is it canon for demo to be panicked about having to finish levels on time???
Hi YouTube peeps! Want a cozier, chiller community that actually feels like a discussion instead of shouting into an endless void?
Consider posting on the talkhaus too! :catplanet:

So I came across this about a week and a half ago; the possibility of using this for per-level no-yoshi filter screens has led me to add a column to the level sheet to track no-yoshi levels.

Of all the levels currently inserted (+ the 3 pending levels), 34/72 currently either have a no-yoshi filter set up, or don't currently work with them fully. Some should be fixable (those are marked with a 😐 face) though, mainly by moving graphic tiles in SP3 and editing custom sprites to match.

edit: should note i wasn't trying to see if levels were beatable with cat llamas, just seeing if they worked without graphical issues

Here. Choose BPS or IPS, BPS has to be patched to a rom that doesn't have a header, IPS to one that does have a header. Outside of that they have to be clean, with no edits. This fix isn't 100% complete, according to Maks but it's completable in most emulators.

I was going to reply to this, but sadly I got lost in my late night RPG research (J, W, CN, KOR...). It's addicting to learn more about RPGs and playing them, I'm so sorry!

There's probably no way I'm going to finish the boss of my level on time. At best, I can finish the level itself.

A shame since I already previewed it oops. Classic case of biting off more than I can chew (unless, yknow, I have until May or if I can work on the boss outside pre-bowz deadline)

fair enough, this is everything I did with the level so far (proof)




e: if you're wondering why I can't make the pre-bowz deadline for boss specifically, I made a video why (basically health problems with my shoulder which makes it difficult to code)

couldn't say anything in the discord at the time because power outage, but I think if you can get the level done and insertable by the level deadline, and then get the rest of it done by the final castle deadline, you should be fine.

That's kinda what I was expecting anyway, to have it like ASMBXT where the "deadline" is simply to have all levels in an playable state and can be beaten from start to finish, and any further tweaking and updates can happen while other stuff gets worked on.

I mean ... I think a large part of the charm of collab hacks is that levels can have very different styles from each other. A jumpy level or five only contributes to the contrast.

I'm going to get some outside testing in, but I'm basically done.

I renamed my level to "The Crash at Craigdarroch Castle"

i felt like i was dismissing your level's identity and placing you in a single style by saying it's jump-y, i didn't mean to hurt you but im being aware that it could be taken as an insult, especially when its something like gamedev, hobbyist or not

I checked my 3 earlier levels just now and all the map16 tiles I used were for some reason all set to act as 130

going to resend my map16 pages for foreground and hope it doesn't act up again

When we expanded the base ROM from 4 MB to 6 MB, all of the "Act as" for Map16 pages 40-7F got messed up for some reason. It's been fixed as of the latest version of the base ROM, and after doing some playtesting, I confirmed that your levels are functioning correctly.

Also, I saw in another post that you DMed the Level 12C resources to Nao. Unfortunately, he's no longer available to work on the collab. If you upload your resources to one of these threads, then either Koba or I will put it into the base ROM instead.

So, how does the current baserom work? I patch the "my hack" file and get this:
