OOH OOH!! I KNOW!!!!!11111!!!!!one!!!!!0n3!!!11!

How about it leads to that twilight place from PM2 where Doopliss is the extra boss?
hehehehehehehheh...

Huh, I didn't know there was an unused submap. Anyway, I really think the switch palaces should be together in their own area. I hate to spoil your PM2 idea, but I have a great idea on how this extra submap can be of use to get to Bowser's castle. In fact, I might want to edit that submap myself.
What are your guys' opinions?

EDIT: Ah, I didn't see that previous post.
So, yeah, good idea. You guys can email me your roms and I'll insert some into the main one.
Email will be vital in communication. It's one of the few things I know that lets you send attachments, and we'll be doing that often in this hack.


ALSO: I'll show a preview of the hack to everyone when World 2 is done. Staff members get to see it when World 1 is done.

ZTaimat, I have world 2-1's layout already implemented in my head but I need to know where it is located on the world 2 map so I can see if it fits in well enough. Can you send my a screen of the full world 2 (its hard to make out where to start off in the above screen) or an ips of the game when you have all of the OWs complete, you can pm me on this board (a screen would be fine actually)Great job on those OWs by the way

Here is w2 with the events passed:



The gold arrows show normal ways out, red arrows the secret way.

Oh yes, I've decided on a new story...

--Bowser had always kidnaped Princess peach, and Mario had always saved her. Blah blah blah. One day, completly enraged by his 100 billionth defeat, Bowser decided to go to rouge port, back underground to the shadow queens chamber. Bowser got Kamek to cast the spell of revive on the tomb...

The earth rattled and shook more violent than ever before, the candles in the room turned a dark black, they each looked like an eclipse, too hard to look at with out hurting the eyes. Shadows began pooring out from the tomb, a loud shreek was herd. Kamek and Bowser jumped back in surprize.

"WHO SUMMONS ME BACK FROM THE GRAVE!?" The shadow queen said in a deep voice.

Bowser gulped loudly, his eyes hardly the size of a head of a pin. "I-I-I, Bowser, K-King of koopas do!"

The shadow queen paused for a moment while staring at Bowser and Kamek. "WHY HAVE YOU REVIVED ME? ARE YOU TRUELY THAT STUPID?"

Bowser nudged Kamek forward with his foot. "We come to ask you of a favor..." Kamek told the Queen.

"AHH PATHETIC MORTALS, ASKING ME FOR A FAVOR? YOU TWO MUST BE TRUELY FOOLISH, I COULD KILL YOU BOTH WITH OUT TRYING... BUT... THAT DEPENDS... WHAT IS YOUR 'FAVOR'...?"

Kamek now near-faint had growned: "W-We came to ask you to help us d-defeat... Mario"

"WHAT!? THAT MENNACE? WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU THINK I COULD DO? HE DEFEATED ME EASILY, MY THREE DRAGONS AS WELL."

"Maybe if we team up we could get rid of him?" Bowser pondered out loud.

"HRM... YOU SEEM VERY STRONG... BUT YOU DONT SEEM TO SMART..."

"WHAT!? You dare to call The great lord Bowser dumb!?" Bowser shouted with out thinking.

"AHAHAHA! YOU'LL DO FINE! IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KILL MARIO, I DONT THINK YOU'LL MIND!!"

"W-What are you...??" Were bowsers last words as the shadow queen entered Bowsers body.

"L-Lord Bowser!" Kamek was stunned "Please forgive me!!" Kamek pled as she ran out of the room.

"EEYAHAHAHAHAHAAA!! NOW THAT MEDELSOM BOWSER SHALL FALL TO MY MIGHT!!" Shadow Bowser shouted. "EYAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!"

...Meanwhile...

Over in the 359th yoshi house from Yoshi's Isle, Mario notaced dark clouds forming in the sky. He then saw what looked like Bowser fly off into the distance carying Peach.

"HELP me Mario!!" Peach yelled down below as Shadow Bowser flew into the distance.

"YAHAHAHAH! GOOD JOB GIRL, YOU HAVE PLACED THE BAIT!!"

"W-What do you mean?" Asked Peach.

"I AM THE SHADOW QUEEN IN BOWSERS BODY! THIS TIME, MARIO SHALL DIE! I HID THE SWITCH PALACES IN MY TEMPLE BEHIND THE Thousand Year Door!"

"N-No..."

"YES! NOW LETS JUST SEE IF MARIO CAN FIND ME LET ALONE DEFEAT ME!"

...Back near yoshi 359's house...

"Muma me-a!!" Mario shouted, "Look like-a Bowsers at it again!"
"LETSA GOO!!" Mario shouted as he head down the path leading to a small area where koopas and goombas were gathering...--

Thank you, Thank you *takes a bow*

Still links to the hidden switches, AND its kinda more interesting

One problem: In the final battle against Bowser, wouldn't the Shadow Queen go to her true form when Bowser is defeated? Plus, I'm sure he would fear the Shadow Queen turning against him, seeing what she did to Grodus in PM2. Besides, I'd rather my story was not bumped out of the hack.

...Gruble...

Your right

My story wont work unless we manage to asm bowser to change his sprite each time he leave the screen. (Part 1,: him, part 2: him with dark aura, part 3: shadow queen)

Ahh well, seemed like a good idea at the time

Maybe I'll use the spare map to make a lava world before bowsers place.... yah, that'd work... then ppl can make lava levels and bowsers world will be a 'darkness' world.

The patch won't be needed. All you need to is to make some levels on an empty rom and then send them to me.

I've noticed that the level ideas in the log clash with the OW in a bad way. In the log, 2-1 is about Mario sneaking into a ship to cross the ocean. The overworld shows a ghost house. Unless the ghost house represents something else then I'm mistaken.

Since I am the main level editor for this hack, I think it would be my responsibility to ensure that all 5 level editors know what parts they are doing. Ok so INSERT COIN will do the winter world. Since I cant start hacking levels for 2 weeks, we need at least one of the level hackers to make the remaining levels on world 2. I'll post a link to a page on my site later which will contain the info on world types and how many levels are in each plus who is doing what.
NOTE: The directors have the power to edit any level they want. Remember that. So don't feel down if you are rejected for making a request on making a level.

Like the log said, the levels will vary. Since I haven't seen the full map, I can't yet make all of the level ideas as they might not fit with the overworld. So, like ZTaimat said earlier, I'm going to have to shift the level ideas over by at least one.

Sure. Since I don't know how many levels there will be in Ice World, you should just do two for now. I'll do the custom boss level, and ZTaimat will do the castle.

Speaking of which, how many levels will Ice World have, ZTaimat?

Here is a detailed layout on who's doing what in level layouts.
http://www.freewebs.com/sk26/mlthegreatexodus.htm
It will be updated regularly. If you are interested in a position just tell me.

EDIT: ZTaimat, whats the point of having secret exits in the levels above if they just lead back to a previous level?

Incoming transmission from INSERT COINs HQ:

-Is this working? I cant hear my speech...

-Yes, its on and they can hear you, mr. president.

-Oh.

So, I am just asking if ZTaimat,
the OW designer could add to World 5 that half of it is in a cave.

Nothing else, now im off to design that World!

Everyone is doing a level for the special world.
I don't yet know how many levels are in each world. I'm waiting for confirmation from BW and ZT on that.

Oh and more than one level designer can work on the same world.

Just thought I'd point that out.

Anyway, just start on any level. I already said, once you make your levels, just save your levels as separate files and email them to me or ZTaimat. As long as they're christmassy and of correct level difficulty, we can insert them where needed.

ok,

1) Everyone just work on ANY type of level you want. the leves shall be ordered by me and bluW, we dont want one speciic world to have its Message box state the same author each time.

2) Read my biggy thread on page 3 with the world orders to find out wich world has how many levels.

I'll post a screeny of an event finished world 5 asap.

Just remember ZT, you may be co-directer but BW is still in charge. Don't abuse your power too much. Levels are up to you then, thats ok but telling everyone to make random levels and then submit them just wont work properly. If you want this group hack to turn out right, you have to organise it. Most group hacks have actually been canceled because of shody organisation. Find out what the level designers want to do first, tell them what kind of difficulty it should be and then leave them off to make their levels. So far it doesn't look good (except for the overworld and story, they look fine)

Alright, you're in, but this is the last level designer I'm taking. If anyone else wants to join, choose a different job.
