Much better now, i will try to make them on blender when i'm done with my entry, see if i can make a gif.

If you send me the sides, front (and back) texture i guess i can make it.

@ The Gamer: Heh, I'm sorry but I got no sides or anything. I first printscreened lunar magic with that tile in, pasted it in Word Office (actually) to make the 3D effect, then I printscreened again and pasted it in MS Paint to draw the sides. After all this I used Paint.net to add colors and smoothness.

In other words, I do it the most annoying way.
I like the trophies you came up with, but I think they would look loads better without the blur.


Also, I have a question about the contest: are we allowed to use the optional patches already integrated into Lunar Magic? I ask this because of the wording of the rules, which implies that we can't use what's restricted because they're not part of LM.
The optional patches like the level message one, right? What others are there? I'm pretty much fine with people using that one at least, but I can't recall what other optional patches there were.

FastROM, smkdan's vram expansion, I don't know about fade fix...
Er, I believe there are Ersanio's FastROM, the LZ compression options, the 512 background thing, something with the sprite berry GFX tile (?), and the vram expansion.

Although the rules specifically mention using BG2 and BG3, so I know the vram expansion is allowed.
Ah, that new stuff. I'm fine with any of those. If LM has the patch for it, it's fine in my book.
Okay, cool. Thanks very much for that. :>
That still seems a bit silly to me, but at least it's a vast improvement over what used to be allowed.

@ The gamer: Would been awsome with a gif, but I have no experience with 3D generally.


I really like this new version, Uhrix! It's a lot easier for me to tell what they are now, too. I partially agree with TRS in that they might look a little better without the blur, but I couldn't really tell for sure unless you compared them both. Anyway, good job man. The only change I might make is to make the speckles in the dirt stand out a little more, because it's a little difficult to see them in the gold and silver trophies right now.

Honestly, I think I'd like to use those as the trophies for -any- level contest, rather than just this one. It would certainly separate the level contests from other events such as the Mosts.

Nice work.
Looks great Uhrix I like the idea of giving some contests special trophies. they looks great but i suggest you darken the dots in the dirt they are hard to see and (I think) would make it look more obvious its a SMW tile. IDK it might just be me.

you can't use the 8x8 tile editor either.


Ok, well, since it is allowed to use the BG2 and BG3, I guess it's not important.

I guess so, even though it's just layer 2.


If you guess, I consider it a yes.:)
I'm still hoping for someone else to be sure about this.

Chocolate.
I love the idea for the trophies, but, to be honest, I thought it looked a lot better before you added the outlines...

FirePhoenix said at the previous page that it only counts as a single screen, but that you should try to not abuse it either.

Would it be allowed to just copy a gfx to a different spot to fix the transluscent item box? or is that illegal for the contest?
You, what do you own the world? How do you own disorder, disorder?
Now, somewhere between the sacred silence, sacred silence and sleep.

That is illegal.
Are we allowed to use more map16 than the two pages for the foreground and the two pages for the background let alone edit map16 at all?

Yes, this is allowed.

Yes, this is allowed.

And highly advised, I may add. Using unique Map16 edits will definitely get you some extra points in Appeal.
