I have several question about both SMBX and about those forums...

Postby Lucario » Sat Dec 12, 2020 10:55 am

1 - What's a devkit? :?:
2 - Why do I can't play a SLAM level without it? :?:
3 - What's Project: SLAM :?:
4 - Where do I download the latest version of this devkit? :?:
5 - How does Enjl's Spawn Zones work? I've been tried to figured out in like, a year... :?:
6 - If a post gets forgotten and your question/request isn't answered, can you repost it? :?:
7 - And lastly, what's a rank? I just changed from Goomba to Shy Guy so I noticed the existance of this thing. :?:

Please answer those questions. It would really help me! :D

1) The devkit is a bunch of custom assets that are supposed to be the main characteristic of SLAM. Although not all levels were built around it and parts of it have become basegame (e.g. sticky blocks)

3) SLAM is a community project that exists for 1.5 years and after reaching around 50 submissions, it's closed now.

6) After a longer timeframe you can either make a new topic or bump the old topic. (But by long, I mean really long, not just a few days)

7) Ranks are leveled up once you pass a certain number of posts. The distances grow over time. There are also special ranks.

The rest needs to be answered by someone with more experience. I also thought spawnzones were basegame but now I can't find them anywhere.

5 - How does Enjl's Spawn Zones work? I've been tried to figured out in like, a year... :?:
He has a topic where he posted them, go check out that topic in the LunaLua subforum
6 - If a post gets forgotten and your question/request isn't answered, can you repost it? :?:
Bumping threads is generally fairly annoying and not something you should be asking in the SLAM forum where the only topics were supposed to be level submissions
7 - And lastly, what's a rank? I just changed from Goomba to Shy Guy so I noticed the existance of this thing. :?:
It's decided by post count. Please ask forum-type questions in SITE DISCUSSION!

2) Because that's the reason a devkit exists. A devkit contains certain stuff that is used in a Project and without these certain stuff won't work correctly.
I suggest checking it's thread out viewtopic.php?p=350010#p350010 it showcases stuff like boost blocks which aren't basegame just like spawnzones.

3) viewtopic.php?f=103&t=23965 the same thread again since it's basically the ground up for Slam. The short overview is this "Welcome to the project thread for Super Linguini And Macaroni, or as it will be referred to from now on SLAM. This is a project being led by me with the goal of increasing the amount of creative levels in the SMBX community, anybody is welcome to submit levels to it and even if they're not accepted, feedback will be given for them to improve their design in the future.

There is currently no planned world theming, order or level count, currently the first priority is just to get levels done and see what we'll do from there. There is no real story either, nor any stylistic limitations.
There is a devkit for you to use when creating levels which includes several new blocks and BGOs, each with specific functionality which caters to making interesting gameplay "

5) Basically what Tltimelord said so check it out: viewtopic.php?t=23984
