Make them yourself with Lua.

Still have no experience with Luna Lua, PGE, or any other related programs, so I'll pass until I have an opportunity to get into it.

I actually remember Kyo mentioning a while back that they're mad hard and annoying to make too. XP

They actually wouldn't be that hard to make. Maybe I'll do them at some point.

Drama Mystery has a good use of DKC barrels.

Could I see a link to that actually?

And yeah I could definitely try to learn how to make barrels once I get used to Luna and all that later down the road. How much variety in the barrels could you make out of the large assortment found in the original trilogy.
If not many that's fine. I'll work with whatever I can get.

As a Garry's Mod player, I can see the potential of Lua in this. It'll be scary XD

The name of the hack is Drama Mistery, and not "Mystery" like I said.

Look one of the best hacks ever made:

I've found an issue with the editor. You always play as peach, you start at small, then a glitchy tanooki, then small again, and you can't pluck stuff.

You have to use the legacy test option.

The New Editor (PGE) does not yet have full testing capabilities. Use "Test in Editor (LunaDLL Required)" instead of "Test in PGE Alpha".

I tried the lunaDLL required thing but it needs a SMBX window open and well IDK where to go from there O.o
Thanks for warning about using the legacy one!

step 1: open smbx level editor
step 2: open pge
step 3: do that test in smbx thing using pge

(you can do steps 1-2 in any order)

Fresh update of PGE (in the repo) now can launch SMBX Test directly without pre-launched SMBX, also, that required you to use "SMBX Integration" config pack (if you uses PGE outside SMBX 2.0, where it already uses "SMBX Integration" pack)

That's going to be a very useful feature.

I think the boss sample in cinematiX is bugged. When he does his pogo attack, the shockwave he makes kills the NPCs that should keep track of it's health, and halting the battle. I fixed it by removing the shockwave from the attack, but I can't do anything in Lua to make the boss do the shockwave and NOT kill the NPCs.

... this is a futile problem though, it was just a sample boss...

This example is outdated. There's another one, but I don't remember where.

This is forreal, not for play? If so, will the other popular powerups (like the cape) that hasn't been added yet make it in? what about the older episodes, will be compatible with this update?

Backwards compatibility with 1.3 and older levels is no issue.

Cape is just an OP leaf.

I think that they will add new power-ups in future updates. The problem now is that we can't have a new power-up without replacing an old one, but I hope that it will be fixed in the future. At least we have the Starman in 2.0, and it doesn't replace any power-up, it only replaces a para-goomba
