    • (un-named) project log and a question


      well since my first 2 level sets have been utter failures,why not go for 3? 😉

      I was listening to one of the audio files on (url="http://"http://www.newgrounds.com")www.newgrounds.com(/url) and found a song that inspired me to make this level,and i thought why not make a set,try to improve my shatttered reputation. right now i have 2 levels done, #3 is in the works

      also,the question:how do you format(spelling?) a quicktime(mp3) file so it doesnt crash ferazel every time the level starts?

      ------------------

    • Wild guess, but have you tried changing the extension?

      Its nice to see some people coming back. i cant say I'm an expert at making levels, but I do tend to spend a long time making levels, and at least usually, they turn out well. I find that one major aspect of a map is how it looks. If you have a map with decent gameplay, but is ugly as hell, it's not reallyas fun. When your making a level, pay attention to detail, add a lot of objects and scenery, and playtest like crazy so you know if there are any bugs beforehand. You really dont need beta testers to find bugs.

      From (url="http://"http://m4d.ferazel.net/")MASCOT For Dummies(/url)...

      • The name of the file is set in the level info.

      • To use your own music, make a 22.05Khz Stereo 16Bit IMA 4:1 file, and name it a number.

      • Use ResEdit to set its creator code to 'Nqst', and its file type to 'AIFC'.

      • IMA is a type of compression.

      • It is suggested that you use QuickTime Pro and/or SndSampler to edit your files.

      Hope that helps 🙂

    • Open the sound file with Quicktime player and choose export from the file menu. Click on the advanced options button and modify all the settings so that they match those needed. Click export file. (Note that the name on the button may not be advanced options, and since I do not have access to my mac at the moment I can't check it out for you.)

      I'm sorry, I just had to welcome Knight of NI back. You've been missing forever.

      I think the button is "Save", or at least it is in Mac OS X. It might differ in earlier versions of QuickTime.

      I am doing my 1 year long military service and have no access to my mac at the moment. I just browse the forums when I have nothing to do at work, which means that my appearance here is quite random. Is the OBW-project still alive?
