Make sure the new players are set to be drawn the same way as the first. If they're drawn from different points on the sprite, then having the same origins is actually the problem.

[Firing the bow at full strength into the wall can do it, too.]

Or use a bow at full power.

I haven't played XBLA, so I'm not sure if/how it's possible. On PC, though, if you're carrying an arrow and run quickly, you can stick it to the wall if you throw it hard enough. Then, you can grab onto it and hang there. Firing the bow at full strength into the wall can do it, too.

I always wonder why it's called 'cutempdump'

TOC named it cutempdump, which I interpret as cu (custom) temp (temporary) dump (poop).

The way TLS and Editor+ do it is to create a temp file with the game's data that's loaded when you retry. The file's supposed to vanish after it's not needed, but I think TOC missed a delete(file) line somewhere, as it can hang around even after the game is closed. You can also copy it and save it somewhere else if you don't want to lose it.

You have to set different views for custom rooms. I had to do it when I made the Custom Start Chamber for TLS, but it's been so long I can't remember how I did it. :S

I'm at the point where I just let it fall on my whip for the handful of moments it just hangs in midair. My timing is impeccable, so if I don't get it on the way down, I pretty much deserve its bouncy wrath.

I just whip them as they're falling. Why even wait 'til they hit the ground?

Spiders pause from time to time, but it's not for very long, or very often. It's best to stop them from ever hitting the floor in the first place.

There's actually a few things I'd like to update in TLS, but I am busy beyond belief (so what else is new, right???). It's hardly top priority, but you know I'll make it known when it happens!

@Nathan: Don't worry about fixing it; it's a small, non-fatal thing related to the Tunnel ManTrap and Meatmec.

I prefer methods that don't involve killing the shopkeeper, because I just can't get through when one's waiting at every exit for the rest of the game. Pots and skulls are the best pacifist weapons, but I always forget about them when it comes time to steal something. I usually only take really valuable items, and depending on the circumstances, I just grab it and run.

You can do it in the Create event of the room objects; in this case, oTitleScreen.

Having objects destroy themselves can create all kinds of unwanted problems. It might be easier in this case, but in general I'd say it's ill-advised.

Just put them in the same folder as regular Spelunky. Most of them use the same files as the original, so they have to be in the same place.

More like "if score is < X, instance create". It's easier to create objects rather than have them destroy themselves..
