I'd really like to enter, but I've got alot of real life stuff to do, so I wouldn't have enough time to make an entry that's even halfway decent.  :X
And with all the grandmasters finally participating once again, I wouldn't have stood a chance, anyways...
Old Danmakufu stuff can be found here!

That, and

...I'm sure the boss to be made has to have *something* to do with the story.

Thing is, I don't have a story to put anyone in. [needs rewording]

Story and/or dialogue is optional, only spell card comment/explanation is forced. The plot being explained in the rules is just your description of the script like: "Reimu battles Rinnosuke because he wouldn't sell her goods anymore"

Hmmm... so by what you're saying, I take it Reimu/Marisa/SANAE can just battle Rinnosuke because Rinnosuke has finally created himself some spell cards.

(That's my plot wwwwww)

I can't tell you how badly I want to play the scripts for this contest...! I'm not sure if I'll be able to contain myself for the next three weeks.

Also, spriting sucks. Just sayin'.

Ladies and gentlemen, the sign ups are officially closed. A small downside as two people have unsubscribed from the event: CaSercan & Gamecubic, they have their reasons for it and at the end it is their choice.

To all the other 27 contestants (14 for lunatic and 13 for normal), I wish you all good luck and fun scripting the boss. There is roughly ~2.5 week available until the deadline.

Everything is arranged and set. Only after the deadline we will be downloading and judging scripts. So until then, you can edit your script as many times as you want because the final result is what counts for us.

Some final advice for both normals and lunatics:
I strongly encourage your script to be released inside a folder with your nickname. Example:


If you don't, I will try to create a folder myself with your nickname and try to put your script in dnh\scripts\<yournick> and if I get errors, the script will receive a 0. So you might want to pay attention to the pathing. See our lovely (that nobody almost reads) tutorial thread.

A second final thing I want to report is the shotsheet. The three judges will have by default CtC shotsheet in their directory, because this is the only custom bullet sheet that uses the annoying 'lib' folder inside the root of dnh. If you use other sheets, provide them in the download!

That is all from me, don't know if Blargel has something to add to this or disagree with some parts :V

I'm currently experimenting with a custom function library. Is it allowed to add it to the download folder and request the judges to place it into the lib folder or is this just too inconvenient?

Just put everything in one folder, then put the whole folder into a Zip file. Then the judges will extract the folder with everything for your contest in it, then they will be able to play the script. (Dunno if I worded my explanation properly.) See my Spiritomb script for example.

Just to elucidate, this doesn't mean you should post something like this:

Quote from: fakeposterlololol
here's my awesome script
get the shot data here derpaderp

It means you should put a copy of the shot data in your script folder, and make your scripts load the shot data straight from that location. Just use GetCurrentScriptDirectory~"shot.txt" instead of "lib/blah/shot.txt". A way you can test if you did it correctly is to temporarily move your original shot data and see if the script works regardless.

I'm currently experimenting with a custom function library. Is it allowed to add it to the download folder and request the judges to place it into the lib folder or is this just too inconvenient?

Same as with the shot data, you should put it in your script file and make all the path names relative. Seriously, just ctrl+h it or something.

It is not too inconvenient if you make it easy to install. You say you are using a custom library, then make sure the library is included inside the same zip file and add a INSTALL.txt saying: "place this folder here". We are not out to burn scripts. We can be reasonable if it is organised.

The rule: "- Your script should be "extract-and-play" style. We are NOT going to bother fixing your scripts. So test them proper for errors and playability."  just goes for errors and chaotic installation methods after we extracted things. 99% of the time these are pathing errors.

GOLDEN TIP for everybody:
Want to know 100% sure if your script functions correctly?
-> Install a fresh danmakufu folder somewhere on your pc and install your script as you uploaded it. Because a fresh danmakufu folder is the perfect simulation for testing errors. I would definitely advice to do it.

I advise to let a friend or someone else test it as well. Because sometimes the packing goes wrong. I've had that problem a few times; I couldn't open a .RAR file of someone else because it was "damaged".

This.

Sometimes my brother and I send each other our finished projects, to test. We got the right idea, I guess.

Wow, the first three submissions are all Koakuma. I hope this isn't an indication that almost all entries will be Koakuma.  :/

I know at least four people who aren't doing Koakuma (and they're still all doing different characters), if that's comforting :V
