I know people have tried - and failed - forking their stories.

The closest I've got is
Where NumNext as 2:3 of level one gives me level 1 and 2 as forks, while 3:4 gives me level 3 and 5 as forks.

2:3 =
(Please not how they are all dislocated. 2 gets the XY of 2, 1 gets the XY of 3.)


3:4 =
(Here I think 3 gets the XY of 3, while 5 gets the XY of 4. =\)

Any suggestions? I will continue tinker and play around a bit more. =)


EDIT: 3:2 gives me level one and level 3 in the locations of 2 and 3 respectively.
2:2 gives level 1 and 2 at same location, et cetera.

I do believe that if you figure this out you could go down in the lugaru hall of fame.

Uh, thanks, I guess. =P
But this is quite some nut to crack. It seems the only stable number is that of the first listed. I believe Silb or somebody had a go at it some time ago, but he never stated how much he figured out.

It seems it does indeed get somewhat still impredictably, but stably confused after that first :.

The thing is ...

I thinks is the same as Notice how LocationZ is entirely imaginary, and could be anything. Bonestew, for an example.

Same reason it goes crazy if you do not provide a second number: It takes it from the next setting; LocationX, looking for a level with often a crazy high number.
EDIT: Err. Or not.

EDIT: Sorry for double-posting.

Again, sorry for tripple-posting, but it seems it now works. The only thing that does not get inherited by the second, third, etc. levels, is the name of the level. The level should load and work, but anything after, inherits the name of the first level. This, I find odd.

EDIT: I take that back. Sorry. Levels following a fork are not possible to finish.

EDIT 2: Here's what happens:

Have you tried it with wrong numbers?

Yes. Too high, or any other unfamiliar numbers, or letters, or signs, causes the clicky-icons to all gather at the maps very first pixel; 0,0. That is also a good indicator that you have missed something, and there's something wrong in your campaign file. =/

I would guess that it just doesn't work. Not all of the features do.

Yeah, I do agree, but it's worth trying, and getting the facts straight, at least. Or even figure out what's going wrong, and so try to patch it (which I cannot do =P)

Definitely. Unfortunately I can't contribute to any fixing..don't know much about coding.

As far as I know, the main bug with the non-linearity is that Lugaru takes all your choices into account with a delay of one level.

Say the player has just beaten some level after choosing option 2 from 2 possible levels, and he is now presented with a new choice of 2 possible next levels. No matter what he picks, once he beats the next level, the game will behave as if he had picked option 2 just now (and not the previous time).

I don't think this: will ever work.

If you're tricky though you can get this for example: in such a way that if the player picks 2, then only 4 will be available from level Bonestew, while if he picked 3, only 5 will be available from Bonestew.

I like how there are some unreleased levels 'nuk1', nuk2 etc up there.

I know way too much about this game.

But on the internet that makes you cool!

I am utterly confused.
