When I test my script (it is just a simple timer counting upwards per frame), nothing appears in the standard SMBX level editor. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I put the "lunadll.lua" file in my "test" folder in my "worlds" folder, where I also have the level I'm testing it with. Is this wrong?

So the tree (file structure) should be the following, correct? If so, do I have to copy the lunalua.dll to other folders if I want the same to apply to other levels?
SMBX
-|Worlds
---|Test
------|MyLevel
---------|MyLevel.lvl
---------|lunadll.lua

I assume that it's possible to script because of lua's flexibility from what I can tell, but if it isn't, then that's a shame.

function onStart() --runs when the level starts
	player.powerup= 1 --sets player to small (mario, luigi)
	player:mem(0x16,FIELD_WORD,1) --set hearts to 1 (for peach, toad, link)
	player.reservePowerup = 0 --optional, resets item in reserve powerup box to none
end

but that didnt work for me the engine doesnt know those files are in th folders

Well, you need to type it as ("NPCs//moarrinkas") for it to work. Though, the API's kinda broken as of now so you're better off not using it anyway.

So, when will the rewrite begin just out of curiosity?

There are no plans to release another update for 2.0 before the year is over. Please be patient.
