Meta Level completion

[Maldo Straken [FR]]

Hello, i'm having trouble finding what levels need to done in the Meta level.
Does someone know if the achievements is bugged ? I checked and apparently finished all the level in meta

Did you remember to form the rule "LEVEL IS WIN" on the Meta map itself?

Have you made it to "Center" yet & made sure you beat all of the levels there?

Have you made it to the white flower in the bottom right corner of the area map?

Do you have 226 win spores collected?

[Maldo Straken [FR]]

I'm at 225 spores , i don't know how to share screenshots here
I have finished center and i've made Level is win

But you haven't made it to the white flower in the bottom right corner of the area map yet?

Because there's 226 spores in the game and if you only have 225 and haven't done that ...then that's the one you're missing.

The white flower turns blue once you have completed that level.

I've completed the white flower thing, the ghost is level, cursor is level
Is there a rock is level thing ?
I got a screenshot of my progression on my profile but i don't know how to share it on discussions

Doesn't matter. Your profile is public so I was able to take a look right now.

You turned level 13 into text but you didn't actually beat the level.

You can tell because unlike level 3's text, which has a pink outline, level 13's text does not.

[Maldo Straken [FR]]

Thanks a lot that was what missing got the 100% now !
Thanks again !

Wait, 226 spores? I only have 225 and have all of the achievements and also all areas are light up. How is this possible?

If I'm not mistaken, it should be Center >> Gallery.

This level is not complete until you make something in it win & then touch it - something which is easy to forget to do in the midst of playing around with what this level has to offer.

You do not need to complete this level in order to get all of the achievements.
(However, it does have a spore to offer.)

Alternatively, it might be "The End" level.
This level also has a spore to offer but only when you make something in it win & then touch it - something which is easy to forget to do in the midst of finishing the level by forming the end of game rule.

Center says that there's "X/1" spores to collect, but there's actually 2 spores to collect.
You can get "2/1" spores for this area.
(All of the areas are like this but you only need the listed amount of spores for the area to be counted as "completed".)

I do have 2/1 in Center. Could you please check screenshots in my profile.

*phew* That's a tough one. I'm going to have to open the game and take a closer look.

I wonder if it's one of the new levels that were added in an update, though.

What version of the game does the title screen say that you are running?

[QBay]

I've finished the game on a version 277 which is the current stable one. I than switched to "beta_unstable" (version 370) but it looks like these two versions have the same amount of levels.

I could maybe upload my save file anywhere if you are willing to check it?

Alright, yeah, that's the same version.
Did you always play on this version or did you used to play on an older version?

I don't think the achievements or flowers would get undone but I know the Volcano sub-map, for example, had a new extra level added to it at some point (figured that out by watching Vinesauce Vinny's stream on Youtube, after I beat it, he played it almost right when it came out.)

Proof of the completed map for version 277, with 226 spores.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2271737713

You might want to just check every sub-map and see if any of them have an incomplete level.



I could try to look at the save file but I haven't really done that so I'm not sure I'd know what I'm looking at. I don't completely understand it but I understand -enough- of it.

You can find the save file in this folder, on Windows: "C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\Baba_Is_You", which can be accessed by Windows key, search "Run", then typing "%AppData%" into the run menu, then opening the "Baba_Is_You" folder.

Yep... just as I suspected... the save file (either "0ba.ba" or "1ba.ba" or "2ba.ba") is a text file.
You can just open this with Notepad.exe then copy & paste the data straight into a forum post - but it's a pretty tough to understand blob of text (& ugly).

...actually, after pasting this onto the forums, it's not so ugly looking.
It seems to use Unix-based new-line feeds, which don't show up on Windows Notepad. Still, it's very disorganized because it adds the levels to the list as you complete them (ie. out of order).

Here's the most important part that I'll be looking for:

[baba_prize]
=1
282level=7
264level=10
169level=21
206level=10
207level=18
304level=2
106level=13
87level=15
180level=12
182level=16
total=226
177level=15
16level=20
283level=20
179level=15
200level=19
232level=9

Each one of the codes on the left corresponds with a sub-area (I don't know which ones - but I can figure it out).


Here's what my full save-file looks like:

Ok, I've compared savefiles and found out that I'm missing Whoa in Meta. I thought it's not possible to convert anything else to LEVEL in Meta because I've got "Area complete" but oh well.
Thank you.

Huh... that's the cursor level. It looked pink in your screenshot, so I thought you had beaten it already.
(Save glitch maybe???)

Also, I have no idea how you figured that out by looking at my save file but glad I could help!

Here's what I was able to decipher from the save file data (I mean, I already wrote all this, so I may as well share it) :

Each one of the codes on the left corresponds with a sub-area (I don't know which ones - but I can figure it out).
...

From what I can discern, these are the areas that correspond to the values:

282level=7	ABC 
264level=10	TEMPLE RUINS? /OR/ THE DEPTHS? 
169level=21	DEEP FOREST 
206level=10	TEMPLE RUINS? /OR/ THE DEPTHS?  
207level=18	SOLITARY ISLAND 
304level=2	CENTER
106level=13	MAIN MAP (THE ISLAND)
87level=15	THE LAKE? /OR/ ROCKET TRIP? /OR/ VOLCANIC CAVERN? 
180level=12	FLOWER GARDEN
182level=16	CHASM 
total=226
177level=15	THE LAKE? /OR/ ROCKET TRIP? /OR/ VOLCANIC CAVERN? 
16level=20	FOREST OF FALL? /OR/ META? 
283level=20	FOREST OF FALL? /OR/ META? 
179level=15	THE LAKE? /OR/ ROCKET TRIP? /OR/ VOLCANIC CAVERN? 
200level=19	The ??? Map 
232level=9	MOUNTAINTOP

So, if I'm not mistaken...

Main Map has 13 levels (plus 1 spore you can get from winning the map)
& is:
- 106level

The Lake has 15 levels
& is either:
- 87level or
- 177level or
- 179level

Solitary Island has 18 levels
& is:
- 207level

Temple Ruins has 10 levels
& is either:
- 206level or
- 264level

Forest of Fall has 20 levels
& is either:
- 16level or
- 283level

Deep Forest has 21 levels
&is:
- 169level

Flower Garden has 12 levels
& is:
- 180level

Rocket Trip has 15 levels
& is either:
- 87level or
- 177level or
- 179level

Chasm has 16 levels
& is:
- 182level

Volcanic Cavern has 15 levels
& is either:
- 87level or
- 177level or
- 179level

Mountaintop has 9 levels
& is:
- 232level

ABC has 7 levels
& is:
- 282level

The Depths has 10 levels (plus 1 spore you can get from winning the map)
& is either:
- 206level or
- 264level

Meta has 20 levels (plus 2 more spores you can get: 1 from winning the map, & 1 from winning the cursor) (at least, I think the cursor is the other level not being counted by the save data...)
& is either:
- 16level or
- 283level

Center has 2 levels
& is:
- 304level

EDIT: Missed some stuff in my proof-read revision.

Cursor is a shade of pink by default I think, slightly different shade maybe?

You can go to the game folder (in steamapps) and there are files for each level number where you can figure out the names of levels. And also for each map level there are IDs of sublevels. Though "Whoa" is not on any of the maps and is probably accessed in a special way (and don't count to map spore amount).

I've just sorted all lines in my savefile and yours and than compared.
