Proper Use of the Budget Glitch

[kayaman132]

Forward:
Recently a lot of people have asked me for help with budget glitch. (also known as the infinite money glitch) And so instead of having to help each and every one of them, I decided to make a thread about the glitch. ALL ABOUT IT.

1. Applying the glitch
Okay, so you think the map you wanna make is going to exceed the budget limit. What are you going to do? Why use the budget glitch of course.

Applying the glitch yourself:
1. Spawn 1 of every item
2. Set the "runtime maximum" to 1 higher then the amount placed on the map
3. On maps like Foundry and Sandtrap, you'll need to save & end few times to change all of the runtimes. This is because when you start the game the budget will be as if the runtimes weren't set, but as soon as you spawn, delete, or change the runtime of an item it reverts back.

Alternatively you can download an already glitched version of any map.

2. Using the Glitch
You may notice when using the budget glitch that you won't be able to spawn any more items even through you still have some left, this may be caused one of many things, don't fret I have the solution.

When you try to spawn an item it says, "Cannot spawn item too many on map"

Your'e getting this messege because you have hit the item limit, here's a way to solve that problem

Once you start to have a lot of objects on your map, start to save and quit often, if you need to perfect the angle of some floating objects while doing this, it'd be a good time to do so. As you get near the completition of your map, start to delete any object you know for sure you'll never use. If you save and quit/delete enough, each object deleted should allow you to place about 10-20 new objects after saving and quiting, so long as you are careful not to run in to the item limit. You must save very often, and count the objects placed after each save, if you run into the item limit, end the game. Now, your going to have to go back in and place one less object then you did last time, delete one object you don't need, and then save and quit. Now you'll be able to place more objects.

When you can't spawn 1 particular item

This will happen if, YOU FORGE WITH SOMEONE ELSE AND THE HOST SWITCHES OR LEAVES or,
if you spawn the maximum of an item, and DELETE ANY OF THAT ITEM EVER. But to fix the problem,
1. Save & restart the game
2. Change the runtime to 1 higher then the amount placed on the map
If you don't have enough money at the start of the new game, you'll have to delete any item to change the runtime.



3. When your map is done
You may notice that while the money glitch is applied that weapons and destructible items respawn faster then normal and an extra one will spawn.
This can be a real problem, and can completely break a map. Since the runtime is set 1 higher, the game says that an extra one of that item can spawn.
What i suggest is that you save 2 versions of your map.
The first would be the publishing version
and the second would be your editor version.
For the publishing version, delete all the extra budget glitch items, and
change the runtime maximums of all the item back to normal.
For the editor version, just leave the budget glitch on, and use it if you need to make a second version like a 1.1 or something like that.


4. Review

1. Download Money Canvas Glitch Maps
2. Try not forge with some else while using the glitch
3. NEVER DELETE AN ITEM IF YOU'VE MADE THE MAXIMUM OF IT.
4. Save 2 versions of your map, 1 for publishing, 1 for editing.

That's helpful, the part about hitting the item limit is a little confusing, but this will probably help people who don't know anything about the glitch.

I've never had a problem with an extra item spawning though, that's weird.
+ repped. =)

you can't have a partner on money glitch? dang it. oh yeah thanks for money glitching Avalanche so well

[Nemihara]

Hey, you stole the 'how to fix a budget glitch' from me! You even posted in my thread before!

[Tex]

thanks for the tut, unfortunately, this is a little late for me, but this will be helpful for many forgers to come...

the save 2 versions part is actually quite crucial, 1 for publish, 1 for editing, because that is the one that i didn't do before, but did most recently, and the difference is huge in the maps..

I posted it first.

That method doesn't work 100% of the time. Sometimes, it'll be too much into the glitch that it'll already say $0 upon entering. So with my method, it's more explained.

Plus, I didn't see yours, 'kay? While you did.

Wah.

[kayaman132]

If you don't have enough money at the start of the new game, you'll have to delete any item to change the runtime.

I hate you so much, Kaya. Whatever, you weren't popular back then, so nobody paid attention. ; P

[Mallet]

Err.. You didn't really state that once the full amount of a particular object are placed they should not be deleted. Thats like, the most important thing to remember right?

Unless i missed it in your post, tis rather late.

Nice work otherwise

edit: Ok you did I'm stupid, but i still think you should elaborate the point a little or something =S
