SMBX 2.0 Open Beta

If this was a stupid thing I wouldn't make a whole post about it, the things are getting worse for me and I don't even have the fault. Anyway I just will take a sigh and will try to forget about this, sorry for not contribute something relevant to the main post.

Maybe point out where this alleged hate was happening? I'm in most 2.0 places and I've never once seen anything said about you.

Something that I'm finding is somewhat of an inconvenience, is that when PGE loads (I have the prerelease to Beta 3) there is no way to minimize the loading window. It would be better imo if it was possible to minimize the window while it's loading, or just have it go to the behind another tab if you click out of it. Right now it's a little obtrusive

Oh yeah, the splash image that doesn't go off. At least PGE loads fast.

Funny fact: For fun I searched up "smemebx" on Bing just for fun to see what it would come up with; the first result it returned was this topic

[Enchlore]

Oh hey, what have we here?

Stay tuned for more info, expect some soon!

That's some Mario Remix-like stuff. It's great to see all this amazing stuff being done with SMBX.

You can do that in the lab version.

We solved a very tricky bug today. The costumes will now save between the levels on Mario challenge thanks to it.

I have a very awesome idea:
One of the things i love so much in smbx, is the 2 Player Mode!! It is SO FUN to play with friends together!! And so i thought, HOW FANTASTIC IT WOULD BE, IF WE COULD PLAY UP TO 4 PLAYERS!!!!

[migueeel]

4 Players would just be cluttery xD

I want to ask a thing for the team:

You don't need to do that in 2.0, and I know that this should be extremely easy to implement with Lua, but it would be cool to turn off the collision between 2 players. It's horrible to play a level with a friend and be thrown off a platform when he gets to your side. So this could be an option to enable/disable without using Lua.

I know that this must be extremely easy to implement with Lua

Honestly, you'd be wrong. Messing with internal SMBX collision is one of the hardest things to do, and it's why we aren't officially supporting multiplayer at this point in time. All the new characters will only work in single player mode simply because of this. Eventually, we plan to get more hooks and such to allow this to be possible, but it's not high priority at the moment.

I wasn't going to say "must", but "should", I didn't pay attention to my message.

Thanks for the explanation!

Does 2.0 in the future anytime have any plans for save stating without having to download it separately? Probably not a top priority but thought id bring it up and no not talking about PixelPest's in the works version XP

Most if not all of the downloadable Lua libraries on the PGE wiki will be standard in 2.0, many with upgraded versions, and there will even be some entirely new ones.

The savestate library does exist in 2.0, but there are issues with using it as a general-purpose savestate system. It does not save the state of everything, and cannot save the state of any Lua.

I noticed how in Shogun (one of the test stages) that there are Volcano Lotuses with different behaviors. How would we change its behavior?

This will be documented.

There is a thread for it here, though wait for tomorrow for me to update it first. It is currently for old version. Also planning on making a wiki page for it too.
