Rules on Feedback

As a RaNGE Contest, it is both encouraged and recommended that spectators and fellow scripters give feedback to each other on their contest entries. Constructive criticism is excellent for learning how to make a better script, especially as the goal here is to promote Danmakufu and help scripters improve. However, there are some rules that should be followed

First and foremost, please send your feedback by PM. Publicly posting feedback in this thread on someone's script is not allowed. If you want to give feedback to the scripter, always try to do it in a way where judges will not accidentally see it. This means using paste bin when posting feedback on Bulletforge, etc.

And as a reminder, although this is a contest, it is really about making the best possible script. Don't keep everything secret - make sure you get people to test your script BEFORE you submit your final entry.

Notes:
-Absolute Pathing: Using script/ContestEntry/thing.txt is a bad, bad idea. If someone renames the ContestEntry folder, which I for one almost certainly will, your script will break and will crash. Always, ALWAYS test on someone else's computer.
-You may contact a judge to see if your script will crash on their computer.
-Have fun!

^Thank you Sparen.

A-Q

Quote

Would multiple spells at once, with independent lifebars and scripts be counted as separate spells in the final count, or as one?

Yes. The better phrase here would probably be "Spell Phase," or anytime there will be spell card(s) active.

Quote

Do I/We HAVE to do a midboss/stage?

Only if you're in a group.

Quote

Will midbosses and stages be scored in the overall script?

Yes. This will be an "extra credit" per se, but it can hurt you, however.

Quote

Does the midboss have to be on the list?

nope can be any Touhou character, official or fangame.

(also added these to the OP, and the OP is where it'll be updated)

PhantomSong: Please link this post in the OP (Feedback guidelines) because it will be lost quickly: https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,18639.msg1197800.html#msg1197800

Regarding judging, each judge has their own preferences. Some may consider extra credit for mid bosses and stages, but they WILL detract from your overall score if they are done poorly.

Beats me, but at least it might have an influence on variety.

It's time for me to get...creative.

Yeah, i'll enter this, since I said i'd post one for the last contest but didn't.
Only 30 characters, yet one decision? Alright, i'll do something I haven't done before. I'll do Rumia!
Let's see what I can do with this!

Thanks for telling me.

Guess I should try and make a script for this.

My character? You'll find out I guess. ~~it's nazrin~~

Sparen · « **Reply #48 on:** July 15, 2015, 09:51:39 PM »

Time is ticking, about two weeks remain.
We wish more many entries, and hopefully no disdain.

As always, please make sure you submit your entries before the deadline, and if you haven't started and still want to participate, please begin soon, or you will run out of time.

As of now, there will most likely be a 24 hour or so update-only window after the stream before judging begins so that bugs found during the stream can be fixed, but recall that Entries not submitted before the deadline will be ignored. If you don't submit early enough to make it into my stream, you will most likely be disqualified.

Of course, remember that you should get as much feedback as possible from your peers. This is more than a contest - it's a place for you to learn, be challenged, and be the best you can be.

Drake · « **Reply #49 on:** July 15, 2015, 10:37:14 PM »

Nazrin wasn't in top 30 though. I would know.

WEELLLLLLLLLLLLLL... I usually let there be a point of grace(usually deadline is in before the end of that day, just for you Drake), and that's usually posted in here like

~Here marks the end of submissions, all entries past here will not be judge~ or something like that. We'll see.

Sparen · « **Reply #53 on:** July 16, 2015, 03:05:33 AM »

For all practical purposes though, the deadline for new submissions is going to be the stream. I'm not going to wait extra hours for a submission because I'm going to be leaving the country basically the next day and everything needs to be ready.

And yes, that means that judging WILL take longer because I will be in Paris for like two weeks and I won't have as much time to go through each script.

If this is an issue I can(and will) find other judges. There are still spots for those.

If we're allowed to update our scripts as much as we want, there's no harm in posting this. I'm going to be busy the next few weeks, so this may or may not be my final entry (probably not). link~
