Autumn 2016 LD Contest [VOTING]

[Colorful Arty]

We can start it early

[IchoTolot]

If other people can still enter-----then let's simply extend the playing phase starting from Dec 1 for example.

An nxp pack with all the levels (+ working custom music ) would be nice to have again.

[mobius]

----Okay---- The playing phase has officially begun. The original post will be edited with the folder of levels.
-I will make an nxp pack of all the levels but I'll have to upload this tomorrow at the earliest--not enough time at the moment.

-Included is all the levels, by Author, with music files and graphic files where necessary. I'll post more tomorrow with more info.

[Flopsy]

Uploaded an nxp version to my Dropbox for simplicity

Hopefully I have arranged the levels into the correct rules, please let me know if there are any mistakes.

Also there were some tilesets missing which we added in, hopefully it means the nxp is fully playable. Please let us know if any levels are unplayable due to tileset errors, it is hard to identify if a single piece from an obscure graphic set has been used.

Note: On testing this nxp, there is a problem with mobius's R2 level (Level 6 - after IchoTolot's level). It produces an error message which closes Neo Lemmix, to get to namida and RTW's entries, just scroll backwards from Level 1.
EDIT: This error message seems to be native to just me but I was able to play the level in the Neo Lemmix editor's test mode by extracting the tancastle tileset to my styles folder for the editor.

It produces an error message which closes Neo Lemmix, to get to namida and RTW's entries, just scroll backwards from Level 1.

Didn't download yet to test - does it even give this error message on the level select screen? If not, using that is also an option.

Played the Rule 1 levels. Replays (recorded in V10.011.011-B) attached.

My feedback:

bulletride's "Hard Hats Required"

I like the concept behind this one, but in practice I found it quite fiddly to execute. Overall, a decent level, but not a particularly amazing one.

Flopsy's "On The Dancefloor"

This one I found to mostly just be a matter of getting the position of the builders right. Avoiding a splat on the left required a bit of clever thinking, but aside from this, it mostly just felt like a builder-heavy level.

GigaLem's "Sugar Honey Ice Tea"

Now this level, I really liked! The choice to go with a non-constructive skill worked well, I think, and this level made good use of it - it required some clever thinking, without requiring much in the way of precision. Great level, and definitely my favorite of the Rule 1 levels - we'll have to wait and see how it stacks up against the Rule 2 and Rule 3 levels.

[IchoTolot]

I will start uploading a video live-playthrough when a 100% functional nxp is online. Even though it is only 1 defect level in there, I still wanna wait until everything is alright

[namida]

The NXP works fine for me, even on the supposedly faulty level (using player V10.011.011-B; which is the same version Flopsy said he uses; I also had my config the same, so not sure what's going on here).

The only issue, and this is an EXTREMELY minor one, is that at least one music file is missing. If you put the attached music file in your "music" folder, that'll sort that issue out.

[IchoTolot]

I get the error message: "ObtainObject loop on "tancastle:o0". Please report this"     when trying to access that level

Playing it in the editor works. But I get the same error when trying to acces it as a single level with the player directly.

[namida]

That's the same error Flopsy got. This is strange, especially since it works when playtesting from the editor, despite that this should make zero difference (assumign the graphic set is present in both cases). For me, any method of accessing it (editor, single level or NXP) works fine, on both V10.011.011 and V10.011.011-B (I didn't test V10.010.010; Flopsy reported no issues with V1.48-B).

[IchoTolot]

This seems strange indeed. I tried this with  V10.011.011-B + the alternative version btw.

Maybe I will start recording soon regardless. Then I will play the level afterwards in editor playtest mode.

[namida]

I haven't tried on the -alt version, but it shouldnt' make a difference. I will check that out tomorrow.

Flopsy: Can you confirm whether you were using V10.011.011-B or V10.011.011-B-alt?

[mobius]

I know I need to address some things but it may have to wait a day or so. I'm very sorry but a bunch of things have come up and I don't have the time. Fortunately most of these problems are not big; I'll fix my level and include anything I forgot. If anyone else is able/willing to fix the issue before I can, you may do so. The contest will still go about as normal.
Please keep the replays and discussion on this topic and post updates in the update topic I just made.

[Flopsy]

I haven't tried on the -alt version, but it shouldnt' make a difference. I will check that out tomorrow.

Just the standard B version.

[GigaLem]

Here's my first set of Replays

ColorfulArty's Levels

Spoiler

GREAT SCOTT
I think I backrouted this one, plus unless executed right, you shouldn't give me a choice to instantly block at the beginning.

Return of the beast
Too easy for my liking

Mobius's Levels

Spoiler

Turbo Time
Aside from the steel, its not really that different, its pretty easy once you figured out how to delay the lemmings

Slaughter House
I think I found another backroute, fun level and nice pallet change for the tileset

Flopsy's On the dance floor

Spoiler

Now this is how to make a fun builder fest, knowing when and how to position builders, i never had to hit the space bar once

Namida's Levels

Spoiler

Stoned Steps
Almost stumped me, but i think with a little air stoning (Yeah im coining it now) I backrouted this level

The Doubly Hard-for-Flopsy level
AKA the Easy-for-Giga level, again I think I backrouted this one
