Pre-DLC Geomerging

evilvillager · February 16th, 2009

EDIT: Thanks to Crushric for giving me the elephant idea, I am proud to tell you that it is possible to geomerge an elephant. But it is not stable, it will move around, but it is still fun to watch and to me is definitely something new.
Btw, this thread used to be in the forge map section, so the format of my words and pictures looks like its advertising a map. I can change it if people need me to, to make the thread easier to understand and to get the point across faster.

Download Pre-DLC Geo
EDIT: I have updated the map, I thought it was worth it since it only has 1 download anyways. Now with objects already in place for you to geomerge the elephant yourself.

Both within 5 seconds of each other showing exactly how much this thing can move around.

The best shot I manged to get of the elephant being unstable/geomerged, I think it lasted about 5 or so seconds before it popped out onto solid ground.

A little thing, I found out. You can still flip an elephant even if its in the ground and you're really far away from it.

Eventually it popped out, but even then it was still a bit geomerged. (WAIT, correct me if I'm wrong, maybe sand is allowed to cover up the treads.)

END OF NEW THINGS

Old Map Description: This may be old, I don't know, but I just wanted to show you guys this. I had discovered this quite a while back, around April. But when I was browsing through Forgehub, I forgot whether it was the forge discussion or the customer service, but I remember there was a question about if geomerging was possible on Pre-DLC, and the majority of the answers, was no. So now I just wanna show this to possibly spark ideas into people's minds or to just show that Pre-DLC isn't un-forgeable.
Disclaimer: On the geomerged crate I had learned how to geo-merge in this thread. I wanted to see if it was possible to geo-merge something less "stable" or big as a container on Last Resort.

A geomerged box, contained with teleporters.

A geomerged barrier, a small section geomerged, but still something.

The back side of the geomerged barrier. As you can see the teleporters, I used them for keeping hold of the barrier incase it started moving.

Random uses of the geo-merged objects.

This is very nice. I love how you position the boxes and put them so neatly.

As much as I admire your forge a little bit, shouldn't this be in the Forge Discussion section? It can be here, but I believe it works best there because I predict that people will just download, check the map for about a minute, and just delete it.

Nice job anyways.

thats amazing. never thought you could geomerge non movable objects on old maps. its very neat and im gonna download and check it out

I am impressed, now all that is left to do with these is use them in a real map. wait, perhaps you can do the same with the elephant...hmmmmm

Crushric, I am here to tell you, that your little idea has given me much inspiration to try it out, and it has successfully worked.

Looks cool but...is the elephant actually stable enough to use in an actual map? Or is it just for the TA-DAH factor, like flipping it is?

(No offense but if you read,) the elephant is actually not stable at all. It will move around a lot, but most of the time it will be "geomerged/underground".

btw, this thread used to be in the forge map section, so the format of my words and pictures is somewhat more detailed and pretty long. I can change it if people need me to, to make the thread easier to understand and to get the point across faster.

even though the elephant moves around you still did a great job

yea i was just wondering if you could geo-merge into pre-dlc maps and people said no and this proves them wrong, also vary nice on finding this
