Not Sure...[edit] where to introduce myself! - General Discussion

Hey, didn't know where to introduce myself so I figured i'd do it here.

Hello!

A little about myself...

Im comfortable with the LM interface, ive inserted custom blocks, ExGfx, made a pretty standard (read: no ExGfx) custom OW.
I remember to hit F9 after modifying my m16, with the help of the 8x8 editor.
No problems with addmusic (the cmd line version, not "made easy", addmusic.bat made enough sense to me)

I'm still a little shaky when it comes to inserting custom sprites (haven't tried) and i'm still not sure how the pallettes are set up (although i like messing with LM's star-button-pallette-window-thingy).

...I haven't even begun to attempt anything regarding ASM, but i have a background in programming (c/c++/vb/.net) so only time will tell.

i also enjoy (parenthetical (statements)).

hello smwcentral!

ps. i have a super duper beta beta BETA hack (only two levels) and i would like to hear some feedback. mostly regarding overall level design and level difficulty. the more i test my levels, the easier they get. now i have no idea how to gauge their *actual* difficulty and/or design.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

First of all, post stuff like this in the World of Insanity Forum... and welcome.

*cough*

Hello and welcome to SMW Central, blue_rabbit.
If you'd like, you can introduce yourself in this thread as well.
Nice to see you're starting on a hack, and that you've registered with a good amount of SMW hacking knowledge. We'd appreciate it if you could post the beginnings of your hack in this thread. Hope you enjoy your time here.

thx s.c.o.r.p. & supertails! now i know.

i hope parabuzzy's cough clears up...

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

XD

Wow, that actually made me chuckle in real life.

That cough is metaphorical way pointing out a thread... in forums, in real life people sometimes make a fake cough and conceal a word within. That is what Parabuzzy did.

Nice to meet you all.

ill post an ips tomorrow if anyones interested.

btw, ive been looking on the forums and i cant find any solid info on the way pallettes are used, anyone got a link?

[edit] @ scorp... it's called irony.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Go to the "level" tab in lunar magic and hit Enable Custom Pallete, then experiment with it by changings some colors around, you'll learn how to use it quickly that way.

Actually it's called taking things literally. Anyway, do you have any screenshots? Also, is there any other info you can post about it?

screenshots? not at the moment. the pc is all tasked out atm. (im on my macbook)

basic info about it is that ive got a storyline (i know its not necessary, but it helps) and 2 levels. whats the best way of posting an ips without officially submitting a hack?

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Before you post the IPS, try making 3 or 5 more levels, so that if the hack is good. People won't get disapointed for only 2 levels.

well, the purpose of posting only 2 levels would be kind of a litmus test. are my levels way too easy? id kinda like to know that before i start mashing into some more. thats the idea.
[edit] oh well...

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

ok, I understand.

If you have a website, put it there. If not, then make a few more levels (at least complete a world) and submit it as a demo. By the way, do you have a name for it?

You could also post upload your current ips, and post a link in this thread. Use something like Savefile.com

Welcome, Blue Rabbit! It's good to here you have already learned enough to make some great levels. Don't worry, custom sprite inserting is easy. All you need to know is to read the Readme.

Welcome to the SMWC forums. Enjoy your stay and don't break the rules. ;)

Also moving this to "Talk".

Welcome. You seem like a pretty cool guy. I'm looking forward to seeing your hacking abilities. I'm running out of hacks to play.
