I'm actually more concerned for the later half of the level in terms of subliminally telling the player what to do.

So I'm really confident in my level, everything looks fine in both editors, I sleep for the night and when I wake up this morning everything is graphically broken???? Nice to be reminded of how moody SMBX can be right at the finish line!

Did you put a period in your level name somewhere? If so, take it out.

I'm fairly happy with the outcome of my level. Last minute testing and antivirus shenanigans, hell yeah.

My original level names were:
Respectfully Swim in Termina
Lava Lotus Have Resolute and Guarded Characteristics
Behold, There is Stress Disappearing!
Let's Think About Kirby and Blargg
Meta Knight and Metroid Meet at Last
And the new ones I requested are:
Jobless
Damp Villa
Subdued Language
Birdo Castle

I changed literally nothing. I mean, this is starting to happen as I'm editing, to sections I'm not touching.

My luck is the garbage-est...

Turn it in anyway. It can be fixed down the road if necessary.

Could someone send me a download for a thwimp graphic? I tried using the CGFX pack, but mediafire really hates me at the moment for some reason.

PMed you one.

Blivsey, have you double-checked that your level and level folder have exactly the same name, and that the level isn't in the level folder itself but in the directory the level folder is in? That and the period issue are all I can think of.

I spent so long working on graphics that I didn't have enough time making a level, oh well. I think I'll finish this with like 10MB of graphics and dump it for A2MBXT after this all settles down. T'was amazingly fun though, I'd rather submit an amazing level then a half-arsed one. I have to applaud Horikawa for being so brave with managing multiple sites here. Round of applause for the queen!

I really should've clarified that my problem is graphics overlaying in the wrong order, not that they're not loading. My bad.

Given that I'm a hub designer for this dumb contest, I like to think I know my way around SMBX. Apparently there are still surprises...

ALSO YEAH HAIL TO THE QUEEN

thanks windows 8, administrator permissions has now officially turned my contest level literally into a ghost

(I renamed the level, but the game now recognizes two separate files, even though there aren't)

Sadly, that's outside the "things I learned how to fix because I messed them up with my own level". The only guess I have is that it relates to that "sorting priority" option in Wohl's editor - according to the accompanying text, that doesn't actually get saved due to the limitations of the .lvl files or something, so if you were relying on that, it's not going to work.

Hopefully my level was good. Kinda vanilla though, although I did use a few custom sprites though. I had a few close calls on my level though, the SMBX editor crashed on me a few times.

Oh man I ran into that problem when I did my level. There are some background graphics that just plain want to be in front of everything, but I'm not sure which ones. Even if you try placing them behind something they will appear in front when you reload the level, which might have been what happened to you.

Make sure you reload often so the graphics look right! But yeah I'm not sure how to fix that problem either unless you replace other background graphics.

Way too much procrastination later, I am done. Dunno how well I'm going to do since my level is mostly visual (also I didn't have time to finish a whole section).

Just for kicks, here are my rejected names:

Bloopers Have Boring and Maddening Characteristics
Let's Think About Thwomps and Snifits
Muddled Kind Passion
Definitions Do Not Come from the Stronghold. Where the Heck Were You Raised to Think That? They Come from the Skies

If you sent it through PMs, and it's in your Sent Messages folder instead of your Outbox folder, then it went through.

I submitted my level already, so here are the rejected names:

I'd laugh, but also weep for the average quality of levels if that was the case. It's not terrible(I hope), but not great either.

Only two things I'll say about my level before it's played:

About the character I chose:
I would have made playing Peach an option (two character level instead of one character), with different powerups for the two characters and custom graphics for both if I had joined this contest sooner.
About what little graphics I changed:
Personally, I wanted to replace the SMB3 wood tile graphics with fleshy-walled Womb Level graphics of my own design. Of course, editing GIF sprites in MSPaint prevents me from changing the palette so this wasn't an option for me unless I did something drastic and time-consuming.
