Buzzmusic's levels (NEW: The Devil)

Thanks for taking the time to give me some constructive criticism! I have 22:98. I will post a video of 3 runs sometime soon (a week at most). How do I do the texturing you've suggested? - Buzzmusic

Select the faces, hit the Unify texture alignment button, then hit the Face texture alignment. Then, you can position and scale the faces together as if it were one face.

this level is good for edge hits

42-day late response... But thanks a lot! I'm honored to hear that from the REAL best active level builder! I think the top 5 MB level builders are (in no order) Phil, Matan, Pablo, Andrew, and Pascal. - Buzzmusic100

I would easily put Oaky near the top of that group. No Jumping II is the greatest level I have ever played, and then he holds ownership of some of the other fantastic levels out there. Also, was it Moshe that made Camp 2? I'm considering compiling my 100 favorite custom levels of all time into a list or video.

On a side note, Buzz your levels are always fun to play! I have yet to try out your newest creation, but I shall soon!

Moshe also made Camp 1, which won LotY (I think with unanimous 10s). Looking forward to your list or video. If you make it a video, it should have 10-20 levels, not 100.

That's a great idea! I think I'm gonna try that too. We can see how ours compare.

Top 5 builders: Phil, Oaky, Pablo, Andrew, Moshe imo.

It wouldn't be one video. It'd be a few videos, maybe 20 in each one, but it would only have a small sliver of each level being played in it. I won't be playing through each level, just showcasing them.

Technostar and I are making a level called Triscraper Ascent! We're almost done. We just need a tester. PM me or Mr. E and we'll give you the link. - Buzzmusic100

We now have a tester!

Next time, please edit your post instead of making a new one. Thanks.

Here is the biggest level I have made yet! It's called Enormous Road. I hope you enjoy it!

PT and UT: 2:40 and 2:00. Note: I have not yet gotten the UT. But I'm pretty sure it's possible. - Buzzmusic100



Stay tuned for the level that Technostar and I are working on together.

that looks amazing! Awesome job!

Interesting. I can't see any checkpoints though; that worries me. '~'

There are. Play and see. Thank you both!

Looks great. Downloading.

Does anyone remember Xelna's amazing Highway to Marbleland?

It's fun just looking at it!

That's an awesome level. It was so hard for when I played it the first time (like most of Xelna's levels). I spent hours trying to beat the level, but it was so replayable and unique.

Even more memorable than the level itself, is Matan's video of it, with Tzuf singing that tune. If you hear it once, it stays in your head forever.

Alright, I need help. I got to the part Moving Conundrum and have no idea what to do! There's no platforms or anything, just 2 gems floating below me, and if I get one I go OOB.

EDIT: Your level picture shows what appears to be an MP where I am stuck. Could it be broken?

If you use windows, make sure the MP in the .mis points to marble/ instead of platinum/ . And vice versa.

I was correct:

Quote:interiorResource = platinum/data/interiors/enormroad3.dif;
Change to marble/data etc. and it'll work again. I think people need to start releasing levels in mbp 1.14 and 1.20 formats (marble/ and platinum/) unless PF is going to fix it for us.

Like I said before, before releasing their levels, level authors need to replace all instances of interiorResource = marble/data
or interiorResource = platinum/data

With interiorResource = $usermods @ /data

If they don't do it before releasing, I make the fix for the packs.

Sure enough, it worked!

Hey! This isn't as much as a level as it is a sculpture. It's a giant Rainbow Dash structure from My Little Pony! I'm hoping all of the bronies on this forum enjoy this! And if you get the UT, you are officially 20% cooler!

Here is a level for MBG called Baffling Machinery! It has lots of moving platforms and Buzzmusic100's own textures. I hope you enjoy!

you are awesome!!

Looks nice, hope I won't have to change the script again. Downloading later!

Great level but is the level meant to have a gold time of 11 seconds? Because that's not possible.

A few cons:

- Your MPs need to be using accelerate rather than linear, and some MPs need to have a rest-stop instead of continuing. It makes the normal route be much harder than shortcuts. Likewise, linear makes the marble jump and be thrown at the end of the path, which is very annoying.

- The last fast MP (the 4 elevators going up/down) was much harder than it should have been. The only way I could solve it was diagonal and dropping camera to the floor, as the purple bars become extremely annoying when the camera hits them.

- The 7 secs TT seems to be there just because and serves no real purpose. If it was part of a challenge it's understandable, but comparing this to the remainder of the level it seems pointless and out of the way. It's like you added it because of an I have to add in a TT attitude. It's okay if your levels are TT-less, no one will chew you for that.

- The last 3 MPs before the ending seem a bit harsh. You don't give the player much time to jump to the next MP (at least that's me). Puzzle is nice, wish the MPs were tad slower.

- The quaked path thing was bad. I like the idea, but it failed completely because you were coming from a gravity change. In other words, your marble drops on a fast moving MP and you don't get a say in spin/speed/control. Since the MP's markers are 'linear', your marble is also thrown to the sides in an even greater speed if you accidentally hit the MP when it's finished the current marker's route and moved to the next one (as again linear makes the marble instantly be thrown/jumped away rather than be smoothed).

I would have stopped playing the level at this point (the quaked path was too much to bear) but then I figured out a shortcut that skipped everything so that was the only way for me to beat the level without being driven insane

Otherwise a good level that the cons really hurt its replayability/fun factor by a lot.

Here's what Buzzmusic100 has to say:

I missed a zero. Sorry, it's supposed to be 1:50 instead 11 seconds.

I see what you mean but that was supposed to make it harder. I don't think the first MPs were that hard. But I see why you dislike the other MPs.

Yeah, I guess so. As hard as I try it takes off barely any time and doesn't really make a difference. So I see what you mean there.


Quote:The last 3 MPs before the ending seem a bit harsh. You don't give the player much time to jump to the next MP (at least that's me). Puzzle is nice, wish the MPs were tad slower.
Considering the rest of the level's difficulty, I have to disagree. Sorry. I tell the player to move quickly in the help trigger.

Once again, I made it linear to make it harder. Sorry if it came off as annoying. Maybe I could've made a platform for you to switch gravity on before the quaked path part.

Thanks for taking the time to give me a thorough review! I'll keep this stuff in mind. I just hope that PF reads the part about the GT and changes it for the monthly level pack.

Here is a new level I made for MBP called The Wall-Hit Monster Course! It's a big one. I hope you enjoy it!

PT and UT: 3:00 and 2:20.



PS, I got the idea from a comment on YouTube somewhere. I wish I could credit that person. - Buzzmusic100

Wow! Although I haven't beaten all of them (most of them), I do love the monster courses from MBP, so I presume this one will be just as fun!
