Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-05-09 12:23:27


After some time I played primary in order to get remaining 3 medals (15,25 time trial and superhueman). I beat level 15 in less then 1:30 but I didn't get medal. Then I saw in game achievement menu that i already "got" that and superhueman medal. I tried cleaning cache but they reaper everytime I login and play game they reaper in game menu (difference is shown in picture below). Did anybody had a similar problem and who should I contact?

Yup, I did (check a few pages back)...it blows, and there's nothing you can do about it.
I PM'd the author, but got no response.I tried deleting and repasting the .sol file, but I failed.
So essentially we have to wait.

Weren't you prohibited to be in the list because of glitching medals?

No. There was a little bit of confusion a while back but that got cleared up pretty much immediately since I was/am innocent.

Has anybody tried creating a new account and seeing if they can earn the medals (probably want to use a new computer too)? That way we can figure out if the game is broken for everybody or if it's something happening to just you for some reason.

I did just that back then. After realizing that the bugs were account-related since playing the game on a brand new computer didn't help, I created a dummy account on my regular computer and everything worked just fine.

*curses lack of edit post option*

also, I played Primary the moment it was out, so it's not as if the author bugged the game with an update. The author also said back then that he had no idea what might have gone wrong since the medals did indeed work for most people. I doubt asking him again will lead to anything fruitful.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-05-09 15:15:03


Well I hope JackSmack and FrozenFire can take another look at it, because I've completed the game twice after the bug came in, so I want to be payed for my hard work.

Repasting it wouldn't work, you'd have to play the game with a new .sol file to get the medals, then repaste the original .sol file.

Erm, if I'd have to play the game with a new .sol file, why would I repaste it?
Also, doesn't really matter because after all, it's not .sol related.

What the fuck?This means that the game was bugged since day one and nobody did anything about it till now?This is bullshit...how can the problem be related with my account?
And even if there was a problem, since you can see your medals ingame, a simple "resend medals" button would fix everything....

I kind of assumed you'd only replay to the point the broken medals are at, and then replace it with the finished .sol file.

Also, unrelated, EON sent me back a message about CF2 not unlocking things you unlocked on other computers, and he said it's a known bug that he's working on. So that's very cool.

Also I just got Toliet King. I can wee on anything now!

But since I need some medals related to level 25, I'd need to replay pretty much the whole game...
Also, apparently it's not about the .sol, so that wouldn't work either.

Argh, how do people manage to get that?It takes forever, and the lag makes it annoying as hell....

You will get used to the lag and holding shift after level ten makes it quicker. But you must play it to around 30 so....

its going to take a day I guess

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-05-09 18:52:06


since no-one claimed the walkthrough's rights, i'll get right on it.
T-minus is one hour.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-05-09 19:18:31


By the way, here's a fact: my Primary achievements are not unlocking, not even in-game.
What I'm saying is that the achievements/medals are not working neither ingame nor on NG...
Which means, simply put, that the game has blocked my account for some reason...the authot should really fix this...

True, but the medals ingame are not the same as the medals on your account. I have ingame medals that are not on my account and I have medals on my account that do not appear ingame.

Indeed, me too, for that matter, but it's the first time that a game refuses to give me any medals ingame or in my account after working fine for a while.
Also, I forgot my ShellCore Command password after almost completing it....FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-05-10 07:01:53


*facepalm*..okay, that was stupid..my name wasn't "HeavyTank", it was just plain "Tank"...sigh.
Anyway, I managed to beat the game, but I still have an achievement score of ~15,000...exactly half of what I need for the 100 point achievement..thing is, nobody is giving me missions anymore, and killing enemies gives me...ONE point..
And starting a new game restarts my achievement score too I suppose...what do I do?

Apparently you have to attach a ton of parts to your shellcore and then complete the game - could never get it to work myself though.

Just keep making your ship bigger and bigger and bigger. You'll get the medal eventually. I personally like loading up on the speed boosts, then fire them all off at the same time.

Yes, I found that was the only way to travel :P. Having a ship that takes up 20% of the screen and having to move using the map.

Hey, anything that keeps me ahead of you in the medal standings is okay by me :D

Also, for Wee Express, I got 50,000 points on level 36. Stay intoxicated and time slows down in the game, which gives you more time to find anything you may have missed. I found a good strategy was to start a level with the bowl or lid, finish that completely, then do the two sides completely, then do the lid or bowl as appropriate, and just keep firing. When the last piece goes away the next level will show up, and you'll already have tons of "ammo" in the air to deal with it, so it's like getting a jumpstart on it.

Also also, you don't have to claim walkthroughs, just do them.

So, even after the end of the game, I get points for attaching stuff to the ship?Okay then...

Well, I'll get the last medal for Sally's Cats (beat 10 levels without getting touched) and the rest of the working medals for Valthirian Arc when I get the chance (AKA after finishing ShellCore)...I might give Toilet King a try, but I dunno...
ATM on NGlogs (which has the correct point total) 105 points are separating us...I'LL BE BACK!

Who would want to play the game again after getting the medals?
Also, it took a shitload of time, but I finally got the ShellCore Commander medal...now I'm only 75 points away from 40,000 (maybe I can manage to get exactly 40,000)...

After finishing up CF2 I'm exactly 60 away. I'd race you there, but most of the games I still have left to do either take forever or I'm bad at them. I think you'll get there first. Congratulations, BTW.

To get the time medals, i highly recommend letting the first guys go down to 1 second before you free them. I did that for the fist 8 or 9 waves (really hard if they spawn on opposite ends of the screen), and it felt easier to get the timing medals.
Also, be careful, I didn't get medals half the time when playing that game.
