Hello!

It's a small bugfix release together with adding support for new platforms: Windows for ARM and macOS for the new Apple Silicon processors!
All download links at the WohlSoft page.

One small note that the builds I made for Windows and Apple Silicon platforms aren't well tested. Please report to me any possible problems regarding them.

It's a bigger update than usual: it contains bugfixes for the most annoying vanilla bugs and several new features! (Don't worry, if you have some episodes or individual levels built on bugs, you always can re-enable them using the compat.ini file to repair the work of those levels back!)

* Added the Speed-Running system: run the game by giving special command-line arguments to enable the next features: level and episode stopwatch, displaying of pressed keys states, global adjusting of specific limits and bugs-features depending on a chosen speed-run mode.
* The frame-rate controller accuracy has been improved, and the frame-skip hell has been resolved!
* Added the "compat.ini" to adjust the bugs compatibility per levels and per episode. You can find the manual here.
* Tuned the work of the credits screen.
* The work of the game loading screen now is smoother!
* Resolved the problem of a level restarting after player faults when auto-run events won't work at all.

And more other fixes: All download links at the WohlSoft page.

Hello!

A bugfix release:

Changes for 1.3.2.4: show

• Allow music change for outro level (if outro level has non-silent music, it will be played instead of built-in)
• Allow unlimited count of episodes and battle levels
• Fixed an incorrect effect frames count rounding, caused glitches at the death effect for a Hammer Bros.
• Corrected the sensitivity of axes-based sticks of game-pads to prevent the mystery, caused by value errors

All download links at the WohlSoft page.

Also a fix for the missing 2 pixels on Pokey's head death effect, and does platforms accelerating while player is powering also apply for grinders?

Also, reminder for the rest of my 1.3 bug fixes.

Some features may only be appropriate for SMR, but still some compatibility ideas contained.

Some features may only be appropriate for SMR, but still some compatibility ideas contained.

There are some functional fixes made on the main branch, however, to help people to deal with the compatibility issues regarding levels built on bugs, I made the "compat.ini" system, you can always re-enable certain bug or disable some random special feature of the game. Those features and fixes were making the casual playthrough of normally-made levels and episodes. However, because of several levels (or even episodes) built on bugs, they will require the "compat.ini" with specific features and bugfixes being disabled.

Thank You!

Thank You!

I'm glad you like my works

This is another bigger update with a dozen of important changes.

• This version features the first mobile version of the SMBX game developed for the Android platform!
• The gamepads support has been upgraded and exchanged, now it supports the hot re-plugging and auto-mapping for the gamepads and joysticks. Also, here you will be able to use both D-Pad and the left analog stick to control the movement of a playable character.
• In addition, there are other vanilla bugs that have been fixed such as the mortal bug that kills Link riding the Clown Car gets touched by the vine.
• To address compatibility issues with some levels the ability to restore the old behavior of checkpoints has been added into `compat.ini`. The Speedrun modes 2 and 3 will also restore the old checkpoints behavior back.
• The macOS version of the game now has the universal build that will run well on both x86_64 and the arm64 architectures (Thanks to @kode54 for the guidance on how to make it).
• Here you can copy and delete game saves from the game menu directly!
• And many other fixes and additions...

Nice, an update. Now I have to groan and transfer over my custom music.ini again.

Also, that rumble support sounds cool. When/how is it used by the game, or is it exclusive to forks?

You can download the engine-only update without replacing any game resources, which will simplify your life (find the "plain runtime" section on this page: https://github.com/Wohlstand/TheXTech/w ... vel-builds, on a current moment when I wrote this message, devel builds are matching to the release version).
I do keep my engine to be compatible with all asset versions to allow the game updates without necessary to update assets even they adding new things like some of the new SFX, if you'll keep old assets, the old sound's behavior will work.

It's used for bomb explosions right now in the mainstream build. Also, I kept the ability to disable some of what is not wanted

You're welcome! I wish I'd known about that runtime build before. That would have made updating MUCH quicker. Thanks for the tip!

Anyway, I gonna add the plain runtime links at the downloads page to let users be noticed about the quick update ability.

Some bugfixes which I forgot until now:

1. Banzai Bill when in a projectile generator has two issues. The first is that the player's presence will not block it. The second is that it cannot be hit with a raccoon tail.
2. Bloopers, if stomped when jumphurt=0, uses Rex stomped image.

And now a request, for the .gif recording - 256 fixed colors. This means that the colors are not used per-frame, but for every frame. This can lead to less-accurate colors in some images, but consistent colors throughout the entire .gif for moving/animated elements like the player and enemies.

Didn't pay attention, I need to check some on vanilla

EDIT: I did a check, player presence at the generator literally blocks them fine on both vanilla (always 1.3) and TheXTech

Odd bug, again, I need to check some first...
EDIT: Checked, lol, looks like Redigit forgot to fix that. I guess I should use the falling blooper effect instead.

This also would lead to higher load and bigger file size. Real-time GIF creation is a tricky thing, and yeah, there was an attempt to keep the same 256 colors palette for entire GIF, but result didn't became better, I hard remind, but you probably need to ask Rednaxela for that.

Are you sure, using both warping and projectile generator? Also, does generators only blocked standing on the 32x32 square, or by standing in Banzai Bill's entire 128x128 spawning space (which is an issue if it projectile-spawns on top of player)?

Another bug fix introduced by Derpy that I forgot: friendly npc-97 and npc-198 should not be counted by warps' display of the stars count for a level.

A few more ideas:

Simple:
Rumble effect when POW block is dead. Maybe Banzai Bill spawning, too?
Flag in event that can enable "Game Beaten" flag in save file (to allow episodes that do not need default credits to get 100%)
Add % sign to save file menu (to prevent confusion of how SMW shows exits integer amount instead of percentage), and maybe decimal completion percentage as well?
Flag in events that can enable/disable the 5 players in the .sav file, for switching them on the world map. This allows for "unlocking" or "removing" players from the player's roster as unlockables or for the story.
Flag in events - swap yellow, green, blue, red blocks' states (easy switch palace imitation for "level-loading-trigger-events" below)

Hard:
More NPC's immunities - I will try to compile a list if you are interested in adding this.
Events that can add and remove names from the level-loading-trigger events list, for that .sav file. This means that I make an event that adds the name "Show Creator Commentary Box" to the list, from then on, every level will load the event named "Show Creator Commentary Box" upon starting the level, if it has an event of that name. (For the technical side, this might be easily done by putting the added names from events in the .sav file and comparing it to the level's event names upon loading. When an event removes the name, it is deleted from the .sav's list.)
Event disabling (this allows to set an event to "forbid" another event from running, breaking event loops such as looping sound effects. This is not saved, and only lasts for the rest of the level. A permanent "named" event, as above, can be used to make this forbidding event always run at level-load and become permanent.)
Multiple stars per section (perhaps doable by the creator sets each star to have an ID, that can be saved to the .sav and will be checked to see if star of ID #x in y.lvlx got collected.)

Very hard:
Peach/Toad/Link's enabling to slide slopes, ride shoes and Yoshi?

I will probably make an episode with TheXTech if this gets added. These are the most important things I found are missing from SMBX 1.3.

This is the bugfix update that was made before starting the future big work.

Tip: Please use the plain application package at the bottom of the page if you want to quickly update your existing engine without taking any assets updates (for example, if you has the modded assets you made yourself and you don't want to re-apply all your patches again).
