When and where would I submit a room?

Anybody who knows what hack this is will get a cookie.

When and where would I submit a room?

You submit your room here.  Check the rules at the top of the page for instruction on WHAT to post, but it's essentially a screenshot from within SMILE (File > Special > Level to Bitmap).  You then open the picture in any basic art package, and save it as a .png file, as the .bmp will usually be HUGE.

For uploading the picture itself, just use one of the many online services, such as imageshack, or get yourself a some general storage space like Dropbox, which allows you to store any file, including pictures.

If you go with the Dropbox option, once you've set your folder up, you just drag the picture you just made in SMILE into the folder, then right-click it, expand the Dropbox menu, and click "Copy Public Link".  You then type your reply here using this in your reply:

Code Select Expand

Thank you quietus, however I was aware of what to submit.
I was unsure about when to do so because the thread had not been reset yet.
I will update this post when I finish my room or decide which one to use.

Edit: Okay, I've decided to submit this one.
[spoiler][/spoiler]
This is my first rotw, so criticism is welcome. The doors, btw, are wip, so don't mind them.

[Quietus]

Well, the basic schedule above applies most of the time, but over busy periods, it gets a bit hit and miss, so bear with the admin team, and it'll be back on track soon. :^_^:

Edit: Or read the original post's edit above. :razz:

[squishy_ichigo]

Soooo, no ROTY this year?

[Scyzer]

No, because this year has just begun :>

[ProjectXVIII]

Win the last week of 2011 AND the first week of 2012? Why not. :P

[Zhs2]

Bump so that people know to vote. :^_^:

My useless opinion of the rooms:
Webber:
Really good level design, nice use of vanilla tiles. Some of the colours aren't the best, but it still looks great.
Blarget:
It doesn't look bad, but it does look too symmetrical. It depends on the purpose of the room, but in general, it should be avoided.
Project18:
Well I love the pallet, however the design could use some work. The background feels a little plain, not bad, just plain. The platforms don't work too well, IMO one design for a platform would have worked better. Spikes look a little odd. Other than that, it's good, and again, the pallet is really nice.

[Blarget2]

you know the room makers can also vote, so if you want to vote on any room you can :/ (unless you are your own 3rd vote lol)

[Quote58]

Thank you, I was aware, however I'm not sure if I will. I wouldn't vote for myself btw.

[Malpercio]

That's kinda expected. Also yes, M2 is underrated. I also say SM is overrated.

[Quote58]

underrated is one word? I should fix that.
My vote went to webber btw.

[Quote58]

The lack of rooms this week is sad.
[spoiler][/spoiler] This was a test of using a pallet I made for a completely different kind of tileset, on vannila tiles (mostly)

Edit: About the doors, don't mind them, just trying something out. No bubbles cuz the pallet didn't work for them, also it's raining in that room.

Grime, didn't you post that room before?

[ProjectXVIII]

Grime, didn't you post that room before?

Yes, but he submitted it after voting had already started, so it wasn't included.

Also:

Valiant for me.  The room was detailed without being cluttered, and occasionally less is more.  Also, the tileset is great when it's used well.

[Zero One]

Shadow96: I like the look of that palette; it really does work well. However, the room seems a bit to square and a bit too sparse for my liking.
Valiant: Simply a fantastic room; you really know your way around that tileset. In fact, it would've won, if it weren't for...
Grime: Whom, in my opinion, produced the greatest and most effective room. It clearly conveys an idea that you are shifting from one area to another and is a very cool bridge.
Project: Very nice throwback to the original Metroid. Not much else to say about it.

Hi all, nice bunch of rooms this week (except for that shadow guy, what was he thinking?) so as always, i shall comment.
valiant[spoiler] i told you i would constructively critisize your room, but it's really a good room. So instead i'll just say that it's well designed, would look great ingame and you should make sure to add a tile under the door. Well done. You have my vote.[/spoiler]
grime[spoiler] i remember thinking it was awesome the first time you showed it. However there's something about it just don't like.[/spoiler]project18[spoiler] it looks okay, i hope you end up finishing the hack.[/spoiler]

wow, this was hard to type on my phone

Edit: fixed more stuff up.
