A new level is going to be released sometime near the end of January: X-Treme Marble Skillz. It will feature an intertwining path with many challenges, including the first-ever moving half pipe, moving bowl, and moving piece of trim (Hard). The level will have some Intermediate challenges, and some expert. It will feature a new [hybrid] texture along the lines of the mbu_neutral series. It will take a long time due to the fact that I can only build at EAPidgeon's house (he has a Windows comp)

Xtreme Marble Skillz: Progress:
•Planning
•Building
•Testing
•Released


Some pics (lol, I just started construction)

[edit]Fck, the upload phailed, but here's a pic from my corrupted file:

Sounds exciting and unique!

By the way, moving trim was (sort of) my idea. See the challenge in the Expert level, Sand Storm. I was originally going to use the normal sized trim, but it turned out to be too hard. If you're going to do it, I suggest making the movement speed very slow

@Phil: It's not like that, more like a trim that moves somewhat like the MP in Natural Selection =)

It's a start.

What's wrong with the thickness of the plats? Either they're 32 thick or the textures are .25 .25......

Judging from the start pad size, your texture size is fine but the platforms are two thick. Please reduce their height by half to 16 Constructor units.

I can't say without seeing how large your entire grid texture is, but no matter what, one square should be 64 units on each side.

Just what I said. Each little red square in the second pic you posted should be 64 units long, which means that if you have a 128-wide platform (Cstr tells you the width) you should change the tex scale so there are two squares going across.

Correspondingly, trim is 16 units tall, so scale it to 100% in all directions if you have a 16-unit high face to apply it to.

If you want some help with your map, you can send it to me next time you have access to it. I'll be glad to give you some pointers.

The level looks good, keep it up.

It looks more like that's just what his brush outline color is set to.

I have to agree with Steven; it looks like the curvy slope is malformed. The other problem is that you're saving it as a .csx file. Don't do that! .Csx files allow you to create malformed shapes that would otherwise not load in a .map file and would not convert in Map2dif. The one exception is with pyramids.

The red lines follow exactly the sides of the brushes- it's just the outline of them, not indications of concave/convex brushes.

Just one thing, you might want to change the texture of the side of the curves. It looks a bit wrong, in my opinion

No, the blue squares. Stick with mbu_edge_white2.
Also, on the sides of the slope with yellow arrows, change to mbu_edge_white to avoid the bad horizontal lines.

Looks great!
