Yeah, I tend to save/backup a ton of things constantly because of all those horror stories I heard from my school years about other students losing things left and right.

As far as my hacks go, pretty much any time I do something major, or even something as insignificant as deciding to stop working on it for the day, I make a backup. Can never have too many backups since that way it's easy to find the exact moment when something went wrong and not have to redo a ton of work.

Unless I do a huge amount of work on any one day, I usually just copy the ROM each day, and name it as that day's date, so that they're always in order.  My folder looks like this:

10-09-20.smc
10-09-21.smc
10-09-22.smc
10-09-22 (2).smc
10-09-23.smc
10-09-24.smc

Quote from Quietus:
Yes, backup your ROM, as in copy it to somewhere else, so that you aren't just using one copy.  You haven't been doing this, have you? Shocked  That's how hacks get lost.

As well as what Prime Hunter suggested, I'd also recommend e-mailing it to yourself every now and again, or using something like Dropbox, for online storage.

Yeah, I haven't even been knowing how to Backup the ROM. I had to get T.J. to test it for me, He's trying his best to find out whats wrong with the crashing room.
Quote from Prime Hunter:
Easiest way to back up your hack is just like how you'd back up anything on a computer. Either copy the files to another part of your computer, or onto a cd or flash drive. I tend to just copy everything to another folder and if something goes wrong with my main version I just copy the files from that backup into the folder where my main version is.

Ok, I didn't know if it was Copying or if it was an option in the Program SMILE, I love Jathys for creating SMILE.
Thanks for the help guys.

Ok, I'll do that. I'm going to try finishing Apalite by the end of October, I plan to also begin on Cintrate by middle of November. If I keep working non-stop(fat chance) then this will be done by the end of April or May.

There used to be a backup feature within SMILE, but I believe it's since been removed due to bugginess / instability.

I fixed that room for myself to further test this hack. The charge beam and Hi-jump have the same low index so you can only grab one of them, not sure if that is intentional. Also, I was able to enter Crocmire's room from the back side, this causes crashing and errors - this needs to be fixed. =/

I don't believe that this is even possible as Crocomire destroys that wall AFTER you kill him. =/

Well, As soon as you enter Croc. room you go under the wall and then watch him die. then you can go back without Errors.

Towards the middle where you use three layers of tiles overlapping:
1. Where the pipe connect, it looks odd, there are tiles made to negate this.
2. Where the corner piece overlaps in front of the slope piece, it looks incredibly odd.

Also, if this is still pre-morphball, there are a few permastucks.

No, The one that slopes under the cliff is a
Secret Tunnel

I will make a tile just for this later, I'm currently making a room to connect wtih this and an Item room.

#1 Looks kinda plain, you should add some variation to the floor and ceilings.
#2 I really like the horizontal metal platforms.
#3 The purple and white don't mesh well together, the room it's self looks really plain and (just a suggestion but) you should remove BTS before you take screenshots.

Room one is a perfect example of a room that could be enhanced no end with the fake layering thing I was on about before.  And I agree about turning your BTS off.

Yeah, I kinda...forgot...Oh well, I'm going for the underground area of Apalite now. These are what Huvex and Apalite have:

Apalite Earthly side
Apalite Icy side
Huvex Earthly side
Huvex Molten side

but what Apalite doesn't have is:

Huvex Underground center

Apalite has Frozen bottom and Earthly top.
Huvex has Molten bottom, Underground center(cooled molten rocks) and the Earthly top.

Sorry if that's confusing.....Neutral
