[worthy rivet]

Cow dairy, bird (including egg), and legumes

[upper stirrup]

ok i think the layout is done

[cloud remnant]

now do the fun part of making the layout look good and make sense fundementally

[upper stirrup]

if any of you wanna try it

[worthy rivet]

I’ll try it when I wake up

I’ll give feedback and stuff too

[upper stirrup]

"fun"

[worthy rivet]

But I’m in bed

[upper stirrup]

sick, thank you!

[cloud remnant]

it is fun atleast for me

[cloud remnant]

i hate that discord rolled back their updates of upload size

[upper stirrup]

heres a showcase video https://youtu.be/AE3KklHosLQ

obviously not the dev route

[cloud remnant]

the good old fall through the platform strat

[upper stirrup]

i used the right clip right?

[cloud remnant]

if u were suppose to fallthrough the platform yes

get some sleep

[upper stirrup]

omg i didnt use the right clip

[cloud remnant]

lol

[upper stirrup]

that platform should have collision idk why it doesnt

[cloud remnant]

theres 2 parts to the platofrem

the top

and theedge

[upper stirrup]

you right

[cloud remnant]

u have to doubleclick both

[upper stirrup]

yeah the top didnt have it

[cloud remnant]

https://youtu.be/2t4iASdEmow

theres a fair few items like that

[upper stirrup]

BRUH WTF

YOURS IS SO MUCH BETTER

[cloud remnant]

yeh but ive got a few level experience

u shouldve seen my first levels

[upper stirrup]

thats so mean

[cloud remnant]

#1277833758392848395 #1281836194170273854 #1268872731886358579 #1271747634540838934

[upper stirrup]

i honestly wouldnt be suprised if that was a actual level in the game

[cloud remnant]

and one of them was a remaster of my playdoh looking ass levels

https://youtu.be/60g4bi3auLM

[upper stirrup]

dude

thats insane

[cloud remnant]

persistance and dedication helps, usually ill start soemthing and give up cause im no good, but i genuinly enjoy making levels so much

[upper stirrup]

its pretty fun yea

what material does the Citizen_Of_The_Seas use? i cant find it

[cloud remnant]

u will need to make a mat

[upper stirrup]

well its there but its blank

[cloud remnant]

so right click in the folder of the boat

create> material

then it will bring up

the material u wanna drag COTS_summer_white_albedo

on to the base map

and the cots normal onto the normal map

\

[upper stirrup]

wait what?

[upper stirrup]

ok but how do i put COTS_summer_white_albedo on the mat

[cloud remnant]

u will need to create one

its stupid things

if ur tryna use the one that comes in the folder dont

drag this into the boats folder

[upper stirrup]

it didnt seem to do anything

[cloud remnant]

-_-

[upper stirrup]

sorry

[cloud remnant]

ok just make a material by right clicking in the folder name it somehting then drag the textures in the sail boats folder

u will need to learn it for the most of the assets

[upper stirrup]

man im going to bed

[cloud remnant]

go to bed lmao

[upper stirrup]

i can figure it out in the morning

[cloud remnant]

it already is for ya -_-

[upper stirrup]

Oh yeah

[quiet hill]

Oh no she put u on the waitlist thats even worse

[cloud remnant]

ya didnt have to tell them like that -_-

[outer pasture]

My strat is always to straight up say "Hey i know you arent interested in dating but I still like you. Is it fine if I ghost for a few days so i can stop liking you?"

Usually people understand that

Bro @cloud remnant do you not need sleep???

Youve been on for so long

[cloud remnant]

i live in aus

and i wake up at like 7am

mostly 5.30-6.30 tho

and go to bed at 10.30

so

[outer pasture]

Oh so i guess its just like almost australian bedtime now

[cloud remnant]

yeh the other terrioties not In WA its only 8.30pm rn

fucken english man

im also terminally online when im not working

[outer pasture]

Im literally at work at this very moment

So happy to have a job that doesnt watch what im doing every minute

[cloud remnant]

yah i stack shelves when im actually working but my mental health is deciding to be all over the place so im off for 2 weeks

i wish i wasnt constantly stalked tho sounds good

[outer pasture]

Yeah ive been working at my place for over a year and my boss has shown up exactly once

[cloud remnant]

lol sounds like the dream

[outer pasture]

Every day i think about how worth the time and money it was to be a CS major

[golden oyster]

Does anyone know which object this is?

Been trying to find it

[coarse holly]

its a very stretched heaven_arches_small_end thats half in the wall

heres a clearer pic of the scale

[outer pasture]

Oh the devs were stretching shit weird ways too? Makes me feel a little better

[worthy rivet]

I thought that was like wayyy better

[quiet hill]

One of em is sayin straight up no, this thing is her sayin mmmmm mayyyybeee

That keeps u hooked

To somth thats not guaranteed

[worthy rivet]

Ye but if you like her and yall get along well anyways it’s worth it waiting and it shows that she likes you to some extent too

But I also don’t fully know the extent or mental strain of a crush because I’ve never actually had one

[sullen ruin]

I agree w both sentiments

it could feel like hell and anxiety bc it could just be leading you on for skemthjnf that isn't guaranteed

[worthy rivet]

I think it’s a good sign if it doesn’t hurt you if it goes poorly

[sullen ruin]

but if by miracle it's available after the fact it will feel great

[quiet hill]

I think getting hooked is bad idk

I get what u mean

That it can pay off

But what if not

[worthy rivet]

If it crushes you then I’d say be open to her about it and disengage so you can stop liking her

[quiet hill]

Then u wasted a lot of time waiting for someone else and pretty much reserving urself to someone

[worthy rivet]

That’s just life it’s not like it’s that bad unless you like ignore other people while waiting

[quiet hill]

Im just sayin is worse

[worthy rivet]

I just don’t think you have to reserve yourself you should probably stop actively looking but if you find someone else yall arnt really a thing

[quiet hill]

Not that its alway gonna ve bad

[worthy rivet]

I just think it’s better it’s only worse if you don’t know your own emotional limits

[quiet hill]

ig

[coarse holly]

all my grass objects have mesh collider

theres like 2k-3k of em

[upper stirrup]

…

That’s not great

I swear half the time my mesh colliders don’t do shit

[coarse holly]

maybe i shouldnt have clicked delete on all of them

[upper stirrup]

[nova pollen]

I wouldn't bother LOL

[quiet hill]

What

[upper stirrup]

A lot of grass

[coarse holly]

oh it finished

YIPPEE

im safe

[upper stirrup]

[sinful kraken]

grass

[coarse holly]

time to readd all the grass without meshcollider

[upper stirrup]

…

[coarse holly]

ok mayb not lmao

[upper stirrup]

Ok thank god

[coarse holly]

i didnt mean to add meshcollider lol

[worthy rivet]

the lvl isnt showing up in my list for some reason

this should be work

[coarse holly]

chat do i hide a boof in my level

is it worth it

[unique osprey]

yes

[coarse holly]

nearing completion

[upper stirrup]

oh weird

sorry i just saw this

gimme a sec

[worthy rivet]

i sent this like 40 minutes ago without a ping i was in no hurry so dw

[upper stirrup]

thats not normal

i have a backup one sec

those should work

did it?

Also how does my level get its own dedicated thread?

[unique osprey]

Try @ winter or sth probs need map maker role to make a post

After you finish your level*

[worthy rivet]

let me try

[upper stirrup]

Oh well it’s not technically finished

The layout is but not the deco

[worthy rivet]

ye ye

youve only had like 2 days

[upper stirrup]

That’s true

[worthy rivet]

i still doesnt appear idk why

[upper stirrup]

That’s really odd

Whetstone just doesn’t show up at all?

[worthy rivet]

nope

[cloud remnant]

Showed up as water for me

[upper stirrup]

Yeah that used to be the name

Look for that rq

[cloud remnant]

thats odd

[worthy rivet]

like this should work right

[upper stirrup]

it should yeah

anytime i export a new version it just goes back to this

[worthy rivet]

huh

[coarse holly]

is the (1) and (2) being there fine

[upper stirrup]

try this and tell me what you see

i misspelled it lmao

[worthy rivet]

still dont see it

[upper stirrup]

dude wtf

im actually tweaking

[coarse holly]

you can get the Map Maker Role in the Channels and Roles channel

[upper stirrup]

hype

thanks

can someone else test the level too see if its something im doing wrong or maybe he might be messing up a bit

i doubt it but we can see

[stiff cape]

I could be dumb but what happens if you rename level (2).json to level.json

[worthy rivet]

it shouldnt effet anything

effect

[upper stirrup]

I’m just going to take a break

[worthy rivet]

breaks are good

you still got 4 days

[cloud remnant]

only buildings and a few chains....

[outer pasture]

unity do be like that sometimes

[cloud remnant]

probs reflection probes

[outer pasture]

just tested my level a bit and its making me wanna actually just play neon white and not work on this

[cloud remnant]

i get the opposite ill play the game and wanna create a level as good as it

[outer pasture]

nah i think my level is gonna actually be cheeks but I just like playing neon white

[golden oyster]

The folder this asset was in was zipped for some reason, so it never appeared until I searched for it manually 😭

[coarse holly]

oh rip

[cloud remnant]

yeh idk why it was done like that im thinking about organising everything and packaging all the assets with mats to be more noob friendly

the folders are a mess rn

[outer pasture]

oh that just reminded me, anyone know where to find floor/ceiling assets that have that square hole for a glass pane?

[cloud remnant]

what

oh in concrete assets

like these?

[outer pasture]

yeah exactly

[cloud remnant]

port concrete assets

theres no glass pane for them

but u can greate a square and texture it with glass

[outer pasture]

yeah theres also already panes in the default stuff thats here when you make the project

also I think there is no glass in that one cause it wasnt sized for a glass platform

[cloud remnant]

im lost

[outer pasture]

im talking about like a floor with a square hole where glass pane would go

like that one will work

maybe im just imagining that being something that exists in the game

like I know there is one on mirror but they put 4 panes in it

[cloud remnant]

oh i think i get yta

this but with the glass panes

[outer pasture]

yeah kinda

I mean the glass panes would be seperate objects regardless

but yeah i was looking for the thing that would go around it

[cloud remnant]

yeh there 4 breakable platforms

ill try and look for it rq

[outer pasture]

not even looking for the mirror ones specifically just like any one

[cloud remnant]

yah theyll all be the same thing

[outer pasture]

id like a hanging gardens one but idk if that exists tbh

[cloud remnant]

theres a hanging gardens light that is similiar

[outer pasture]

a light??

where a glass pane goes?

[outer pasture]

oh shit yeah thats perfect

what asset is that?

[cloud remnant]

check the stuff folder on the drive 2 secs

idk if i uploaded it

[outer pasture]

totally forgot about the drive ngl

[cloud remnant]

i havent got mat but its probally some metal mat

yeh i didnt upload it so just did to the drive

ik the asset thats on mirror i just forgot thename\

i should really inst all unity explorer but ik ill forget its in my mods folder

found it

its just 4 of these

not sure about the mat tho

[upper stirrup]

I have a question for the contest, How will the pay be distributed? Like is it a Steam gift card or will it be sent through PayPal or something

[weak pagoda]

paypal or steam gift card :P

if needed we could figure something else out

[upper stirrup]

Ok, thank you so much!

Just looked outside a tinted window so the sky looked kinda green I was like “omg neon green”

It’s so joever

[cloud bane]

im probably gonna drop a few images of my map in a few hours 👀

everyone will have to ignore the slight lack of detailing in areas for now tho :p

the scale will be unlike anything seen before (hopefully)

[upper stirrup]

oh wow, exciting

[unique osprey]

is it possible to export faster, like an efficiency mode

if I move one thing for example

does it do the entire process from scratch?

[cloud bane]

im guessing not but i wish that was the case, yes it does it from scratch

whenever i wanna test a small change i just put it off until i add a bunch of new stuff

[upper stirrup]

dude its so annoying when i need to just move something

its so slow

[cloud bane]

slow to move it in unity or slow to export the whole thing after moving it?

[upper stirrup]

exporting

sorry shouldve specified

[unique osprey]

like for laying out demons its hard for me to properly gauge the distances for like, level feel

without exporting and playing the section through

and then slightly moving and adjusting

[upper stirrup]

yeah

[upper stirrup]

i like your pfp btw

[gritty pulsar]

yeah I struggle with depth in unity too

[cloud bane]

thank you 😄 (I’m a diehard jjk fan)

[upper stirrup]

i recently got into it

havent read the manga but my friend keeps spoiling it for me

[cloud bane]

I keep up to date with the manga, not because I want to but because I’ll get spoiled otherwise

I have twitter, yt and insta with jjk stuff in my feed so I know I can’t get away with not reading it

[upper stirrup]

yeah

i should keep up with it

but i dont

MY LEVEL WONT UPDATE WTF

im so tired of this

[gritty pulsar]

I gotta sleep but there is a few reasons why that might be

easiest would be you didn't drag and drop the two new files

[upper stirrup]

I definitely am😶

[gritty pulsar]

uh did you try making a new map?

cause that's how I got myself in a mess with having it not update properly

there's an faq thing for it in the guide iirc

[upper stirrup]

Um I don’t think I made a new one

Might be wrong tho

[gritty pulsar]

like you have to call it something specific

[upper stirrup]

I name my variations different things

Most of the time

[gritty pulsar]

is it called CustomLevel in your scene?

[upper stirrup]

No

Atleast I don’t think so I’m not in my room rn

[gritty pulsar]

yeahh the unity scene file has to be called that

I don't know why that's an issue but that's what caused me to no longer be able to update the map

[upper stirrup]

Ok I can check that in a minute

[gritty pulsar]

this is how it looks in my folder if that helps

nearly 5am so I gotta crash

[upper stirrup]

Yeah please sleep

i was working in a different scene

can i transfer all my work to the actual CustomLevel scene?

[cloud bane]

my best guess is just to try control c v everything from one scene to another

if that doesnt work see if u can drag it into the CustomLevel scene (unity likes it when u drag things)

[upper stirrup]

what if i were to rename the scene ive been working on to CustomLevel

[cloud bane]

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

try it out i guess???

but maybe be ready to undo that in case it breaks everything

idrk how that works

[tawdry basin]

that works fine

just rename the old scene to something else and then new one to CustomLevel

[upper stirrup]

saw this way too late

basically got everything back :/

[upper stirrup]

do i need a mods permission to make my level thread

didnt really think about that b4 making it

[nova pollen]

no

you're free to create it, you can also tag it im pretty sure as well

[upper stirrup]

yeah i did

can everyone just see it?

[nova pollen]

yes everyone can see it

[upper stirrup]

cool

thank you for all your help

[cloud bane]

dropping some images soon (they wont have much to show, i dont wanna spoil too much 😄

👀

a very small snapshot of my map 😄

[upper stirrup]

Piss water

[cloud bane]

ITS GOLDEN

(i knew this would be said almost immediately 😂 )

[upper stirrup]

Lmao I’m just being a bastard, Looks good

[cloud bane]

thanks! (plus i knew people would make that joke, dont call yourself a bastard :D)

[upper stirrup]

Nah I think it’s funny

[harsh matrix]

docked on peepee island

[cloud bane]

now thats a new one 💯

[upper stirrup]

Dude

[harsh matrix]

pen island

throwback

[upper stirrup]

Flabbergasted

[cloud remnant]

jarate water

[cloud remnant]

last 2 screenshots feels like some shit u would see in an youtube arg vid

[unique osprey]

Thoughts on 2 part levels?

[cloud remnant]

uhhh why

is it a change for skybox

or just like a storey type thing

[unique osprey]

Story thing

[cloud remnant]

yeh ive done that somewhat

[unique osprey]

Do 1 section, hit a TP, do a completely different type of section

[cloud remnant]

oh like that yeh its good

[unique osprey]

but it seems like a more annoying gimmick than fyn to play

I mean from the perspective of playing it

[cloud remnant]

shits starting to take a minute just to load unity

[upper stirrup]

Dyamn

[cloud remnant]

-_- realised everything has a blue tint cause of reflection probes and the ground

[unique osprey]

Does anyone have that big building from sweep

Or uh, how can I get that

[cloud remnant]

what one

[unique osprey]

The left one with all the open sides

[cloud remnant]

aight

[unique osprey]

the pieces to this

[cloud remnant]

the uv is messed up

wait the whole thing?

its just different meshes

[unique osprey]

like the pieces

[cloud remnant]

yeh u will needa recreate that

[unique osprey]

ya thats fine

[cloud remnant]

the pieces for it is in the drive

[unique osprey]

Also the buildings aren't like, hollow for me

am I missing something for that?

[cloud remnant]

yeh cause there only hollow cause they use it as the outside

so basically u wanna have for in a squar for them to make up the hollow

[unique osprey]

do you mean like a boolean operation?

[cloud remnant]

ur overthinking it and im not explaining correct

u wanna use these blocks to form the outisde

if u recreate the block how they r in game itll form the building gaps

u could search for like 2 hours and try and find the combined mesh but there not named and usually theres like 4 combined meshes for 1 building

[unique osprey]

I just mean, like, how do I place demons inside

I can't tell where the floor is

Also are you saying that, when I export, the game will hollow out the block itself

[cloud remnant]

u dont its not hollow

u wanna use the blocks as u would bricks irl

u build it from the outside perspective and it will form the inside perspective

[unique osprey]

Omg I just realised whats going on

[cloud remnant]

building interiors is a pain in the ass which is why its rarley used

in base game

[unique osprey]

Those are the ugly blocks from like Prepare

That just aren't hollow in base game

[cloud remnant]

nothing is hollow ingame except city assets for the most part

[unique osprey]

Sorry, where can I find these arches then? I just want to build some very open floors

in a tower

I only see these big bricks in "Garden Assets"

[cloud remnant]

they look like stretched arches from eye

[nova pollen]

could be

[cloud remnant]

u just use sandstone on it

[nova pollen]

if you can, try to use assetexplorer

and go to that level and explore what it is

[unique osprey]

Wait I think it just clicked, are those arches from heaven level, with sandstone material

[nova pollen]

yup

[cloud remnant]

hol on i got them

[nova pollen]

You would not believe it but genuinely a LOT of assets from the game are reused

Like it's so noticeable when you actually start making levels I feel like

[cloud remnant]

these arches r probally the only ones in chapter 6 and 7 that are actually different

[unique osprey]

Ahh I just realised how this works, I hadn't been thinking of the blocks and materials separately

I thought they were like the same thing

[nova pollen]

Naahh

[cloud remnant]

its honestly one of the hardest things building an interiror with assets that are mainly used for the outside astetic

[unique osprey]

I'm still learning slowly, tyvm again

[nova pollen]

that's why building exterior levels is the new meta

(I think)

[cloud remnant]

fr

[nova pollen]

wtf?!?!?

[unique osprey]

oh shit that's beautiful

[nova pollen]

I'm honestly very glad the editing experience has been better and better for people

[cloud remnant]

IM TRYINg to help as many people as i can

broken ass caps lock

[nova pollen]

Like if a lot of people here who chatted since the start of the level jam submit, we could have like 8-10+ levels

[quiet hill]

Why it blue

[quiet hill]

This is so good

[nova pollen]

it's aquatic, no ???

[unique osprey]

why the lil bros at the back

[quiet hill]

true

[cloud remnant]

dont fucken know

[quiet hill]

My level is still not aquatic 💔💔

[upper stirrup]

dude your interiors are top notch

[quiet hill]

Did u upload the window assets?

[cloud remnant]

the outside is ass

[cloud remnant]

nah the uv map is messed up on the edges

i can tho

[upper stirrup]

hey, still looks better than my map lol

[quiet hill]

Do plss

[cloud remnant]

yeh but ive got like 7 map lead

[unique osprey]

oh wait are you making a NEW competition map?

[upper stirrup]

thats true

[cloud remnant]

ook ill upload gimme a sec

[cloud remnant]

no

just for fun

i said i wasnt gonna make a map for a while but that didnt work out well did it

[upper stirrup]

lol

[cloud remnant]

cant stop making

[cloud remnant]

uploaded

[quiet hill]

Tyy

[cloud remnant]

uk you have spent long looking at assets when u can eyeball 90 percent of items

[quiet hill]

When i play levels now i can recognize assets too 😭

[cloud remnant]

u can use the glass thats used for the glass platforms

yeh like why do i know what sheol_arches look like

[nova pollen]

The environment artist that I sent the custom levels for has not responded to me in a while ... probably cause I attached some medal links to it LOL

[cloud remnant]

lol would they ever

[nova pollen]

No I just think it ended up in their spam folder

Like the environment artist when I first messaged them got back to me in less than an hour

Unironically

[cloud remnant]

oh thats pretty cool then

im not tripping in that it looks blue no

like its gotta be the glass port floor reflection orsmth

[unique osprey]

Is there a tool to snap objects to others in unity?

[cloud remnant]

hold v at the corners and use cursor

everything reflects the glor floor and it does my head in

[unique osprey]

i was wondering how they lined things up so well in game....

they fucking didn't and i can't unsee it now

[cloud remnant]

yeh once u anaylse alot u will realise how weird its made

my favorite is the first level of chapter 2 has a waterway that goes through the wall

[unique osprey]

LMAO

[golden oyster]

Is that behind you at the start? 😭

[cloud remnant]

yeh

[golden oyster]

Great hiding spot 🤓

[nova pollen]

patiently waiting til the end of the level jam to release some new level editor bits and bobs

so far what i think i could do:

• let people make yellow sidequest type levels
• possibly make gifts work for custom levels?

[cloud bane]

wait thats actually insane

i see why you would wait until after the level jam

[nova pollen]

ye i kinda don't wanna bring all of this stuff mid-level jam LOL

cause it would fuck up the flow for so many people i can imagine

[cloud bane]

yeah bc everyone would wanna implement that stuff in some capacity

i would have tried to add a present to my level too lol

[cloud remnant]

yeh gifts

also just found out that some of warehouse has no collision

[weak pagoda]

mhm

the sesh room

[cloud remnant]

they straight up forgor the mesh on the arches

[unique osprey]

I can’t find large middle heaven arches in the asset folder from the drive

Is it just not there

[cloud bane]

ok here's another image drop for my level before i go to sleep (its midnight for me :p)

[cloud bane]

i cant be bothered to search the drive so heres the file from my assets

when i downloaded the heaven assets all the arches stuff was within another zipped file if that helps at all

for me it was in that second zipped file, idk if its been changed

[weak pagoda]

woaaahh

looking good!

[cloud bane]

thanks!

detailing is going to be a monumental task though

[weak pagoda]

i believe

[cloud remnant]

amogus

[outer pasture]

Hold on a minute "left click to stomp"?

If you somehow changed the controls thats so cursed

[cloud bane]

nah I didn’t change the controls, it’s more like making new ones entirely 👀

u will see soon (in 3 days max)

(but it’s not actually different controls in game)

[outer pasture]

I gotta lock in and finish my level man

Its so small im just lazy

[quiet hill]

Gifts would be so hype

Do u think there could be a way to adding tutorial cards?

[nova pollen]

they are TECHNICALLY cards, they should work the same way as the regular cards but im genuinely not sure

i'll have to play around with them

[gritty pulsar]

think I gotta accept my map is gunna be the ugliest 🙃

[stiff cape]

Gifts are gonna be so much fun

[harsh matrix]

Sus…

[lament raven]

since a lot of my level is indoors, im having real problems with lighting, can i add light sources ?

[harsh matrix]

You can

They function as assets you can just drop them in

I have some point lights in my level to help with direction

[lament raven]

ive added a guy at the top of the room but it doesnt seem to do anything

i got it

needs to be a direction light it seems like

[harsh matrix]

You probably just need to up the intensity or the range a fuck ton

Sometimes lights need huge numbers to actually be seen

A directional light is gonna affect your entire scene just fyi

Not only where you place it

But if that’s what you want then it’s chill

If there’s anything I actually know how to do it’s lighting since that’s a big part of what I do in college lol

[outer pasture]

I cant remember, are ace medals supposed to be like you performing the original route really well or are they supposed to be timed around the route you would be doing after having the hint?

[nova pollen]

ye it's more like

try to get a fast time using the intended route

[outer pasture]

got it

luckily dev medal is easy it just means i need to lock in

[nova pollen]

ye u can make dev medal whatever ur fastest time is lol

i sometimes put in times not even im sure im able to get for fun

[outer pasture]

absolute villain behavior

[sturdy cobalt]

on some topaz shit

[nova pollen]

me when i make half of the topaz medals times lower than dolphin's by .001

[harsh matrix]

I could be evil and put it at my fastest DNFs lol

which is like 2 seconds faster than my current pb

[outer pasture]

how long is your level?

[harsh matrix]

my best time rn is just under 20 seconds

[outer pasture]

oh so like a pretty mid length level

[harsh matrix]

yeah

[outer pasture]

I had no idea how long it would be with the flying card thing

[harsh matrix]

it really depends on how much you greed it

[quiet hill]

Wait how do u add light

source

[coarse holly]

right click in hierarchy then click Light

like fufa said earlier, for some of the lights you have to really crank up the range and intensity for it to be visible

[quiet hill]

Ok!

[coarse holly]

like rn i have one at around 1k intensity and the other two close to 5k

[quiet hill]

Hopefully this is usefull for what im tryin to achieve

3 days left :(((((

[coarse holly]

when using spot lights*

[coarse holly]

gl

what texture do these sconce plants use?

[cloud remnant]

ivy

[coarse holly]

ty

[cloud remnant]

i need to touch grass ive put like 5 days into a level and its almost finisheed

well

my asset studio is broken

[coarse holly]

uh oh

i can export what ur looking for

[cloud remnant]

just gonna reinstall

[coarse holly]

o ok

[cloud remnant]

nothing i just wanna test if they can export animations properlly since they have an option in the export tab

[coarse holly]

ah

that would be cool

[cloud remnant]

because i tried animating the boats and that shits hard

[coarse holly]

by animating u just mean them moving around n stuff right

[cloud remnant]

yeh they do it on glass port

[coarse holly]

isnt there an elevate in the template scene that moves around like that

in more of a cycle but

[cloud remnant]

yeh using dangle mover but theres no tutorial for that exact thing and it seems to be animated ingame

[coarse holly]

ic

[cloud remnant]

bro the font used is bugging

Hopefully pc restart will fix it

pc issue

[upper stirrup]

i mightve fucked up..

i dont think i saved in unity last night

[cloud remnant]

and this is why i ctrl s every change

[outer pasture]

any export should have saved automatically im pretty sure

unless you made a lot of changes without doing an export then shut off your computer in which case 😬

[upper stirrup]

i have the level in my game but i want to make a few changes in unity

thats what didnt save

[outer pasture]

wait so export doesnt save?

weird, the little star always seems to disappear when i export but maybe im just reflexively saving

[upper stirrup]

idk

[worthy rivet]

YESSSSS GIFTTTTSSSSS

YIPPPPEEEEEE

[unique osprey]

Ahh I meant heaven_arches_large_pillar

Does anyone know where large pillar is

ffs i mistyped twice

the thing that goes under this to make like a bridge

[gritty pulsar]

scale it

[worthy rivet]

with this event the building tools are more known so making a lvl is easier right?

[gritty pulsar]

I know nothing except the tools are hard

feels like trying to paint the mona lisa with a shovel

[unique osprey]

scaling isn't right it distorts the edges

[gritty pulsar]

rip

[coarse holly]

what about the heaven_pillar_square ones?

they have pieces but they look pretty bulky

[unique osprey]

Ooooo I think that'll work ty!

they are bulky but better than nothing

I hadn't even seen this folder yet

[gritty pulsar]

I think I have made a fun stage, but detailing and texture work on it looks bad, and I have no clue how lighting works in unity
anyone else not using default assets?

[coarse holly]

im using a few imported ones

just some fish and rocks n stuff

[coarse holly]

alot of times i made a new material for specific blocks using the existing textures then messed with the tiling until it looked right

in my case it was with the round garden blocks

[cloud remnant]

neither which is why i havent touched it

lighting is funky

[gritty pulsar]

2/6 of my lights work

no clue what's different about em

[coarse holly]

setting this pb to my red would actually be a war crime

disgusting pb

[coarse holly]

are all of ur lights trying to be the same

or are the other 4 for doing smth else

[unique osprey]

how do i get this look

.-.

[coarse holly]

i dont think the foam is possible as of now sadly

[unique osprey]

i mean the shape like

[coarse holly]

o

[unique osprey]

my water dispenser isn't hollow either

[cloud remnant]

madmon did water effects

[unique osprey]

kafdldshlsadhf

[cloud remnant]

turn the dispenser around

180 degrees

[coarse holly]

oh sick

[unique osprey]

omfg

[unique osprey]

LOL ty

[cloud remnant]

lol

[unique osprey]

i feel so stupid sometimes while making this level

[cloud remnant]

idk how i would like to know probs unity particle system

its fineg

[coarse holly]

do u know where i can grab madmons foam fx

[cloud remnant]

nope

could probally ask him if he could package it up to use

[unique osprey]

does NN still break RMMBY

[lament raven]

ye

[unique osprey]

aw frick man

[cloud remnant]

could u pretty please package it up i tried recreating it but couldnt, thx

[outer pasture]

bro my level is insanely short with best route

just hit a 4.8 DNF

[coarse holly]

oh i kinda got it working

the particles

very scuffed tho*

what i did was i added a particle system component to the waterfall bend, then under Renderer under Material I added a material with the watersplash texture as the base map

[cloud remnant]

yeh but its u have to stretcht it and make it do funky sutff

[coarse holly]

delbaWow

looks cool

[coarse holly]

oh ye im seeing that now

its like scaling and fading and stuff

[cloud remnant]

yeh

and the randomness of the edges and whatnot

[coarse holly]

man

i think im super close to making it actually look good

the hardest part is making it fade

cause theres a setting to make it more transparent over time but its not doing anything

at least i have pseudo waterfall fx

so we take those

[cloud remnant]

not half bad

would be good for the end waterways underside like ingame

[coarse holly]

how do they do it man

[unique osprey]

erm why do i fall through all my heaven blocks

[weak pagoda]

you gotta add the meshes

[coarse holly]

meshcollider tyshi

[unique osprey]

im sorry idk what that means i thought

the blocks were meshes

[coarse holly]

do you have meshcollider below meshrenderer under components

or both in the components area

order doesnt matter

[unique osprey]

no

[coarse holly]

ye click the mesh until u get the orange outline, then do Add Component --> meshcollider

it should do the rest automatically

[unique osprey]

do i add them to each piece inside block "port_block_08.19"

or just the parent

[coarse holly]

each child

[unique osprey]

whaaa, and do that to EVERYTHING

also why my guardians shy ?

[coarse holly]

if u click the thing you want to be collidable twice so it has an orange outline itll add correctly

[unique osprey]

they're not making eye contact

[coarse holly]

might have to rotate em

idk tho it happens to me too

[coarse holly]

yep

its a good habit to add the meshcollider stuff then copy paste it

[cloud remnant]

autism is strong

but fr turn off is static

[unique osprey]

okok bet ty

[coarse holly]

ooo

should i do that to all of my enemies?

[unique osprey]

would make sense ig

[outer pasture]

this message is so inhenrently funny lmao

[unique osprey]

since static isn't a demon she's a mod developer

[coarse holly]

869 (nice) copies of fish

https://tenor.com/view/five-hundred-cigarettes-bortus-orville-cigarettes-500-gif-7580742793072271551

[unique osprey]

Anyone know why grid snapping isn't toggleable with rotate tool? I have it set to global handle point

[coarse holly]

are you holding ctrl

[unique osprey]

it never mentioned that in the settings D:

tyvm

[coarse holly]

npnp

i didnt learn abt that until like 2 days ago

i knew abt holding ctrl for snapping for like moving

[outer pasture]

I've decided im getting my level done tonight

[coarse holly]

but i never thought it would apply to the other options lol

[coarse holly]

LETSGOOO

i think i might aswell

[outer pasture]

im excited I dont think ive even seen like a sneak peak of yours

[coarse holly]

i can send a clip

if u want

[outer pasture]

nah I think surprise might actually be better

[coarse holly]

this is prolly the most of my level ive shown

[coarse holly]

fair

[outer pasture]

I havent shown even a single object from my level lol my level depends on the surprise

[unique osprey]

I have a big brain idea, set both parts of a waterway to boost, to eliminate edging

[coarse holly]

then they'd just edge on the concrete part no?

[unique osprey]

Wait yeah that wouldn't eliminate it at all that just might make it faster

If i remove collision on the concrete part would that remove it?

[coarse holly]

the concrete on my waterways are collidable but not boostable so you go slow if you try to edge

[coarse holly]

are you already able to edge even with a meshcollider on the concrete?

[unique osprey]

Idk tbh

[outer pasture]

does anyone else have the names on the custom level selector mixed up? Like the button will say the name of one level but on the right where it shows medal info it will show a different level, which is actually the level

[unique osprey]

I don't think so?

mines all working properly it seems

[coarse holly]

that hasnt happened to me :( sorr

[outer pasture]

bro im dumb

I only have 2 levels in mine, and I thought the greyer one was the one i was highlighting

[coarse holly]

doid

lol

[coarse holly]

ok so these 868 fish were under a "parent" fish object right

uhhh

theres a lot more fish now

[unique osprey]

I waited so long to finally fix my water, I didn't realise stretching them would ruin it so much😭

[coarse holly]

NOOOOOOOO

the evil technique

[unique osprey]

thats nearly all my water now D:

[outer pasture]

okay all thats left for me is to get a dev time and I think im ready to release a 1.0 for people to playtest

I think after that Itll just be small edits that people suggest

[unique osprey]

I wanna test it

and snipe early wr ehehe

[coarse holly]

me too!

[outer pasture]

oh wait I dont even have perms to post a level to the custom levels thing

[unique osprey]

@worthy rivet 🙏

[coarse holly]

u dont gotta ping a mod anymoar

[worthy rivet]

you can do it in channel and roles

[coarse holly]

yerp

[outer pasture]

oh i see

[unique osprey]

mb for the ping but also hi o/

[worthy rivet]

faustas was cute so they added it

[worthy rivet]

hi

[unique osprey]

nowonder my water was so stretched

[weak pagoda]

leaaannn

[cloud remnant]

reworked one of the windows

[unique osprey]

would it make my level lag or sth if i just gave everything a meshcollider?

[coarse holly]

not really

unless you add it to a BUNCH of stuff

like alot alot

[cloud remnant]

dont do it on grass clumps or decoration thats dont really need it

[outer pasture]

it really depends what you mean by "everything"

[coarse holly]

^^

[unique osprey]

im thinking every block

[coarse holly]

yea that should be fine

[unique osprey]

like everything even everything below where you should go

[outer pasture]

itll probably be fine

[coarse holly]

ye thats fine

[outer pasture]

I cant remember how big you said your level is but unless its humungous it should be okay

although mesh colliders are generally very inneficient and thats why most games use a collection of square or circular colliders instead since they are much more efficient

but that only tends to matter when you have an insane amount of objects, and especially so if youre making a multiplayer game

[coarse holly]

i still got some grass clumps with meshcollider

guess thats what im gonna be busy doin for the next hour

[unique osprey]

i gave up on my ocean monument idea since im not good enough to make it how i wanted lol

[outer pasture]

im cooking with this dev time I cannot let yall come take record on my level so easy

[unique osprey]

so im making like apartment from wish

[coarse holly]

im making bolt lite

[cloud remnant]

whoever uploaded the zipline stuff i uploaded a package that includes a prefab so people dont have to remake it

[coarse holly]

that was me

ty

[unique osprey]

What’s a prefab vs mesh

[cloud remnant]

a mesh is a part of something prefab is multiple parts of something that makes it easier for importing

so instead of using the 3 parts for the inddicator and combining them, i combined them and u can import it without having to worry

[coarse holly]

oh speaking of prefabs

[coarse holly]

my grass prefab came with meshcollider

wasnt my fault

[cloud remnant]

theres no grass prefabs what

[unique osprey]

Ohhh I see

In Roblox terms, a prefab is a model

[coarse holly]

imported asset

[cloud remnant]

it shouldnt

[coarse holly]

no like its a custom asset

i pulled from unity's page

[cloud remnant]

oh

[outer pasture]

okay I think that Im done but I forgor music

Where do I set music for the custom level?

oh wait its literally right there in the export I just glossed over it with my dumb eyes

[cloud remnant]

yeh

[outer pasture]

what value is it looking for though?

a file?

[coarse holly]

one of these

i think

[outer pasture]

#1283983305317941268 message

Level is posted

first to beat dev time has wr

[cloud remnant]

uploading windows that are reworked as a package

[gritty pulsar]

wait are we allowed to upload contest wips in custom levels?

[weak pagoda]

yes

as long as you dont purposefully show the judges

(asher, dyl, snowyyy, floyd and alpharad)

[tawdry basin]

waterfall effect since people were asking

[cloud remnant]

goat coming through once again

ill upload it to drive if ur ok wit it

[tawdry basin]

yea sure

[sudden sage]

The level I'm working on is almost done, but I need to create the scenery👀 💦

[weak pagoda]

im so excited for all these levels!!

aaahhhh!!

[outer pasture]

im exited to see how the judging pans out lol

if they gave mine a 0/40 I would understand

[weak pagoda]

some will be streamed

most not

and the reveal will be sometime within the following weeks

[golden oyster]

Looking forward to it 👁️👄👁️

[weak pagoda]

me too :D

im also terrified

[outer pasture]

are you also submitting?

[weak pagoda]

nah im the organizer

that'd be "rigged" if i won

[outer pasture]

I guess people would say that lol

even though you arent a judge

[weak pagoda]

plus i got school to focus on lol

[outer pasture]

so ig youre just worried about whether itll all pan out how you envisioned it?

[weak pagoda]

ye

[outer pasture]

I think it should go fine, the only thing I woulda been worried about is number of participants but it looks like there is a good amount of people entering at least

[weak pagoda]

i was worried there would be too many XD

[outer pasture]

??? how many would be too many?

[worthy rivet]

over 20 i wasnt expenting 20

[weak pagoda]

ye

20+ woulda been scary

[outer pasture]

no way a chance at some money is getting 20+ people to figure out unity 3d lol

I think downloading and using unity is a huge hurdle if youve never done it

[weak pagoda]

but money

[outer pasture]

oh yknow what i forgot a lot of people here are students and might not have jobs

maybe youre right

[cloud remnant]

i just did it to be the best

[outer pasture]

I just did it for unity 3d practice tbh

[ashen burrow]

By far the most submissions in a mapping contest so far

afaik

[weak pagoda]

seems like we fell off tbh

[outer pasture]

Hey hey im just waiting to submit in case i change anything in the next 2 days or so

[weak pagoda]

ik im just being silly

[unique osprey]

Are there any super large breakable walls

[outer pasture]

Arena?

[unique osprey]

TRUE

Um where can I find the breakable door types

[outer pasture]

Im not sure but i thought they came in a package

In any case its late 💤💤💤

Hopefully the australians know the answer

[unique osprey]

Hmm I thought I had all the important packages

Anyway, ty and gn

[cloud remnant]

the only breakable we have working is the red square one but u can upsize it if need be

[unique osprey]

Where is it sorry

When i search breakable it doesn't show

[worthy rivet]

aight give a second

ill edit it up

[cloud remnant]

go into the unity packages folder on drive and it install the breakable package

[cloud bane]

does anyone know if the rings used in fireball (the level) are in the drive?

i cant seem to find them anywhere

[unique osprey]

water wheel

[cloud bane]

final image drop before i release my level! the first 3 images are to help understand the scale here (neon white in the first image as a reference)

much more detailing to go though

[unique osprey]

My games not exporting because of "scripts have compile errors in the editor", from adding the breakable walls; the errors clearly because its missing references to the main games classes, in the C# First Assembly, how do I fix this tho

Ig moreso, I get this export error
Error building Player because scripts have compile errors in the editor
caused by this error
Assets\Scripts\BaseDamageable.cs(9,12): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'PlayerCardData' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[sullen ruin]

did you add the entire basedamageable class ripped from like dnspy or smth

u only need a barebones of it iirc

and any dependencies

(incl PlayerCardData

[unique osprey]

neither i just used the asset from the google drive

[sullen ruin]

oh

well then not sure bc idk how it's structured so

[unique osprey]

Okok, ill continue throwing things around till it works :)

[nova pollen]

try using these

wait you're attaching a "basedamageable" to a playercard ???

[unique osprey]

i hate no clue what happened all i did was import a unitypackage from the drive

and then add in a breakable wall

[nova pollen]

huh

[unique osprey]

if i misconfigured anything else, it was a misclick

[nova pollen]

this is the settings im using for my breakable wall

[unique osprey]

HUH mine doesn't look like that

[nova pollen]

is it a red wall or smth ?

[nova pollen]

ye try to add the "breakable" script component

[harsh matrix]

oh yes

[unique osprey]

I'm thinking remove the script component, add breakable script

[harsh matrix]

started adding custom assets I found online

file size going up for sure

[nova pollen]

yeee

[harsh matrix]

went from 22k to 34k adding one model 💀

[nova pollen]

oh no

shits gonna be a terabyte by the end of it

[harsh matrix]

to be fair

it was a BIG ass model

I don't think any of the other ones are nearly as massive

one of them didn't even bring it up by 1k

I still got a handful to put in but I'm tired so I'

m done for the night

as long as the final level is under 100k I'm chilling tbh

considering serenity and accelerate are both like 75k or smtn

should be fine

[unique osprey]

HUH

how to get script class

[nova pollen]

do you have a scripts folder ?

[unique osprey]

that's where i was dragging it in from

[nova pollen]

when you select the "breakabledoor" prefab does it show up like this

[tawdry basin]

remove the dropsCard field from the basedamageable script

i think i messed up bc that shouldnt be there

i had it in my version and forgot to remove when making the new package i guess

[unique osprey]

It looks like this

[nova pollen]

huh weird

ye try to follow what madmon said

surely that helps

[tawdry basin]

could anyone with access to the drive replace the breakable package with the one in old resources instead

[nova pollen]

do u want access to the drive

since you've also provided some very helpful assets

[tawdry basin]

sure

[nova pollen]

dm me ur email

[unique osprey]

Will do, sorry queueing val rn will try after

[unique osprey]

It worked perfectly, tyvm

[nova pollen]

god this discardlockdata shit is so stupid to figure out

same goes for the gift stuff too, it just ends up breaking harder than it should

[stiff cape]

Probably dropping my level sometime today, can't wait to see what y'all think!

[coarse holly]

looks sick

big fan of the lighting

[stiff cape]

ye the lighting is my carry lmao

[harsh matrix]

Pog

[outer pasture]

Subnautica assets????

Looks sick

[harsh matrix]

I may or may not be tossing the reefback leviathan into my level

Unsure, I gotta see how it looks first

[quiet hill]

WHAT

TEACH ME THE LIGHTING

This might be the winner chat 😨

[gritty pulsar]

I still have no clue how to do lighting in unity, know of a good guide?

[stiff cape]

ooh that would look awesome tbh

also for lighting best advice I can give is that this menu is your best friend

[quiet hill]

I’ll try my best

Dors the entire level have that lighting?

[stiff cape]

pretty much yeah, I made it fairly consistent throughout cause it just makes that subnautica style atmosphere I was going for

[sudden sage]

What I'm making Level is so long lol

[harsh matrix]

Nagai

Is it difficult?

[sudden sage]

That's right. so nagai
soudane totemo nagai

[harsh matrix]

Oh! @sudden sage I might be visiting Japan during winter break 🔥🔥

[sudden sage]

it isn't difficult! enjoyable beginners and speedrunner more enjoyable as well! maybe

[sudden sage]

wooo Let's go! Japan's 711 is so strong. come on

[gritty pulsar]

rip caused a bsod

I'll just have the lighting I'm given 🙃

[harsh matrix]

Caused a what

[gritty pulsar]

blue screen of death

[harsh matrix]

ooo

Unfortunate

[gritty pulsar]

hopefully didn't lose too much progress

[stiff cape]

Wait the lighting menu??

[harsh matrix]

You could try throwing in a few lights but idk how much that’ll do if you can’t change the skybox

[gritty pulsar]

yeah tried previewing lighting

[stiff cape]

Ohh yeah hadn’t clicked that button, think it updates automatically so it should be good to ignore if you go back into that menu tbh

[harsh matrix]

Idk if I ever tried that

Best to just see what it looks like in game anyways

[gritty pulsar]

rip did indeed lose a few hours progress

oh god

[harsh matrix]

Damn

[gritty pulsar]

I fucking hate this editor with a passion

is there a way to make the selection tool less dogshit

I'll click on a brush and it'll grab that and everything else behind it

I wanna rip out my eyes trying to recoup this

[harsh matrix]

it's tough yeah

[stiff cape]

Alright finally got around to posting my level

[nova pollen]

GUYS GUYS GUYS
