[color=red]1. That is spamming
2. It is a waste of time
3. Remember to use red when going off topic
The guy is trying to be helpful, it's not spamming or a waste of time. Also, the red is not a rule. The topic itself has kinda been done already and honestly people could just post their stuff on SFA. Won't lock it yet but if there's any more of this stuff then I probably will.
He edited his message. He originally had around 7 million spoilers with nothing written and that is why I posted my message
Sorry I didn't see the original message, thanks for clarifying 👍

He's clearly new and isn't intending anything wrong, I think we can let this slide. Just make sure to read the rules.
2I just realized something...
On 2025-04-19 at 00:34:28
A lot of your messages have been spammy and you've kinda disregarded the rules to get to this point, so it's really not something to celebrate. More specifically, making a lot of unnecessary topics and treating the forums like DMs, even after several mods told you not to (including on the staging site which is stupid). Even if it was done without obvious farming it's not really a special achievement anyway, and people actually want this leaderboard gone because it encourages spam.
There's a reason many of your messages have already been deleted and your topics locked in the past, and it's not getting any better. This is also getting locked too.

Admittedly I'm only up to Lv 160 for a few reasons:
- Battles took too long lol
- My gems and classes are low
- The blue and white pixels you mention
- That high pitched bird in the background that plays every 5 or so seconds
- The main reason, and this is kinda spoilers:
The party I used to defeat the Lv 150 was:
Noah - Swordfighter
Mio - Lifesage (I needed heals)
Eunie - Lone Exile (I usually run FMJ but everyone else was dying fast without this, would like to change this)
Taion - Signifer (passing around buffs incl cross impact (power charge) in his fusions arts, kinda just copied Enel)
Lanz - Heavy Guard (which is weak iirc, doesn't seem to take aggro well but I don't have any other high classes for him)
Sena - Ogre (break)
Hero - Lifesage (her heals are good and she can revive everyone in a chain attack)
I would say Signifer is pretty important to have and is one of the best classes for a reason. I also wanna try Soulhacker but haven't started the grind. You may also wanna watch the video below because it's kinda nuts, and it shows the entire build. I haven't implemented any of this in my party yet.
Lv200 Hard Seraphic Ceratinia in 10s
I'm clearly not as good as you for XC3 so my advice may not be the best but hopefully there's something.

Asking for advice from CM track makers: What should I do?
On 2025-03-25 at 07:44:32
Uh, my road's around half the image, which is about 550px. is that good or not?
Can you send the image here on the topic?
On 2025-03-24 at 07:32:06
Will give my input because I've got experience and feel that some of the above information isn't necessarily correct or optimal.
Obviously, you would want to plan your circuit first so that you can avoid any problems that may arise in the future such as weird scaling or bad layouts. Usually you would want to pick a theme and then brainstorm some ideas that fit that theme so that the track has a bit of variety. You can probably look at other circuits and get inspiration from those.
Most of the top creators tend to use paint.net as their drawing software because it's the best one out there. I use Google Drawings but I wouldn't really recommend it unless you have no other alternative. Pixilart is NOT actually good for making tracks (mostly), but rather a simple software that might help you get used to the MKPC editor when you program collisions and stuff. If you're really not comfortable with any other software then you may want to start here. Btw, DO NOT screenshot any image because the quality will become crap, so you should ignore that suggestion earlier in the topic.
Your track width should be in the 50-70px range, or you can keep it simple and use 60px which is what I always recommend to people. There are some exceptions to this, but I won't get too advanced for now so maybe just stick to this. Keep in mind that tracks that are either too thin or too wide are pretty much unplayable, if I had to put a range on this then anything smaller than 40px or anything wider than 110px is "bad" (again there are exceptions). You may not get the width correct the first time so make sure you playtest the track first before you start programming it.
For your first CM track, I recommend doing something easier first so that you get used to the editor. I would avoid making a track with lots of holes such as Rainbow Road tracks because those can be quite tedious and aren't the easiest to make well. Something with simple walls and off-road may be a good starting point.
If you have any other questions just ask.

7What are QM checkpoints like?
On 2025-03-15 at 00:23:00
I want to know what checkpoints do QM tracks have. Why in the beginning of a QM track, if you do a unintended shortcut, the lap doesn't count but when your in half-way from the track and do a unintended shortcut, the lap counts. Is there a image that shows QM checkpoints? So I can know what shortcuts work to make some
I may not be 100% correct, I'm only speaking from experience and don't know the actual code behind it. For QM, key checkpoints are based on the number of turns in the circuit and where the crossroad pieces are. The first turn in a circuit and I believe the first turn after a cross are considered key checkpoints, along with some other turns at certain intervals (usually every 3 or 4 turns depending on the length of the path).
For square tracks (4 turns), only the 1st turn is considered a key checkpoint, hence why tiny oval tracks with the starting grid and first turn next to each other can be completed quickly. For tracks with 6 turns, I can't remember exactly which turns are key checkpoints but I think it's the 1st and 3rd turns. 12 turns might be 1st, 5th and 9th??? All of these examples assume no cross pieces. (I also found these out like 3 years ago and haven't experimented since but you get the idea).
So sometimes if you have a jump in the middle of the course and it skips 2-3 turns, chances are it skips the key checkpoints and a lap is still counted, whereas the opposite won't count the lap, even if the length of the skip is the same. It just depends on which turns you make the shortcuts on.
How do you make CM tracks?
On 2025-03-11 at 10:11:57
Another alternative (and this isn't a great one) is Google Drawings, which is what I use to make my tracks. It's a really simple software with some awful layering but it's definitely got some potential, although not many use this for a reason.

ik the topic has been a bit more normal today but I'm gonna lock it anyway. Almost half of the messages are from the same guy which includes multiposts, unnecessary posts, caps spam, jibberish and topic revives, and it really encapsulates why the forum hasn't been great.
I almost feel like (and this is just generally speaking, this goes for several cases) some people have cared too much about their forum message counter lately and trying to get it as high as possible while 'trying' to stay within the rules.

2Help! my level got deleted for no reason!
On 2025-03-03 at 08:41:01
Every now and then I check the creations list for tracks that may break the rules, and I do recall deleting a Music Park not too long ago since the image was originally created by Starl, another member of the site. I would guess this would be yours, although I'm not sure if you had the intent to steal the track or just found it on the internet.
About forum reporting lately...
On 2025-02-03 at 22:14:37
Recently we've been spammed with forum reports that are honestly just plain stupid and not even report-worthy. It's been happening for a while but I've decided to speak about it now because this morning I woke up to a whole page of reports made by the same guy and it's just full of messages from the same user. I won't expose who it was but it doesn't really matter because it's being done by several people and it's gotta stop.
The purpose of the report feature is to make it easier for the mod team to find and possibly sanction people who break the rules. However people are reporting others simply because something is said that they don't like (eg "this guy steals tracks" or "this guy is annoying". Reporting messages like is honestly childish and immature. Also, light swears are allowed so please don't report message that contain the word "shit" or whatever (obviously excessive use and slurs need to be reported but most cases I've seen are mild).
Another problem is the mass reporting. We already get the idea after one message, we don't need another 20 to clear if we're only gonna do one action.
I think the problem is that people on the forum only care for themselves and wanna censor anything they don't like, well in life people are always gonna say stuff like that and there's nothing you can do about it. Rather than crashing out/losing your shit over minor things, try building some resilience or just correct your behaviour.
I'm going to consider sanctions for people who falsely report from now on. I don't wanna wake up to a 7 yo getting salty over an internet message anymore.
A feature that could possibly help is if a message already got reported, it can't be reported by any members again.The purpose of the report feature is to make it easier for the mod team to find and possibly sanction people who break the rules.

If anyone tries to report it, a pop-up would say "This post has already been reported."
This could prevent mass reporting from every forum kids that see the same offensive message.
This isn't really a problem since multiple people reporting the same message is still considered 1 report, it'll just show a list of people who reported it instead. I actually find this quite helpful because if I see multiple people report it, more likely than not it's actually something against the rules. Also if I see multiple names and one of them is credible it makes the job a bit easier since I don't always need to look for context, whereas if we stop multiple people reporting there's a chance that someone who cries wolf gets the first report and we just accidentally leave it.
Unrelated but another thing I should mention is that people shouldn't report things from like a year ago too, I saw that this morning.
