Contest Discussion Topic (2.1.X)

In my case, for Emerald Flower, I just let the stage come to me and it just flowed from there. Since I've been working on getting Green Flower Zone Act 2 into the Source engine, that level contributed to the influence of the level.

Porting all those past levels also helped with learning tricks to speed things up.

Just a reminder guys (since once again activity has seemingly plummeted), we've about 3 1/2 weeks until the next OLDC's submission deadline now. Nobody has submitted anything yet as of writing.

Mostly because I doubt our entries are even done to begin with.
And heh, we still got until the deadline to polish them, there' s no need to hurry or to worry since we still have 3 weeks left.

[glaber]

Remember the second to last contest we just had? I wouldn't get so complacent about those 3 weeks. I wouldn't want to risk canceling the contest, but then again, I don't want the levels actually looking unfinished either (See last contest). I prefer it when they hide the fact. (Example of when an unfinished level is polished)

[Nekoishi]

Me and [REDACTED] are going to collab on the greatest thing to ever grace SRB2.

YOU JUST WAIT FOR IT.

[CobaltBW]

[REDACTED]? He's my favorite level designer!

[glaber]

So how are things looking for this contest?

[Zipper]

Currently we have 5(?) SP entries, and 3(?) Match entries, and nothing for CTF.

Not too bright of a turnout, but it's not an all-time low so I guess that's a plus?

[glaber]

Looks like there's at least enough to hold a contest this time.

Hey. Where's OLDC? I didn't saw it.

[glaber]

It's too early in the morning right now. Give it a few hours.

[*icefox*avp*]

Alright! I'll wait some hours.

[Monster Iestyn]

I take it both Mystic and Prime 2.0 must both be too busy to start up the OLDC voting right now, sorry about that guys. =V

Doesn't mean the submission deadline is extended at all presumably, that said. That thing already passed last night (or whatever it was in your timezones) if anyone here missed it.

[Mystic]

Yeah, Monster has it. Sorry I forgot to put up a delay message this time. I should be able to get to it either tonight or tomorrow.

[XEFAGame]

[glaber]

just be aware that it's only 1 level per category per contest

[XEFAGame]

Yes, I know.

[Blaze The Cat]

Can multiplayer levels (CTF, Match) have any form of Lua coding? Like, if I were to make a special effect with Lua in a level, would that be allowed, or not?

[Monster Iestyn]

Nope, Multiplayer levels cannot use any custom resources or SOCs/Lua scripts.

[RedEnchilada]

Besides, *cough*
