error message about vertexshader 3.0

Sounds like your Video card is having trouble supporting SMB. I'd try running in low/no detail. If that doesn't work, check to see if Vertex Shader 3.0 is supported by your card, and update your DirectX if necessary.

Cliff Division is great!  Really short and fun level. Much easier than The Death Theorem.
It was fast paced, and enjoyable. If I were a new player, it would be a challenge.

There seemed to be a useless platform off to the side on the bottom left. What was that for?

There's a way to get the bandaid from below, but with the amount of time it takes, it isn't worth it.

Good level! If you have the time, check out mine as well. Good job man!

You can limit where the camera goes by pressing C and dragging a boundary box. It lets you hide parts of the levels.

I'd suggest using a zip file to allow users to download easier.

Anyway feedback!

Your difficulty curve is alright. 1-3 is good, but 4 was a big jump the last few jumps on the death theorem were really tough!

I really like your decorations. Good job!

Level design overall was interesting. I enjoyed playing through your short levels! Some of the jumps on Matter of Factory were fun, and the first part of The Death Theorem was good. I had to cheat a bit to practice the last part of The death theorem, since the diagonal blades were a bit tricky to get through.

Bandages were good overall. They added a little bit extra challenge, but not to the point of me wanting to kill myself. I'd make them a little bit harder though.

To spice up your level design a bit, I suggest using obstacle waypoint mode. Check out Team Meat's blog post containing the tutorials. It's taught there.

Fix the camera once you know how. It's not too hard, but it makes a huge difference.

Good first levels man!

Added a new level! This one takes place in between levels 3 and, what used to be level 4.
For those who have been supporting me all along (thanks!) and want to play the new content, it's Skyship-4.

It's quite "unfinished" in detail. I'm working on it. Until then, enjoy!

Updated. Fans now move better, it's a bit harder as well. (Not too much!)
Enjoy the bandage!

Level 5 is up! In addition, there's A+ times to challenge! Good luck, and thanks for the comments!

Well, that was certainly an experience.

It's VERY hard if it's meant to be played in one life (without checkpoints). The amount of obstacles is staggering.

I would suggest either:
1) Long, less difficult levels
2) Shorter levels with more difficult obsticles.

Dying 40-50 seconds into a level is infuriating. (Which is why 7-20 is such a frustrating level)

the camera is quite easy to fix, I suggest you do that. (C is camera mode, shift click to drag a boundary box.)

Your decorations look great though!

Nice going with the moving flatforms and fans, I still need to find out how to get them to move 

Regarding moving platforms and fans: You need to select them and press G to enter Obsticle waypoint mode. You can put a waypoint down, and shift-click it to select it's propertes. You use the scroll wheel to change the time it takes to move to that waypoint.

3's a bit mundane, 1 2 and 4 have interesting ideas.

Thanks for the critique! I'll think up a way to spice up 3. I agree, standard weaving saws can get a bit boring.

I use a keyboard mapped to a and d. it's not too bad on my fingers.

Oh, and how do you make button-triggered blocks that come back at a different speed to them appearing, ala 7-19X XOXO?

I looked into it. There's a default value for blocks coming back, and you can't change it.

If you were going for a snake effect, this is still kind of possible. If the closing blocks catch up to the opening blocks, (If your blocks take longer to open than your delay) it creates a 1 block wide gap.


Regarding the spinning saw timing: The little saw takes  about 1.555555 seconds and the large takes 5 seconds To get your ideal speed, divide the default speed by the speed you would like.

Here's a quick one I threw together.
First, some quick definitions. If you haven't programmed before, and INT (or integer) is a whole number. a Float (Floating point variable) is a decimal number

Launcher:
Start time: Delays the blade launch (bugs out the animation and sound)
Time mod: Animation speed of firing (Caps how fast a blade can fire out) Multiplies factor.
Float 1: Delay between each shot. Capped by the Time Mod. Seconds

Swinging Saw
Time mod: Speed and Direction of Saw. Multiplies factor. (Default is 1.55555 seconds for small, and 5 seconds for large)

Fan
Time mod: Animation speed. Multiplies the value.
float 1: Intensity of the fan (negative = suction)
float 2: Area of the fan. (Must be > than 0) (Pixles)


Key:
Float 1: Speed of opening blocks (Seconds)
Int 1: X coordinate of the block to open
Int 2: y Coordinate of the block to open

Laser:
Start Time: Where the animation starts. (Set to anything but 0 to get rid of the charge up sound)
Float 1: Hold Time. (Sec) How long it fires.
Float 2: Reset time. (sec)

Rocket Launcher:
Time mod: Animation speed (caps max fire rate. Higher = faster)(Multiplies value)
Float 1: Delay between shot (Seconds)

Lava Ball Emitter
Time Mod: Speed of ball coming out(Multiplies default)
Float 1: Delay in between each ball (Seconds)

Black Maw Emmiter:
Time mod: Animation Speed (Caps fire rate) (Multiplies default)
Float 1: Delay between fire (Seconds)

Orb: (Interestingly enough, orbs have 2 fields!)
Time Mod: Animation Speed (multiplies default)
Float 1: Intensity of field 1 (+ = vortex)
Float 2: Intensity of field 2 (+ = vortex)
Int 1: Range of field 1
Int 2: Range of field 2

4-way launcher
Time Mod: Animations speed (multiplies default)
Float 1: Delay between shot. (Capped by time mod, seconds)

Button: (Side note, buttons can be quite buggy. it's sometimes better to copy one from an existing level)
Start time: Delay between button presses. (-1 is manual)
Time Mod: Animation Speed (multiplies value.)
Float 1: Speed which blocks open (Seconds)
Float 2: Hold time (Seconds)
Int 1: x coordinate of the block to open
Int 2: y coordinate of the block to open

Let me know if I missed anything!

Hello guys! First time posting on this fourm.
I've been inspired by the many cool maps I've seen to make my own.

My level pack takes place on an airship. The theme is each level is the next "area" of the ship. Here's the level overview, up to level 13

Click for Large Image!

Features
--- Moving Fans!
--- A Boss!
--- Short Levels!
--- Intermediate to Advanced Challenges!
--- Bandages!

This map pack will be 20 levels long. Currently, I have 13 done.
This is a fairly easy map pack at the start, but if you are looking for some quick levels, give it a shot.

If you want to give it a shot, grab it at This Google Docs Page
