Bowser's Dark Plan Episode v4.0 Demo 4.5.2 Hotfix (updated to Beta 5 )

[Storm027]

well this one problem is the last thing u probably have to fix. I don't know how to fix world maps using the editor. I would do it my self if I could

[xDestroy]

at least I'm not alone. it was a real bummer when the main exit did not unlock the path. I'm glad the person who made this is still active on here

I would exactly Call myself "active" on here more like trying to stay alive in the cold cold mountain tops during a harsh winter alive & active really,

but Ill make a quick patch to fix the simple bug its a minor Error for it, the level path is suppose to go left but defaulted back to Right Then again this Episode is like 3-4 years old and with loosing interest with making Levels on here due to other important matters and whatnot, ill try to get it done as quickly as possible, No Gurantees though since I dont really have any more plans to update BDP v3 Like i did since I had to what i made was wiped clean

Also The goomba's stomp animation and when it gets hit by a fireball it docent have the same look of the custom goomba, please fix its driving me nuts

I downloaded both links and they both end with grassy fields 3. If your patching good luck man, I got a feeling your gonna need it

[Storm027]

I hope this is patched one day. I got this one in the broken episodes folder

[Grand Goomba]

I hope this is patched one day. I got this one in the broken episodes folder

I've fixed it!!

How I Did It:You know about the third level in the Grassy Plains? I fixed it simply by using the editor. The path turned right,so I simply changed it to the left.

Please let me know what you think.

[Storm027]

cool thanks! ill check it out soon. I just have not been on the forum much forgot my log in till now when I got a flash back

[Ryuji231]

Mind showing me how to change that? The instructions only showed me enough to know that you can. I just don't see the option to change it from right to left.

With a new passion to work on SMBX once again im going to have Bowser's Dark Plan come back with big Plans in the near future!

With this I am looking for any current feedback with v2.0 I've made on any gamebreaking bugs and over all design work that wasnt so appealing anywhere from insane difficulty spikes to areas that had minor things and everywhere in-between so i can make a quick patch on those sorts of bugs

Bugs that ill be patching right now including:
Broken level events
impossible enemy spam
Broken Pathway exits
confusing understanding of where to go in a level

Any level that has more than 1 star in a section (I seen one so far in W6's castle could be more)

This project of mine endded roughly 3 years ago so my memory with designing wasnt the best of choices but , im going to be working on fixing that in due time

With that I leave it to some feed back in the comming days

what version is this episode four i have smbx version 1.3.0.1 ??

[dragonfan96]

what version is this episode four i have smbx version 1.3.0.1 ??

the original episode for V2 is 1.3.0.1 also known as "Legacy Editor"

I'll be submitting a small patch to fix World 1's pathing as i had some levels named backwards (Grass Fields 1 is suppose to be 3 and 3 is suppose to be 1)

I also took the time to review and skim over some levels and woo-BOY do i got some work to fix out...


I'll be submitting the patch soon to fix Grassy Fields 3 and i believe the Toxic Caverns levels have the same issue over in W2....

[dragonfan96]

I've done some minor tweaking to the front original post here, as well as changed up how the progression will go for this episode.

I'll be submitting the patch soon to fix Grassy Fields 3 and i believe the Toxic Caverns levels have the same issue over in W2....

I've decided that because i cant get Legacy anymore (1.3.0.1) and that loading BDPv2 for me, for whatever reason crashes sometimes. I've decided not to patch what became of v2 because of how bad it turned out as it felt like it started okay, but then felt like I've rushed it starting World 3. And World 6 was just lazily added because WHY NOT!

Its going to be slimmed back down to what v1 would have been, with the added bonus is that it'll have better quality and a more balanced difficulty playing than what it was before being a nightmare to traverse in some of the later levels.

There was some redeeming qualities i kept such as the mini-games and other misc. levels included. I had, at the time which I also plan on updating and giving a better polished work on fixing making events more smooth and easier to follow.

Bare with me though as its currently just me working on the project/episode so it'll take a bit longer if needbe...

Lastly, I post frequent clips and screenshots of development in the SMBX Episodes and Projects Discord, a Sub-discord of SMBX to showcase progress on episodes which will mirror what is listed here!

Sometime either The end of July or first week of August, depending on how things go I'll release screenshots containing Demo 1 and I'll also be showing a YT playthough of the Demos as you play them if you're unsure on a puzzle or want to follow along!

[dragonfan96]

Demo Release 1.1 is out fixing some bugs within World 1!

If there's any more bugs or issues please let me know and dont forget we have a discord you ca check out for more detailed stuff that goes on for the production of Bowser's Dark Plan!

A sincere and HUGE thanks to @Prism aka gbradley231 and @Marioman2007 for their contributions to helping me out greatly with making Bowser's Dark plan and helping out finding various bugs so far.. I cant thank you enough

[dragonfan96]

Demo 2.0 Has been released..

Feedback & any bugs that you find will be greatly appreciated!

[dragonfan96]

Patched some minor bugs that came with Demo 2.. you should be able to continue past Irradiated Caverns 2..
I never added an exit type to that level since it was the level at the end of Demo 1 and was overlooked..

Huge thanks once again to gbradley aka Prism for doing so much for helping out with the development of BDPv4!

[dragonfan96]

Thank you to MegaDood, Prism & MarioMan2007 for reporting these bugs for Demo 2.2 as well as helping patch a moving layer bug with climbable fencing!

[dragonfan96]

Demo 3 is out now!

HUGE thank you to Prism for helping out with this release of Demo 3, and another big thanks to MegaDood with some lua help and assistance with making some levels as well!

Be sure to join BDP's Discord if you want up-to-date sneak-peaks at some new updates and more!
As always, feedback is greatly appreciated as well as any bugs that may occur when playing Demo 3!

This marks 50% of the episode as well for those wondering.. We're half way done with Bowser's Dark Plan v4!

[dragonfan96]

Bowser's Dark Plan v4 Demo Release 4.0 is now ready for the public!
I deeply apologize for the long wait, but it is FINALLY here!!!

[dragonfan96]

Made some bug fixes and changes to some of the levels within Demo 4, as such Demo 4.1 is now publicly available!

[dragonfan96]

I apologize if this may count as a bumped post, but wish to let those that are still interested in the project that I am somewhat back into making progress towards it, and wish to ask for any bugs, typos or grammatical errors please let me know, you can post them here, or on discord. I have my own project discord and have a channel in the SMBX Episodes & Projects discord or even through DMs is fine to contact me.
(Latest Version at the time of this post is 4.1.2)

I usually post teasers and screenshots on discord as well if you wish to know how Demo 5.0 is going!

I want to stress that this project isn't 100% back to its working compacity, more like 55%, it'll be somewhat slower rolling out updates on an older PC that I'm using instead of my own Laptop/PC(which is still in need of repairs).
