I like the fog in it. "Foggy Abyss Zone"? :)
Execute Script -> addfile NewPalette.wad -> ??? -> PROFIT
So it is possible right now, and it wouldn't be hard to allow it on the fly.

Your level is now named Skyward Sword Zone.
Nonsense. Teleporters are lazy design. This is not saying there aren't times when they're just more practical, such as Nev3r's usage of teleport cheatery in ERZ2, but the reality is that you should NEVER use teleports unless there is absolutely no other way. Instead of teleporting players between rooms, make corridors to do the same thing. Classic Sonic never teleported the player, instead using gimmicky lifts, zoom tubes, or the sky sanctuary beam teleport devices that let the player see how they move around the stage. If they can get away with not using them, so can you.It helps me keep things organised better, and reduces the amount of things onscreen at once. Sunset Town didn't need them at all honestly (but I made that when I was a newbie, and thus, didn't know much about zoom tubes and other axis-changing things for 2D mode. Hell, that first Zoom Tube is actually broken, IIRC), but Cloud Cradle probably wouldn't work right without them, nor would this level.
Yes, everyone tends to wait until the last minute to submit their maps.On another note, if nobody submits their creations soon, I might just win the Race contest by default. Does everyone always wait until the last second to submit? ...Or am I missing something?
Yes. Besides, there are four topics in Submissions. Assuming one of them is yours, there are three more and there's no way for normal users to know which gametype they're for, so.Does everyone always wait until the last second to submit?
You'd be surprised! Sonic 3 actually uses silent teleporting a lot, notably during act switches, like at the end of Ice Cap 1, where during that last tunnel before the mini boss, it slams a door shut behind you and teleports you to a visually identical corridor. Anyway, it's not as much "cheatery" as it is cleverness.Classic Sonic never teleported the player
I couldn't! It wasn't until I opened it in Doom Builder that I realized there were two silent teleports in the stage.It's only a teleport if the player can tell, Neo. You can tell we cheated in ERZ2. You can't tell in classic Sonic.
The teleports themselves aren't noticable, but personally, I have enough spacial reasoning to know that something is wrong when I get back to the start. I don't know how many of you are like this, but when I drive around IRL, I know which direction I'm facing and therefore rarely get lost in such a way that I can't at least find my way back to a place I recognize. It takes something significantly dramatic to screw up that internal compass, although it is possible to mess it up.I couldn't!

We're talking about the elevator and the vent, right? Both are completely unnoticeable.
With all the 2D-3D switching, zoom tubes and TELEPORTS (actual visible ones) the stage throws at you, I question the fact that you can actually perceive the stage as not making sense spatially, and it only really bugs you because you already know that the teleports are there.The teleports themselves aren't noticable, but personally, I have enough spacial reasoning to know that something is wrong when I get back to the start.

When playing video games, I can tell when I'm silently teleported and the spacial connection doesn't match up if it's dramatic enough. I know I'm in the minority in being able to catch it, but you CAN catch it if you have the proper kind of internal compass.
There are four topics in Submissions.
You can only see your own entry. I, for example, can see none (yet).You lost me. Four? Four? I'm definitely missing something, because I only see one topic, and it's mine. But whatever, I'll just be confused. I'll see the other entries eventually. No biggie.
