why
because i don't think i can get in a really high tier.

But why 25th out of all.

Because 25th is like 2.5th place.

Now that I have the rest of my level planned out, the next (X amount of days) is ALL going to be me working on my level. I have to stop myself from going on the SMBX Community Minecraft Server.

I get it now, but why wouldn't you rather be in 2nd? or 2.5th

You got 16th place in CC5.
Anyway, I don't see why would you get a bad placement instead of a very good one.

Put your level in a ZIP along with the optional custom graphics folder and custom music.

Please don't put the files in another folder before archiving because I will have to move them out afterwards and that's more unnecessary work for me.

You may include a readme with tips if you want. But if your readme only has credits for graphics or something, please put it in the graphics folder. I only want critical info regarding playing the level next to the levels themselves.

Archive your level as shown above. Don't put the level, music or the possible readme inside the custom graphics folder as I have to move it out and it slows down the process unnecessarily. Make sure the custom graphics folder and the level have the exact same name as otherwise the custom graphics won't display in the level.

Give your level a unique name. Don't name it "Level" or "Contest" as that just makes organizing the levels a pain and at worst levels will get overwritten because they have the same names.

Name the custom music as shown above. Here's an example. If it's the desert theme from New Super Mario Bros. Wii, don't name it "Desert" or "Custom music" because it could overwrite an existing custom music with the same name when I pack the levels for the judges. Renaming songs and then making sure they still work in the correct levels is extremely time-consuming. So do this instead: name it nsmbw-desert.mp3. That's a great way to prevent overwrites, and if somebody happens to use the same music, the overwrite is actually beneficial as the double song will be eliminated and the package size will be reduced.

Don't name your readme just "Readme" either because, again, that'll definitely cause overwrites. Put the name of your level in the beginning of the name as shown above.

Please name the .zip after the level, too.

Please make sure none of the NPC codes have decimal values. They cause problems and slow down the judging/TOB progress significantly.

Send your level to me in a Private Message. I will direct them to the judges.

Also, use sites like Mediafire, Dropbox or Sendspace to upload your level.

Ahh Thanks I forgot all about mediafire and the other sites. Thanks!
Edit: Done!

I don't think I'll make the deadline guys.
I hope to see decent levels in this contest though.

Vanishing Bulborb · Postby **Vanishing Bulborb** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 1:39 pm

I'll enter this contest, I just hope I can finish my level in time.

Bomber57 · Postby **Bomber57** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 4:43 pm

I don't think I can finish my level this time around. Sorry.

Waddle · Postby **Waddle** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 4:48 pm

With alot of people dropping out, I recommend y'all start your CC11 level now.
Its a shame you can't enter because of planning.

Bomber57 · Postby **Bomber57** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 5:13 pm

I don't think I can finish because it came so damn early and at the worst time. I know Valtteri has his own life complications and had to do it early but really if it was that big of an issue he should have handed off the hosting to someone else.

Choco · Postby **Choco** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 9:45 pm

I probably won't be able to finish my level. This is why I made a bad LJ on the old NSMBX, I'm too much of a procrastinator. Don't completely count me out, there's a small chance of me finishing.
