[Mable]

Holy shit this might be the first engine of a new created thing since a bunch of people said they do it and it never happened but this just looks awesome. Dude keep it up you and the team.

Edit: Could be me but in the german version it says Als Bos setzen which actually should be Als Boss setzen.

Question: Can you edit Events with this yet? I can't seem to find the option to do so.

Question: Can you edit Events with this yet? I can't seem to find the option to do so.

I think, you inattentively looked:
I wrote:

This version can control almost all SMBX level elements, but now you can't edit/delete/create exists events. Events control will be implemented in next version.

But already exists events in level you can use on NPCs or on Blocks via Properties dialog (RightMouse->Properties to item) and save them.

[DarkMatt]

Alrighty. Thank you.

Question, what image format do custom sprites have to be?

[Wohlstand]

Question, what image format do custom sprites have to be?

Hi, same, that for SMBX - gif (but instead SMBX, this must be real GIF, not BMP, saved with "GIF" extension, or you will get this error).
But possible to use any image formats, like PNG, and without using masks, but need define them in global INI-File (and with engine part I will expand NPC.txt, and give to user possible change almost any INI-options, even image file name). Don't forget, my engine fully compatible with SMBX, and saved by PGE-Editor levels can be opened and played in original SMBX.

[Wohlstand]

Because we have a lot of Lazy-made graphics (and result creating of this graphics - broken render of sprite), like by:
- saved BMP file wilth GIF extension (Image will not be loaded by my editor, and you see ghostied instead target GFX)
- created mask as copy of original but with white background (result render is too dirty and semi-transparent):


Here I made guide for images glitches because using of lazy-made graphics:
