@hlooomxd I'm not sure lol, I got the writing/text in the book from Google Images. I was looking for something that matched the writings of the original Mario Party version

Hello, I have a question: What language is the book in?

Is she upset about something?

Oooh alright good to know, thanks! Didn't think about that. Thanks for the thorough answer.
Yeah barely managed to convince 2 friends to play so like I'm mostly stuck with bots to try new stuff :(
Hope I can get them to play again soon (and I'll be able to play that minigame for real when we do).

--- (part 2) In reality, you would've kept going with the game if you weren't the last survivor. Game 1 went beyond the first page because both you *and the bot* survived the first page. Then he got squished by the second page and you despawned because the round is over, but if the bot survived then you would've fit through that corner hole you were at.

Most minigame mods on the Workshop are best played with other players and not bots, as most of the creative minigames people come up with aren't understood by the bots' code unless it's something the bot is already coded for (shooter minigames for example). If you played with other players (or at least with a lucky bot who survives a while like I did), you'd progress longer in the minigame because you'd have more than one person surviving the first page.

@Lykrast That's not a glitch - all the bots are just dying immediately because they're bots lol (and there's really no way to code them to play unique, modded minigames like the devs do for official minigames). Usually in Pummel Party minigames, the round/game will forcibly end if everyone dies but one. If you look at each game in the video, you got 1st Place each time because you're a human who understands that they gotta fit through the holes in each page to live. The bots just run in circles and (usually) die on the first page, leaving only you alive and thus the minigame is forced to end. I looked at the footage and while it may look like you sometimes died when you would clearly fit through a hole, it's just because all the bots died first and therefore you won. All living player bodies despawn when the bell rings and the game ends, but dead player ragdolls don't, which I guess can make it look like you died. ---

It wasn't streamed, it was on local. I recorded a few minutes to at least show what it looks like here: https://youtu.be/kSgMV016I7U
Surprisingly I and some bots got through the first page on the first try, but then nobody got through any page after that for 4 booksquirms (then I stopped recording).
Haven't tried removing other mods yet, will try to do that when I get more time

@Lykrast Not sure if it's a hosting issue maybe, as I remember it was reported that some other mods had issues with some Logic functions not working only for players streaming the mod from the host, and not the host himself. I've played it with 3 friends and there wasn't any issue, and I also wasn't able to replicate the issue that NinjaL1nk had when he first reported it.

I just tried playing it again and there was no issue. I made sure to go through the circle shape too like you did. One of the bots survived up to the 4th page and he went through the circle as well.
Lykrast 25 Nov, 2023 @ 3:21pm 
Don't know why but of all 4 times I got it solo with bots we all died on the first page when trying to get through the circle. Haven't tried with other people, but sounds like what NinjaL1nk experienced.

@Patriotz thanks! The minigame was a pain in the ass to code tho with the Logic functions because of all the moving parts involved with making the pages, queueing up the next page, removing the last page once it falls down, speeding up pages, and preventing any overlap once that process starts going. The original Mario Party minigame actually went to 99 pages but stopped when there was only one left, but there are some limitations with the Pummel Party editor that prevented me from doing something similar, so I opted for a timer with fewer pages

Awesome, one of my favorite minigame ! Big thanks for bringing it to pummel :)

could you do an hardore version ? Like one round but going faster until there's only one left
Blackrew  [author] 27 Apr, 2023 @ 2:47pm 
@NinjaL1nk I checked it out in the editor and still found no problems with it. There have been some general bugs with the editor overall that I can't fix because it's a problem with the game itself currently (there were some recent bugs with On Hit triggers for people who weren't hosting the lobby, for example), so perhaps it's something like that? Although with 20k+ subscribers, someone else should've reported it too by now if that was the case.

@Blackrew It happened both time we attempted to play. I stood under the circle in the front and died before the page got 1/4 of the way down. We did play with AI and it also failed to make it through despite being in the middle of its chosen space.
Blackrew  [author] 20 Apr, 2023 @ 11:08pm 
@NinjaL1nk I'm not sure why that is. I just tested it in-game multiple times and I made it through the first round just fine. The AI did too (although idk how that would matter).
Did your glitch happen multiple times or just during one game?
NinjaL1nk 19 Apr, 2023 @ 9:46pm 
For some reason even when my group and I stand in the middle of a shape we all still die instantly on the first round. Not really sure why that is.

I couldn't get it to work but i found a away around it until i can!

Just wanna say thank you because your mods inspired me to make more mods for this game, i would love if you checked them out but keep up the great work man!

I tried a similar one and it was not that great. This one is looking amazing and it's very clear what to do from the start.
Blackrew  [author] 21 Jan, 2023 @ 2:05am 
@Paperanchor The pages speed up slightly but it was difficult to add lots of speed changes/stages because the editor bugged out with my initial method that would've been much easier. So I had to resort to a more crude method that ended up being very time-consuming to set up each time I adjusted the page speed.
Blackrew  [author] 21 Jan, 2023 @ 2:04am 
@MrMUZK Thanks! The picture links in the description were uploaded to Imgur and then had a link attached to them in the Steam description by putting the Imgur link inside a /url function in the description (I can't put the code in here because Steam turns it into a link lol). But Steam has a page for formatting help and that's where I figured out how to do it.
Paperanchor 20 Jan, 2023 @ 11:18pm 
Very smooth and fun. Maybe have people get points overtime. Also I would recommend having the pages speed up as it progresses to make it harder.
MrMUZK 20 Jan, 2023 @ 8:36pm 
quick question:

1. Amazing mini game and so closely made to the original

2. How did you do those pictures with links lmao

Looks awesome 👌
