Brinx, if Pontifex runs on your computer then Pontifex II should run as well, you will have to turn off options to get the speed up on a P3 450 though.

Josiah

Yeah the mdl files are just a format we created for Pontifex.  For Pontifex II we will probably use are own format again, but we have a program that converts from lightwave format that we could release.  It will be pretty easy to make your own models for decoration in the level, but vehicles require a physics model.  You could replace an existing vehicle model however.

We are working our fastest to get Pontifex II to you http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I will be in the Pontifex forum getting the beta started and to communicate with the beta testers.

Josiah

Everyone here at Chronic Logic has seen Dave play and can vouch for his scores, they are real.

Josiah

I have been wanting to set up a forum for triptych scores that anyone can post on not just Pontifex owners, that would help get more people on it.  The only problem is that to set up a forum we have to have our web host change settings which usually results in the whole web page going down cause they managed to mess something up, it happens every time.  So I am hesitant to do it.

Josiah

PS I will get the Offical CL triptych player to start posting his scores here, wait tell you see his ultra easy scores.

The Evil ones have unstrapped me from my Tryptic-playing seat for a few minuts so I Thoght I would post my new high score:
Ultra Easy: PTs 40,261,425   LVL: 67 BOnus :36400

THey say thell set me free once I reach a bonus of 40,000,  But I found found this task to be somewhat challenging.

My Tip for those of you who hope to reach these higher levels: BE the BLocks!!

PS If anyone knows how to poast a screen shot on this page I will gladly poast the proof of my ridiculusly high score.

Dave the Official Chronic Logic Triptych player

Wow you found that, nice job, that was not an eazy thing to discover.

Josiah

tchenz is correct, its takes a lot less blocks to get the bonus awards on the more difficult levels.  So one expert you need a lot less blocks to get the good combo then on easy.

Josiah

The Combos are based on the number of blocks you energize with out losing your bonus.

Josiah
Chronic Logic

Here are the combo numbers for expert mode:

10+ blocks on Good Combo
20+ blocks is a Great Combo
40+ blocks is an Super Combo
60+ blocks is a Excellent Combo
80+ blocks is a Mega Combo
100+  blocks is a Elite Combo
120+ blocks is a Roy Sowyers Combo

Hard mode is twice the blocks, medium is times 3 and easy it times 4 (40,80,160,240,320,400,480).

Josiah

We will try and figure out an easy solution for the problems for colorblind people.  We thought of most of your ideas grey, but did not have time to implement them.  Did all of you who tried the demo get to the level 3 limit?

Josiah

Ya i guess it should be under records or something http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Josiah

Yes they have to do more then just touch, they have to be in a certain proximity to each other, smashing em together always helps http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>  If anyone has any high scores, lets post em here, i would like to see what people can get, we have been playing this a bunch and have some pretty good scores.
