Will you be readding the midpoint to Crumbles?markyjoe1990 wrote:I'm gonna edit two of my levels the moment I get a chance. They need to be nerfed slightly. I'll get back to you guys when it's done.

Re: Level tweaking and QA (next: JUMP v1.02)
There we go. I nerfed the final stage I created for the hack. The changes I made are not very noticeable, but have a lot of impact.
As for Crumbling's midpoint... It's too short to have one IMO, and I've seen people beat it on their first try blind, so I'm inclined not to do it.

Re: Level tweaking and QA (next: JUMP v1.02)
Anyone else think it should have a midpoint?

I Suggest replacing that one mushroom which you have to reach by jumping on a spiny with a midpoint.
I'll play through the changes in v1.02 when I have time later today.
this is getting laundromatic

Re: Level tweaking and QA (next: JUMP v1.02)
Midway flags that weren't used in original levels (including your level), were used instead for the midpoints of other extra levels not in 1-24 or 101-13B. In your case, the midway was used in 1F8.
I will fix this problem but just wanted to say that technically it won't be activated if you try it for now.

Re: Level tweaking and QA (next: JUMP v1.02)
Wow, I really like these edits! I feel like some of the more frustrating stuff has been removed and some early game levels are now more appropriate in difficulty.
I especially like the changes in Misc Monument, I feel like this can be an actual super fun level now that you don't have to repeat every thing all the time (:

I found that three dragon coins were removed, while the other two at the end of the level remain. I'd ask to not discard dragon coins, because of the compatibility problem of the save files of old versions.markyjoe1990 wrote:There we go. I nerfed the final stage I created for the hack.

How about this instead? I assumed you want to remove the problem of the previous dragon coin challenge.

Re: Level tweaking and QA (next: JUMP v1.02)
My bad. I went and fixed up the level. I tossed a midway point in Crumbling as well. It's at 0C, replacing the mushroom as Ryrir suggested.
...
So yeah, hopefully this fixes all the problems my levels had before.
Oh wait, that's right, I have to fix that other level I made, "Coin Guides Are Always Accurate!"
*Sigh*
This is gonna be a doozy. I'm prolly gonna have to completely remake the stage.

Because spinning should be kept originally, I'm guessing something like this would make sense?markyjoe1990 wrote: a midway point in Crumbling
The redesigned coin guide level may be included in v1.03, if it's expected to take a while. So you don't have to hurry. On the other hand v1.02 is supposed to be released as soon as possible; before raocow reaches the ghost house of the ice world (the best scenario)

Re: Level tweaking and QA (next: JUMP v1.02)
Completely redesigned the Coin Guides level with the help of Lolyoshi. I changed text, but included it in the zip folder so you can easily reinsert it.
This time around, I aimed to make the level more intuitive, and to provide more time for the player to react. The secret exit hasn't been done yet, however, so don't play it. It's as unfair as it was before.
Feedback is appreciated, since I remade it all in four hours.

Re: Level tweaking and QA (next: JUMP v1.02)
Good job on redesigning the level nicely, definitely better than the previous one. Just one thing; move the dragon coin from the boundary to prevent the glitch.

Re: Level tweaking and QA (next: JUMP v1.02)
Found a slight issue with respawning in Chains of Atrophy. In the second to last section (level 80, area with moles and pokeys) dying and respawning will remove the water from the area. This has the added side effect of making the section quite a bit easier! The water is restored when using a reset pipe, but hopefully a proper fix can be made?

Re: Level tweaking and QA (next: JUMP v1.02)
Sorry for the double posting.
Here's the current ROM. Even more things have been changed (see the changelog).
Ver 1.02 (second)
The dragon coin glitch in the coin guide level is still left. Other than that, I found no issues until now (maybe other overlooked things exist).

Re: Level tweaking and QA (next: JUMP v1.02)
This doesn't need to be fixed, but there is an odd glitch that can occur due to there being a boss battle in level 18 (Palatable Perturbation). If the next level you visit after beating that boss contains a yoshi, yoshi will be glitched and you can die in an unusual way. Returning to the overworld in any way will fix the glitch however, so the chances of encountering it are very low.
Here's a video of someone accidentally encountering the glitch during one of the unlockable movies (thankfully there is a fail safe in place, but it's amusing nonetheless): http://www.twitch.tv/nathanisbored/v/46978176

Oh, maybe this is the thing.ROM Map wrote:$048DDA 1 byte Misc. Change to 80 to fix a rather odd bug caused by playing a level immediately after beating a boss in Sunken Ghost Ship's original level (level 018), in which Yoshi will display extremely strangely and goal tapes/spheres will stop Mario rather than making him walk.

Whoops that was unintentional, and was probably just something I used for testing purposes.

I'm uploading the next version of JUMP (v1.02) before this weekend is over, as I promised.
Download JUMP v1.02
If there's no extra modifications in 1-2 days, this will be officially released on other places.

Re: Level tweaking and QA (next: JUMP v1.03)
I procrastinated, but I finally finished updating Coin Guides Are Always accurate. Both the normal and secret exits should be much more pleasant now.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/357 ... %20128.zip
Aterraformer gave me a few notes about each, so it's possible I'll make minor updates in the future, but for now, I just want to have the better version of the stage to be up before more people are exposed to the original.
I should probably mention that the other levels may or may not have gotten very subtle, small updates. I recall putting an extra mushroom in crumbling your problems away because I replaced one with a midpoint and you don't get a single power up after the mid point. Super Grand Ultra Marathon got minor changes as well. Mainly just making part 3 and 4 easier by very slight amounts... but I think I already mentioned this before.
