We're streamlining the system and making it easier to use with the next release, but for now, gotta use this.
It's essentially a table which you write and read from with :set and :get, using :save to save stuff to the file.

Also, is there no way to make music play faster?

My mistake it was 0x13E. Sorry.

To load a graphics use the Graphics.loadImage function with the argument being the file path. You can place the file in your custom graphics folder along with your lunadll.lua file and your file path will just be the name of your file. Then draw it with Graphics.drawImageWP at a priority of 5 (HUD priority). You also could possibly just use Text.printWP or textblox.lua as well depending on how complicated you want the text to be instead of loading an image file. There's no way to modify music files rn but you can just use a program outside of SMBX to change the speed of the music file and then load and play it in LunaLua

Ok thanks. Also, I suspected I'd have to do that to the music, but that means I'll have to have nearly twice as many songs, and believe me I will be having LOTS of songs in my episode.

If you think about it, do you think you could make artificial 4-players by cloning player 1 and 2 and having player 3 and 4 control those clones?
Also, will 4-players be added in Beta 4? When will Beta 4 come out?

Code: Select all

function onKeyDown(keycode)
	
	if keycode == KEY_JUMP then
	
		if player.downKeyPressing then
		
			Text.print("YES",64,64)
			player.speedY = -30
			
		end
		
	end
	
end

What file do you have this in? Also btw -30 is going to shoot the player upwards

It's .lua.
Also, I want it to shoot me upwards. This is the start of a backflip.

As I edited in my comment above, I think the normal jump is overriding it.

mem(0x00B2C5AC, FIELD_FLOAT, 99)

OnStart does not. onStart does. These things are important.

Correction: I forgot to edit my post last night. turns out I was saving the changes as a .lua.txt file by accident. Apparently Notepad on Windows 7 got confused which file format I had. XD

In sum, Adding mem(0x00B2C5AC, FIELD_FLOAT, 99) as suggested works to a degree. The world map shows the lost life, it is restored to 99 when you enter a level again. Can Lua edit the overworld yet? Maybe that could fix it if the code could be injected during the overworld?
