Riddles

[Predcaliber]

Alright, I am starting creating some riddles, and this is the first one.
Download the map, and solve the riddle.


note and rules:

- this is a DM map, but set 0 bots. (I couldn't use a Vrikers or unreal SP game, cause there is no hammer in those)

- Only the startequipment is allowed! (Enforcer and Impact Hammer) no translocator!

- Be a good guy, and try to solve these riddles withouth cheating. (ghost/fly etc.)

Its all possible to solve it, trust me
If you know the solution, you can say you solved it, but please let other people take their turn too.

after a few days I will post a demo with the solution.





Alright, the first riddle, good luck :tup:

 

[NeoNite]

So, you're saying this is a Dm map.
Ok....
Then I assume you won't be needing an universal translator for the message on the wall, and the book?

What do you have to do? Escape the room?
Bit vague...

Is there a triggered message on screen?

 

[FieldMedic]

I solved it !! i solved it !!
I can't believe i solved it.

I died a very high number of time exploding myself with the hammer before by a complete luck and because i was out of ideas i tried what i tried

Very nice idea Predcaliber

No more words, my mouth is closed.

I ment with that actually that this is just a SP map, but it comes in DM form wich means that you have to set your bots to 0, or else you will get a ****load of telefrags.

Yes, if you had downloaded and played the map actually , than you would notice this:

 

[NeoNite]

Damn I don't even have to download the map to solve the riddle!
I'm pretty sure I know the answer :O)

Good job! :tup:
To be honest I could never expect that someone would solve this after 5 mins I posted this


<edit>

That will make it already two people in 5 mins then :tup:

 

[NeoNite]

Hey, but I'll still load the map in UT :O)

 

[Rob]

Solved in 1 minute (with luck though).

 

[Zur]

Solved in a few seconds but I already knew what to do .

 

[Predcaliber]

Alright, the second riddle.

For those who solved Riddle1, well done :tup:
If there are people who couldnt solve it, this is the solution:

Spoiler

Make sure the green book is lying under the hole, and then impact hammer on the book and you will jump very high.

Riddle 2, please tell me if you were able to make it to the second floor, or if even someone made it to the third (I did a few times, not impossible)

thank you! :tup:

 

[Zur]

I've managed to get to the second floor but I'm not quite sure of how to get to third. I'll think about it .

Edit : Managed to get to the third and opened the room with the "rewards".

P.S: How do you figure out all the physics in this ?

 

[Glider of chaos]

hm .... It was fun.
btw both riddles contain some bugs
first riddle: I managed 2 get stuck in the table %)
I broke the table but I was still hanging in the air %)

second riddle: I jumped while the lift was moving downwards & I've lost 91 health !

Spoiler

Predcaliber
Maybe U should make 4th floor ? with skaarj queen as a reward !
think about Impact-Lift-Jump

 

[FieldMedic]

About the first riddle

Spoiler

i was able to make it by simply using the alternate fire of the hammer on the book.
Very surprising, i never thought that using the alternate fire on the book would make you jump with the book itself (and so repeated usage of the hammer alternate on the flying book that is following you will make you to the 2nd floor)

About the second riddle
I made it to the second and the third floor , after cratering myself several time

Spoiler

Actually, it is more a "timing training" than a riddle
the second floor can be reach with a simple lift jump , and the third floor with a lift jump + hammer, (i even think a 4th floor can be reach with the most perfect hammer+lift jump timing) it reminds me of the very good PCGamer Olympic mod

Never thought you can go that high, funny riddle maps

, must have been difficult to find the good altitude for the other floors.

 

[Predcaliber]

very good guys! :tup:

Spoiler

you are right its more timing than a riddle, I originally wanted to make a level where the elevator doesnt seem important, but it didnt worked out well, so I tried to hide my lift.
well, you need to be an idiot if you cant find the lift , so I tried to make it a bit harder.

Btw, you can reach the 3th floor without a hammer, I didnt want to do something impossible with the IH, its very hard to time I think to be honest
And actually I wanted to put an SP gametype this time in the level, but I tought I would give too much away that you didnt need the hammer.

 

[Predcaliber]

For those who solved riddle 2 and made it to the 3th floor, Well done! :tup:
If you couldnt solve riddle 2, here is the solution:

Spoiler

You had to 'liftjump' with the hidden lift to the floors, floor 3 is even reach-able withouth an hammerjump

Alright Riddle 3, this one is a bit harder.
Plz tell me if you were able to enter the champion room

 

[FieldMedic]

He he, i made it.
It reminded me of a movie

Spoiler

there is a teleporter under the lave in the right and under the platform where you respawn that is missing his exit according to the error message that pop up.
It was by going to this broken teleporter there that i noticed the real exit

 

[NeoNite]

Btw: If you like riddles, try Tower of Shrakith'a

Especially level 3 has some nice riddles.

 

[Zur]

I did . I managed to get there after having a long think about it.

 

[MrBond]

Heh....interesting idea, turning UT into more of a puzzle. More thinking, more agility and skill with the controls.

Might be a cool fully-fledged mod idea. It depends very heavily on mapping, so it would be easier for one person to handle. I suppose you could use some code to restrict certain things.
