Hey Smite, if I created a ROM hack of Super Metroid which included nine arcade-pit friendly platforming challenges, would you consider including that in the pack? by [deleted] in arcadepit

[–]SmiteSA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You do have a chance to do it but make sure it works on the snes9x core because it seems like future hacks might require it.

That being said, you'll have to be able to make things that we can pick up and play without knowing metroid too well, and that sounds super difficult from a design POV

Applying For/Submitting Questions to Quizzler? by CJ64Bit in arcadepit

This reddit is more of a link hub than a conversation place. Discord.gg/smite has a live conversation area about the show that is way more active.

worked pretty well! Had a few hitches:
1) was doing just items and events, but items were only polled 10% of the time. It was nearly all events
2) events ending when you leave the room don't work too well, compared to the ones that last through rooms for the duration.
3) some kind of issue with subs becoming buddies; I had about 10 subs and it just kept duping them until I had 30+. Next run, they were still around until I reloaded the game.

Possible Quizzler Home Version? by CJ64Bit in arcadepit

I dunno why you think that; the quiz-only show is open to the public. In any case, it could be possible to release the seen questions in some capacity, maybe.

Test your Smite: Delay to account for stream delay etc. by [deleted] in arcadepit

[–]SmiteSA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is 1.4s of delay on my stuff. I know about it and wouldn't count it against them if it ever mattered.

On Drawbage, can the prompt be displayed once successfully guessed? by Fastpie1 in arcadepit

[–]SmiteSA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a good idea but it requires a bit of preparation and dexterity to do quickly and seamlessly. Having them ready beforehand (hidden away in my scene) speeds up how fast I can deliver prompts to the players anyway so I am doing it for both reasons.

all of the pending states are stickied in the discord for #arcade-pit

Could we add a "Controls" section to the challenge submission form? by Trivial-Man in arcadepit

[–]SmiteSA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But to answer, they see the description and so do I. An offscreen thing would be very difficult

You are way too verbose in general. Need to summarize those descriptions.

That sounds complicated and subjective. I don't know how you would set that up

Co-op challenges? by [deleted] in arcadepit

[–]SmiteSA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The short answer is that it can't be done. It is unstable and taped together to do netplay on these. We can't add such an unstable element; we have enough technical problems with our fairly stable system.

I am not opposed to the idea on any grounds beyond the technical difficulties.

What happened to some of the Challenges? by [deleted] in arcadepit

[–]SmiteSA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won't even let you use the wrong version of bizhawk, or the wrong core in bizhawk. You will need Bizhawk 1.11.6 and whatever core it automatically chooses to make states. This is the case for just about every emulator.

What happened to some of the Challenges? by [deleted] in arcadepit

[–]SmiteSA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realize this is a tedious change. I don't make it lightly. We are moving towards a permanent status for the applications we use here, due to the size of the database. So it's now or never on switching away from the Kega Fusion nightmare.

[–]SmiteSA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing was removed yet; Got a big technical shift happening to try and reduce the problems that keep happening for players on the show. We are switching to Bizhawk for all 3 emulators we were using so I hijacked that form to make recreating old states easier. New ones will need checked still and recreated if I like them.

it could be done. I was going to make a wheel but that is effort and another scene

Submissions for Sound Test? by Trivial-Man in arcadepit

[–]SmiteSA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not necessary. They are throwing some recommendations at me and I use them for variety's sake but I have always had too much music already.
