Its glitched. It only activates on your 5th game play and your save game is probably larger than that. Delete your save game and do it again.
I'm not that desperate.

If its your last one, its worth doing. Pretty sure you can just start a game and refresh the browser 5 times. If not, you just have to save and reload 5 times.

You should be able to get the 'play 5 times' by just starting the game in any way (campaign, survival, custom map, etc) and then refreshing and repeating. Very simple.

Oh sorry, I misunderstood, thought ye meant deleting all ma achievements as well.
Dunno, pretty sure I played on several saved games over 5 times by now.. not sure where it counts that from.

Any ideas on why i don't get the 1000 arrows acheivment
I made sure i had a good connection and everything, but the in game achievment didn't even show up when i bought them. I have done it several times.

Thats really hindering my progress

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2009-09-28 17:39:45


It seems no one is having perfect success with this game's achievements. The last one had problems as well, yes?

If you are aiming to get 100% achievements you will have to delete your save game. And I mean your sol file.

The reason why it doesn't register is that if you earn achievements too fast and restart your game too fast, it will skip those numbers and save a larger number, like 6 times played in your files.

Thanks to our lovely Wyla.

http://wylina.newgrounds.com/news/post/2 85955

Q. How to delete save games?
A. Warning! Proceed at your own risk.
If you wish to delete your save game and there is no function in-game to delete it, you will have to delete it manually on your computer. Clearing the cache or your cookies will not clear your save game.

This method will delete all save games from games played on Newgrounds.
Go to the Adobe Flash Settings Manager site. Go to the "Website Storage Settings Panel" and scroll down to "uploads.ungrounded.net". Select it and press "Delete Website"

That deletes them all, though. And in that post, Wylette has volunteered to explain to you via PM how to delete a single SOL file. Thanks a bunch, Wylara.

Going back to Time Fcuk, a note from ThaBoob regarding the three 'rate so many levels' medals:

I THINK im going to change how this is done, but essentialy it works like this:

if you have voted on 3 or more levels, you get the first one,
if you have voted on 33 or more, you get the 2nd one
if you have voted on 333 or more, you get the third one.

This causes a bug that if you voted on 34 medals but for some weird reason you dont get the first medal, currently you are screwed. (so thats going to be what i fix).

The main problem though, is votes are not stored on the server, they are stored on your local computer (yes they are sent to the server, but thats not how the medals are kept track of). So if you vote on 100 maps, then go to another computer, and vote on 300, you wont get the final medal. I know thats a little rickedy, but its the best solution i can come up with.

In addition, the medal keeps track of what maps you have voted on, and you cant vote on the same map 2 times (and be counted for the medal *even on different days*). IE, playing map1 200 times on day 1, and 200 times on day 2, that only counts as 1 vote.

In conclusion, play on one computer, vote on 333 DIFFERENT maps, and the medal should be yours

-Will

So basically, it works as expected but only if you do different maps each time, and all from one computer. I hope this helps!


Deploy the... it's a yellow button... it's usually flashing... it makes the engines go... whoosh!

Ya.. That's why I just sit back and let someone else figure out all the glitches and problems first if there are any.. instead of racing to beat it and trying over and over and over again; only frustrating myself and making me hate a rather good game..

Though the original was better in my opinion.

Sorry for the double post but on a side note we have a new record for the longest amount of days (4 days) without having a new signature on the petition.. which just leads me to believe that the petition is dying and will soon sit idle and useless..

So if you guys could help bring it back to life by suggesting it to fellow Newgrounders or spread it across the forums to try to revive it that would be awesome. Else, I think the time for the petition to be shutdown may be coming soon. :(

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2009-09-29 10:19:55


Leave it open until you see a staff member speak directly about it. Why shut it down when it's just started?

80 percent help, 9 percent bitching, the rest is people like you bitching about bitching and not helping the thread at all.

What have you contributed in this thread in the past 200 pages? Oh that's right, nothing.

Sorry.

Well seeing as how 95% of those 'bitching' posts actually discuss a problem with a game, introduce a question concerning the game, or let people know about a glitch or issue in the game or with the medals, I don't really see a problem with them. 5% of them are useless, yes, but you'd notice in the other 95% if there weren't so many angry emoticons or exclamation points or caps locks that they actually hold useful information.

You can shut up and leave now, just so you know.

Did anyone notice when you break a million points in fig. 8 it goes down to 1000 then back up to a million.

I'm not even gonna go all CAPS on this post. I just beat MR2 and got all 170 achievements but the same four achievements are still bugged. I wasted over 15 hours on that stupid game and it turns out that it's BUGGED. I recommend not playing this game for most people and Krev's there's a 50 point difference from PROFESSIONAL and ALL ACHIEVEMENTS. I'm going back to bed.

yep, started the game by letting my health drop to well under half, and only used 1(one) health potion when i was just above empty. made sure i never wnet, or stayed anywhere near above 50% health. This sucks ass! When is NG going to crack down on this stuff? I'm not going to bitch about the unfairness of me not having an extra 100 points that i deserve. But seriously if they are going to allow medals they need to make sure they are full proof. I know its not Fulp or PG's fault, but they need to have a test system. Hell, make us beta testers. If someone wants to sumbit medals to their games they have to go thru us first.

Eggy I have never been so proud of you before. And I say we should follow through with this plan to leave the dirty work for us the 15 or 10 people who are dedicated. Off the top of my head coming from this thread I can think of Wylo, Krevs, Lizz, Eggy, OKJ (or whatever his name is), Unreak, and Caraboo. Oh and maybe even life... Anyways we should have an aura of our own (lol I get crazy ideas nowadays) like purple or Orange. Anyways I'm going to stop with this rant but if the aura thing doesn't follow through than we can always be just testers!
