hahahahahahahahahaha

no

sorry i dont think anyone wants 20 minute speedruns

hehe, It can be beaten in less then half that time.

Anyway, how are secret stars treated in these Speed runs?

less than 10 minutes

incredible

Should I speed run it again with this lua script?

Also,

, you should remove the luna file from the level and name it "lunaworld.lua" and place it outside of the graphcis folder.

I plan to have each level have it's own lundll file, as there my be some specific code for certain levels that may happen.

Also, if it's alright, I may shorten your level to something like 2-3 minute long or something like that (Once I get around to it.)

also since it's meant to be a castle, I'll have a look once a 1-2 and a 1-3 have been selected.

Umm, this is with a truckload of lag. I also made a lot of mistakes! I can get to the mid-boss in 0:45.00 or less, but after that, their is so much lag, it is hard to do it without a mistake. I am determined to get a video of it beaten under five minutes!

Drat, if it's laggy, then It definitely would have to be shortened for sure. Also, considering the theme of the castle, it may fit better in a later world, since I was thinking a more basic castle for world 1.

Might even be a unique special world level or something.

I can send my original 1-C.

Sure go right ahead, show me what ya got.

Two suggestions -
- It'd be a good idea to make this into an API, so it can be used with any level rather than having to put it in levels' individual folders.
- It'd also be nice if there was an option to disable the auto-powerup thing.

EDIT: also oh nooooo i was looking at the code and you should probably just make it so it just auto-detects if you beat the level or not and stops the timer. I believe there's a player offset for that.

EDIT again: looks like there's no player offset. just use onNPCKill or something

You could also use "function onEnd"

Thanks for the suggest. Though I was thinking since the main focus was speedrunning through the level, I figured why not give the player some extra power to start with since in most cases stopping for a power up would definitely waste time

I was actually thinking of doing it with onNPCKill, though this seems to work ok too, though if I did would I have to write a function for every different level ending npc?

I thought a universal API for all levels would be handy, though this method seems alright, just incase there's some unique settings for certain levels that should arise.

EDIT: Function onEnd eh? Interesting ^^

Actually, a speed run should be done starting small. Going for a power-up is not always the slower way depending on what is required to get the power-up and what the power-up actually is.

No you don't. Just check if the npc id is eqaul to (exit obj 1) or if it's equal to (exit obj 2) etc and also check if the kill reason isn't 9 (despawning)

I'm pretty sure that event is only called at the exact moment you exit the actual level, rather than hitting the goal. Unless I'm wrong. Can't test it right now.

What ever happened to this (Sorry if it is considered bumping)

I'm a bit late but Level.winState may come in handy for stopping the timer.

Sorry guys! I pretty much had lost interested. I should've mentioned something though. Sorry about that. X-x

That and there was a stage I wanted to add for 1-2, but I never got confirmation for it, so I never added it.

Though considering everything going on on my end, I think I'm gonna cancel it, unless someone else is interested in expanding on it, I'll post the most updated version when i get the chance.

So much for having fun on this.

Sorry guys. I just don't see myself keeping up with this very well. (At least not very quickly anyway)

I can still probably do stuff, it'll probably just be very slow overall.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a relatively easy cave level for 1-2?

I do, but it may be lost. in the contest held by KoolKat (A banned user), I used a Cave level that was my old 2-1 that I never publicly released. ...a user by the name of

I don't know; that level might be a bit too difficult for 1-2, especially if you don't fix the problems it has (ninja Thwomp, unintuitive dragon coin, etc.).

For those wondering, the level is here: http://www.smbxgame.com/forums/v ... 20#p102998
