Knock back dungeon stuck.

[Lord-Xanthor]

I actually spent several hours looking through all the files in hopes of activating the admin panel so I can exit the dungeon. I havent played so long, Im a newbie all over again. Anyway, my issue is this: I almost completed the air dungeon, when a disgruntled squidworth on sterroids attacked me and though I killed it, it hit me with something that sent me several blocks between two rooms in a doorway. Problem is, each side has a floor panel that shoots me and sends me reeling back into the doorway between rooms. Im stuck with no way out. If I die, Ill drop all the items which are needed and no way to get them after, without getting myself into the same situation.

Heh, took some time, but paid off. Found what I was looking for, and got out. Now to finish my game =)

I suspect I know what happened here but I'm going to do some testing to find out. It sounds like an Imp knocked you through an electrified floor? It's a scenario I have never testing but I need to somehow make sure that can't happen. You should only be able to pass electrified floors while wearing rubber boots. thanks! I'll look into it.

I'm stuck ion the dungeon too on the second room. I can't for the life of me work out how to use the zappy guns on the blocks surrounded by a huge hole. The door behind me shut and I forgot my teleport potions. I;m stuck with dying the only way out.

Sorry about this! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I didn't think about the fact that if you get stuck on that puzzle then you have no way to escape! I'm going to need to think up a solution to that problem... For now I can explain better how that puzzle mechanic works and hopefully that can get you out. Basically there are 3 different mechanisms when you walk in. There are electricity guns, floor buttons, and floor spawners. To start you need to activate the floor spawners by right clicking on them. These will spawn electrified blocks that can then be moved by the guns. Step two may be the piece you're missing. You need to rotate the guns so that they are pointing in the right direction. You do this by hovering over them and pressing "R". I'm wondering if I should adjust that first dungeon and add an additional puzzle that's a bit simpler to teach the rotate mechanic... Step three is getting an electrified block on each button. Thanks again! I will definitely take a look at making this more intuitive and giving a players an out if they do get stuck!

I don't know how to hover. Though I can't work out where to get rubber boots from either so I may be a bit far behind, lol.

Thanks:) I seem to be good at finding things to get stuck on, lol.

[Naloth]

By hover I mean move your mouse over it. It might help to know that you can activate the guns from a distance...

So I've been putting a lot of thought into this issue and I think I have a good solution that actually would add a feature at the same time. First off I'm going to add a dungeon room before the room you got stuck in. This room will be designed in a way that can teach you better how to use the rotating ability on the guns. But the problem that really bothered me is that you got stuck and there was nothing you could do about it. If you don't like puzzles and don't feel like figuring it out you have no choice but to quit! So I think at the beginning of every dungeon I'm going to provide a chest. Inside that chest will be a jewel. When used, this jewel will teleport you to the outside dungeon entrance. What makes this cool is that if you have all 4 dungeon jewels and portals, you can warp around the world quickly. Makes for a handy little trick! I'm going to try to put out an update soon with these changes (depends on how long it takes me). Just be aware that you'd need to start a new game or manipulate your save files in order to play the new version of the dungeons. And of course let me know if you still need help. If you still can't figure it out I'd be happy to make a video to explain how to get unstuck. Thanks!

If he sends me his save, I can edit him out of the dungeon. Heh, guess I should have mentioned this. Figured it was part of the game so just changed my location using a memory manager. Naloth, any updates forth coming?
Was thinking, why not have a pole to see whats wanted and do a kickstart fundraiser to get support. You sold this game way to cheap to support major updates. Thats just my opinion.

[Pixiara]

I tried the hover thing but I can't reach the guns. I've tried all sides and they won't rotate. Maybe if I can find another of those build artifact things that give you further reach

[Pixiara]

Oh, also i found another bug. It still crashes to desktop when selling a house but only if I try to sell without picking a villager to sell to. Oops. It's fine but if you do it by accident and haven't saved in a bit. Ouch

[Pixiara]

Yeah, they won't turn. Though I dunno if it's because i clicked the boxes first so they're electrified and won't turn off again. I may have to start a new game to test

[Pixiara]

Nope. Just can't reach them. odd

[Naloth]

Ok... so here is my video explanation: https://youtu.be/U5ltC73SEq4
I'm hoping this helps. Whenever the gun is rotating it's because I'm typing the "R" key. Another thought crossed my mind though as I did this video... In any given dungeon room, you need to complete the puzzle AND defeat all of the enemies before the blocked doors open. It's POSSIBLE that a bat could be hiding behind the wall at the bottom of the room. Anyways if you still have problems let me know because if the room is bugged out somehow I've got to find a way to fix this. Thanks again!

[Pixiara]

*facepalm* I was pressing right click rather than the r button. Oddly right clicking the zapper in the first room turned it so I figured it was right click, lol. I'm past the dreaded room now. Thank you!!

I wanted/want to do a Let's play on youtube of Tile Miner but I couldn't while I thought I couldn't progress :)

[Naloth]

Awesome! Glad you were able to get past it! I've uploaded a new version of the game that should fix this issue in a few ways (this won't make a difference unless you make a new game). First: The air dungeon has added a room. The objective is to teach you the rotation mechanic in a more simplistic way. I am hoping this helps... Second: When you enter the each dungeon there will be a chest with a jewel inside of it. This gem will teleport you to the outside portal entrance of the dungeon it's found in. This way, if you get stuck you have a way of getting back to the entrance and starting over. This will also allow you to zip around the map quicker if you move the portals which is a cool added mechanic. Hope this helps!
