BaseROM Level Design Contest 2022 - Discussion

What it says in the title - this is for open discussions for the 2022 BLDC.

NOTE: For anything that pertains to the baserom refer to the standalone thread dedicated to that topic.

I'm not a doctor.

Will we be able to make the game skip straight to the Level? (No Title Screen, Intro Level or Overworld)

You won't be able to, that resource is not in the baserom.

is there going to be a compilation, and if so, a dedicated soundtrack (that's public)?

Bit early to say if there will be and there is no "official" plan in place for a compilation. It's something that would have to be discussed after the contest is over and we have a better sense of what sort of submissions we get and how complicated they may be to compile.

is editing the "Act as" setting allowed for blocks like the bubble looking blocks?

hi i'm making freak city and idk when i'll be finished <3

Changing the Act As of existing tiles in map16 falls under the rules regarding map16 editing, so: no.

after long years, I remembered this website exists, and got lucky to see this contest. I might try to do create something, finally.

expect me to be at the bottom 5 of the list, since I will have no idea what I will be doing

what pages should we use if we're making our own map16?
i understand page 15 should probably be used for foreground but what about background?

Background pages 90 and beyond are still available. This requires a change in bank in the background editor is all.

Where am I supposed to put the AMK files? And do I insert the whole folder or just the .txt?

EDIT: Ok i'm confused now whether this comment should go here or there

Alright guys, this is kind of urgent, but how do I send .bps files from my filebin? (i'm worried the judges might screw me over cause i directed them to my filebin)

Your file was already uploaded, all you have to do is to copy the link of the uploaded file (right click is enough) and then put it into a post in the submission thread. You can even have it linked with the [url] tag.

IT WORKED, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

EDIT: Wait a minute, but I have to manually paste it in to get it to download, how do i fix this?

As mentioned in my post, it's only linked if you use the [url] tag. All you have to do is to mark your as and then press Ctrl+L, though you can also press on the link button (8th button on the left on the toolbar).
When doing manually, the code should look something like this:

which translates to https://www.smwcentral.net
If you want it to have a text as a link, you instead have some normal text marked and then a window pops up where you can enter your link (this is the default option, btw, which means if you put a URL as it is, you will get some empty text as a result so if you want to merely link a URL without a text, just mark the URL instead). For doing it manually, the code will look like this:

which translates to SMW Central

It works now, thank you so much!
