SMBX Level Contest Japan (LCJ) - Compilation Episode - Release! (v1.5)

[Valentine]

Veggie Pile is easily the most level that I have ever seen in SMBX

ftfy

It's not "most best" because that's not even a term in English

[Mable]

Serious business there

[Emral]

I ran out of stuff to fix so here's a QoL thing:

1.4:
-World map now shows how many exits and stars you've collected when standing on a level tile

[ElectriKong]

BTW, will patches for updates be released (if possible) because I'd rather not have to redownload the whole game every time it updates

I can't really do much about that but it's a quick download that won't break your save file.

I absolutely love the world map. I need to start working on learning lua so I can figure out how to do all these effects. I'm assuming mapSprites.lua handles most of it, but I still can't figure out how all the lua code translates into all of the little details on the map.

Also map boundaries! Finally we can have one-screen maps without always having the camera centered on Mario!

Oh and the levels look pretty rad too I guess.

[Emral]

Small fix for Cirno, I choose you's particles.

Patch only download.

Part 1 of LP:

[Murphmario]

Could someone please help me? I get this crash error everytime I start this episode up:

Spoiler: show

Any help would be appreciated.

And just to clarify, I'm using Beta 3's initial download.

[Emral]

You screenshotted the least important part. Scroll all the way down andd give me the part that reads THE STACKTRACE: and onwards.

[Murphmario]

I didn't see the side scroll arrow. Derp.

Anyways, here:

I think stuff is missing, but then again, I don't know much when it comes to LunaLua.

Why Japan? They always make Kaizo levels! I like normal levels! I hate Kaizo levels!

[PixelPest]

Why Japan? They always make Kaizo levels! I like normal levels! I hate Kaizo levels!

So stereotypical and untrue. It's called "Level Contest Japan" because the guy who hosted it is Japanese

[HenryRichard]

Why Japan? They always make Kaizo levels! I like normal levels! I hate Kaizo levels!

Yeah all of Nintendo of Japan's levels are all Kaizo! Good thing Nintendo of America always patches them!

Also I don't know if I said this already, but this episode is phenomenal - the world map is beautiful and most of the levels seem to be pretty good.
veggie pile tho

How did you get so many custom tilesests in only one world map?!?!

[MECHDRAGON777]

How did you get so many custom tilesests in only one world map?!?!

using a special lua code and mega-textures.

(lunaoverworld.lua)

Code: Select all

for i=1, 328 do
	if i ~= 14 or i ~= 27 or i ~= 241 then
		local s = Graphics.loadImage("tile-" .. i .. ".png")
		for k,v in pairs(Tile.get(i)) do
			v.width = s.width
			v.height = s.height
		end
	end
end

This is an edit directly from this contest episode's code. (all tiles being multiple tiles at once.)

welcome my friend
the the world of lunalua

I actually built the entire map in the editor first and then sliced it up and added detail/colour in paint.net. The entire city world was drawn there in one piece. Here's a screenshot of the world map as seen in the editor (before i placed scenery tiles):

The dotted path lines you see are removed when the world map is loaded and are placed so that you can always access any level.

The map actually has a perspective error which I missed in editing. Can you spot it? In-game it's covered by scenery tiles.
