Top 12 Reasons to Download LunaDLL

[FanofSMBX]

Lunadll v8 update: http://speedy.sh/cQbqT/lua51.zip

Even if you don't use lunadll, you can still play the episodes and levels of people who use it!

1. HUB Removing - finally! Full screen cutscenes and dramatic emptier screens!

2. NPC Replacing - this is only one function of one command but it is full of merit! Cannons that shoot fireballs, veggies, or iceballs! Hammer Bros. that throw rinkas, shells or Goombas! Infinite boss possibilities! Custom powerups!

3. Boss Health - ever wanted to just have a shorter or longer boss without any awkward effects? This is it! In addition you can use TriggerSMBXEvent to trigger SMBX events (shocker) when the boss is at a certain health - talking, more backup enemies, etc!

4. Custom Powerups - ever gotten bored of "yippee the same leaf in 1-3 like every other episode"? How about changed speed$ or jumping? Throw some pow blocks instead of hammers? Just a SML2 carrot? I almost forgot the gold flower!

5a. Custom Enemies - phantos and Z2 bubbles are already made! Think about it - complete custom enemies made from scratch! That's small but it's 2 more than you had in 2013! Don't forget that custom Bros. and Dino Torches have been modified from existing NPCs too

5b and 6a - custom sprites - custom collectable things... That can set permanent variables... Without stars? Across the whole game? Time to make an episode with post game content! Don't forget the metroid-like levels!

6b and 7a. Permanent Variables Misc. - switch palaces, NPCs that congratulate you for completing a level, doors that magically APPEAR when you have an amount of stars... Did I mention making certain tasks non-repeatable EX. Getting a key or fighting a mid boss?

7b. Multiple Checkpoints Without Stars - Step 1. Collect the custom item Step 2. Set a variable to trigger an SMBX event that shows a door permanently 3. Tada!

8. Showing Text - finally, a way to make cutscenes and talking without "deedle-de-deep" on every message! For a great use of this see the A2MBXT tutorial

9. Yoshi, Shoe, and Powerup Filters - Why force the player to hurt themselves or abandon a blue boot when you can cut out the middleman?

10. Improved Autoscroll - have you gotten bored of autoscroll levels that either have no checkpoints or turn into a normal level in section 2? The wait is ogre*! There's even an example of a checkpoint INSIDE an autoscroll section! (But I can't find it or I would post it here)

11. Gravity - Can I interest you in some space levels?

12. Level Timer - it's just like the classic Mario games!

* I made a shrek pun shoot me
$There's still problems with SMBX trying to cap the speed but I'll bet this will cease to be an issue later

STOP TRYING TO PERSUADE OTHERS TO DOWNLOAD THIS HOLY FUCK

[Bomber57]

This again?

[FanofSMBX]

I forgot the timer so updated.

[h2643]

This and Lua are pretty amazing things.

[Marina]

Good thing I have no idea how to program LunaDLL so I never use it.

[SuperMario7]

My computer blocks LunaDLL whenever I try to download it.

But seriously, it sounds kinda cool. Not gonna start using LunaDLL though (or at least not right now) because my project is already not using it. I'd download it if I could...but I can't.

[Imaynotbehere4long]

The wait is ogre*!

* I made a shrek pun shoot me

Puns only work if the word's meaning relates to what you are talking about. An example would be the classic "What's the difference between a piano and a tuna? You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish!" See, the speaker is talking about both pianos and tunas, so it works. Ogres have nothing to do with LunaDLL, so your pun doesn't work.

We know you have an obsession with LunaDll, but why are you making it even more obvious?

[Superiorstar]

Why the hell is this a thread.
This didn't need a thread.
And would you fucking stop trying to make people use LunaDLL your pissing of even XerX.

[FanofSMBX]

Yes, congratulations I like lunadll! Thanks for noticing!

Superiorstar: this is so people like darkmatt know what lunadll even does. He listed 3 things he knew lunadll could do so here you go.

[XerX]

You couldnt post this in like, DarkChaos topic with the list? You could have even just PM'ed this to DarkMatt.

[FanofSMBX]

This was for everybody, not just darkmatt. There are too many people scratching their heads at why I like lunadll for a PM so I just did this. In retrospect that's a good idea for the topic so I'll ask Joey to move it.

You could have posted in the LunaDLL topic for this one. There's really no point in having this thread separate.
