How is it broken? It works fine for me. Did you also copy the lua file for npc-263 (the ice cube)?

oh **** I was missing a lua file? gtg

update: everything works now, thx!

Yea, Core forgot to mention that in her post when she introduced the ice bro and Venus Ice Trap. Glad to see it working now!

hey this is really cool but does anybody know how to change the time limit on the frog switch?

Open up the lua file for the frog switch, should be line 26 where it's apart of a table where it says "time = 180"
180 would equal 3:00 however you can change this to whatever you like, every 60 is 1:00(1 minute) for the timer

I recommend Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code for reading Lua script files, if you are unable to open them, or make modifying the file easier

thank you!

Hey, just an FYI, but the ice ball for the ice bros (aka NPC 832) is broken and needs to be fixed for beta 5.

When I copy the 263 lua file, it doesn't work. I don't get it. =(

Where are you putting it?

In the ice bro lua code.

That's the problem. It will only work if it's in the npc-263 lua file, like this:



(ignore the CGFX there, it's irrelevant)

Ok. So I copied the npc-833 lua code into the npc-263 code. And this is what happened:

I'm losing hope.

P.s., I had the Ice Bro. reskinned for SMB1

NO! DON’T DO THAT! *sighs deeply* you copy the actual file for npc-263 (NOT THE CODE. THE ACTUAL FILE.) into your level/episode folder. If someone could post a gif of what I’m talking about, that would be greatly appreciated.

[KJPopcorn]

Ok. Everything works now. Just got a little confused there. Heh heh heh. If only I could get it to sit still, though.

And that’s unfortunately out of the scope for (almost) everyone. Maybe Core can add a alt version for it if you yell at her enough.

setting it to "don't move" should do just fine. Otherwise, speed=0

He means the enemy ice cube acting like the NSMB series (or 38a).

The conveyor belt-platform works fine but animates way too slow. My suggestion is to set the framespeed to 2 and line 26 to

Code: Select all

local time = math.floor(lunatime.tick() / (config.framespeed)) * (speed)

This way it animates exactly as fast as it moves the player/NPCs on top of it.

Where is the conveyor belt-platform?

You better contact her on discord instead of pinging her here.

Hello! I have a question. How the "shoot" from the boss npc works?

[Anthonity]

Apparently you can eat the red ring and the coins when you're on a yoshi. It's a easy fix but I'm just telling you

We outta Red Coin Rings... exclaimed Yoshi as he has a ring-shaped neck.

On a serious note, I feel that's a pretty minor fix which the user can do easily lol, would be as simple as setting "noyoshi" to true or 1. I'd genuinely find it funnier if you allow Yoshi to eat red coin rings tho lol.

Bro why are you making a mountain of a molehill, just set noyoshi=true and move on with your day.

No need to be like that, they were just reporting a bug

I'm having issues with the WL4 Switch NPC.
After warping from one section to another, the music goes away. It doesn't come back. This issue has been very frustrating, and finding a fix for it would be great.

I have found the issue. Adding custom music to sections cuts off the escape music. And it's not like the section music plays, no, ALL music is gone. It's completely silent.
I'm not sure if anyone else has this issue, but it is very annoying.

I was having this issue too, but the best option IMO if you're using custom music is to put a music.ini file into your episode/level's folder, go in it, and change the path and file name of a vanilla song to that of your custom music. I'm using custom music in 2 separate sections in one of my levels with the Frog Switch as a main gimmick of the level using this tactic. I do wish there was a simpler fix for it though.
