map saver or something that something that saves holes dug


Just some ideas

[Freddy]

w00t! 9th!

wait 27 martian days.
my time flys. I didnt even se that go by.

[ScientistBlah]

How do you save? Lol, I'm so addicted but I have to go to bed soon.
Edit:Nevermind, figured it out.

[Liokae]

The flying robot on the surface lets you save.

[ndis4us]

Well I did something while talking on yahoo.. hit help since thers no pause and when i clicked the x after typing it I got the Cheater with the skull! I didnt do anyhting to deserfve it and have no benifits!

EDIT: Found P is pause but still I think thers a glitch.

[Danny]

Its a bug, we are working on it now.

[kevinok]

Yes I spent way to much time playing this game in beta.

[ndis4us]

K so when its fixed are they gonna be reset so I didnt cheat or no? If not Ill just play this till it gets fixed.

[Alexar]

Oh yeah! It finally came out! But it's almost time for me to go to sleep, ugh.

[MercuryLime]

Yay, awesome.

Note to Danny: You fly around a heck of a lot faster at the beginning than in the beta... I think.

[boneytooo]

how do you save

[Afterburner]

Fly into the robot.

[boneytooo]

WOW!! this game is so COOL!

[FreagaZ]

Create an account in the forums.

[Alexar]

Create an account on the forums and use it to save. It kinda reminds me of Cinderfall.............
*looks up* *looks down* Nah.

[MercuryLime]

I like the saving feature a lot.

[Sinkman34]

Very cool game. I wish it was less laggy though. Otherwise no problems.

[MercuryLime]

Turn down the quality for less lag.

[Knilt]

You can lower the quality? How? It's already low anyways so how can you make it better?

[MercuryLime]

Mine starts out on high - It might auto - adjust.

[unicycler]

One more problem that I see, The highscore list doesn't show money.

[Knilt]

Mine starts out on high - It might auto - adjust.
Yeah, it auto adjusts. I know that already, but that's not what I mean. I'm saying, is there a way you can make it stay high? What about low?

[MercuryLime]

I'm not sure...

The highscores do so show money!

[Knilt]

I think he means that every highscore entry has $0.

[ToonLink]

this game is awesome!

[MercuryLime]

That means they've beaten the game.

[Inuyasha99927]

HOORAY! great game guys! I do nothing more than play that... Hey... Maybe now we can start on srpg2, eh?

[Homer43]

cinderfall first i think

[Alter of Shadows]

I'm having problems with the saving/loading too.

[darakna]

fix the save /load option and maiby you kan mack a download verson of this game, whit a save option that works

[Hodge]

Great game

[thoog]

i cant get it to work (motherload)

[alanhahn]

I am addicted to this game and I want to play, but for some reason it wont work, is something wrong with your server?

[XTTX]

http://server01.xgenstudios.com/play/motherload

[regizard]

I can't save my game... haven't you fixed that yet?

Could you make a DOWNLOADABLE version?

[123mom321]

it says undefined eech time i try to save! :evil:

[regizard]

I get the same thing, 123mom321.. i HATE it..

[minebeaver]

erm, guys? can't you, like, enjoy a game, be grateful to its makers who did one hell of a good job at it, and not complain without a single word of approval?

After all, this is one of the best online (browser) games I have ever seen, and it will be hard to surpass. it seems positively realistic (within the given borders, naturally), and the bugs are annoying, but absolutely bearable. I hope there'll be a future version some time, possibly in 3D? Things like the static of the caves and transport of rubble and fresh air could be integrated, but I guess that goes far over the borders of browser gaming... I think I'll keep that idea in mind for a future project of my own :)

thx to the XGen team for providing such a brilliant game!

[Dj Eclipse]

http://server01.xgenstudios.com/play/motherload

Seems to be working.... thanks!

[regizard]

minebeaver: I think it's good too, and now that I can save my game I can't load it.. damn

Getting the #1 item iz good, but not being able to load the file where you got it is.. well.. not that good :\

[HoDC_Browner85]

Is there something special i have to do to get the undefined thing to go away, because....well...id like to save my game

[adidas051]

found a glitch i have 9x satan's head

[DrMontigo]

Hmm... any way I can buy this game so I can play it without being on the internet?

[Cruel_blood]

I died... i got stuck in a chunk of dirt and couldent move. :x
Damn bug

[swedenrobba]

I can´t load my saved game i tried many times... when does it work???

[Alter of Shadows]

I can´t load my saved game i tried many times... when does it work???

I have the same problem now. Before I couldn't save, now I can but I can't load. If there's anyway to fix this I'd love to know.

[summersx49t]

like this very nice game, but save game feature buggy. new account registrations return an error. please fix.

[justin_hehe]

it's a fun game.

[willow]

Putting "server01" in fromt of the adress is said to solve that problem. I don't have one myself. Check some of the 5,676,836 threads on the subject.

[Dondi]

" Undefined "

[Retry]..[Cancel]


when saving...=\...

[Alter of Shadows]

Edit: Nevermind

[TwoToGo]

I love the game, but I wish there was a confirmation box when you click "Quit". I accidentally exited the game without saving a number of times, so that pop-up that you get on most games would have been useful. But I'm really enjoying playing it! :D [/code]

[Kadin]

Amen TwoToGo! I don't know how much time I've lost by accidentally clicking QUIT instead of X. It doesn't help that the former is bigger and hence what your eye directs you to first. >.<

[xsoad624x1]

THis game is awesome but i still cant beat it! im so close

[Draco88]

This has to be the most addicting game out there, if I could buy this game I would, just to make sure that my game is always saved on my computer. I just looked at the high scores, i guess I don't have a high score after all, I thought I would be near the top, but I must have stumbled over this game alot later than the others who play this. Great game, keep up the good work Xgen studio.

Draco88

[RBpunk2]

want more games than just Motherload, check out www.mattguerrero.tk

[nickpoore]

AWESOME Game.

Suggestions.
Auto-fuel - so I don't have to use the mouse EVERY time I come back to the surface. How about a toggle for this under game options.
Auto-Sell - Again, so I don't have to use the mouse every time.

Great game, great game.

(Oh, and how about a downloadable version, with better save?)

[grgcsmc]

[Gigerslasher]

I wish there was a way to some sort of mining race versus an computer or a member

[joe_ensoll]

[mobiusace1]

:x ahhhhhhhh i had finnaly got like 15 dimonds and i was gonna get 1 last mineral and i blew up becasue of those gas pocket things i died becasue of them burn thy gas burn burn burn it

[Hijacker27]

that's what a radiator is for...

[jazzybloo]

I just had to post that i abousloutly LOVE this game.. thanks for making it!

[b00tz]

Whaaaah... I was doing great... Then a darn gas pocket got me... I had like 2 diamonds and a ton of other stuff... Which is alot for me...

[jman9444]

I found a glitch! I play for 15 minutes and then all i see is my pod! Can someone help me? Oh yeah, THIS GAME IS EXCELLENT!!!!!! :D

[kocdorian]

no comment, this is ####ing awesome, i never saw a good online game like that. just awesome!!!!!!!

[Azmilion]

this is a really good game. very addicting 2
but i have a suggestion.(who doesn't)
how about a building with a mineshaft in the middle of it that starts at a lenght of about 300 feet and when you pay 1000 it gets 100 or 200 feet longer but it can't get longer than 3000/3500 feet?

[upchuck55]

^ Whoa... confusing. anyway. If this is the way xgen is heading, count
me in! I think this is the best game on the net.

[DarkWhistle]

FAR better than any flash game I've played on the internet. The highscore table/SAVING is probably better though!

[DouglasPHill]

I apologize if this message is in the wrong place. I have two computers, one connected to the Internet, one not. How can I copy this game to the computer not connected to the Internet? I tried copying all of the cache files, but that did not work. Can you email me the flash file so I can copy it to the other computer's hard disk?

Thanks

[cutman342]

Ummm I think that that's illegal. Just buy the CD.

[scurvy_1_3_5]

How do u defeat the hell dude (the guy at the very bottom)

[scurvy_1_3_5]

You know as i read these posts i think how stupid these people are.
There is an easy way to survive the gas pockets, just upgrade your hull.
right now(after 5 hours of playing) i have ALL the upgrades. Now all the money is only useful for the bombs and reserve feul tanks and matter tranfers.
the easiest way to get to the very bottom it seems is to just dig 1 straight shute. That devil dude is hard. i can't fugure how to beat him. help!!!!

The game is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!!.

[TheJewArmy]

When i beat the boss and played on the harder level, some trasmition pops up every second and wont stop. WTF?

[The Brown Cow]

Make sure you have Flash Player 7: http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash

The glitch happens when you run Motherload in Flash Player 6.

[kaito-kid]

I`m German so don`t wonder about my bad English please :wink:

I`m really faszinated of this game... It`s very good :D
I LOVE this game :lol: so a BIG THANK for it

Best wishes

[tiritaka]

well, well, well...the return of the prodigal son.....or not so much.....I just came back from my grave to say that motherload is a really nice game....I'll enjoy playing it while I wait for srpg2!!!!!
good job guys.....
ps:i like the changes in the forum, like the x-cash thing....

[Master_Chief_Spartan_117]

what the HecK!!!!! I was playing the second boss, then my ship exploded, but i didnt die. i could move around and crud, but i couldn't kill the boss cause it said I was dead

[mbm_670]

didnt happen to me, though something similar happened. i had 0 hp left, but i used the nanos just in time. my hull meter was white, and stayed white. i just used 2 nanos each time he hit me. after all, i brought 1000 along with me.

[Locolan]

Yeah, the game rocks, whoo- hoo. No, really I agree, it's thee best (browser) game on the internet. Ever.

[mbm_670]

tue, true, very true...
till srpg2 comes out.
then ill be the judge of that.

[Blixinator]

This is a fun game

[Jojoe]

This game was really funny.. but I can only play it when I'm in school.. :(

[dunno88]

Motherload is finished! Hit the link on the main page to play it.

Have Fun :)

ok thnx but i have only one simple question: Can you drill further than 6000 or is it the bottom??

[Sperry]

Seven posts in a row???? aaah! please, read the rules now and make different statements and apologies for some of those! you can dig further than 6000ft, just not safely.

[warbird106]

Danny, you might as well put all the cheats down, because another guy has posted them.

[bobkennedy]

everyone asking how to save
all you gotta do is fly in betwwen the junk store and that other store on the right and there is a flying robot float in front of the flying thing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
wow xgen amazing game that is fantastic i am addicted and it is good that the ground pattern changes every time you play

[Rizado Man]

i have 2 questions...
what are the cheats?
how far down is the boss, about...?

im stuck at 5000ft, i keep getting natural gas explosions and then i have to resurface cuz i dont want to buy nano-thingies...

[Sperry]

You will; beyond any doubt; need nanobots if you make your descent to the boss. Seeing as if he hits you but a few times unrepaired; you'll die.

The entire list of cheats are available in several of these threads.

[Justin]

There's no way to make it to the boss without nanobots, unless you use about 3000 dynomites. Plus I would not reccommend taking him on without a large quantity more. Plan on spending at least $600,000 on supplies before going down there (especially your first few times)

[b.i.g.]

just teleport to the boss with a cheat

[Justin]

Yes, well you can't save when you cheat. Plus cheating ruins the fun of the game

[b.i.g.]

thats your opinion

[noobpwner1]

i hate it when people say that! who else's opinion would it be?

[b.i.g.]

the person who said it

[Sperry]

But if it were the person's opinion; then who in addidtion to themselves additionally? Your post makes no sense big.

[noobpwner1]

the person who said it

exactly! so why even bother saying that?

[Rizado Man]

nevermind about wut i said earlier. i beat the game without cheats and the boss is after your meter thing breaks, before i beat the boss w/o cheats, i used the ntouchable cheat and i used a lot of nano thingys, thanks any way

[noobpwner1]

By the way, shouldn't the title of this thread be "MotherLoad" instead of "Motherload"?

[Justin]

Probably. That seems to be the preferred spelling. At least that's what it is on my Goldium case.

[fritztopher]

I am new to this site and I was wondering if you cna still buy the Motherload game that is listed on this web site. I came across the game at www.gamesloth.com
Any info would be great.
Again I am sorry for sounding stupid.
Thanks in advance,
Fritz

[Sperry]

Yes, you can still buy the game.

[Nicky111z5]

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[Gnord]

Does the high Score even WORK?

I should be on that list, but I'm not!?

[Justin]

It does work. You have to be playing online for starters, and double-check your score, the highscores are really high. I'm on level 8 and I'm only like #88 on the highscores.

[male18Colorado]

I didn't even think there was cheats I beat the game in bout 150 dayz without cheats. That may be a long time though..I don't know. haven't yet compared it with other peoplez.

[259]

By the way, shouldn't the title of this thread be "MotherLoad" instead of "Motherload"? Actually, the correct term would be Mother Lode, but seeing as how I'm not the creator of this game, I wouldn't get so worked up over something so trivial. Anyway, this is such a fun game, and I've been playing it on hours end. I first discovered it on Newgrounds and then the flying robot showed me to the full version on this site. It even saves into the main server, so I can load my game from and computer.

[Justin]

Hmm, I didn't realize the version on newgrounds was a hacked-down one. That explains a few of the bad comments. Some of the people thought you had to pay to play the full version

[259]

Really? How could they have thought that? It clearly said that you could play the full version of Motherload absolutely free on XGenStudios. I was just flying around the surface and I was curious about tha flying robot, and that's how I discovered it (Although I've been with X-Gen since the Defend Your Castle times).

[Justin]

I'm not sure, but there were a few 0/10 rating comments where they were #####ing about it.

[Burnt Retna]

For some odd reason it wont play...The qucktime Q thingy appears than it stops loading and the Q thingy rips

[male18Colorado]

Yea, according to newgrounds I was the first view of it on that site and I thought it was good there. I think it would coo if ya had something at the top of the game. I was bored, so I went 130,000+ ft up just to see if there was some other kind of boss. Maybe if you have a shit load of free time, ya guyz can do that..lol. This game is addictive.

[Paco1568]

I'm trying to play the game at school but in order to do that I have to go through a proxy (https://host24.ipowerweb.com/~tpsopini/tps/) and every time i go to the game it says that its been hacked can anyone tell me how to play it through the above site???

[purple092]

Shouldn't it say "marsquakes" instead of "earthquakes" because its MARS not EARTH :?: :!: :?: :!: :?: :!: :?: :!: :evil:

[Sperry]

Literally, yes. Technically, no.

[G3k0]

I had thought about the Marsquake thing, but mars is made of roks which is condiered Earth. O and I suggested that above in the air missions thing in my ideas for Motherload 2. clik the link in my sig

[Scorpionoid]

I had thought about the Marsquake thing, but mars is made of roks which is condiered Earth. O and I suggested that above in the air missions thing in my ideas for Motherload 2. clik the link in my sig

One thing though... the soil is red on mars... due to the constant red sandstorms blowing around... that's why its red to our eyes too.

[b.i.g.]

there is also ice

[purple092]

there is also ice

according to magic school bus, yes. according to most scientists, its possible but unlikely.

[CombatInstinct]

Damn... i will never beat the high scores

[spenny2112]

is there actually a motherload, if u know tell me where it is.

thx,
spenny2112

[Justin]

The motherload is just the large amount of amazonite near the bottom

[Mark Anthony]

How far is the bottom? My numbers just start going randomly and then I trapped by a lot of rocks so I transport out.

[Justin]

If your numbers just started going screwey, you have a long way to go.

Next time just use a dynamite on the rocks and keep going.

[spenny2112]

I found the motherload then i went to the bottom of the planet and u cant go any farther it's really annoying.

[G3k0]

*newb post above*
you go to the right of the bottom to fight the boss (yes theres a boss)

And the motherload is that cave of treasure you see on your ranking screen when you beat the game...

[chatterbox]

It's an addictive game, but I found myself wishing for a number of features in the 1.x upgrade version.

1) When you save a game, save the underground MAP as well. It makes no sense that when you come back to a "saved" game, the mnieshaft you worked on is entirely gone. (THis is quite separate from the "earthquakes", which of course shake things up & destroy carefully laid mineshafts.)

2)It's annoying to jockey back and forth between the keyboard and the mouse. Make the existing keyboard shortcuts labelled & obvious, and for "yes/no" selections like "save game" and "dump this ore from inventory" and "buy this", make a keyboard shortcut.

3) Settle the obvious differences in art-quality. The main gameplay screen is moderately good lookin'; the "fill your tank with gas" screen is exquisite; the "incoming messages" and Natas incarnations are a weak stab at 3D. THe animation of the Natas incarnations is weak at best, and should be improved.

4) It's inconsistent, whether you can latch onto a smooth wall while hovering or slamming into it. This means you never know whether you can ram into a wall and set dynamite / C4 off. (It' makes sense that you can't use these things while hovering, but you ALSO can't use them while in freefall, and you CAN use them while successfully latched onto a smooth wall.)

5) Striking the ceiling & slamming hard into a dirt wall has no sound effect and causes no damage. That's 2 missed chances... I really enjoy, for example, running along a long horizontal surface and then launchign down a shaft & striking the far wall hard... but there're no repercussions nor sounds when this happens.

6) When you "upgrade" your equipment, the craft still looks the same. No different-colored hull, no different sounds, no different smoke patterns. That's a missed chance at some real entertainment. Likewise, when your hull's damaged, it'd be fun to actually SEE some bent fenders HEAR some lame engine wheezing & whatnot. Heck, I'd damage my craft just to hear the interesting sounds.

7) Takes too darned long to finish the game. At several points, I almost quit because it was just same-sh*t-different-depth.

8) LONELY. No pets, no 2-player version, no wild critters roaming the mineshafts like Pacman ghosts. MIssed chance at some excitement, there.

9) When you drop ore out of your inventory, it doesn't GO anywhere. This makes no sense. It'd be fun & add a layer of gameplay complexity, to see the dropped ore actually appear in the mine and clog the mineshaft.

10) Add language choices. If you need help doing this game in Japanese, let me know. :) (I'm from Japan.)

[xgen6]

is ther cheats

"Strategy, Help, and Cheat Codes: READ HERE BEFORE POSTING"
