Playing Version 2.02...

DeerUniverse's picture
Today you probably did not see any of my characters in the forest; this was because I downloaded version 2.02 from Sluggs's The Endless Forest (Downloads) page. He explained that this version was rare--it had a huge mushroom ring right behind the crying fountain. But it was so old that it did not have the birch forest, either! Now, you can't take any pictures in this version, sadly, because M and A hadn't have come up with it yet. I can tell you what I saw, though! When my deer woke up, it was a nameless, even when I logged in. This version only allows you to see old 3rd gen pictograms, and the new ones are blocked out by a square of light over the deer's head, or just a dot. Most of the deer I also came in contact with were nameless, or were completely white, from antler to hoof in total whiteness. They also did not have any pictograms. I did see some minis wearing BLACK pelts, and I saw fawns having complete stag antlers, which you definitely don't see everyday...at least not when you play version 3.4.
When I had seen this mini with the black pelt sleeping, I sat next to it to get a spell. And that's when the pig-deer showed up. This deer had a major glitch; it was short and stout, and low to the ground. The deer looked fat, and had no neck, just a head on a pair of over-sized shoulders. I wanted to take a picture of this deer badly; it was a rare, yet funny glitch that doesn't seem to happen very often.


The fawns, when they sat down, looked like dogs when they bent their necks; and even seemed to pant like them. I could only see certain pelts, antlers, and masks on certain deer. And to my knowledge, I could see other players, but they could not see me. Moving your deer around proved to be a bit difficult; you couldn't scroll out the camera while walking or running because your mouse automatically controlled where your deer would be going when you moved it in a certain direction. Deer with skull masks were white, and had elongated faces. One fawn had come up to me and opened its mouth real big as if it were shouting at me. But nothing came out. Not a sound; and my volume was turned up. Something was totally different about this fawn, though. It didn't have EYES. You could see scenery behind the fawn by looking into its eye-sockets. At this point, I'm really wishing I could take pictures. Every time my stag started walking, he perked up his ears like he was listening, but I didn't press any buttons. I could hear Unplugged's pictogram, and found him sitting in mid-air with a bunch of other white deer. They were probably sitting on the raised hill of the birch forest, while I was staring up at them from the first forest. When I rubbed a tree, I expected a pinecone to fall, but instead got decoratively-colored easter eggs the size of the deer's head. When I ate it, nothing happened, and you didn't get any spells if you sat in the mushroom rings, either. But still...this version is so glitch but interestingly weird, I encourage you to download it and try it for yourself!
This has been my 2.02 experience, tell me about yours! Smiling

you could print screen and

you could print screen and download the picture in paint or some other art program directly? sounds like a lot of odd glitchy fun. x)

Ah..no sadly. I have no idea

Ah..no sadly. Sad I have no idea where or how to print the screen, if you could. It really is fun, though. :J
I wish you could capture the moments....

On your keyboard, somewhere, there should be a key that says "PrtSc".

0.0 oh, you're right, there is! now I took some pictures...do you know where they go..?

I don't know much about that,

I don't know much about that, but I think you have to click 'compatibility files' or something.
DeerUniverse's picture

Hmm...alright, I'll look into

Hmm...alright, I'll look into it. Thank you. Smiling

"Compatibility Files' is only

"Compatibility Files' is only used for viewing files when you are taking pictures within the game. (i.e when you hit 'ctrl+p' or just 'p' to take pictures in-game.)

When you do print screen pictures they save to your 'copy/paste' clipboard on your computer. With each time you hit the button to print screen, you have to paste the picture you just took to a paint or word file before you can take another.

;-; darn. I realized the game

;-; darn. I realized the game works on this account for some reason because it's not an admin account. Therefore it won't let me take any pictures....crap. Thank you for the information, though. That will come in handy..

Yes, find Print Screen on

Yes, find Print Screen on your keyboard, press it, open Microsoft Paint or Sai or whatewer and press Ctrl+V ^^

When I had 3.13, I've been seeing also white deers and antlered fawns. I could not see certain masks and antlers, and if the deer had unreleased pelt it turned white. Every pictogram was converted to first gen and sleeping deer with unreleased pelt had transparent body.

But once I found out there is virus in it, I immadeately got rid of it and won't download anything again for my safety. The first gen I have was for purpose of running old versions, but when I was told that there were problems with viruses in the past with these downloads already I decided to give the picto to my stag instead of endangering myself with these. I'm so s-sorry to say, I don't know if your file is virus-free... :'(

Jennie, I have not heard of

Jennie, I have not heard of viruses in the downloads. The only things you were experiencing as far as you said were 'glitches' and not viruses.

I think you misunderstood me,

I think you misunderstood me, sorry. See this.

hmmm.. I seem to be experiencing minor technical difficulties in starting the latest version of the game now. I hate to it about the viruses...but you may be right. o.o

You won't know it's a virus

You won't know it's a virus until you run a scan with virus detection software. If you are concerned, do that now.

those glitches sound pretty

those glitches sound pretty funny! C: I'd love to try that version of TEF, but I don't like mass downloads as such...

ok...so I ran a scan on my computer and found out that it was a virus...actually several of them. It was sort of fun playing the old version, but this new operating system and old game don't get along very well together, so I'll have to uninstall it...
Sorry, v2.02!

*Note: I might not be back in the forest for few-several days because of the forest being 'broken' for now....*
"Common sense is not so common." -Voltaire

OMG... viruses everywhere!

OMG...
viruses everywhere! ;;

Uninstall and delete everything from the TEF you have, scan again and then reinstall the newest version from Tale of Tales. How is your forest broken? I'm missing you :|

Oh my gosh....
when I went into the forest this morning, there were NO landmarks, no grass, no trees, no water, no NOTHING. it was an empty expanse of nothingness, and my deer looked like it was starving from lack of food. Really creepy glitch....
Ok, so I uninstalled the old glitchyness and installing newest version!
I miss you too, Jennie! I miss everyone, even the nameless deer!! I'm coming back!
;-;

That's normal in old

That's normal in old versions. I've been downloading two of them and both behaved the same, I think it's so from 3.31 to the oldest and running as administrator is the only fix to it. It's a glitch of nature and character detail being the lowest, which you can force even in the newest version, hovewer there it's somehow unfixable and defined, dunno why. I don't think that you have made two folders for each version so you could use both phase two and the newest, since you couldn't enter forest. What can I reccomend you, delete everyting from TEF, even if it's gonna be manually just for your safety. Maybe you feel like I'm overreacting, but to me viruses are nightmares. I had only one there. 8|

Oh, you don't have to worry

Oh, you don't have to worry about that! xD I deleted everything TEF related and installed the newest version. My mistake for downloading the glitchy old ones just for fun. o-o
"Common sense is not so common." -Voltaire

Ah, you are such positive

Ah, you are such positive person <3
Also, if you were seeing all black deers, then these were deers who wear the zombie pelt. I heard that those who play phase two see it as the Black as night pelt ^^

0-0 that's exactly how I saw them as! it was such a beautiful pelt...but very rare. I wonder if only the gods wear them?
"Common sense is not so common." -Voltaire

No, Gods can cast the pelt on

No, Gods can cast the pelt on us. This pelt is from the same family as Idol and Devout pelt, though, so it can't be saved and you lose it when you leave the game. Also when someone devouts you while you wear it, if you let the devout fade the pelt will be gone too.

Dang....sounds like an

Dang....sounds like an elusively rare pelt. o-o
Has anyone ever taken a picture of it before?
"Common sense is not so common." -Voltaire

Wait, I just realized. |D If

Wait, I just realized. |D
If you have seen a fawn with empty eye sockets and eyes floating by it's head, then you've seen the end fawn of doom. >Laughing out loud
Congratulations! xD

O-O Oh my gosh. Am I going to

O-O
Oh my gosh. Am I going to die?!
Are we all going to die...? ;-;
What a freakish glitch. A creepy one.
"Common sense is not so common." -Voltaire

daaaaarn. I am sowwy ;; no

daaaaarn. I am sowwy ;; no intention of bringing the forest nightmares was!
Jen only loves apocalyptic thingies and the deermuda triangle. xD
DeerUniverse's picture

deermuda triangle? was that

deermuda triangle? was that the connection of the 3 broken stones near the playground? I was wondering what that was *.*
no, don't be sowwy. :3
I like those things, too.
And you know...something weird is definitely going to happen in 2017. Get ready for it; the planets are going to line up with each other...
The rest that happens after that...well I guess we'll have to wait and see. End of the world? possibly. Other things like zombies? maybe. who knows....
"Common sense is not so common." -Voltaire

Yes. Caldy loves that :3 But

Yes. Caldy loves that :3
But unless you are him or Nine, it's dangerous, for living things at least. Glitches happen there, I've experieced some as well. When Jennie was a fawn and was plaid OOC since I was newbie that thought that the forest is not roleplay, I went to the Deermuda for sleep (under her picto). When I woke up, I had candles on my head! And from the visit I've been seeing blue energy randomly appeaearing in the land at times and managed to visit the Deermuda dimension twice throught the forest grounds. Uh. And just recently, Jennie made a step there only to see the sky glitching black lines and blue energy smoke appeaearing in lines of it on the sky!
I miss Nine btw xD
DeerUniverse's picture

Ah. ;; I see. I'm sorry I

Ah. ;; I see. I'm sorry I don't have time to be all of my characters. If there were 5 of me, I would totally do it. xD Yep, Nine's gonna be in the forest now! Sticking out tongue
._. I know...weird stuff usually happens over in the triangle. Once, when I was carefree as fawn Nireda, I sat down right in the triangle (but I didn't know it) and as soon as her butt hit the ground, her fur glitched up and started digitizing into different colors. It was moving spazmatically, but stopped when I moved my mouse on the screen all of a sudden. It gave me the creeps and actually made me more interested in the game. Smiling
