Speed Boost is sunken into start pad. Finish pad is rotated the wrong way. You're still using mbu_edge_white2 for the edges of slopes.
Very nice editing, but little replayability. Almost all of level can be skipped. If the layout was stretched horizontally ten times, it would be much better and would make possible more speed.
4.65!

Nice level, but I agree with Pablo. OMG, Pablo's skills have really improved, I got 4.60 only.

The speed boost looks alright to me but next time I'll make it higher. 2. Which way do I have to rotate the finish pad? Isn't it like supposed to face you from where you're coming? 3. What am I supposed to use for the edges? 4. Is there any video out there on how to make a curved road, because that's my next step. Thanks!

NEW LEVEL! I have worked on this one for about 3 days and it is MUCH better than the other ones I have made. I now know how to make curves, pipes, bumps, and basic stuff so this is my first more advanced level. I hope you guys enjoy! Ramps, Curves, & Gems www.mediafire.com/?hll7a6m7s19c2h2BTW I will be modifying the first post because this is my fifth level! P.S. Thanks to Pablo for constructive criticism, Imperial for the no TM catch, PerishingFlames for the pipes/pie slices tuts, and Cyberfox for the bumps tut.

Some misalignments of grids (two black lines right next to each other). Some squares are squashed. You use two colors of trim, which is bad (regular and MBU). Trim at the entrances to the halfpipes, rather than at their sides, is unsightly. Finish pad is rotated correctly (finally) but isn't quite lined up with the grids.
Overall very nice job, considering how new you are to level building. If this is what you can do after one week, I can't imagine how good you'll be years from now.

Pipes should be smoother Overall, great level, in terms of gameplay and replayability. However, the color choice and trim choices are not great. 23.49s so far. I don't see how the UT is possible

Best level from you yet. Btw, UT's possible, but it's extra hard to get it. I wil suggest making it a bit higher. 19.23 from me.

A good level of medium size. However, the long stairs near the end are repetitive and kind of bumpy (the upper stairs are too close). However, I think it's good in terms of level editing. Keep it up! Nice UT, 29.57 for now (can be better).

Thanks man I was really focusing on the editting this time. I wasn't even planning it to be with ice, but I thought it would be more challenging and fun with it.

Four Paths (18.43)The newest level from George, a relative newcomer to the MB community. His level building skills have been steadily improving, and this is his best level so far. The interior is well-built, the level is replayable and fun, and there is definitely potential for pathway-finding. Though there is a lack of creativity/originality, I still enjoy this level. With that said, this video shows the ultimate time pathway for this level. The world record, currently held by imperialcuirassier, is 17.68. I assume that this path is the one (or close to the one) he used. Nothing special about the path really; it's not hard to pull off. Song used: No News - Lonestar Enjoy! =) www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U8px9y97Ao

NEW LEVELS! Hey Guys, sorry I haven't been posting in a while. It's just that school started and i had a lot of work on my hands, but little by little I started working on these levels. I wanted to make it a level pack but I thought it would be better if I released the first 3 first so that it would finish "set 2" of five levels. These levels I'm releasing now are nothing compared to a few of the other ones in progress (and some already made). I'll just wait a little bit before releasing anything else so I hope you guys enjoy!

Which is the best of those three?

Post by Imperial on Aug 22, 2010 0:41:39 GMT
Glad you're still making levels! Btw when your levels are in progress, you can post some pics about it or at least write something to show that you're still alive and making levels. Water Path: Short level but I love its colour. Frictious: Best of the three. You make use of the frictions and begin to make better levels. To The Roof: Good texture but the last part is annoying (too small for the marble ) and also a bit repetitive. Anyway, great job and can't wait for your future levels!

I have one level in particular that is really good and I can't wait to release it!!!
But first I have to complete my other one (which I only have an interior for) and make the outofboundstrigger smaller.

Frictious was okay. Fun the first time, but no replayability whatsoever. Looking forward to more complex levels. As Imperial said, it would be great to post some in-progress pics to keep us hanging.

Personally the only level I liked was Water Path. The nice UT should have been set a bit lower though, as I got a good 3.5x on my second try. Looking forward to more levels

Good level, it's a diamond collection type level which I also like. UT is easy though. Can't wait for your best level to come out.

NEW LEVEL!!! This is the one I was talking about. The reason I call it the best is probably because it's the best one I made so far and I personally enjoy it. There were like 3 versions of the level but I decided to stick with this one. 1. No time mods no gem 2. No gem with time mods 2.5 Less time mods 3. gem and time mods (I changed UT and PT every version) G3orge's Challenge www.mediafire.com/?2l3ekzx4547529y(BTW, my best is 1.93 and almost got 1. 92)

Definitely your best. Your skills are improving dramatically, but I caution you to take care about LE alignments - many TMs were sunk into the interior or not scaled to fit in close quarters.
You should enter the PQ level competitions! See the MBP board.

Interesting level but how can you get a TT that fast? My best catch was like high 2s.
