I just made a patch to fix this

Do those BGOs happen to be vanilla line guides? Those break this API. I don't have this problem with regular BGOs.

And no, Mother Brain doesn't work with lineguides. It seems to have some sort of stupid hardcoded positioning, so it probably won't be possible to attach directly in the forseeable future. However, with the update I just made, you can place another NPC on the lineguide, then attach that NPC to a layer with Mother Brain on it.

Sorry about the late response. You may have noticed that I'm never around anymore. I can be reached in the discodehaus discord.

I just saw this so I am late to this thread but amazing job and I hope this is included in 2.0. Wow really good job here. Hopefully there will be a descent amount of NPC's to use with it but if not it is still great.

These will be their own background objects in SMBX2 btw

In the OP, I did mention "a bunch of new NPCs" being added. There are are around 20 new ones, and 5 improved versions of older ones.

I was watching Mario Maker and saw some levels use Podoboo's and Koopa's on line guides. I think these would be good candidates for your lineguide. Is there a list of all of the NPC's you are making compatible with this?

It should be compatible with most NPCs. However, I haven't tested it with most of them because there are so many NPCs. There are nearly 200 vanilla NPCs. In SMBX2, this will expand to over 500 (540 are currently planned).
