[quiet hill]

[coarse holly]

HUGE

[nova pollen]

i think the ending line is honestly so wholesome LMAOO

one of my sample videos that i sent to them got a like too which means ONE of the devs saw it and liked it LMAO

[cloud remnant]

Probs gonna release another level today

[quiet hill]

[quiet hill]

:0

[ashen burrow]

:)

Makes me happy makes me smile

[worthy rivet]

Ye

[weak pagoda]

:D

4 submissions so far :D

[cloud remnant]

is minethere

#1284292119229366354 now i really needa stop making levels

[outer pasture]

5 now

decided to just submit since I probably wont change it

[cloud remnant]

i can export a scene but have to redo all the blocks good thing i can controll click alot, it just takes a fair bit of work

[quiet hill]

Shotout trigger

[cloud remnant]

its not trigger

0: i got cubemap images

[cloud remnant]

i cant use parts that have 2 parts for a mesh

[unique osprey]

I think I finally finished roughly what my gameplay looks like :)

nothing like my first concept at all lol

[gritty pulsar]

my map's gunna be crusty as hell

but it will exist

[unique osprey]

should i set my dev time to my actual pb while playing the level?

so they actually gotta beat the level dev to get it lol

[outer pasture]

yeah definitely

[unique osprey]

i've spent the last hour playing my level and not working on it 😭

thats gotta be a good sign at least right

[outer pasture]

for sure lol

thats like the best case scenario

[coarse holly]

yoo same here

thats a great sign

[unique osprey]

fr its so fun though

new content

[unique osprey]

looking at adding trees now, getting this when importing foliage package; do I just ignore it?

[tawdry basin]

yea ignore

[cloud remnant]

i cant stop

[unique osprey]

bros addicted 😭

[quiet hill]

oljvnkfjvbdjkhel ivjbekv

[outer pasture]

new level rush but its just all Facewharfed levels

[tawdry basin]

surely make a custom chapter at this point

[unique osprey]

could someone give a rundown of how decorating works like

like whats the difference between a texture and material

and why do some things look different ingame vs in editor

[tawdry basin]

a texture is basically just the png image while a material uses the texture with a shader that lets you modify various things like its colour and how reflective it is and so on

the material is what you actually apply to objects

also i believe the lighting in game is based on what environment you choose so it will pretty much always look different in the editor

[unique osprey]

Ahhh, ty for the breakdown

I googled it briefly but everything just seemed like it was describing the same thing

[cloud remnant]

yeh its ssort of a process of learning but once u get the hang of it u wont even think about it

[unique osprey]

its also because in unity, when i drag materials and textures onto things it looks like its doing the same thing

[cloud remnant]

u need to put the texture albedo onto the base map

so for those port blocks for example u want to create a material that uses the 2 textures on the right

into the material which will pop up on the right and it will texure

[unique osprey]

its unedittable for some reason on mine

[cloud remnant]

yeh create a new material right click > create> material

[coarse holly]

i may have unnecessarily deleted all the grass on my level

welp ig im not using any grass models

[cloud remnant]

controll z is a freind

[coarse holly]

can i ctrl z after ive saved my lvl tho

[unique osprey]

HOLYSHIT FINALLY

TY

[cloud remnant]

turn metallic down

u gotta do that for pretty much everything

theyve all got different textures so u will need to check what goes with what

[unique osprey]

it seems like its already 0

is that a setting not on the material

[cloud remnant]

its the metallic map which is already at 0 so ur good

[unique osprey]

bet 😎

[cloud bane]

i am 100% releasing my map tonight 👀

its ~4-4:30pm for me rn, so expect a new map in 7 hours max

also for some reason when i got through a portal my custom lighting resets (like goes back to standard lighting for my environment)

does anyone know how to fix it?

[coarse holly]

just uploaded mine :)

[unique osprey]

holyshit!!!!

[sullen ruin]

as a simple response this is actually extremely spot on

gj

it's a bit backwards but like

very very good as a simple response either way

it being backwards doesn't matter for the sake of simplicity

[tawdry basin]

ty

i feel like i've heard you mention graphics programming before so you could prob explain better but yea

[sullen ruin]

i am Huge fan of graphics programming and have worked directly in openGL and vulkan (and thusly writing shaders mostly in GLSL but i undertsand HLSL as well, just the different syntax and keywords catch me offguard

QWKDPWQ:D

so i know pretty precisely how unity's shaders and materials work inherently from that

[tawdry basin]

ohh i see

thats big

[cloud bane]

i reckonnnnnnnnnn

2 hours

until i release my level

trying to fix a tiny bit of routing / performance optimisations

(either performance issues or my laptop has been using up almost all my memory from other apps open)

[unique osprey]

:O

hype

[cloud bane]

it might be a bit longer

bc im ordering pizza :p

[unique osprey]

Does anyone know why my port_blocks look weird

I made a material using the normal map and albedo transparency thing in the same folder

[cloud remnant]

turn normal map to 0

[unique osprey]

it's only the blocks with big designs; the plain blocks with the same material look normal

Should I be using the same material for everything?

[cloud remnant]

yeh turn the normal map to zerro

[unique osprey]

Ya, it worked:)

[cloud remnant]

bad example

yeh its pretty fussy with them most need zero

[unique osprey]

but like, would it be bad if i used this one material for lieterally everything in my level

(thats stone)

[cloud remnant]

nah

as long as u make the level readable

[unique osprey]

also i just realised what was happening; "normal map" so it was colouring based on how much the mesh was sticking out/in?

pretty cool

[cloud remnant]

could somone UE tell me what this texture is plz?

[nova pollen]

what lvl is this

oh mayhem

@cloud remnant

this should hopefully be accurate enough

it's just a cube that has those two materials in them

[cloud remnant]

thx

it looks like alot of ch8 and 9 r cubes

[gritty pulsar]

That's a real tasty looking tile texture

[light zenith]

lost a bit of progress for some reason but on track to have some kind of finsihed version

wont be as polishes as id have like though most likely]

[dusty dome]

[cloud bane]

i need some help with one thing for my custom level before im ready to release it

so i used a portal to reset the skybox at the start of the level, but now the title of the level doesnt appear in the beginning

if anyone knows how to solve this id greatly appreciate it

[nova pollen]

ye it's some weird portal data stuff

it happens often, best thing you could do is stall your portal but idk if that fixes it

[cloud bane]

by stalling it do you mean like placing the spawn in the air above the portal?

so then you fall into the portal like .5 seconds later?

[nova pollen]

ye

[sudden sage]

Music of "a limbo of purple mirage" is so good
I'm curious about it music name

[tawdry basin]

dance with silence - camellia

[dusty dome]

just ran the nastiest run of all time on restrain + me custom level

[harsh matrix]

Ig people are all actually releasing the level before the deadline lol

[quiet hill]

couldnt be me

i regret the direction i took my level so much

should have done this for smth that didnt involve money lmao

[harsh matrix]

You’ll be fiiiiine

[quiet hill]

I’ll be ok but not amazing

[sudden sage]

what...??? I make Level but vanish enemy and card... what...

prefab is nothing suddenly

omg... I'm the end

I'm currently trouble shooting, but if there is a way to fix it, please let me know.

[outer pasture]

I want to say that you may have accidentally deleted the folder that contained those .prefab files

the scene would still have references to the prefabs but with those prefabs not existing this error shows up

@sudden sage do you still have your ../Assets/Spawnables folder in your project? and if so does it still have everything in it?

[sudden sage]

My PC suddenly physically shut down, but that file was gone.

[outer pasture]

you should hopefully be able to just replace the folder and the references will work again, hopefully

do you need someone to upload a zip of the spawnables folder since its not there in your project anymore?

[sudden sage]

I did try it. But it didn't work. I'm currently looking for a way to import prefabs correctly.

[outer pasture]

hmm I wanst able to replicate exactly the "(missing prefab)" part of your problem in my editor but when i remove the prefab files my spawners did turn red, then back to blue when i replaced the files

[sudden sage]

This has helped me a little.

1. Download and open "Neon White Custom Level Editor" again
2. Export Spawner as a package using Asset -> Export Package.
3. Open a broken unity project
4. Import what was exported in 2

[outer pasture]

I was gonna suggest that one next lol. Did you get it working now?

[sudden sage]

thank you Blob!
It's not fixed a little yet, so I'll try harder!

[sudden sage]

Fixed!
I was able to solve the problem by re-importing the unity package!
I thought my heart would stop.

[outer pasture]

lets goooo

cant wait to see how jumbo the level is

[upper stirrup]

Will there be an announcement for the contest placements or will I have to watch Alphas stream for my level placement

[coarse holly]

i dont think alpha will stream it

it'll prob be streamed on NeonWhiteEvents or smth

[nova pollen]

it'll probably be announced once all the judges are done rating the levels

im guessing

[coarse holly]

prolly

[upper stirrup]

Oh, I thought alpha was streaming, hmm alright thank you :)

[nova pollen]

@weak pagoda is alpharad gonna stream the custom levels or nah

i know u mentioned something about it but we not sure

ALSO custom level packages will be updated once the level jam ends

... i have a lot of stuff backlogged .......

[upper stirrup]

Custom level packages?

[nova pollen]

aka "all the levels that currently exist" package

where i stuff all the custom levels into one zip file for people to download and use

[coarse holly]

oh the packs

fire

[upper stirrup]

Oh

Yeah, sick

[quiet hill]

About to duplicate the package size with my level 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[nova pollen]

good thing im using the neon white events account to package a lot of those files 🔥

still got like 10-12 gbs free

[outer pasture]

by once the level jam ends do you mean like tomorrow or after the results are out?

[nova pollen]

whenever i can have my hands on the levels xDDD

i have some, but i think most of the people will submit their levels when the jam ends

[outer pasture]

expecting late submissions?

[nova pollen]

yup 100%

[upper stirrup]

Cook

[nova pollen]

if some levels aren't dropped and only sent to the judges, i will try to get my hands on them mid-judging/after judging

[outer pasture]

im so used to itch.io jams I didnt even consider the possibility of being late lol

[upper stirrup]

Lmao

[nova pollen]

i should add some tags actually 😭

to the forum

[outer pasture]

if I didnt complete it by tomorrow for some reason I was probably just gonna take that L and not submit

[upper stirrup]

I’ve never been in a jam I’m so nervous

[outer pasture]

ive been wondering if i should throw my level onto itch.io just cause it would kinda fit in

but on the other hand its kinda not nearly as much effort as the rest of the stuff as my profile

would be a little out of place

[upper stirrup]

Can you throw levels on itch.io?

Never heard of doing that

[outer pasture]

it wont be playable from there or anything

[upper stirrup]

Well yeah

[outer pasture]

but i mean you can post pretty much anything on itch

a level would be considered a game asset

[upper stirrup]

Oh wow

That’s pretty cool

[outer pasture]

honestly its a banger website. Im mostly on the games side of things but i know theres an active community for stuff like music jams too

[upper stirrup]

Never really used itch.io so I didn’t know that

I hope one day we can get in game leaderboards for custom levels

But I don’t think that’s possible

[outer pasture]

someone like stxtic would know better than me but you can use unity services to host small leaderboards for free. So its maybe possible with some effort

[upper stirrup]

Hmm

I didn’t think about it, I guess right now I probably have the WR on my level I don’t think anyone’s played the newest update

But I know as soon as Madmon touches it it’s joever😔

[coarse holly]

just dont ever release the newest version

[upper stirrup]

It’s already out…

In https://discord.com/channels/945894482220572743/1283647933446881361

[coarse holly]

o

[upper stirrup]

Yeah lol

[outer pasture]

I still havent played any of the customs people have been posting besides my own and lost river

I think im gonna do em all in bulk after theyve been submitted

might wait for faustas to get em all into the package

[upper stirrup]

Fair

[unique osprey]

I'll plug whetstone anyday frfr

[upper stirrup]

Fr?

[unique osprey]

It's fun, try it ^^

[unique osprey]

Ong fr 😤

[upper stirrup]

My goat

[weak pagoda]

afaik yes

[upper stirrup]

YIPPEE

[weak pagoda]

that is the plan

[harsh matrix]

I knew there was going to be a stream of some sort

alpha streaming it would be poggers tho

[weak pagoda]

they make their stream schedules on mondays so stay tuned i suppose :3

[harsh matrix]

but honestly idrc who does it, I just wanna see a results stream of some kind lol

[weak pagoda]

there will also be the reveal stream

[harsh matrix]

oh I see

makes sense

[upper stirrup]

Wait MrBeast follows Alpha?

That’s pretty cool… atleast it was

[gritty pulsar]

what a king for having he/they in his bio

[upper stirrup]

True

[outer pasture]

man if he streams it itll feel so weird to watch such a big creator playing a level I made

but admittedly the idea for my level came from the fact that I knew alpha would be judging so I do wanna see the reaction

[upper stirrup]

The only reason i joined lmao

[unique osprey]

I never knew him before I played neon white damn

[cloud bane]

i watched alpharad long before the fast50 event but he was the person who got me into neon white

from the fast50

[outer pasture]

I knew him before but I also was already thinking about buying neon white before he made the video, then when i saw the video I was like yeah im pulling the trigger on this

[cloud remnant]

is there some special propperty for something to zipline it zipline feels like you have to be 3x as close to something for it to work

[ashen burrow]

It still blows my mind, was a huge Alpharad fan during the smash hype

I don’t know much about Pokémon so admittedly I haven’t kept around for a year or two but knowing they fw neon white and it’s community is so cool

[upper stirrup]

yeah

been watching since 2016 i believe, their the goat

[quiet hill]

id just be scared of so many ppl watching my level if they do stream

[ashen burrow]

@weak pagoda should ask alpharad twice about that this weekend, there was a miscommunication with them streaming the tourney last time

[weak pagoda]

i am

[cloud bane]

well if you're happy about how your level has turned out and it fits your vision, it shouldnt matter how many people watch it 😄

like my level is very unorthodox but im very happy with how it turned out

[cloud remnant]

dont u probs one of the few people that have got enough experience with creating other levels

[cloud remnant]

as you should

[cloud bane]

also ima release it in like an hour

just fyi

got 2 more small things to fix

[cloud remnant]

make sure to submit it too the sheet

[cloud bane]

Mmm

im gonna see if anyone happens to find any bugs in the first few hours

or medal retimes etc

[ashen burrow]

[cloud bane]

then ill submit it to the sheet

[velvet arrow]

@quiet hill win or die.

[coarse holly]

😨

[cloud bane]

welp

[quiet hill]

doesnt guarantgee aniything idk

[quiet hill]

ofc

ur gonna have to give me back those 5.93 tho

[velvet arrow]

yeah no. get scammed.

[quiet hill]

https://tenor.com/view/emu-nene-gif-27456669

🐟

[cloud bane]

ooh fish

[upper stirrup]

Wait… there’s fish??

[harsh matrix]

Level submitted

donezo

[cloud bane]

niceeeeeeeeee

[upper stirrup]

donezo indeed

[gritty pulsar]

for people worried about their map being seen I think most people will know mapping neonwhite mapping is very much in its infancy

there's no real established community motifs at this point

and people are still learning the editor

plus my level looks like this

gunna try detailing but doing modelling/texturing in unity is painful

I'll learn another approach if people end up liking my map so I can make some more maps

[upper stirrup]

i just dont want to be horrificly dogged on lol

[gritty pulsar]

all part of being a level designer

[coarse holly]

[gritty pulsar]

I've been roasted many times for my decisions in level design, some communities are a lot nicer about it than others though for sure

[coarse holly]

chat i forgor, when adding music do you put the name of the track in quotes or no

[upper stirrup]

mainly im interested in alphas opinion, he can be pretty harsh

[upper stirrup]

dont think so

[coarse holly]

alr ty

[upper stirrup]

but like in a funny way

[gritty pulsar]

I'm interested in just this lil communities' opinion tho would be nice if he either likes it or gets frustrated with it

[upper stirrup]

lmao

[coarse holly]

his reaction to compatible will be amazing

[upper stirrup]

he really likes Vaporeon so i think he'll like it

[gritty pulsar]

did you include a vaporeon model?

[upper stirrup]

has a good chance to be his favorite imo

[upper stirrup]

the map is shaped as one

[gritty pulsar]

oh sick

I just tried to focus on flow in my map, been interesting to switch gears from surf to this

[ashen burrow]

I’m sad I didn’t get to apply for a judge, I wasn’t paying attention to the events team chat and before I knew it they already had everyone picked out lmao

Next time bros

[coarse holly]

[upper stirrup]

oh that wouldve been cool

[coarse holly]

i mean you could still give em ur opinions

[upper stirrup]

[ashen burrow]

Ye I will be giving some opinions on the levels too

I like fun!!!

[upper stirrup]

excited to see that

[coarse holly]

same!

[upper stirrup]

if alpha does stream whos gonna watch it? im not sure how much time ill have that day to watch the whole thing. If you can, can someone spam my dms when he gets to Whetstone?

[coarse holly]

will do

[upper stirrup]

i want you to SPAM me

until i respond lol

[gritty pulsar]

has he given an impression what day he might stream it?

[upper stirrup]

he normally streams monday i believe

but idk

[weak pagoda]

not planned yet

[upper stirrup]

alright

[unique osprey]

OMG so many new levels dropped

I wanna play them all but I also need to finish mine ahHHHhh

[coarse holly]

go go go!! finish ur level so you can be FREE

[cloud bane]

aaaaaaaaaand DONE

FINALLY

[coarse holly]

YIPPEE

[weak pagoda]

we got 2 levels named dive..

[coarse holly]

ruh roh

[weak pagoda]

ermmm

[coarse holly]

wait

that sucks

can i resubmit and change the level name to Diver or smth

[upper stirrup]

might wanna do a completely different name so no confusion happens

[coarse holly]

true

anyone doing "Submerged" as their level name?

[cloud bane]

nop

[coarse holly]

[upper stirrup]

oooh thats good

[coarse holly]

i'll prob do that

[coarse holly]

@weak pagoda im gonna resumbit the form with my level name changed from "Dive" to "Submerged" to avoid any confusion

[weak pagoda]

coolio

[gritty pulsar]

Mine's gunna be waltz

how many submissions are there so far?

[weak pagoda]

8

[coarse holly]

[weak pagoda]

ik of like atleast 2 more

shrug

[gritty pulsar]

how many custom maps existed prior?

[weak pagoda]

20+ i think

[gritty pulsar]

was thinking it was about to double the custom map pool but it's more like 1.5 which is still pretty impressive

[weak pagoda]

ty perna :D

[quiet hill]

lots of submissions damnn

:D

[weak pagoda]

when are youuuu submitting crispy?

[quiet hill]

submitting in 14 hours dw

no sleep 💪💪

[coarse holly]

i believe

[unique osprey]

missed opportunity to call it 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 dive

[coarse holly]

NOOOOOOOO

[upper stirrup]

[weak pagoda]

do you need more time perchance?

[quiet hill]

nahh

im actually close to finishing lol

might be done in a couple hours

[unique osprey]

we do have like 17 hours left right

im not tripping

[quiet hill]

has anyone else not submited yet?

[unique osprey]

i am not finished

[quiet hill]

:0

[quiet hill]

yeahyeah

i thought it was less but yea

[unique osprey]

I don't understand the textures man 😭

everything looks glitchy

[quiet hill]

then maybe i release it tomorrow morning actually

[weak pagoda]

if needed extra time can be supplied

[quiet hill]

I'll be fine

also peri if i wanna add like extra info about the level do i type it in the form or do i add like a readme attatchment

[unique osprey]

i am simply facing the consequences of having all my blocks poke into others kalsjkdfjs;af

[coarse holly]

So were you the other diver jade

or nah

Cause ik u had the same idea of going thru the water

[unique osprey]

i changed my design entirely

[coarse holly]

o

[unique osprey]

cos i wasn't good enough to bring my vision to life

:(

[coarse holly]

[gritty pulsar]

how do I post my map in custom levels?

probably would be smart to get people to check it out and make sure nothing is broken 😅

[coarse holly]

Get the Map Maker Role from Channels and Roles

then you can post

[gritty pulsar]

thank you

[quiet hill]

would yall believe if i said i was planning on having "dive" inside mylevel name

[cloud bane]

yes

[gritty pulsar]

watching my original clip back and starting to think I shoulda just left it grey and white as that looks more neonwhite 🙃

[cloud bane]

i already know what im going to make for my next custom level

just 3 mins straight of hellevator

[coarse holly]

same

Im making CALC 2 BABYYY

[cloud bane]

calc is short for calculator right?

hehe

[coarse holly]

[gritty pulsar]

would appreciate if someone checks out my level
||I map with hammer usually and the idea I can just compile with the editor and ship custom assets is alien to me and I don't trust it||

[unique osprey]

im making plunge 2 but only the good part next lol

Does anyone know why I can't change the material in my breakable door?

[gritty pulsar]

pretty sure you can just drag a material onto it

[unique osprey]

Ahh that was it tyty

And does anyone know how to add grass like the foliage controller?

or where i can find grass clump

[cloud remnant]

should be in foliage file on drive

[unique osprey]

im looking inside and i dont see grass

idk

[tawdry basin]

there is a folder in the drive called 'more foliage and trees' that has the grass

[unique osprey]

OH ok

tyvm again

[tawdry basin]

since there are multiple people using the flight card now you should probably include a note with your submission to tell people to turn off fireball effects (dont want people to get blinded or lose points bc of it)

i believe the submission form has a field for extra information

[cloud bane]

yeah it does

thats a super important one to include imo

i made a note of it in my level too

you dont want people to see red for the next 5 hours

[tawdry basin]

yep

[tawdry basin]

i worded this kinda bad this was intended for people actually using the card in their level

[quiet hill]

@weak pagoda

[outer pasture]

Looks like 9 submissions for the level jam posted so far and its not even the final day yet

[quiet hill]

jade and me are uploading and idk who else

[outer pasture]

oh seika hasnt posted yet either

so at least 12 levels

[quiet hill]

ohhhh trueee

jumbo level

also i finished my level :DDDDDD noiw i need to play it lol

[outer pasture]

so much time to make a goated red medal

[unique osprey]

looking at everyone elses it seems like a lotta people put visuals first

[coarse holly]

WOOO

[unique osprey]

my level looks terrible but its fun to play lol

[outer pasture]

tbf if you are trying to place visuals first might be the move

[unique osprey]

^^^

[coarse holly]

arent two of the 4 categories visuals and creativity

[unique osprey]

when 3 of the judging criteria relate to it

[coarse holly]

the two kinda go hand in hand

[outer pasture]

as well as theme

[coarse holly]

o

[outer pasture]

which is also gonna be mostly visuals

but it can also be gameplay like how some of the levels have lowered the gravity to simulate being under water

[coarse holly]

wait some levels do that????

[outer pasture]

I thought I saw a few but the one that comes to mind rn is waltz

[coarse holly]

oh i havent opened that one yet

[outer pasture]

King curtis just submitted it like half an hour ago and it looks like the whole level is low grav

[coarse holly]

that idea sounds sick tho

man i was tryin so hard to add the boost tag to a region and not just ground so you could have awb boost in a whole area

it might be possible i couldnt figure it out tho

[outer pasture]

maybe i just have bad perspective lol

cause Ive only played one level that wasnt my own

so maybe it just looked like people were falling slower to me

[coarse holly]

perhaps

ima open waltz tmr cause its getting kinda late for me

but ill see what u mean

[cloud bane]

waltz is definitely in low grav

for sure

[coarse holly]

sick

[cloud bane]

actually im not sure

i cant really tell now looking at it a second time

[coarse holly]

lol

[outer pasture]

yeah it could just be that the scale of everything is messing with our heads lol

[weak pagoda]

formb

[quiet hill]

oki

[unique osprey]

how can i find this texture thing

the red soil looking bit

[coarse holly]

Uhhh

I think if u click the child component thats red

There should be like an inspect button

Then you'll see a list of methods and stuff

wait no

Once you click the child part

You click the meshrenderer component of it

Then u click the method .getmaterial???

I think???

[tawdry basin]

its the heaven_grassFloor texture but tinted red

its also in the foliage folder but you'll have to change the color with a material

[worthy rivet]

didnt we ping you?

[ashen burrow]

Nope

[worthy rivet]

well tbf you were there at the start of us talking about it

[ashen burrow]

Not really

Ig it's my fault for not really paying much attention

[worthy rivet]

we talked about judges 3 minutes after one of your msgs

[quiet hill]

for some reason my dnfs dont work on my level. They work everywhere else but not here

[tawdry basin]

does your level automatically end when all demons are killed

[quiet hill]

let me see

yup

[tawdry basin]

does your level goal have something with a trigger covering it?

bc that would cause that to happen

[quiet hill]

how do i know

like what type of triugger

[tawdry basin]

like an object with a box collider with 'Is Trigger' checked

could be any kind of collider tho

[outer pasture]

im mostly just guessing but isnt the goal a trigger?

pretty sure triggers dont trigger other triggers

[tawdry basin]

i dont really know how it works but what i said does happen

[outer pasture]

interesting

[quiet hill]

theres one thing covering the goal but it doesnt have Is Trigger checked or any collider

[outer pasture]

does it have a rigidbody component?

[quiet hill]

nop

ok i moved it and it isnt that object

[tawdry basin]

screenshot might be useful if you dont mind spoiling the level

[quiet hill]

of what

[tawdry basin]

the level goal

although if theres nothing covering it or inside it then im not too sure

[quiet hill]

idk

it is inside a lot of bigger things tho

although only one of them like has it covered

theres a bunch of other stuff that together cover it

[tawdry basin]

hmm

you might have to just try disabling some of those then to see if it fixes

[quiet hill]

[tawdry basin]

[cloud remnant]

the scene heirachy scares me

[quiet hill]

dw about it

ok aparently there is something in the screenshot i sent

cuz i kept moving the goal and it works fine like almost right next to the og spot

ok it wasd the fucking moss

fixed :D

[cloud remnant]

lol

[sullen ruin]

@tawdry basin too

WHAT HAPPENS is the goal trigger itself is not tripping it, but rather a trigger colliding with either the base or (in very rare cases, NL3 dnf on doesn't do this for example) the cageof the goal like the attached image

[quiet hill]

ok but dont yell >.<

[sullen ruin]

QWDJOLQW:D

i dind't mean it like a yell im sorry 😭

[cloud remnant]

STOP YELLING

[quiet hill]

sfdlvbjknsflbknslbknslb i was kididng

[sullen ruin]

STOPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!

‼️

[cloud remnant]

NO YOU STOP

[sullen ruin]

the ontriggerstay ends up happening from the base/(cage) even though the trigger doing it is either the trigger obj u put near it or in the case of basegame the extended pickup trigger from godspeed/fireball

[cloud remnant]

say it in dumb person terms plz

[sullen ruin]

trigger touching non-trigger thing on goal makes the goal trigger function happen anyway

which means do win or dnf

[cloud remnant]

perfect

[sullen ruin]

to fix change layer of trigger to trigger which is like layer 8 or smth idk

[tawdry basin]

[sullen ruin]

and the goal thingy will not collide with it

[tawdry basin]

it happened to me a few times when making levels but i could never figure out why it worked

[sullen ruin]

ya doin some research for ensuretimer made me figure out a bunch of stuff about the goal and about unity

[quiet hill]

also ty madmon for the help :)

[tawdry basin]

np

[quiet hill]

my level makes my wrist hurt so much

[unique osprey]

sorry how do I make the grass look like grass and not broken glass again?

[unique osprey]

whats the name of the environment in absolution

or better, where can I find the environment of a level in UE

[nova pollen]

is it not hand of god ?

[unique osprey]

hand of god gives me this orange look idk

[nova pollen]

oh

ye it's afterlife: green

it's weird cause it's a weird mix

[unique osprey]

Do I like need to reopen the game to see the changes? Reloading level doesn't change it

[nova pollen]

i think there isn't an actual absolution environment, it's suppose to be "afterlife: green" but it has some additional settings attached to it

which makes it look like that

which idk if it's actually easy replicable

[unique osprey]

Ah; what would be closest do you think

[nova pollen]

not even sure

i think most of the ones im thinking of are too bright

[unique osprey]

Same, tyvm anyway

[light zenith]

on track to get uploaded soon 🔥

[worthy rivet]

[nova pollen]

@cloud remnant how did u get your card to display a godspeed card

for the backshot shotgun thingy

[cloud remnant]

it picks the right click

so if u were to have godspeed as right click it would bake that one, from my experience

[coarse holly]

So many new levels

[junior citrus]

so excited to see all the submissions

[cloud bane]

ooh ive still gotta submit mine to the submission page

thanks for reminding me

done

ive submitted my level

[weak pagoda]

huge

so many submissions :D

[cloud bane]

how many are there?

[weak pagoda]

9 so far but i know of a bunch more ppl who are yet to submit

[cloud bane]

wow okay

thats insane

surely this competition will have doubled the amount of custom levels

ill have to start playing them all tomorrow

[weak pagoda]

there are a LOT of custom levels already tbf

idk if itll double it

[cloud bane]

yeah fair actually

[weak pagoda]

more than 25

[cloud bane]

i didnt realise there were that many

yeah 25 is way more than i thought

[nova pollen]

question, has SEIKA submitted

[weak pagoda]

not yet

[nova pollen]

11 levels in the #1127361075768205522 2024 level jam tag, only 9 submitted...

strange .........

[weak pagoda]

im fine to give them an extension because of timezones and all that

[weak pagoda]

they're looking for feedback tbf

[nova pollen]

oh fair enough

[quiet hill]

Yes!

[sudden sage]

<t:1726426800>
This is the deadline, right? I made it on time! :)

[quiet hill]

Yes!

[gritty pulsar]

so I got 4 hours to polish this turd eh?

[nova pollen]

i got 4 hrs to finish this level??

why am i getting phillep reacted .....

[golden oyster]

Good luck soldier

[harsh matrix]

Top 5 levels from what I’ve seen imo (unordered):

• Lost River
• Sinking Buoyant
• The Abyss
• Submerged
• Poseidon’s Risen Temple

HM to Aqueduct for banger gameplay

And I’m definitely not biased putting my own level in top 5 lol

I also haven’t seen all of them

[unique osprey]

Glad I'm not the only one still working

[harsh matrix]

Am excited to see what the remaining few look like and whether or not they bop one of the others out of my top 5

[gritty pulsar]

played mine?

[harsh matrix]

Ye urs is pretty solid and I like the tileset, you’re not far off the ones I mentioned

There’s so many good levels it’s hard to pick lol

[gritty pulsar]

ayy ty ty

yeah some of these submissions are pretty nuts from what I've seen

[harsh matrix]

For sure, I put a lot of effort into mine and was like “I got this in the bag surely” but these guys are easily giving me a run for my money

[gritty pulsar]

for the most part I just wanted to see if I could learn unity in the timeframe and hopefully make something fun

[harsh matrix]

Super fair

I have level design background so it’s not quite my first time lol

[gritty pulsar]

I make surf maps, but hammer doesn't really translate that well into unity

[harsh matrix]

Tho I haven’t ever mapped in Unity before so that part was different

[gritty pulsar]

what do you usually make maps for/in

[quiet hill]

All the levels ive tried are too good id have a hard time picking

Good job everyone!

I think lost river is my fav

[harsh matrix]

I made some stuff for celeste in the Lonn editor, as well as a lot of prototyping for irl board games

A bit in unreal engine also

[harsh matrix]

Yeah I could see any of the top 5 winning they’re all really good

Inb4 Jade’s level is a masterpiece

[harsh matrix]

I think we’re hitting like almost 15 or smtn nuts

Maybe close to 12-13 but still a ton

[quiet hill]

we have 12 and are missing faustas and jade

and maybe someone else idk

[harsh matrix]

Crazy

[coarse holly]

I should play poseidons temple that level looks sick

And i should play sinking buoyant too lol

[quiet hill]

about to reach 40 levels on my folder

[nova pollen]

i technically have like 41+ levels in my folder(s) for RMMBY ....

[unique osprey]

I'm proud of my level but idk about that haha

first time doing anything like this, at this point I'm in it for the fun

[nova pollen]

ive spent the entire level jam trying to help people get setup for levels and all that

and im glad that my help has paid off in some regard

[unique osprey]

Though if my level was in the base game.. I think it'd be in my top 20

[nova pollen]

(maybe minus the restrain incident .... )

[sudden sage]

Faustas's help saved us

Thank you everytime

[nova pollen]

i've tried my best to help as much as i can :D

hopefully the knowledge can be passed down to other people in the future

custom levels are great fun

[sudden sage]

That's right! Jumbo fun

[nova pollen]

happy to report that i am like 60-70% done with the level

slight downside is that the visuals/theming might suck (as predicted)

[unique osprey]

Why is my grass invisible from one direction

asjdfhsljkadhfl

how am I only seeing this now

(same grass, from front)

Did I do something wrong ?

[unique osprey]

I think I'm ready to submit soon !!!

[nova pollen]

not ready!!!

[light zenith]

hopefully I filled it in right !

[gritty pulsar]

same

I definitely could have detailed more but it's not gunna be a winner and it's polished enough to not look awful 😅

[coarse holly]

[harsh matrix]

Make sure the material renders on both the front and back faces

Should be a dropdown setting on the material itself

[unique osprey]

omg you're a lifesaver

[harsh matrix]

Foliage a bitch

But it’s also cool

Weird eye tricks

Before going into 3D dev I never would’ve thought trees would just be branches with a shit ton of transparent .pngs on em

[unique osprey]

Neither did I going into this lmao

[unique osprey]

Like it makes sense the more I think about it, but still

[harsh matrix]

Kind of epic

But yeah it’s a learning process

[unique osprey]

Me when I couldn't think of how to fit the aquatic theme, so I just made everything blue lol

[harsh matrix]

I made these trees that same way

That’s when I first learned how it works lol

[harsh matrix]

That’s real

Aquatic theme is hard

[unique osprey]

That looks goddamn beautiful

[harsh matrix]

It was for my virtual environments class

That class taught me how OP unreal engine and adobe substance painter are

You can make some insane stuff in unreal

dare I call it unreal

[unique osprey]

ITS UPLOADED !!

I wholly underestimated the amount if time unity would take to learn lol

[quiet hill]

Noo :(

[icy cloak]

I have like 1/3rd done and am planning on still finishing it

Probably will upload in a few days

Also ill def be asking help for texturing stuff

Water is confusing asf

[quiet hill]

Feel free to ask :3

[worthy rivet]

does dive have a thread?

as far as ik this is wr

[nova pollen]

it's submerged

[worthy rivet]

no

thats old dive

theres 2 dives

faustas aint no mf getting a 5 on submerged

even with cheats bruh

[coarse holly]

maybe if you find the boof

[worthy rivet]

mb mb

[cloud bane]

[worthy rivet]

hell yeah

[upper stirrup]

Just saying, Whetstone is pretty hype lmao

[cloud bane]

dont worry ill try all of them

😄

theres so many and i wanna give them all a solid shot

[upper stirrup]

[cloud bane]

so i might just take a little while

[coarse holly]

There is like 15 lol

[cloud bane]

Mmm

[coarse holly]

And a bunch are like a minute for ace

[cloud bane]

its probs gonna take me a solid couple of days to get through them all

[coarse holly]

Same lmao

[cloud bane]

im gonna act like i didnt contribute to that problem lol

[upper stirrup]

Errm actually there’s 14🤓

[coarse holly]

saban hasn't uploaded

I think

[upper stirrup]

Oh

I’ve been successfully got

[coarse holly]

And theres the other dive that wasnt posted

So im actually wrong theres 16

[upper stirrup]

Damn so we’re both stupid

do i start making a 3 minute hellevator level?

yes or no?

[cloud remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/squidward-throw-away-brain-spongebob-gif-744522673706886521

[weak pagoda]

if you do pls make it metronomeable

[coarse holly]

disable meshrenderer for every breakable door and stomp card

and vary the distance between each door

and put a shocker dupe at the end cause why not

[weak pagoda]

then sacrifice shot but harder

[cloud bane]

ok i will try all of that

dunno how ill make the trigger for sac shot tho

ill make it metronomable but its like a long rhythm that repeats (one loop will be like 7 seconds)

invisible platforms for the second half

then its just how well you memorise the rhythm

then you hit 5 sac shots in a row to finish

[upper stirrup]

You are evil

Vile vile man

[coarse holly]

Someones gotta have the worst custom level

At least now it'll be intentionally the worst

[upper stirrup]

Nah, I’d make 10 minute hellevator

creator didn't make a post it seems

Anyone playing it? I'm dnf'ing 5.4s wondering what best time is

[coarse holly]

#1127365664093524060 message this i think

[unique osprey]

damn my best dnf is .37

[worthy rivet]

hopo got like 0.309 i think with the normal route

i think

[unique osprey]

wym 0.309

[worthy rivet]

hobo got sub 5? using the balloon skip route

[worthy rivet]

i ment . because the . is all that matters

[unique osprey]

whats balloon skip

Idk balloon skip

omg

[worthy rivet]

i mean the skip is stupid

i also had the idea for it but its no fun

[coarse holly]

oh do u just not bounce on the balloon

[unique osprey]

godspeed the group of 3, slash balloon, blast guardian and then bomb top?

something like that?

[worthy rivet]

its faster to kill guardian slash balloon then shoot the 3 then slash the nade

[unique osprey]

Tried it, too unfun; got dev tho :3

custom level grind type of day

[quiet hill]

creator of dive hasnt messaged once on the server 💔

[coarse holly]

they on mc rn 😭

they clocked into the comp and clocked out

[quiet hill]

the grind

[coarse holly]

the mc grind is real

[harsh matrix]

I thought you said McGrind like you got that shit from McDonalds 💀

[sullen ruin]

[upper stirrup]

That Neon sprite goes crazy

[harsh matrix]

neon red and yellow more like neon ketchump and mutard

[upper stirrup]

[sturdy cobalt]

o i should send dive time

behold the worst route of all time

[upper stirrup]

Doesn’t look too bad

Imo atleast, I haven’t played the level

[unique osprey]

It's uh, pretty bad

[upper stirrup]

What’s so bad about it

[sturdy cobalt]

the bomb is stupidly precise

and only gets harder the longer it takes u to kill the guardian

[harsh matrix]

getting zesty with that one

[worthy rivet]

if its even possible shooting the 3 guys with purify is an even worse route

[sturdy cobalt]

it is possible

possibly the worst route of all is killing the jumper through the floor with purify shots

[worthy rivet]

ye na

[upper stirrup]

quite a few W names

[cloud bane]

I was expecting there to be more a’s tbh

[upper stirrup]

yeah

i think W is pretty fair considering "water" even if only one level used it

[cloud remnant]

might retire from this map making ish

[upper stirrup]

wait what?

But you’re like… the goat

[unique osprey]

I almost named mine jades lobby lol

[unique osprey]

Why's that, not enjoying it?

[upper stirrup]

didnt realize you made that one, really good, but i am not lmao

[cloud remnant]

mental health

[unique osprey]

Ty, I was inspired by dancer and take flight

[upper stirrup]

oh, hope you're okay

[unique osprey]

aye that's the only reason you need, if you do stop your levels will be missed brother o7

[nova pollen]

time to rank all the levels from the level jam W0000000t

Aqueduct
Archipelago
Compatible
Dive
Lost River
Neon Tetra
Port Navigation
Poseidon's Risen Temple
Sinking Buoyant
Submerged
The Abyss
Waltz
Waterpark
Whetstone
White's Lobby

[harsh matrix]

huge

taking a guess and saying that Abyss lands in mid Expert difficulty

[cloud remnant]

putting me in the dead middle of the list explains my life

just being mid

[harsh matrix]

it do be alphabetical

[nova pollen]

😭 it's alphabetical order

[cloud remnant]

omg lol

[nova pollen]

just went off based on what winrar was telling me

[cloud remnant]

lmao i thought u were ranking them and that was ur list i straight up didnt even see that

but i do find it funny that i was dead middle with that tho

[harsh matrix]

dropping a full ranking would be wild

and not just like a top 5 or smtn

[cloud remnant]

fufa ur level i couldnt even get silver

that shit getting the highest ranking

[harsh matrix]

yeah I've learned that the medals are very unforgiving

routing is VERY important lol

if you don't have a good route you will have a way harder time getting the medals

[nova pollen]

Archipelago is legit like a exploration level

i feel like it deserves a category of it's own at this point xDDD

[cloud remnant]

yeh im not smart enough nor have motivation for routing hence why i dont wanna learn ch8 and 9 levels

yeh true

[worthy rivet]

Faustas has the easiest red

And it ain’t close

[cloud remnant]

patched red

?

[nova pollen]

check again noob

[worthy rivet]

What is it now?

[harsh matrix]

I'm not sure mine deserves the highest difficulty cause it's not like it's difficult to clear

unlike kaizo

it's just hard to go fast

[worthy rivet]

Yours is way easier than crispys

[cloud remnant]

faustas seems to rank it based on how good he is at it

[worthy rivet]

I swear idk how to use the revolver but I’m trying some cool as shit with it but I can’t finish anything

[harsh matrix]

I haven't tried crispys yet

but yeah the cards look hard

[nova pollen]

ye pretty much

[worthy rivet]

Faustas what’s your red?

[nova pollen]

im basically ranking purely on:

• first impression difficulties
• how difficult it is to complete
• how hard is it to get ace medals

[worthy rivet]

Mf straight up ignored me and that’s fucked up because this mf ain’t even straight

[nova pollen]

on my level ?

[cloud remnant]

somebody needa make a level where u constantly pick up one card but u have to keep swapping so u dont use it

[worthy rivet]

Yes

[nova pollen]

it's 18.26 rn

[worthy rivet]

That’s crazy

[nova pollen]

assuming you're using the up-to-date version

[harsh matrix]

boof card in a mimic only level

[worthy rivet]

The one without the funny death card then?

Or idk what changed

[cloud remnant]

oooh yeh turn the enemy hitbox huge so that if u use right click boof instead of a godspeed you die.

[nova pollen]

i think that one is a 19-21 ?

somewhere around there ?

haven't played around too much with the normal rapture

[worthy rivet]

What did the patch do I assume it killed Floyd’s route

[nova pollen]

cursed rapture is pretty fast tho

i made a WHOLE changelog in the thread meowzy...

[worthy rivet]

Smh I never entered your lvl thread

[harsh matrix]

time 4 sleeepies

[worthy rivet]

Gn fufa

My legs are sore for no reason and it’s making me not be able to sleep (not like actually sore sore idk how to describe it)

[harsh matrix]

idk how or why I'm back on the degen sleep schedule but I sure am

[worthy rivet]

What’s your waltz time?

[nova pollen]

haven't played them yet

im only on compatible

or done rating compatible

[worthy rivet]

I’m the only mf who’s played waltz I swear

[nova pollen]

i'll get it to dw

[worthy rivet]

Everyone I’ve seen play it didn’t even get ace

[harsh matrix]

tbf I've played literally none of them I've just watched people play pretty much all of them

[cloud bane]

im glad i caught the vibe well, thats what i wanted 😄

[harsh matrix]

I think the only ones I haven't seen yet are Seika's and Archipelago

[worthy rivet]

Seikas music a bop

[harsh matrix]

ik they're both massive

[worthy rivet]

Sub minute no jumbo gap isn’t free

Not easy

[cloud remnant]

faustas u needa do frontier too

[nova pollen]

yee

will do them in a second, just finishing up this level jam stuff first

[lament raven]

im back and can upload my level now @weak pagoda

where should i post it

[weak pagoda]
