said. Oh, and sorry, I can't remember seeing a patch for that thing..

From my point of view, since you can work around it by simply shuffling your level numbers around, there's not much point in making a patch for it.

Nah, I don't need a patch, I just wanted to know why. Turns out that although you can leave other levels wth an item just by dying instead of exiting ('cheating') level 16 is hard coded to remove any whiskey you have if you die.
