BTW, has this been crossposted elsewhere?

To SMW central at least.

I kind of have an idea for a joke level, but I'm afraid if I do it, people will make fun of it, and I will get last place or if I make something good and funny, do I have a chance of doing well?

it's fine to make joke levels, but don't forget to make it a fun level and actually funny.

I want to get the text that scrolls and makes a sound when the text appears.

http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=6863 this?

I have trouble w/inserting the music, and I don't know how to make it sound accurate when I try to write it?

make sure you're using addmusick and read the readme. should have what you need to know there

[Leet]

tfw your sprite's garbled graphics before inserting efgfx actually look pretty funny

it looks like a mole with big shoes having a sensual stroll

Hmmm... I think I'll have to give this a try... Will have some research to do...

I have... ideas... *whistle*

[Tyty]

With absolutely no restrictions I tend to think a bit crazy as to what I can do in SMW, but I don't have the ASM skills to back it up, so I guess I'll try and stay vanilla and not ram the deadline like last time.

Now the real question is if I can break away from a line-guide fuzzy and diggin' chuck level and do something interesting for once. This is why I at least like being given a theme I guess.

[MECHDRAGON777]

if anyone needs it, here's raocow's lp of magl1, since this is based off that.

Hopefully we can beat magl2's 36 entries this time around.

BTW, has this been crossposted elsewhere?

Want me to post it on SMBX.org?

[SAJewers]

Go ahead if you want.

[raocow]

video advertising magl3 is gonna be up in a few minutes, hopefully it'll catch a few eyes!

[TaviTurnip]

F-first? I wasn't even aware it was coming I just went to rao's channel like I do every day and oops the temptation to post "first" on the video was obscenely tempting but I came and did this more annoying thing instead.

EDIT: omg huge obnoxious images I thought attachments went at the bottom WTF? >:c

[Ivy]

Thanks for the photographic evidence. I'll add it to the catalog of first views

[QubicTom]

Man, I think I might give this a go. It's going to be the jankiest level in the contest, though. Be warned!!!

[GenesisJames]

I'm absolutely garbage at Lunar Magic (like, "not knowing how to use custom anything"-level bad), but I'll try to do something for this since Wine actually runs Lunar Magic for me. Hopefully I don't become too busy like I always seem to end up being, haha~

[TaviTurnip]

I'm currently at the point where I want to ask someone/people for help with literally every single little issue like I did with SMBx and obviously this isn't what I want to do because that's annoying, but I really wish graphic swapping/addition was as easy as it is there `~` (At least I figured out how to correctly change and remove old AddMusic tags to make it work with the latest one, samples included, so that's nice.)

[FPzero]

I might come out of SMW romhacking retirement for this. Watch out SNN.

[waffledoctor87]

So, uh, if this helps anyone:

Tile 1EB is the jankiest thing ever.

It's solid to sprites (but only from the top, and not for Mario) and has no friction.

Wall-triangle Mario can run up it, even though he doesn't see it as solid.

It's just the best tile in the game.

[GVirusG]

This would be a good chance to use Lunar Magic once again :D

[S.N.N.]

cutting your score in half for threats

good luck winning now

[Kincyr]

I'm going to throw my hat in for this one, since I've had some ideas that didn't quite fit with previous contests.

god that's the tile from this: https://youtu.be/cYLNq0hvCHU?t=351

it's my favorite level in all of vanilla level design contest 8

[KirbyComment]

Alright. Getting a chance to catch one of these contests and participate! I had a question though:

Am I allowed to use an already existing romhack as my source for making my level? As I have no experience with ASM whatsoever and was only ever able to insert sprites and music back when I messed around with this several years back.

[Mata Hari]

I realize this is probably irrelevant at this point but it would probably be helpful to refer to this contest at MAGLW to distinguish it from MAGLX

since rap cow kept being like 'not MAGLX!!" and everything

[ParmaJon]

I am so glad that Lunar Magic is so gracious and idiot-friendly and that zero out of five things were simple to do within the first two hours; we wouldn't want something easy like the dumb ol' SMBx vanilla editor in here or anything.


I am so not ready to study Literally Everything for this, but here we go.

Im in the same boat as you, but whats the worst that can happen?

[Njord_Nytilflytter]

Never used any of these programs before. Anyone know if there are any advantages between GPS and Block tool super deluxe?
