| policy on the restrictions divinity has some unique restrictions and special modes such as No-force and Opportunist, which work only in divinity. although these Divinity-only features promote a more pleasant gameplay by, for example, disabling rough shortcuts and giving auto victory to the offscreen shaman, it is still a basic necessity that gameplay of every map should be reproducible in the normal rooms' condition of tfm. In other word, gameplay which we can never experience in a normal room should not be made in divinity. the restrictions and opportunisit mode look against the principle. So, here I explain how they are justified to exist and how they should be used in practice. Opportunist Mode This mode provides the same function as the shaman skill "Opportunist", by which the shaman automatically wins right after the last mouse enters the hole. This mode was imported to support maps having offscreen cage in which the shaman is trapped. the tfm system doesn't allow shamans to get offscreen cheese, so normally it's impposible to make a map in which the shaman is trapped in offscreen cage and still the shaman itself can win. Ensuring shaman's cheese is not a P1 requirement so we don't need to exclude such maps. But in Divinity, whether the shaman has saved itself or not is taken into consideration when calculating the grade and score. That's why Opportunist Mode was implemented. Opportunist Mode is given to maps with offscreen cage trapping the shaman. No-Force (no ground-penetration) here is the original description about No-Force mode. a dit : maybe we won't give No-Force to a new map and we might even abolish it entirely in the near future for the following reasons.
abolishing it is just a possiblity not the final decision because as written in 2. now we know some perfect ways to implement the same function through xml. so the gameplay No-Force provides is possible in the normal rooms and No-Force can be justified as an alternative implementation to the inside-xml ones. No-Balloon No-Balloon is a mode in the maps of which balloons are automatically removed. No-balloon has been made technically to give the condition of builds in antigravity to the maps with normal gravity. what makes antigravity maps harder? of course the upside down environment simply confuse us. but it's a problem of how much we're used to it and experienced people don't have much trouble building just upside down. The true nature which makes antigravity maps technically harder can be explained with the following two points. 1. mice cannot jump. 2. balloons go down. only these two points make builds in antigravity special. They are the reason why builds in antigravity cannot be the simple upside down version of those in the normal gravity. (to be precise water has irregular physics too but we don't see maps with water-antigravity so often and its not a general issue about antigravity.) the two restrictions are peculiar to antigravity but they are what we should consider when building in the normal gravity too. "mice can't jump" means we need to make newbie-friendly builds including gentle slopes and safe bridges. "balloons go down" means we can't use balloons as sources of upward bouyancy force. this is technically interesting. in the normal gravity only static grounds, balloons, runes and water can support objects against gravity. runes and water are too weak, unstable and hard to control to be the major sources of supporting force. balloons' buoyancy force is stronger and more stable than that of runes' but it's still a finite force, which can be affected by the mice's weight and their activity. so building without it is interesting and also important as general technique. although antigravity brings the interesting challenge it's not preferable if too many antigravity maps comes into the rotation because antigravity itself is not a comfortable environment for most players. No-Balloon is meant to avoid a flood of antigravity maps. Therefore, there are some requirements maps must satisfy to be No-Balloon.
example map which can be No-Balloon the following map can be No-Balloon.
no practical solution using balloons in the antigravity version. the bridge mice walk is simple. remarkable balloon solution based on buoyancy. No-Lift No-lift is a mode shaman cannot attach balloons to mice. it was made to protect the gameplay of some old maps which become quite easier if the shaman uses balloons to lift up mice. This mode will be abolished since it doesn't rationally meet the principle. the current No-Lift maps will get No-Balloon if they are worth it and, if not, they will be removed from the rotation. |
