[Powerup] Cape Feather

[SuperAlex]

Is it normal that if I hit a ? block containing a SMB3 Fire flower, I get an error? If I click OK, the cape keeps working and I can collect the fire flower. This is really annoying..

I also get that same error and the deformation of the cape, mario.
Someday Enjl may update "anotherpowerup (2) .lua"

So I got the Powerup and downloaded it but the problem is I can't find in it in the Tileset Box

Is there a way to fix this. I did check Custom Tab but nothing is there for the Cape Powerup

[FutureNyanCat]

Assuming you put the Cape Feather assets in your level folder, it turns out there's another problem - the Cape Feather doesn't have an assigned PGE tileset for it. There's a way to make one in the PGE editor, by going to the Custom Tab for tilesets and clicking "New Tileset", selecting NPC as the type of tileset, ticking Show Custom only, and grabbing the Cape Feather from there and putting it in your tileset, then pressing Save. Should this be successfully done, the Cape Feather should be in the tilesets tab now.

I found some pretty crazy bugs here, Toad cannot easily get off the ground sometimes until you duck:

So I've discovered a few issues with this pertaining to graphical visibility:

Spoiler: show

When Mario or Luigi while ducking they’re a block higher than they should be, this also happens when uprooting vegetables with the bros Peach and Toad are fine except when you pause for the test menu they’re 1 or 2 blocks away diagonally from where they should be. (Sorry, for some reason I didn’t realize I didn’t say anything for this til now.)

When I added the Cape Feather my Reserve Box treated every power up like infinite item generator.

Looks like you either don't have the sound files or you have them in the wrong place.

I'll definitely need this to implement Cape Feather power-up.

Do note that and anotherpowerup is ridiculously buggy, specifically with the item box and Link. It will also revert to the ice flower when a level is complete.

I know, this is not related to YOUR project, but instead to the base (anotherpowerup) of your ones, but ... well: As long as this has not been solved, the item can not be really used to it`s full potential, which is a shame.

I experienced this mentioned issue with the superball flower npc, which of course has the same script base and version as your one, I suppose.
The versions in the super mario land pack and the script base example files of anotherpowerup were mostly identical.

Hopefully this CAN be solved in the first place, I mean I do not know if it worked in the past with an previous build of SMBX or if the current one has bugs which makes it impossible to implement fully working new powerups?! I really do not know at all. I can only guess, several people might be required to solve this issue as a whole.

Does it work like it does in the original SMW? — does it control the same?

I think you can answer this question yourself, if you make a simple testmap
(I barely played SMW and I am sh*t with that powerup)

Just download "Cape Feather", and this: viewtopic.php?t=25474&sid=dcf3a19355df4 ... 2ddb1d3b48
If you have problems to make it work then (feather does not work), copy that in your luna lua file:

Code: Select all

local ap = require("anotherpowerup")
ap.registerItemTier(851, true)
ap.registerPowerup("ap_cape")

Thanks for the reminder, but I already switched to this framework. I mean I posted in that thread
So I have definitely taken note of it. At the time of this post here I think Marioman2007 did not publish his project yet.

I would like to know for possible future projects: Were you also able to fix the "custom powerup returns as ice flower in reserve box in next level" bug?
I do not know, if the question

Does the reserve box work?

did cover this as well.

And did I get that right, it is kind of a superior version of Emrals one?

However: Great stuff as usual. Still feel like most people around here enjoy coding and creating npcs more than level design. That is almost a luxury problem.

BTW: Can somebody tell me how to use this item in the first place? Before you guys are wondering, I can not use it in SMW either. And youtube Tutorials are designed for SMW in mind of course. I am using it for a level but so far it is only an easter egg since I can not really design a level around it.

Well, here's my issue with it:

I'm using CodeX's SMB3-SMW Mario graphics for this, but when I grab a Fire or Ice Flower, this happens. Strangely, Raccoon/Tanooki/Hammer Mario are unaffected by this...

And yes, I do have the appropriate SMB3-SMW Fire/Ice Mario sprites in my level's folder along with the rest of them.

I have trouble finding the words to explain this.

Yeah, that’s a problem with both anotherpowerup and custompowerup. Not much can be done about that, unfortunately, but Marioman2007, the creator of custompowerup, is working on a fix for it.
