When the time comes; I will be excited to see what new npcs to use!

[Murphmario]

IDK about this, but we might also have Reflecting Podoboos and Chain Chomps, since both were mentioned on this thread (even if the original posts were deleted when the forum went down.)

I could hope there will be a yoshi's island Arrow Lift and even the wizard from smw, because they are experimental.

Isn't an Arrow Lift in YI the same thing as a Springboard? And if you mean a Magikoopa when you said "wizard", someone already made that in LunaLua

[snoruntpyro]

I think by arrow lift he means that weird thing that spins around and travels in the direction it's facing when you land on it.

My dad, John Nintendo, President of Nintendo said that the final release will have YI arrow lifts AND new enemies from Splatoon. Reggie even said on his YouTube that the release is going to make you "splat" your brains all over the wall.

But I thought that 2.0 was using PGE, in which you can add any slots easily by making a configuration pack? You could add everything that has been done in 2.0 into SMBXpanded and use that configuration for PGE. That way you will never run out of slots.

[4matsy]

Thing is, SMBX's engine can't read PGE's config packs, which means we'd be stuck relying on PGE's engine - which isn't done yet.

And now the problem with that idea reveals itself - we'd have to finish scripting all the enemies that aren't done in PGE, as well as the new ones planned for 2.0. D: Much more work than what is currently happening.

I must ask, is anyone working on making Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and/or Dixie Kong characters for SMBX 2? XP

By the way, smbx 2.0's editor should be improved to be a remake of smbx 1.3's like smbx 1.4.2 did, maybe as a substitute of pge editor.

That's pointless.

if you grab a dummy npc in smbx 1.3 while the player tests the level, it may give you a error, that is the reason why we have to improve smbx 2.0's editor.

Any suggestions about how to improve it?

maybe if we add the dummy (and the new upcoming) npcs into the npc list of the smbx 2.0 editor, this could solve the problem and another solution is that we can make it count as hidden npcs from the lakitus are throwing lakitus npc list easter egg.

And the reason why I have requested to improve the editor because I just don't want to load the level in pge and edit it and then open this level in smbx and test it or edit it and then close the level in smbx and then do the same thing again.

Well you won't have to... by what I heard testing works now, you don't even have to open SMBX.

It sounds more like a easier way to open smbx and then open the level and test it, this doesn't count.

you sure are hard to please considering how this is literally one of the least important features

In PGE 0.3.1.10 you can use the SMBXInt config pack. http://wohlsoft.ru/config_packs/
It lets you configure your SMBX EXE file and will allow you to play levels using that EXE by hitting F5 in PGE or pressing the test button.

That's literally how you do it in PGE too.

None of us are going to work on this as we don't see it being a good use of our time. And it's rather a lot of work. Moreover, as of the next beta, the legacy editor is gone (by default - I still need to write the code to re-enable it if you want to use it still).

I had fun placing npcs while testing the level with the legacy editor
