Spring Vanilla Level Contest? y/n

[Choco]

You don't need them. It won't change anything.

Does recoloring the original graphics from SMBX count as them being vanilla? Or is there no recolors allowed?

[Choco]

Nope. Unless you can get that into the .lvl file without giving them any files.

[RzFx]

If recolors aren't allowed, the "Vanilla" should be replaced by "Non-Custom", because vanillas can use different palettes.

I am asking because I have not the original player graphic! I would still like to judge, I am just stating I do not have the vanilla toad or peach graphics!

But this isn't necessary. Graphics don't makes any difference in the gameplay.

If I am a judge, which may or may not happen, I would record the levels under unlisted and send them each to the host! Givin a verbal review of each one, and have the review typed out for those who do not want a video!

You do realize you don't get to set the rules if you are a judge, right?

I know that, I am just trying to provide a differnt way to get the results if the user wants them!

@XerX: Probably because the less experienced reviewers always give "0/10 no custom grafickz" Makes everyone think that levels HAVE to have CGFX.

I cannot remember the last time I saw that happen.

Wait its look not so best from screens... you can make... custom graphics? where?... but whatever, is nice level but i not going to play or review this. i am so busy.

[Waddle]

I wouldn't mind doing this at all! Can I be and pick judges?

Id love to be a judge :3

[underFlo]

I'll see if I apply as a judge depending of if I get chosen for MAGLX 2 or not. I hope the results for the 3rd judge are in in time.

Also, will this have a ToB-esque episode coming with it?

That will probably be confirmed or not by Joey later on.

[HeroLinik]

This'll look like a great idea. It'll definitely be easier making vanilla levels then CGFX levels, so we could see more activity in contests if this pulls through. This idea can also attract new SMBX users who haven't got much knowledge about how to use CGFX, and allow them to get a decent placing without resting at the bottom of Tier 1.

I support.

[h2643]

I like this idea, but I have a few questions.

1) Will the NPC text files allowed?
I don't think I should explain this one.

2) Will the recolors, expanded vanilla tilesets and custom music allowed?
Well, to make level more beautiful or more interesting to play.

3) Last and probably the biggest question. Look, not everyone can use SMBX 1.3.0.1.. Those who can not, obviously will use SMBX 1.3. As SMBX 1.3.0.1. was released, it had something interesting in the changelog:

-New SMB3 sizables have been added.
-New SMW sizables have been added.

This. Someone who will use SMBX 1.3, and will put in his level for example, a grassy sizable block, it will be changed, let's say, to castle block in SMBX 1.3.0.1.. It may not fit the general theme of the level and judges may decrease the score. So the question is:
Which version of SMBX should we use for our contest levels?

That's all, still, this sounds like a fun idea! I wonder how many people can be creative without custom graphics.

[Mable]

Does Rosalina count as a vanilla graphic?

No since shes not aviable in vanilla.
Also sure why not have this also 33 votes on yes. Finally something Vanilla not the custom stuff over and over.

May be hard since some tilesets don't have slopes in like smb1 so a - point for a linear level would be cruel. Gonna think a lot of smb3 levels will be made there.

Also no zelda levels in this :(

From what I understand, no additional files are allowed at all, you just submit the .lvl file. As for the version, obviously 1.3.0.1, since it has new stuff. If you don't have it, just download it!

I wish we could have custom music, though. the existing music selection is really limited, and custom music files aren't as annoying to add as custom graphics.

[ssumday]

Nice idea. Looks fun.

[RudeGuy]

Yes, I'd like to partecipate in a vanilla contest. I'd like also if it starts in Spring, unlike the last one.

[mariogeek2]

I'd like to join this time. I'll actually make a level unlike CC9 and CC10.

sorry, I didn't read your post closely enough... how can you not use 1.3.0.1?
