Community Group Level

I had this idea where each of us makes a mini level using a known MBG interior and then we collect all parts from everybody and make it as one larger level.

So for example:

1) I use the Learn the Super Speed interior where the player has to catch a gem in mid year. The start pad is there too.
2) Bobby then continues the level by implementing a Winding Road interior and gets the player to get some gems and escape fans/tornados.
3) Andrew Sears then continues it by making some gravity tubes or something
4) Beau then does 2 half pipes or something else
5) Someone else continues it too and so on.
6) The last person also gets to choose the position of the End Pad.

Whatcha think? We could take interiors and other parts of levels and make a use of them by making a mini-level.
Each level will have an incoming text message so we know who built what mini-level.

We create the level like this:
1) 1st person does his interior and sends the level to the next person
2) person #2 does his mini-level and sends it (the growing mission file) to #3
3) #3 to #4 and so on until the last person.
Each one of us gets only 1 choice of level!

Each Mini-level has to be in the medium challenge and so IT MUST NOT BE HARD BUT NOT TOO EASY!

So.. who wants to go first (start pad + 1st interior)?

I'm going last :P Just so I can choose the twist for the Exit Pad

Oh, and we need to find a name for the level :)


LAST NOTE - I'LL UPLOAD THE FILE FOR DOWNLOAD WITH ALL CUSTOM INTERIORS THAT IT MIGHT REQUIRE!
Also, do we need GT/QT?

I SAID TO SEND IN ANY CUSTOM INTERIORS YOU USED, WHY HAVEN'T NO ONE ADDED THEM??? Please send them in to Andrew Patterson with all custom interiors Perishingflames.

Also I'll revise code and delete whatever stuff required so it works completely fine.

Does anyone have a name to the level?

Level description anyone? helpstarttext?

Quote:QUESTION: WOULD YOU LIKE THE GROUP LEVEL RELEASED IN LEVEL ARCHIVE AND NOT IN THE USUAL FORM (me uploading it to the site and all can download.. like in 4 fold maze or my other levels) SINCE IT WILL BE IN THE LEVEL ARCHIVE V3 ANYWAY??? IF YES, RELEASE OF GROUP LEVEL WILL BE WITH C.L.A.V.3 ONLY AND NOT NORMALLY WHEN IT'S FINISHED.

I'd like it to be released in the level archive, too.

Matan, a few people's levels before mine don't have in bounds triggers, are you going to fill in all the blank stuff when it's your turn? Should i put one in mine? Whenever i have make two IBT triggers and my marble crosses from one to the other it says out of bounds even though the triggers are overlapping...

I'm sorry, Perishing, I meant to send you the interiors but I forgot.

That's all right. I'll probably forget to send interiors to Andrew Patterson. Lol, now that I reminded myself i won't.

"Whenever i have make two IBT triggers and my marble crosses from one to the other it says out of bounds even though the triggers are overlapping..."

The IBTs are BELOW the levels. Not surrounding the levels. I wanted the IBT like in Take the High Road or Skee Ball Bonus.

"Just send them on. Matan can place a few IBT's. ;]"

Of course I can. I know how to put them too. I'll delete unnecessary IBTs (if Perishingflames did as I think he did) and put the correct ones below the levels.

PS - Sorry for late response. I just noticed it was one of the topics I marked as read by mistake.
