true

No not really but thats just me

its a spooky mounth!

Lunk no man

Game is definitely ready for both players to go the worm (obviously at the same time) and if you dont go through the door at the same time once then the glitch is fixed

Ok, but how would the black market/ castle/ mothership/ city of gold/hell work with this?

I mean, could you get a wet fur ulmechs lair?

This comment is 6 years old and the oldest reply is 10 months, I wonder if he ever even saw these. Or if he’s still alive

The smell of hamburgers and gunpowder?

Oh god no.

dark ice caves would be harder than hell

This glitch doomed us all

dark hell. oh sweet jesus no.

Well thats gotta be very hard

ik you spelled wet fur wrong but wet foot

@@waffles4670 feet 🥵

CoolHandFlash yes

when hell freezes over

according to the description, no, tho i havent tried

It is now possible in single player spelunky

Thinking the same thing

I'm here

I'm here

Now 6 years old, Spelunky HD will never die!

Oh, seven actually.

@@kirbobirbo0446 the spelunky magic keeps us all coming back

This also makes me curious if you can toggle level flags anywhere with a mod or something, and what that would do. Say wet fur in the mines or something City of gold somewhere that isn't city of gold, assuming city of gold is a level feeling

I watched some normal multiplayer footage In this game any of the players may exit, that player goes into door-entering animation, then after a small amount of time all players go to level-transition screen without waiting for anyone. Here all players enter on same frame. Game still does the door-entering animation and outro animation but skips level transition, goes straight to next level intro. . It is unlikely to be a threading race condition since all game mechanics probably run in a single thread - there is no reason to run each hotseat player in a thread for such a "simple" game - it would only add a lot of complexity for no good reason. Furthermore, threading race conditions on PCs or modern consoles are very hard to replicate exactly - which is why they are so hard to debug - it would not be consistent even for a TAS, let alone human, let alone every single time, multiple times in a row. . Probably what happens is: main mechanics loop checks level-exiting condition for each player in a loop, and does not actually stop the loop when it was reached, just sets a flag, but then it does that again for a second player. That is why it was fixed so quickly and never reappeared. . The question is - what exactly could have gone wrong and why? . It could be anything but my idea is something like this: First player's level-exit routine sets global game state (title screen/gameplay/...) to "intermission". This probably also increments level number. Now second player attempts to end level. I believe this does check for current game state, otherwise either level counter would be incremented again or it would not increment at all - we would skip a level or restart it. Instead I guess game reuses same function to end any game state so it thinks that the second player commanded to end intermission and start level. . *Perhaps some information is set in the intermission - possibly because the intermission needs to show level results before clearing them - but new level id is set in the level-exit routine because it needs to remember if a secret exit was taken or not* It would make sense to have a single function that resets all counters for new level and generates random parameters - just to keep everything in one place. Such function(s) should both generate level feeling and reset collected loot counters. Level seed probably just carries over, and is not modified, instead level generation rule differences make same seed behave differently - it would make sense for daily challanges to only need a single seed, not one per level. Actual level generation probably happens upon starting the level itself - it would make sense since not all levels start with level transition, and it needs to set actor states that don't necessarily exist or initialized outside of actual game loop state. . The "wet fur" feeling generates wrong-themed tiles because it is supposed to add more platforms to an already-generated level, and game never expects such level to be anything but ice caves one. So it places ice tiles on top of any terrain. This may mess up bosses if developers didn't check for that specifically. Restless dead and snake pit should be better integrated into the level since there it apparently does more checks. . If I'm correct, the following should be true: Level features that may or may not appear on a level such as locked chest, black market door, possibly worm and mothership entrance, will generate the same way they generated on a first level where the glitch was performed consecutively, even if it makes no sense. Existence (or possibility) of some rooms such as shops, altars, golden idols may also be replicated from the last non-glitched level (or they may never appear at all). The rooms may be skipped if there is no space for them at the time they are being generated. Some special level features such as bosses and alternative exits may not generate correctly or at all. if level is exited normally after glitched level transition, loot collected in every level before the normal transition should be displayed. If the damsel was saved in ANY of the glitched levels, damsel should appear on level transition and would likely increment health. Next level should generate as normal. Entering secret levels should work correctly, however there may be problems with cutscenes. Winning the game screen will probably be skipped, along with high-scores if they are recorded in multiplayer. Unlocked characters may or may not persist. Players will probably be dumped in the menu as normal. . I'm very curious what could have happened if there were exactly THREE players - If I'm correct it would most likely either crash or play intermission skipping one level and possibly duplicating last level results (as in - saving damsel or not, collected loot displayed onscreen...). . Wow, this was quite an essay that no-one will ever read!

@@jwhite5008 I read it and as a gamedev I find this extremely interesting. Thanks!

Jack White why did you waste your time making that comment lol

Well, with bookskip.... now.... heh

It looks like it stops the game from clearing stage flags. I.e, mines 2, 3, or 4 might be flagged as 'Udjat eye'. And then with this glitch, that flag stays on for all subsequent levels, and the Udjat eye continues to spawn. And if you hit restless dead or wet fur, that gets persisted across levels too. The reason the snake pit doesn't carry over, is because that is dependent on the a certain configuration of tiles being picked in level generation, ( tinysubversions.com/spelunkyGen/ ) not from a flag being set. So If shopkeeper grudges were modelled in the same way, then yeah, it could carry over. But shopkeeper grudges carry over anyway, so...

This is still me but I can barely make to the ice caves

You forgot you commented on this vid didn't u?

@@livingwater25 lol It's possible

ah frick im late

@@livingwater25 yep

Probably gives priority to whoever holds the flag

Well, would you look at that.

wait what? how did you do it

@@medro04 there's 2 ways to do this from what i've tested. 1. lag the game out with a bomb spam and while the bombs explode enter the door and open your select menu while the animation ends resulting in a forced overload. 2. get a second controller/player and as the both of you enter the door open the select menu as you both enter while the animation ends resulting in some frames being skipped ending with hybrid levels. prove me wrong, it's really hard to do but it's possible!

Half a decade still not out

Same.
