That's Tricky's fault...Also who's this Sanae Moriya chick?
That's Tricky's fault...Time to go yell at him :madeyes:
He wrote it not me!
Just to clarify, is it alright to make a fight against Mugetsu and Gengetsu or would I have to choose one of them? The way you said it was kinda ambiguous.
It's alright to make a fight against both of them, they just don't need to be together if you'd rather just do one or the other.I see, thanks. I think I'll participate with both of them and Doremy as a midboss.
...with each nonspell and spell being one pattern....
While I don't think my script will run afoul of it either way, I do have a question about the definition of a "pattern".
.
Does this mean that a pair of Non Spell>Spell Card is one pattern, or would they be considered two patterns?
Each individual attack, be it a nonspell or a spell or some weird mix of the two, is a pattern. For example a typical extra boss has 8 nonspells and 10 spells or 18 patterns total.
Ah, alright. I take it this means that a brief spell/nonspell which isn't an attack wouldn't count as a pattern, then?I'm not sure what you mean, are you referring to something like the "fake" Alice nonspell in PCB that ends on its own after a few seconds? If so, I don't really know what category that would fall under. I would probably not count it as a pattern for purposes of counting.
...with each nonspell and spell being one pattern...Sorry for the confusion, I just modified the first post to fix that typo. It should read:
...with each nonspell or spell being one pattern...
Are we allowed to have multiple bosses/midbosses from the list on screen? Either each with their own health bar or with a shared healthbarYes. Try not to go overboard with this and have 9 different bosses with one lifebar each or something ridiculous like that though.
I was thinking of midboss Chen and Ran and boss Ran and YukariAnd playable character Seija
Are official midbosses like Chen and Kogasa allowed to be main bosses in the scripts we make?No, Chen and Kogasa can be midbosses but not the main boss.
No, Chen and Kogasa can be midbosses but not the main boss.
As a reminder valid main bosses are any of the following:
Rika, Mugetsu, Gengetsu, Alice Margatroid, Flandre Scarlet, Ran Yakumo, Yukari Yakumo, Fujiwara no Mokou, Suwako Moriya, Koishi Komeiji, Nue Houjuu, Mamizou Futatsuiwa, Raiko Horikawa, Hecatia Lapizlazuli and Okina Matara
Valid midbosses are any of the following:
Mysterious Orb, Trump King, Patchouli Knowledge, Chen, Ran Yakumo, Keine Kamishirasawa, Kanako Yasaka, Sanae Kochiya, Kogasa Tatara, Nue Houjuu, Benben Tsukumo, Yatsuhashi Tsukumo, Doremy Sweet, Mai Teireida and Satono Nishida
Hmmm I was planning to have the midboss assist the main boss for the final spell >< Guess I have to change stuff!Well, THAT seems fine actually. As long as it's just an assist and the main boss is on the approved list.

Oki! Fixed a few things! Here's the script!
It's done!

There's a unlockable bonus content at the end (not for contest purpose, aka. don't judge this part)
I can't unrar your entry. It says 'No files to extract'. Don't know what the problem is, but you might want to confirm on your end that other people can download the entry and unrar it on their machine.It works for me using 7zip just fine. What are you using?

Planned to have Okina as the main boss. Not sure yet whether to include midbosses or not.Changed over to Hecatia a while ago since I've found an unfinished Hecatia script lying around in my computer.
Unless I state otherwise, I will be downloading all entries at the same time after the deadline. I can't speak for Tricky, but I'm pretty sure he'll be doing the same.
Unfortunately, I had to scrap a planned final spell due to time constraints.Nevermind, I could still complete the final spell just in time. Updated to v1.10.
Thursday, October 2, or Saturday, October 4thYou mean November :V
You mean November :V
I'm so close to finishing but I'm so tense! :ohdear:Yeah, it's the same for me. I don't think that I'll be able to finish within the time limit but I am so close that it's possible for it to happen.
Happy Halloween everyone! It was fun to play all the new scripts as they released. Looking forward to the results!I wan't to play the scripts right now but I only have my IPad. I'm downloading them one I get my computer.
I have the whole stream recorded with Chat to whoever needs it! But it's 21.6 GB, So beware!
Have Fun!
or you can just watch the video on twitch :vFor some reason, there is one person who really wants the stream with chat. Oh well, I guess that's fine.

Gonna stream it as well!It was quite embarrassing when your player blasted through all the attacks. X|

-I'm using the ZUN Extended Shotsheet, which I thought was the most common one. I guess there's a more recent one that I just didn't turn up in my Bulletforge trawling?Oh crap, that wouldn't happen to be this one (http://www.bulletforge.org/u/ozzy/p/zun-expanded-shotsheet-for-ph3) that I made ages ago, would it? Haha, if so then those WERE my fireballs that I commented on in the stream. I swear I remember them looking a bit different but maybe it's just been that long.
I am tentatively setting my stream to be tomorrow Nov 2nd at 5PM EST. This time slot may change due to real life scheduling conflicts or if I need to change location.Cool. What platform do you stream on? Twitch? YouTube?
Gonna stream it as well!

Gonna stream it as well!The most notable issue I've seen so far of my script is the lacking balance of the boss' HP, among some others, in multiple patterns:

Gonna stream it as well!From what I've seen, I guess the biggest issue in my script was lack of warning for unconventional stuff... I guess I should take that in consideration for my next script more :V At least I can see I've improved from my last script from RaNGE 17.

Stream concluded. Will do the last three entries (Awalys, GenoCraft, Rawsom) on Saturday probably.Such A Shame. Oh well.
Don't think I can continue - I'm thoroughly exhausted after 3 hours of streaming.
-Apparently I really needed to include my recommended player in the stage description[Or just make my own player and hardcode it in] because only two people have actually used the one I asked for. Ultima's Reimu and even the default Rumia actually seemed to do just as well, but the Artifact Marisa one somehow glitched out my score tracking mechanism.
I think I had A2 Marisa use a built-in scoring mechanism for my Artifact 2 entry, so yeah, that's probably why.

UPDATE: I plan to stream the last three entries at around 8 PM EST on Saturday Nov 4, 2017

EDIT: Stream is now up and live.
EDITTTTT: Stream has concluded @Awalys: I cannot give you a video because I could not beat your script after three tries.

Welp. If that isn't a sign of quality script balancing then I don't know what it is. /s

We've made good progress on judging the entries so expect results by the end of the weekend!Can't wait for the results. Though I already know that I'm placing dead last. But I still want to know how others fared too!
Hi everyone. I know Tricky said we'd be done by the end of the weekend but my last weekend was quite a bit more busy than I had anticipated. Rest assured that I am making progress and just want to play all of the entries one more time before I submit my final judgment. I expect that we will have the results out within the week.Dammit. I was so excited about the results and I thought this was it. It's okay Ozzy though.
Thank you for your patience!
Well, at least I'm not the worst. :VI want to say that I actually thought your script had really cool ideas
I loved participating in this contest. Really got me back into Danmakufu. (although after I finished my entry I feel completely burnt out again...)
Congratulations to the winners, of course!
Talking about the next contest, can you give an estimate for when it will be?
Talking about the next contest, can you give an estimate for when it will be?We try to not do them too often to avoid contest fatigue. I wouldn't want to run another one until at least next February, personally.
