If you think cinematX might be the cause, you can comment out this line in LunaScriptsLib/mainV2.lua and your lunadll.lua file to prevent cinematX from being loaded into LunaLua's shared memory:

Code: Select all

cinematX = loadSharedAPI ("cinematX")

Make sure to remove/comment out any other cinematX-related code in your lunadll.lua file as well. Please let me know if this makes a difference or not over in this thread.[/size]

Probably worth considering: does swimming help the player get around easier, or would the maze be more convenient if you could run and jump normally? As well, ensure that there's a purpose to the maze/that it's interesting, rather than just wasting the player's time (that's probably a good way to lose some Fun points).

I'd get rid of the water or use minimal water, but it [the water] is kind of required to keep true to the theme.

Thanks... but I didn't need super complex ones. Just ones of their standard left and right walking animations. They won't be *playable* in my level. They'll just be hanging around and you can talk to them.

To be honest, I have absolutely no idea how LunaDLL, LunaLua, or CinematiX work, so I won't be using any of that stuff. I'm just aiming for some clever use of vanilla resources. Using Wohlstand's editor. Which is amazing. Ehem. Yes.

Cutscenes in a2xt have some basic walking animations and states for most characters. They are simple npc replacements and should be easy to use. You can use layers and events to switch between the different poses.
