Is there a "tile background image" option somewhere in the editor?

This option changes algorithm of background rendering when you trying to export big image of area or entire section. It appears on export settings dialog (when you actually opening image exporting)

I don't think you understand what I'm asking. I've realized that in terms of screenshots already, but I'm asking if there's something like that for use in the editor itself (when you are in are actually building the level), since many backgrounds present rendering errors instead of just continuing the way they should

If you want to force your background image be shown tiled in editor, make a background-*.ini (or background-*.txt, no matter, both INI and TXT are supports same) file, which some sort of npc-txt like config but for background images, in level custom folder with next contents:

Code: Select all

[background2]
tiled-in-editor=1

Thank you. That will be very useful. Is there any chance you can make some of the backgrounds tiled by default in the editor such as the SMW Forest backgrounds?

Be sure, because Redigit's internal organization, background ID's and ID's in images are not same, so, follow to lvl_bkgrd.ini to find which backgound-ID you need to make a txt config for customization. If you want make that change globally, goto configs/<pack>/lvl_bkgrd.ini file and find necessary background ans set same flag to it
background2-*.txt just ability to customize that per level/episode (that will work in PGE only), but specification of background2-*.txt, background-*.txt, block-*.txt are same as global INI except [block], [background], [background2] begin instead of full [block-344] identification

PGE Engine: Another experimental playthrough (Engine v. 0.2.6)

Hey, is there any way to disable Auto test, it keeps crashing PGE

Hey, is there any way to disable Auto test, it keeps crashing PGE

1) Which version of editor/engine you are have? (Or try to install from laboratory)
2) F5 key is a key to run testing, to reload file is F8 key (Kevsoft swapped that, but later I'll add support to redefine hotkeys)
3) SMBX Integration or PGE Test?

1 I have v0.3.1.10
2 Okay
3. It just does it randomly with abort

I have kind of a silly question, but just making sure...

In vanilla SMBX it's possible to get a crash when there are decimals in the npc text-files, and PGE fixes this. I was wondering if I add "speed = 0.5" to an npc-text file, will the actual npc be slower with all region settings?

Usually this parameter changes movement speed of most NPCs, but on some NPCs that takes no effect

Yup, I found this out already. But what I mean is, those NPCs that the parameter works on, does it work on all region settings? I know there is no longer the crash, but does the npc get slowed down or sped up in also those regions that don't use "dot" for decimals but comma instead? If for example I have "speed = 0.5" in the npc-file.

Well, to be honest I can change my own region settings and test this.

LunaLUA-SMBX has fix of this trouble and dot going by default. SMBX made in USA where dot is standardized, in Russia and other countries standard is a comma. Dumb VB's parser of floating point numbers is very dependent to region settings (To use Vanilla-SMBX I setting up a dot in the region settings). Crash appears when npc.txt (or even LVL, WLD, etc file too!) contains floating point number with dot while region settings are seted up to comma because parser is idiot.

Anyone have tutorials on PGE? I am terrible at using it.

Hopefully this will help you to learn the basics:

Somehow, there's a level I'm trying to work in PGE although it works in the Legacy editor, if I try to open it in the PGE editor, it crashes while load progress is half-way done.

Try build from laboratory (download one of ZIP's, but remove pge_editor.ini/pge_engine.ini/pge_calibrator.ini which are included into zip) and please send me that level if crash still appear (with all included stuff)

[Ness-Wednesday]

I downloaded the put forgot to remove the pge_editor.ini/pge_engine.ini/pge_calibrator.ini and they replaced the older ones, and thus now PGE crashes when it's loading the editor itself.

Pack "crashsave" folder and send it to me to let me check why crash happens, after rename it into any other name, then restart editor

[S1eth]

I redownloaded the PGE editor with the pge-online-downloader.exe and I am experiencing problems.

I installed PGE to S:\SMBX\PGE
My SMBX 2.0 folder is at S:\SMBX\SMBX 2.0

Pressing F5 to start a level in SMBX opens the legacy SMBX launcher, and then PGE editor stops responding.

Screenshots:

Spoiler: show

[Wohlstand]

I think, you need to take night dev build of LunaLUA because this lacks required feature to correctly stay test

Thank you. That fixed the problem. (the only thing left to do was uncommenting fireball.ogg from sounds.ini)
