ShareThis« Isa's Blog
This guide allows you to load any level, any size, regardless of uploader glitches. You can bypass all uploading errors Neopets forced upon the users.

One time:
Step 1: Download Fiddler
Step 2: Install Fiddler
Every time you start Fiddler:
Step 3: Type into the black bar at the bottom left.
Step 4: Click "Inspectors" and then "TextView" on the tabs on the lower half of the right side.
For every cave you want to load:
Step 5: Attempt to load a level (one that doesn't exist is fine).
Step 6: Find the http request for "/games/cavemaker/pirate_level_load.php?username=usernameyouenteredinhatpc" on the list to the left (it's probably the bottom one).
Step 7: Click "Break on Response" (middle-right).
Step 8: Click "TextView" and replace the contents of the lower text-box with the cave you want to load.
Step 9: Click "Run to Completion".
A convenient method could probably be made so that you could load levels without having to repeat those steps every time, but it would take some work to do and IDK what the set-up would be like on your end.

Test results of using this method of loading levels with errors in it include, but isn't limited to, the following:
'canadianstickdeath' said:
- Invalid Terrain Type: Either crashes as soon as it reads the terrain type or crashes as soon as it tries to load any terrain.
- Invalid Background Type: Background is all black. Crashes after a second.
- Invalid Water Type: Crashes as soon as it tries to load a water level. Water taps will load but will not function. Let them run a few seconds or break a few water crates and it will crash. The stream of a water tap is falling is visible, but only the white line.
- Multiple Starting Positions: Only the last starting position in reading order will function, though all of them will appear on the map.
- Multiple Water Levels: Appear to function pretty much like you would expect, essentially creating a row of air pockets starting at where the 2nd water level is placed. Could potentially see use in a cave in order to have an object inside of an air pocket at the very start, but I can't really see that being worth the trouble.
- Especially Large/Small Levels: Load correctly.
- Titles: You can put anything you want. Blank title works fine. Really long title pushes "press jump to start" downward. Not really sure if there's a limit to how long of a title you could use. If you want, you can have the game tell you that it couldn't load the level because you're too stupid using the error; thing.

i was in the process of making a 200 x 200 cave but i was discouraged by: 1) long loading time 2) the fact that no one would actually end up playing it 'Livio' said: You know, I was thinking of getting an internship at Microsoft, but I'm not sure I want their lameness to rub off on me. | |

Shos had a huge maze you could try. Made it long before you could upload it. | |

I just realized two of the top 3 largest levels are mine. 'Livio' said: You know, I was thinking of getting an internship at Microsoft, but I'm not sure I want their lameness to rub off on me. | |

I believe he was talking about 'the aMAZEing maze' which was a super foolish map I made(although if it was possible I remember it having a special gem) and there is also the Myster Island Volcano that I made which was enormous and a (possibly really) good level  | |

Kind of a necropost, but super useful Code: bpu http://www.neopets.com/games/cavemaker/pirate_level_load.php?caveoftheweek=1 Using this instead of Code: bpu http://www.neopets.com/games/cavemaker/pirate_level_load.php will make it so you can just press Cave of the Week button, instead of writing in a fake username. This idea was already shown by CSD in the first page, but no one ever actually acknowledged it. Spoiler: Interguild discord!! People use it!! | |

I know this isn't strictly relevant to this blog, but i am currently unable to play any user created levels on hatpc. I have a macbook and am using safari, as i wasn't even able to open the game on chrome. Whenever i type in a username it says that the 'user map does not exist'. I would be very grateful if anyone could help. | |

yeah you have to use fiddler now, the load username function is broken Can you feel your heart burning? Can you feel the struggle within? The fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make, you cannot kill me in a way that matters | |

it's not working are you supposed to press enter after step 3? also, i can't get to text edit unless one of the things on the left hand side is selected. Finally the 'break on response' button never appears | |

You have to press enter after step 3. | |

Has anyone tried emailing neopets asking them to fix the problem? | |

It says in the middle bar where break on response should be that the response is encoded and nothing else. | |

i feel like all levels were deleted from accounts in the server switch or they haven't been uploaded yet 'Livio' said: You know, I was thinking of getting an internship at Microsoft, but I'm not sure I want their lameness to rub off on me. | |

I considered sending them a support ticket, but I've had problems switching my main account's email address to any of the ones I currently use, so it's still tied to my Mom's email (I was 9 years old), and that's too awkward to deal with. Like it keeps telling me my main email address I use has 5 accounts tied to it, despite me switching accounts to my secondary email address specifically to make room for my main account.  COMING SOON: A giant meteor. Please. Give me +karma. Give me +karma. | |
