How does one open SMBX 2.0 beta 3, along with the PGE?

[barkers]

I hate to look dumb and all, but I really don't know guys, please help.

[Amine Retro]

what do you mean?
you click it and it dosen't open?
the same happens to me.

After you've extracted it using 7-zip, go into the folder and run SMBX2.exe

Thanks, but what folder do I look in?

[bossedit8]

Look at the destination as of where it has been downloaded (usually in the Downloads folder), extract it with 7zip file manager and then once that is done you can put SMBX2-Beta3 anywhere you want to store it into your PC and then on my image go to SMBX2. And there you go.

I only found SMBXLauncher, is it 2.0? when I try to open it, I get a error saying Qt5WebKitWidgets.dll is missing. any ideas?

[Amine Retro]

Your antivirus probably deleted it. You can reinstall it

I re downloaded it, but have no new characters, or content. It says it's 2.0 but it really only is 1.3.0.1

[barkers]

It's working now, got the wrong beta. Now how do I get PGE and what is the tanooki button?

[PixelPest]

Tanooki is the alternate run button (for me it's S, but I don't know if that's the default or not). PGE is the default editor so when you launch SMBX2.exe, that's what'll load after clicking "Launch Editor"

[barkers]

Alright new question: how do you use powerups in PGE?

[PixelPest]

You mean in the editor or while testing?

[barkers]

Both.

(Don't mind the random custom graphics in there...)

Now how do I open/download episodes, they look pretty good.

[PixelPest]

Download and extract to the worlds folder. Make sure there is only one folder before the levels (Folder --> Levels inside and whatever else) or else it won't work. If you have like Folder 1 --> Folder 2 --> Levels inside the folder-in-a-folder, which will sometimes happen, copy the folder out into the worlds folder and delete the other one.

For 1.3.0.1/2:
Run smbx.exe --> Launch Engine/Play Game/Start Game (forget what it's called now) --> Let SMBX load and then select the first option --> Scroll down until you find the episode you want to play and select it

For 2.0:
Run SMBX2.exe --> Select the episode you want to play from the drop-down menu on the left --> Select Play Episode

[bossedit8]

After you download an Episode or Level from this place, extract/unpack it with 7zip file manager or winrar (or without if it's only a zip file to begin with) and after unpacking it, either put your level to the spot anywhere you want where it's easier to find or just let it be and search it inside SMBX or PGE to get it and play it via testing. With Episodes, after unpacking it put it into your worlds folder but be aware, make sure there are no other folders inside that SMBX Episode like having more folder than it should be... so make sure once you put it into your worlds folder, once you open that SMBX Episode folder it immediadly leads you to all of those levels and world data (and graphics and music files) so it will be reconized inside the game itself.

E: Eh...

Did you do something with the graphics and some how corrupted them? Was your download somehow infected? Vinesauce ROM Corruptor? Because i've never seen this happen with my smbx.
