[MrNameless]

Hello! Welcome to the...

A NPC pack purely consisting of NPCs with
fully original(-ish) designs & even game mechanics sometimes!

Take a look at what I & also a few others conceptualized & created,
and pick which you like most!
As each NPC here has their own download links!

Button Switch Platforms: show

With the original concept & spritework made by Emral...

Here's a set of various platforms that activates when you land on them & stop whenever they hit a Line Guide Reverser!
Also including a unique pink one that will stop anytime you jump off of it!

Bigglers: show

Inspired by the Wiggler reskin of the Sniffers from Minecraft's Super Mario Mashup Pack...

Here's a large & harmless variant of the wiggler that only moves around towards any fruits or veggies that are nearby!

However... feed it a poisonous veggie, and it'll become enraged!
Chasing the player closest to them while taking out any brittle block or NPC in it's path!

while also still acting as a stationary item like a Key or a Mushroom Block!

Also included, is a special version of the Runaway ? Blocks that's made to look like a present!

good pack

good pack

[DisasterMaster]

Very nice pack! Especially loving the Starslingers. But I'm getting an error with them:

Thank you for pointing these out! The issues you mentioned be fixed by now!

[OneTonShoe]

This is peak SMBX coding

[Just_Thomas]

I already see some cool stuff there. Some of these might find a use in my project, nice.

Also I see something interesting looking [that is meant positively] testmaps (which is not always the case for npc demonstrations).

I can only ever wonder how you (guys) can still create so much new stuff now with all the NPCs available so far, really impressive.

Edit: There is one thing from which I think it kind of sucks... the credits are scattered all over the place (npc lua, ai lua, sometimes a credits txt).
If I want to use some of you content (which also exists thanks to other people as you stated yourself), I feel like I am responsible to consider them all as well. I actually tried to find them all:

I actually do like how S_Koopa0 has done it:
viewtopic.php?t=29352
It is a single PDF file with credits and instructions both included.

Ill see what I can do regarding credits but do note that the credits can also be found in this forum page within the individual NPCs' spoiler pages

[Just_Thomas]

I only saw the 'extra credits', as I have not opened every quote. I was only interested in the download to have a closer look at everything.
However this makes it easier, as the content of each credit would only be copied as a single textfile into each folder of your content.
Then you can see it immediately. I believe that most people are more likely to keep the download file or the extracted files of such an NPC pack and then look inside.

[MrNameless]

An extensive credits txt file has now been added in the "DOWNLOAD ALL" link

Thank you.

[AirShip]

Lovely creations, I will definitely using these in future projects!

[CM30]

Okay, these are some really cool NPC concepts here, with some clever behaviour patterns too. Definitely gonna mess around with these!

[TheGameyFireBro105]

Is the Biggler inspired by the Minecraft Mario Mashup Pack Sniffer Wigglers?

[mariobrigade2018]

Is the Biggler inspired by the Minecraft Mario Mashup Pack Sniffer Wigglers?

Yes. He gave credit to Mojang for the idea. I think that the answer is obvious.

[Chilly14]

All of these NPCs look really fun to play around with! Nice job!

[Dynam0]

This is mighty impressive! Very good ideas on display here and good coding to back it up. But I'm curious, are you planning on doing more SMW/SMB3 NPCs? Or have they all been implemented?

Im still planning to make more npcs from time to time, albeit much slower & by one this time as thinking of & creating unique original(-ish) NPC concepts is really difficult.

[Just_Thomas]

I actually once had the idea that users could simply post “wishes” or concepts for new NPCs or blocks in a "collection idea thread", but without this intrusive “please create this for me, I would like to have it”, but simply as an idea for people who would be interested in program and design it.
That could be the counterpart to the SMBX2 Custom Assets Index. So, I do not know what you looking for, but you are aware of this helpful table, aren`t you?

I wasn't aware of that list, thanks for sharing! I guess what I'm asking is, are there any SMB2/SMB3/SMW NPCs that have never been implemented by anyone in lua yet? So basically, NPCs you will encounter when playing SMB3/SMW normally that are completely unavailable in SMBX, basegame or mods?
