Armadillo run - all levels - No 'Force' used

[JeVousViolerai]

9:00 Wat.

how many tries did that take?

[Nightmareworld]

Thats Dream Theater - Erotomania... noooob :p

[kevinlee41300]

4:01 how to u make the rocket slowly come down and not boost straight up?

[kevinlee41300]

@painstryver it is,but it does use a tension difference.

[thebigbang100]

gravity is force :)

but great solutions !

does somebody know how to get al the extra levels?

[ooosku]

yea, COMPLETE THE GAME!

[Painstryver]

hang on 1:30 the rocket is force...

[shadowofdarkchaos]

that was already on the level. u cannot get rid of that stuff

[HDTVGamePlay]

nope

[AvenciToT]

thanks man, with your help i complete all levels with 18053 :D

thx again xD

[Valenkot10]

you are a genius

[Valenkot10]

fuck the level golf i was trying it 1month

[nigrke]

Is this game worth the monkey to you? and is it hard?

[NAME68794]

at level "its a not kripton factor" try use steel end metal bars too break floor under armadillo.

week bridge possible complited with 2 ropes (you use 3).

at level at 04.31^^ try build more light construction.

at 6.26 try build more light hammer

[NAME68794]

if rocket with armadillo fly away from gamefield end armadillo "going down" - its "force"???

Sorry my english - i cant write at this languadge correctly))

can speak and read but not write))

[NAME68794]

thanks man. i use few of your ideas end have coplited all 50 levels with +17K)))))

[Mikebert4]

No worries, I never got round to making my $16k left video *sigh*. I'd love to see how you managed it with $17k left :)

[jayraymeeee]

What are you using to record??

[Frazzel303]

oi you suck at the game...i had and get this...2347 dollars left u fat gimp! all the levels ae sooooo bad....shameless...if i were you i'd stick to the demo fag.

[Mikebert4]

I shall do just that, with such insightful critisism one can only hope that one is humble enough to accept the truth and move on.

[stepxunit]

lol u gotta be kidding me

[Mikebert4]

ya damm right I am ;)

[Grimbartok]

Haha, just saw that you are the one posting this video :D lol owned, you knowingly lie about not seeing the rocket. :D I had 1672 $ left there haha, no need for rocket

[heman4ever]

well done!

but you clearly use the "force" at 8:30

[Mikebert4]

Ok, but from what I see, at 8:30 the armadillo is just falling into the sling on the 'It's not Krypton factor' level. If you mean the next clip, thats not the force, and I suggest you read a little more into it :)

[Grimbartok]

lol noob, if you had botherd to see it from 8:27 you see that he had planted a rocket that teares the whole thinga part. It can be done with rubber, so totally unnecesary.

[Mikebert4]

Well, yes. It's possible to do it with rubber. But using a rocket isn't using the force. Read below.

[everythingidontlike]

wat is the "force"?

[Mikebert4]

The force is a bug in the Physics engine.

When processing a level the physics engine tries to make life easier for itself by resloving 'bad' placement (a vertice smack in the middle of a metal bar for example). To do this it moves the vertice back slightly. Now imaging a structure constructed so that a vertice that needs to be 'fixed' cannot move relative to the structure. The physics engine applies a force to move the vertice and the whole structure starts to move. That's 'The force'

[everythingidontlike]

so for example if a rocket hit a line of cloth and it made a wave would that count as the "force"?

[Mikebert4]

nope - if you can get that to work for you it'd be what we in the trade call 'awesome' :p

Use of 'the force' simply means exploiting the above bug in the physics engine. Do a search for armadillo run force on the 'tube - a video will explain it much better than I can

[everythingidontlike]

ok thx

[NAME68794]

hilekar, if you not play at this game why you asking?

at this round roket must bee.

why? - playing end you find out it))

[hilekar]

at the minute 1.32 ...the rocket is not a force? interesting....

[Mikebert4]

*sigh*

[yuravian]

You've clearly never played that level. That rocket is part of the initial level design. It cannot be removed.

[blackl53]

NICE SONG!!!!

[kiddo480]

u used my tactic on stop with the one bar. rocks doesnt it. (it aint MY tactic its just good)

[pjebarakus]

wow without force :) nice job

i did half of the levels with only force

[gandalfintermail]

Oh, and Mike, which song is it on the latter part of the clip?... The first is the lovely "Erotomania", but what's the second (starting at around 07:15)? Thanks, mate!

[brianhill103]

dude its YYZ by rush

[gandalfintermail]

Ok, thanks man!

[gandalfintermail]

Hi Mike!

What's the song you have on this video? Thanks

[Mikebert4]

The song is 'Erotomania' by Dream Theater -  you should look them up :)

[gandalfintermail]

Ok mate, thanks! :-)

[Jeans250]

Thought it sounded like a Dream Theater song...

[SmashedBones]

on level 15 how do u make the cloth bag

[Mikebert4]

It's a triangle, the 'top' is a metal bar which sits above the 'rails' of metal bars. The other two sides are two peices of cloth.

[AK47jordy012]

it WORKS!!!!! i tried it on my h4xed version by Epidem.Rus and its pwnage

[Mikebert4]

the force works ;)

It is, however, lame.

be told :p

[vampiricassassin41]

what is 'the force'?

[AK47jordy012]

THE force is a bug in the physics engin that allows infinite collide to convert to eternal motion... look it up on the armadillo run forums

[StealthMonkey25]

you used force on one lvl, when you used negative force on that rubber to launch the armadillo

[Mikebert4]

I didn't, read below :p

[venomireland]

By Force do you mean Tension and Timers?

[Mikebert4]

nope- read the comment on Force below.

[Sidney600]

On level 8 i had 90 left!

[djkingfresh]

Mike, i dont mean to Take this piss, but "no force"? at one point you smash thru things...

I dont see the point unless you make the level work without breaking anything.

[thecooler29]

do you play this? force on this game is something that cost 100$ lol

[Mikebert4]

The 'force'is a bug in the physics engine - exploiting it allows you to complete most levels for next to nothing.

I refuse to use it - hence 'no force'

And anyway - breaking things is fun!

[thecooler29]

well thanks for clearing that up XD so i guess i used "force" to complete one void(4 i think)

[zashadow131990]

nice!!!:D i love ure solutions!!:D

[mugizz]

at 4:31 you need rubber with negative tension not that more metals

[zargathos]

Nice solutions, wish I had that ingenuity. Also, great selection for music, Erotomania is among my favorites.

[Rustybucketofjunk]

3:40 WAS AWSOME

[babalubro1]

3:40 was lame

[LoneTuxedo]

True Dat

[Mikebert4]

Toche

Though, in all reality, it's lame.

[pinkdog1992]

thanks for explaining the force

[Mikebert4]

You've no idea how long I spent trying to figure it out :p

Weeks, Months, years of searching...

Then one day, I happened across a blog entry denouncing 'the force' and was enlightened :)\

or maybe I just googled it *shrug* can't really remember ^^

[Arkanite]

Impressive...in some I did better, but in others you did much better than me.

On Big Wheel tho, don't use big sections of cloth...they're expensive as hell. Switch them to metal sheets and you'll save alot more.

[Mikebert4]

aye, in my attempts to get over 16k left I seitched to using a slingle metal sheet to pull the armadillo up to the top and then two peices of cloth in the centre to catch it.

much cheaper :)

[pinkdog1992]

what do you mean by force becasue i say you use a compression piece at 3:00

[Mikebert4]

it's rubber with negative tension.

[p1rha]

what´s "the Force"

[Mikebert4]

The force is a bug in the Physics engine.

When processing a level the physics engine tries to make life easier for itself by resloving 'bad' placement (a vertice smack in the middle of a metal bar for example). To do this it moves the vertice back slightly. Now imaging a structure constructed so that a vertice that needs to be 'fixed' cannot move relative to the structure. The physics engine applies a force to move the vertice and the whole structure starts to move. That's 'The force'

[iwantagoodnameplease]

Wow. Some nifty solutions there. I tried for ages to do like ur lvl 17 - catapult. I couldn't get the right gap for it to "squeeze" through so in the end I just had some cloth that pinged under it from the side.

Is there a way I could get the save to look at that one? :)

ta!

Also: Congrats on not using the force! I think it's a massive cheat as well. Clearly abusing a 'bug' in the engine ;)

I only watched up to scoop cos that's where I'm up to and I don't wanna reveal the answers! :)

[Brucy6666]

lol, u know u got just over 14k to finnish, i got $16415 and that don't inc. any bonus lvls :D:D:D:D

[holyloly14]

what u used in level 20 for triangle?

[mussashimits]

hmm, what material did you use which would slide down the metal bars like in level 12?

[Mikebert4]

It's simply two strips of cloth and a length of rope - the cloth falls inside the metal bars and the rope wants to fall outside, but can't because it's connected to the cloth at the node, and hence the whole construction slides down the bars instead.

[diceman73]

on jump i was tryin to do that one for a long time and i got bored and just put one rocket and finished the lvl lol....

[Mikebert4]

I managed to get most of 'em done reasonably quickly, but getting the buggers to cost as little as possible is a nightmare. Hours wasted moving a single sheet of metal a pixel at a time... My gf has never forgiven me ^^

[rorocksall]

Awesome but what materials do you use for hill 2? Its really wierd!?!

[TheBlooperMan]

awesome vid and nice structures. you think outside the box

[SaiyanKirby]

Wow, you have to really think outside the box for this stuff... *Admires* But anyway, what's the song that starts playing at 7:15?

[iwantagoodnameplease]

It's YYZ bu Rush :)

[Oldatpka]

nice!

[joky0Venice]

god u need 2 be a smart ass todo these lvls :( im stock in see saw lol

[zaper151]

nice!

[Mikebert4]

I had to knock out a few levels because it was waay over 10 minutes, I might get round to posting them all at some point, but I'm waiting until I break 16k before I do that.. only $200 to go!

[Oldatpka]

9:40 is fucking sweet

[jwtguy]

very nice =)
