Re: MrCave's Level HubJust letting you know: There's a realistic chance that this level will break in future versions, cause maaaan fuck that glitch in accidental situations, haha.

Re: MrCave's Level HubIn the previous levels that I posted, you would not believe how many times those player blocks screwed me over. It got to the point where I was like, ok what the hell is going on, so after doing some experimenting I figured it would be interesting to make a level out of it. But yeah, I made this level knowing full well that it would only work on this version. Also, what did you think of the level itself?

Re: MrCave's Level HubHaven't gotten around to playing it yet. I'll let you know my thoughts once I played it.
E: Awesome level throughout. Every section is really creative and the checkpoints keep the level from being frustrating from its high difficulty. The thwomp section is probably my favourite, and the autoscroller is the section that took me the longest (once I was through it, I had that thing where my eyes automatically wandered at the speed of the autoscroll to try and keep up). Super cool stuff! |

Re: MrCave's Level HubI mean, I have made two Kaizo levels using this glitch in the past. One of them got 3rd place or so in PixelPest's Kaizo contest and the other one was my judge level of KCXII. I do not see why you would want to remove it when compatibility is the key focal point. Edit: I also forgot, but I also used it in my KCXIII level which you judged. (Remember the final section of the level based on No Disguise from that Double Vision but in my level, it usedSaws and player blocks? |

Re: MrCave's Level HubI absolutely agree with Eclipsed's statement, it doesn't break the game or anything so I don't see why it has to get removed. this is literally equal to removing the crouch clip.

Re: MrCave's Level HubZips are equally annoying tbh and a new enabled-by-default anti-cheese is being looked into. The problem with player blocks is that there is no suitable override behaviour. Something like an "active only for one player type" block only exists in Redigit's code for the player blocks, which the 13 new player blocks also hook into. As far as I'm aware, adding outright new block types is an impossibility without the source code, so the target is instead ot isolate the bug in Redigit's code and fix that. In short: Deprecating and adding 18 new "fixed" player blocks is not an option in this scenario to my knowledge. That section was downright awful because of your use of this bug. Making an artificial dedicated downwards zip block is literally a handful lines of code that force the player y position downwards. The use cases is so niche that I wouldn't reserve a slot for it in basegame, but making a block pack emulating the behaviour would be trivial. Because glitchy messes that rely on broken blocks are less important than fixing the intended use case of the broken blocks. I'm not aware of any level prior to SMBX2 that seriously considered using this bug, and even if there is one, you'd have to search far and wide to find a second one. Compatibility between SMBX2 betas was never guaranteed. So for the literally handful of levels from 1.3 that need to get ported, the block pack solution would be trivial to do. Instead of drawing comparisons to "patching zips", it would be more appropriate to drawing parallels to "having to drag a few sizeables down by 1 tile because we improved the graphics" or "having to fix some custom graphics for the smb3 cave tileset". E: To solve the compatibility argument, I can think of having the patch only enabled by default for lvlx files. I don't know if that's possible either, though. |

Re: MrCave's Level HubSo the player block glitch is indeed mostly a nuisance and I haven't really seen many uses of it in speedrunning, therefore I agree that making a custom block which recreates this behaviour is a good enough solution for those who want to use it in level design. Patching out zips on the other hand seems like it would cut out quite a fair deal of tech that gets used fairly commonly in speedrunning and occasionally in kaizo (as much as there even is SMBX kaizo). Tying the patch to .lvlx also doesn't sound particularly convincing since it'd limit levels focused around zips in the use of certain new features, such as extra properties for new NPCs which don't save in .lvl files (unless that's subject to change in the future, in which case it's not an issue). All in all, I don't believe zips are really that awful and game breaking that they'd need patching, quite the contrary, as they open new possibilities in routing and general gameplay. I also never found them annoying, as for the most part you need to make an effort yourself to actually perform one, especially if we talk in terms of some more recently discovered ones, such as the statue clip for instance. Designers are also always able to prevent them from being executable, assuming that they know about their existence in the first place.

Re: MrCave's Level HubOkay, after beating the level, I am surprised on how the level plays out in terms of difficulty. I actually like this quite a bit.

Re: MrCave's Level HubThis level was really creative with its gimmick, even though it was a glitch. I especially liked the part with the thwomp as is felt like you were really challenging the player.

Re: MrCave's Level HubHEY MrCaves I don't know why but I recorded your level for my good channel here is the playthrough of your level. I died sometimes if I don't know if they like to watch long videos but I don't know whether to make them long or not Your level is one that I loved very much because it has the moles of Mario 3d and its really cool I would say that they work in version 2.0 and 1.4.5 I also used your graphics in some of my levels ........
