On that note, could you allow both player 1 and player 2 to use the same character in multiple character episodes? That's kind of an annoying limitation in SMBX.
Sure. Added to the suggestions list.

Remember to use another palette for Player 2's sprites, so they won't be confused.

Then a NPC catches at the same Y coordinates as the player is and moves at the same speed as the player, which is -2 per second. If you want a better explanation of what I mean is another way to track the player's movement, but also include his coordinates.
Just to corroborate you actually either considered this idea or not.

If I'm getting what you're saying, this should be possible if I make the player coordinates accessible in the events window.

I was thinking of being able to edit the jumping height for the Podoboos (Jumping fireballs), as an advanced NPC option. It might work.

I think a better solution would be to just have them jump to whatever height they are placed at like Lunar Magic does.

My apologies if this has been asked(don't have the time to sift through 50 or so pages as real life is killing me), but are there plans for any additional enemies that were forgotten, such as Boomerang Bros, etc.?

Beyond that, it's awesome to see general engine improvements and advanced flexibility.

Mini-Update:
Fixed regular Mario's collision, and animation.

Enabled the creation of desktop shortcuts when VSMBX is installed.

I think this will be the last of the work I'll do until VSMBX is released on October 1st. Until then, I'll be looking for maps of smbx save files to figure out how it works so I can create a converter. Other than that I'll be planning out more of the course VSMBX will take.

Seriously, this is legendary!

Yup. Couldn't have said it better.

I agree with this.

Also, this is hella hype, as the others said! This has come so far, GhostHawk!

Well... That's what I meant. Just worded it differently.

Just to be clear, does this come with a partially complete engine?

It comes with a started engine, not a partially complete one. Mario can only walk left, right, and fall right now.

So for the beta, he won't be able to jump?

No, not yet I'm still working on that. This is an editor beta, but you can play around just a bit in levels.

OMG, I just had an idea: just like the Force Button in Events, what about a option to disable one of the moves, so for instance he can't walk left, or jump, or run, etc., in that specific level?

Hmm, perhaps not the best time for suggestions, but when you implement Hammer Bros., could you make them work like they do in the actual Mario games (i.e. they can jump up and down through rows of ? blocks and brick blocks)? It feels a lot more fluid than how they work in SMBX.

Congratulations on the release of Beta 1 GhostHawk! I'll be sure to try this out. It's good to see all of your hard work pay off.

Holy shit, it's here! This is so exciting! Unfortunately I don't have access to a Windows image now but you can be assured that this will be the first thing I do when I do, which will be soon. You are a wonderful person.
