SMC - Quest to Valtteri (Hiatus!)

I said when we're gonna release the project it will come inside an exclusive SMBX folder with LunaDLL. That makes it easier to let people play the game and download LunaDL at the same time. And just like what FanofSMBX said it's an advantage to the players to expirence the game better.

I don't think LunaDLL is nessecary, plus not many people know how to use it.

Ok, here are my thoughts about LunaDLL, along with my resolution regarding the implement of the such.

LunaDLL allows you to add custom stuff into SMBX, which is certainly a great advantage upon other projects/episodes that do not make good use or simply don't use it at all. It is simply an addition that lets you make more stuff, and therefore, it makes the project/episode more unique. I, to be honest like the idea of making such program, and to be even more honest, I wouldn't care to actually implement it in this very Collab Project ... if I weren't against the idea. LunaDLL certainly lets you add more stuff into levels and worlds and really lets you add more stuff that you normally wouldn't be able without it, but the one and only con, which is the main reason why I neglect to use it after thinking it a little bit, is the complexity of its use. Precisely because there are people that don't know how to implement it, or simply can't find a way to install it correctly, that small percentage of the people wouldn't be able to play the Collab Project correctly.

Sure, if they can't install it it's because they might have done something wrong, or maybe because their computer can't stand it, but it's not their fault, and therefore they should have the privilege to play the project normally. So, I'm afraid the implementation of such program will be from now on out of my plans. Sorry to those that actually wanted to make this project more unique, but I can't make both sides happy, and honestly, I'd prefer the episode to be played by everyone and less original that being more original and playable by a few people.

EDIT: Oh, and welcome Wizard, our new Judge.

I have to apologize for overreacting to the implementation of LunaDLL, it's just that I am outraged with it after how I can't work it on my computer. I'm glad that you're one of the only ones here who accept what users say, I appreciate that.

@Blueoak & Darkonius: You want to run as one of the Four Kings. If that's the case I'll be adding you, but dunno if consider this a joke up to now, you can't vote for yourself or any other that did not decide to run for it.

@LitDude & zlakerboy357: Indeed, as Emral said, if you both would like to be Level Judges you'd need to send me two level reviews along the levels those two reviews refer to. Emral made it in because he sent me two reviews on the IRC, you should do the same.

Also, to those that have a sprite and would like to send it to me to save it in the main project folder, please be so by PM.

that wasn't a joke, i really want to be one of the kings lol

For the users, Adventures of Krystine 2 has Chad, Taok Road has many different Taok people, Valtteri's Graphics Pack and The Unlimited Gfx Pack both have loads of users.

In Yoshis Island X with lunadll, I've...
Made section 3 autoscroll
Made Ludwig take 5 hits
I'm trying to make Bowser have half health
Doesn't that sound cool?

Time for Designing Stuff!
And now, since this project won't be just plain elections, I'm going to explain how will the level/world map submission system will be. People are free to submit levels for this project by now, but having in mind their levels will be displayed for W1, so keep in mind that the difficulty and theme should fit for it. W1 is a Grassland/Lake themed world, so please try to stick with those themes for your levels.

Levels shall stick with the following format:

• It MUST have 5 Dragon Coins. Since there are people that might want to place Dragon Coins I'd rather ask as a requirement the placement of such instead of having some levels without them.
• The level exit MUST be a SMB3 Roulette. Secret Exits shall be handled with the SMW Exit.
• In case you'd like to make a SMW level, keep in mind to use SMB3 recolored graphics as this project will be entirely SMB3 styled/recolored.
• The use of LunaDLL is NOT allowed. You may not use it for any of your levels as some people have trouble trying to install LunaDLL or simply applying it to play other levels/projects.

As long as your level follows this format, any other addition is allowed. You may use different graphics for your Dragon Coins as well.

Once you're done with any level you have finished, send it to me and I shall send it to all the Judges. Keep in mind that I won't be accepting levels until we get all spots filled, so I'd thank those who do not send any level to me just yet.

W1 - Art Board Plains
Levels Sent 0/8

Well, Can we use different amounts of Dragon coins if we use custom graphics? Such as moon coins/Star Coins. 3 of them is normal ad all. Also, is Stars aloud in the level? Also, I sent in the things I wanted to be, Final/main antagonist, queen, and level judge. [Fujiwara is female, I am male!] Also, What World is Ice? Can I apply for World Map Creator as well?

I can see your opinion. In my level, there are Slash the Snake coins with the same purpose.

I have an idea! A worldmap contest! And the winner's world map is the episode's world map.

silent_ · Postby **silent_** » Sun May 04, 2014 4:23 pm

After we make a level for this project, are we allowed to put them in the Levels section?

I was hosting a World map contest, but no one ever joined. Can I use the World map I am using for my episode for my entry?

I have an idea for World One's boss: A giant Nameuser named Kraiduser.

Why can't I use lunadll if I can get it working? It rocks!

Fuyu · Postby **Fuyu** » Sun May 04, 2014 5:28 pm

@MECHADRAGON777: You can see how you're required to make a level 5 Dragon Coins by just looking at the format I've just shown. So sorry, such gimmick you had in mind has to be changed. Sorry, but you can only apply as one of them at a time. It would be weird if you were selected for both, even if I doubt it would actually occur. So yeah, you should choose only one of them. Also, your reviews are currently being reviewed, so you should be patient. Unfortunately, there's no Ice World for the moment, but I'll see if I can add an Ice World. Yeah, everyone is allowed to make World Maps. I'll check all of the World Maps sent and I'll decide along the judges which shall remain as the original World Map.

@Wizard: I wouldn't mind, this isn't a contest after all.

@Murphmario: I have not planned any boss fight for the moment, but I truly want some people from the forums to be bosses.

@FanofSMBX: Read my previous post about LunaDLL, that shall answer your question.

I call making 1-1. Also known as Genetic Grass Level.

MrPunchia · Postby **MrPunchia** » Sun May 04, 2014 5:56 pm

I call making 1-7. It's called Spring Shore, and I was making it this whole time.

Same with Genetic Grass Level. It uses nothing custom. That's right, nothing custom! AND no clash. Also, there is a mini boss fight against Birdo at the end.

And I call making Valtteri's Caverns. Also known as 1-5. Has nothing to do with Valtteri other than the name.
