SMBX 1.4.5?

[Cedur]

No one has to agree with me at all or like me... I just want to be able to voice an opinion without it being stomped on to death as if I don't have the right to speak my own mind

You're not being stomped to death at first, neither here nor in the previous Mario Royale thread, when Electriking did nothing but enlightening you why SMBX doesn't get taken down and you instantly pilloried him yourself AND flamed him. Not only you can't accept to be wrong about something, you are completely inable to deal with contradiction and you have an extraordinary self-victimization complex. Once you start going apeshit like this, of course you get more backlash.

Being wrong or not being well-informed doesn't make you an idiot. On the other hand your outbursts are idiotic behaviour.

As someone who primarily uses 1.4.4, I can say that its definitely the black sheep of SMBX as a whole. This is mainly due to things such as the physics changes and the use of Teascript instead of Lua, but there are other arguments as to why people wouldn't want to use it.

I mean, just like how you're only here to spread an opinion, other people have differing opinions and preferences. Now forgive me if I'm spreading misinformation but the reason for the hate is because 38A made unnecessary changes in the new update out of spite for the people who use his engine. This includes using a new formula for levels which essentially corrupts levels made in 1.4.4, the removal of hidden features and the further tampering of the physics (trust me, after playing Toad for months, I've really noticed this one).

I don't hate 38A, nor will I stop using 1.4.4, but all the backlash he is getting is warranted to say the least. This isn't about "X2 is better REEEE", its about the creator just being annoying for the sake of being annoying. I've had my 1.4.4 episode up on the forums for months and not once have I ever gotten a negative comment about the version I was using. From what I've read it just seems like you've taken things a bit too seriously; it's alright to defend your opinion, just don't do it in a way that seems more like a childish argument rather than a structured debate.

On that note, sorry for going off topic again.

So apparently it's out now, someone made a level in it,

Spoiler: show

and apparently it's doing something with events that's screwing with other versions

Yes it's no secret that there's no full backward compatibility from 1.4.5 to 1.4.4.

Well, that's a little weird if you ask me. I wonder why It's like that. It doesn't really make sense to me.

dunno who told you that 1.4.5 doesn't have backwards compatibility, but they're very incorrect; 1.4.4 levels can be played without hitch in 1.4.5.

[Wiimeiser]

Does 1.4.5 have a "spawn NPC" event action?

[UnderscoreFyreNova]

Does 1.4.5 have a "spawn NPC" event action?

yes. go into the events tab, should be obvious from there.

It's been established on the 38A server that you're not right with this.

I don't have 1.4.5, I asked because I found out that that feature was what was causing the crash on a specific level one of the SMBX2 dev team complained about because it didn't work on anything he had.

Oh. Makes sense.

I dunno what's up with my copy of 1.4.5, then. There seem to be severe inconsistencies between game mechanics, including that loading thing Void and I were talking about.

Namely this level

That NO NO NOOO level? How? This probably doesn't make sense. I'm wonder WHAT feature exactly

I didn't have 1.4.5 and after someone told me which version was right I lost interest. I used to have it, but it was laughably bad so I downgraded to 1.4.4. I don't know anything about a spawn npcs feature or how it might cause a crash.

As an add on to that, 1.4.5 completely screwed how bullet bills work in the newer version. In this version, every single bullet launcher fires the first pixel it comes on screen, meaning that every bullet bill launcher starts off-screen, making it really unfun. Moreover every single time you pass a bullet launcher it always fires, it took a while to figure out but if you're big and walk off you at non full-speed basically take damage.

That mean I'll just downgrade to 1.4.4

This change to bullet bill cannons is actually really useful for a couple of contraptions, especially when you play around with other mechanics. Plus, with the addition of a bunch of other code options, 1.4.5 is just the most convenient version to use, creation wise. The only thing it doesn't have is the character editor.

Oh that sounds quite horrendous. I already don't use the enemy a lot because there are better options for timed projectile cannons (non-rotating rotating bill blasters set to a low firing cooldown), but dang this sounds like the nail in the coffin for using them in 38A.
