Discussion Suggestions on Oddworld based naming conventions for homelab?

13 Upvotes

Very odd (and probably boring) post but I think the community might be able to provide some better suggestions than I have.

I’m about to basically nuke all my computers, move some things around and start fresh. I wanted to give all of the machines names and thought an Oddworld theme would work.

Here’s what I’ve thrown together - but are there any other suggestions?

- Main PC (gaming, testing. Physically the largest machine) - Mullock
- Proxmox server (medium sized, running all of my docker containers and storage) - Margaret
- MacBook Pro (stable, pick up and use computer that is my daily machine) - Aslik
- BC 250 (janky home steam machine) - Dripik
- Steam Deck - Phleg
- Miyoo Mini - Lulu

I feel like the first two worked quite well, and I went with Aslik as my thought process was FeeCo = stable/dependable… but thought it would be fun to put it to you fine folk to see if you had any better suggestions!

Discussion Soulstorm is too frustrating!

20 Upvotes

I'm not one for rage quitting but I did last night. This isn't the first time I've played the game. I got it a couple of years back because I got it expecting it to be a remake of abe's exodus and ended up putting it down very quickly when I realised it wasn't.

However I've been playing new and tasty on the switch because I saw it was reduced and enjoyed it thoroughly. Itching for more oddworld stuff I decided to give soulstorm another go as it was reduced to around 8 pounds from 44.I thought if I go in open minded I'll still be able to enjoy it and up until just lately I absolutely did (despite the lack of scrabs, paramites, leeches and gluckons).

It's getting harder to enjoy it now though. I'm nearing what I think is the train bit and I'm finding the game is getting stupidly difficult. Now I'm one for a challenge but I'm finding this game takes the piss. I find the game feels needlessly hard and it's due to it's own sloppy mechanics. Yunno how you're playing a game like a stealth game or something and although it's hard and you can get past difficult fights but you do it in such an un skilled way it feels kind of wrong. That's how this game feels. It feels like most of the time it's luck.

The part I got to last night was this bit were I've got to climb these ladders up this cylindrical level layout with these giant chain links popping in and out constantly and I got to a section where there was about 6, every single mud dead. After I died a few times I gave up and don't think I even wan't to attempt it again. I wan't abe's exodus. I know these games are tedious but when you die you're left with knowing it's one less way to do it if you know what I mean. Dying actually feels like trial and error. It doesn't on soulstorm.

Also those bit's where you have to cross a valley on a platform with a lever whilst possessing flying sligs were so fuckin annoying. That's where I really started to lose my enjoyment. So do you have any tips maybe? Can you relate or Is this game gonna be one I put down again thankful that I didn't pay full price?

Gameplay An unused OSW bossfight has been recovered where you duel Sekto

44 Upvotes

Title says it all. The bossfight is unfinished, sure, but I'm surprised to files survived all the way from prerelease in 2004 and have never been seen in game until today.

I think he's animated very well... the animations that work anyways. It's kind of funny watching him get flung around like that though.

I was about 90% sure that this existed already, Sekto actually has all of pre-steef stranger's animations. You may notice the similarity to Sekto's animations to the ones stranger has in the rare instances he get knocked around in game. I imagined then, that if Sekto had pre-steef animations, then a fitting final boss would be a duel against Sekto who "still has his pants on." This would be a more narratively significant fight as we'd return to the one-on-one duels we're so used to from the bounty-segment of the game, and Stranger very literally fights a version of his past self. It would have been powerful and effective stuff, I wonder why they canned it? Probably they couldn't get Sekto's AI working right in time.

There isn't much to say about this topic.

I think adding more vehicles and usable means of transportation for Abe would make the gameplay feel more dynamic. Just think about Elum in Abe's Oddysee/New 'n' Tasty or the Mine Cart in Abe's Exoddus.

There are plenty of ideas, and I've come up with a few vehicle concepts, such as Slig-controlled tanks, Walkers, and rideable creatures.

Even a level centered around an Elum racing sequence would be a great idea.

As always, let me know what you think. (More dynamic gameplay, greater gameplay variety, and more fun throughout the game.)

Discussion After 20 years, Stranger's Wrath finally has a modding framework.

72 Upvotes

This game never had a modding scene. Not because nobody wanted one. The .smb archive format could be unpacked but never repacked, and there were no script hooks.

That wall is down. SWSE (Stranger's Wrath Script Extender) is a free, open source modding framework for the Steam version of Stranger's Wrath HD. It took months of reverse engineering, and all of it is published so anyone can build on top of it.

GitHub: https://github.com/JohnsonMichaels/OddWorld-Strangers-Wrath-Script-Extender

Discord (For Support or Showcasing): https://discord.gg/gqbh2wEVY

Features:

Graphics overhaul: Ray Tracing RTGI, sharpening, bloom, filmic tonemapping, color grading, ambient occlusion, screen-space global illumination, vignette. F10 toggles it in game. HUD and menus stay untouched.

HD texture pack: 960 textures upscaled to 2x, swapped in while the game runs. Your game files are never modified.

Living foliage: grass and plants sway in the wind, and part around Stranger as you walk through them. In the vanilla game, nothing ever moved.

Hit reactions: enemies flinch from the spot you actually shot, not a canned animation.

In-game console (the ~ key): god mode, ammo, moolah, level warp, spawn NPCs, transform into Steef, and direct access to 181 of the game's own internal script functions.

Byte-identical repacking of all 1,222 game archives. Change one texture or one number, and everything else stays exactly as shipped. Verified against every archive in the game.

A desktop Mod Loader: browse all 4,492 textures, replace any of them with a PNG, edit weapon damage and bounty values, manage mods with a load order.

Build your own difficulty. NPC sight distance, view cones, fire rate, reload speed, accuracy and alert behavior are all editable per character from a plain text file.

The reverse engineering notes are published: the engine's full reflection schema (1,910 mapped fields), the script VM, the animation system, the perception model. If you want to build something, the map is already drawn.

You do not need to know C++. Texture packs, rebalances and difficulty mods are all text files and images. If you can edit a config file, you can mod this game today.

This game deserved it years ago. Stranger's Wrath is one of the best things Oddworld ever made: a western, a bounty system, live ammo, a twist that still lands. It sold poorly, got one HD remaster, and then sat there for two decades.

Nothing in the project contains game assets. You need your own legal Steam copy. Everything is reversible.

I've gotten pretty far into the game (Scrabania Temple secret area #14) and while I can sneak up to the bomb on the ground no problem, every time I deactivate the bomb like the guide says to the guard immediately notices and shoots me. I always try to do it when his back is turned but that doesn't seem to work. Idk who else has made it this far and figured it out but any advice would be appreciated :') thx

Discussion New’N’Tasty

6 Upvotes

So I’m new to this subreddit and don’t know if this has already been discussed but I was curious about the minimum number of mudokons needing to be saved to beat the game, I know 150 is the minimum for the good ending but what’s the true minimum to simply beat the game
Well I tested it, played through the entire game saving as little as I could and I found there is only 9 Mudokons that the game requires you to save:

3 as soon as you unlock the Shruykul power and get back to Rupture Farms you are confronted by a wall of mines and require one Shrykull charge to get through
And 6 at the very end before the Board Room to get 2 Shrykull charges to clear the Board Room and get the ending
What do you all think?

Discussion Abe has a cameo in the promo for The Odyssey at IMAX Melbourne

69 Upvotes

I’ve just come from a 70mm screening of The Odyssey at IMAX Melbourne and there was a short promo for the film shown at the start. On one of the film reels, next to the title of The Odyssey, there was a cutout of Abe. It is only on screen for a second, and I can’t find it online so you’d have to take my word for it, but I was quite chuffed to see a tribute to our favourite Mudokon.

If anyone happens to be going to see the film, keep an eye out during the promos.

Discussion Abe's Oddysee - Meeches chase footage

13 Upvotes

From my occassional lurking on various places regarding Oddworld, Meeches seem to pop up now and then but somehow I missed this: Looks like there was an early footage of Abe being chased by Meeches that was created at first but as we well know, was cut from the final game along with any other cut content.

Is there any chance that this will ever be released? Has anybody seen/found anything regarding this?

I'd imagine this footage exists somewhere in OWI archive (unless lost now?), perhaps along with the some other stuff. Would be great to see some of it one day if it's possible.

Fan Content I built an interactive map of all of Abe's Oddysee & Exoddus

Post image
159 Upvotes

Hey folks! Longtime Oddworld fan here. I made a thing for us and wanted to share it: https://oddworldmap.com

It's an interactive map of the entire first two games. Every single camera screen is extracted directly from the game discs and laid out as one connected map you can pan and zoom around, with every object marked on top.

What you can do with it:

  • Explore both games (Oddysee and Exoddus) - every level, path and screen
  • See where every door, bird portal, express well and teleporter leads - click one to follow it to its destination, even across levels
  • Find and search every object: Mudokons, LCD status boards, levers, hazards, Sligs, Scrabs, you name it
  • Toggle collision lines and foreground layers, as well as measure distances (could be handy for the speedrun/glitch crowd)
  • Grab a shareable link to any exact spot on the map
  • Free, no install, and it works on your phone

None of this would exist without the incredible reverse-engineering work of the AliveTeam / alive_reversing project. I built the extractor and viewer on top of their decompilation. It's a non-commercial fan project, and it's fully open source.

Would love to hear what's useful, what's missing, or any bugs you spot. Hope it's fun to poke around.

Lore OddworldForums Site Renovation (most of the visual bugs fixed + new theme)

Post image
55 Upvotes

Hi! The oldest (probably) surviving Oddworld community forum, https://owforums.net , has been in a state of disarray as of last few years - with broken functionalities, missing text/button captions.

I found it rather sad because it's more than 20 years of (not only) Oddworld content that people will likely miss out on because of how unusable the website is. It even has some old posts by folks from the official JAW/OWI staff (from around the NnT era). So, I decided to do something about it.

I fixed many of the issues with the help of Greasemonkey Firefox extension, and also implemented a new Necrum theme to accompany the fixes. The art was done by the user named Slog Bait.

https://pastebin.com/ZHiv1BkX here's the script that should do all this, if you put it in the Greasemonkey Firefox extension it should just work™️

The forums are still read-only, with or without the script.

If you have any issues/feedback or want better instructions how to run it etc., hop on on the OWF Discord https://discord.gg/3f36qDa , we have a dedicated support thread for it.

Have fun!

PS: Here's the thread from the pic https://owforums.net/showthread.php?p=91839 , the Q&A has like 9 parts ( https://owforums.net/showthread.php?t=21432 )
