Please! I have an error entering the game :cry: Can anyone help me to solve it?

Seems like an image is missing for effect. This might happen when you are renaming ids, so take a look at your folder(s) I guess :p

This error I'm getting when exiting one of my levels through a door:



And while I'm at it, I think I'll post this one that happens when I collect one of MDA's big coin npc's:

the first error is also related to a non-basegame script, namely warptransition. both of these would probably be better to report in their respective threads.

Hello I need help to solve an error that happened to me while I was playing an episode, so basically I left the star warp of world 4 to enter the star warp of world 5 an plop I left the map, apparently it bugged because I keep listening to the music of world 4, is there any fix or is it a lost game?

What is the episode? Did you met this issue just during a gameplay? Or you attempted to start playing an episode, and character started at an unexpected point? First think for the second case is a wrong gamesave file (possibly stolen from another episode).

Also, which branch of SMBX you do play? SMBX2? SMBX-38A? Or vanilla SMBX 1.3? TheXTech? (seems less possible, TheXTech enforces keeping aspect ratio and forbids its messing)

The episode is "Mario Time the Lost Levels", the error occurred when I was playing, I tried to use a warp to world 5 and it transported me to the middle of the lava.
I play on version 1.3.0.1, vanilla.

Just now I checked the episode itself. And... seems it's an actual BUG of episode itself:

So, the way how to fix your game:
- Get a fixed level https://disk.yandex.ru/d/aWsjys8Gz5gWuQ and put it at your episode's directory
- open your gamesave (save1.sav) in a text editor (before, make a backup just in a case!) [Text editor I mean NotePad. Never try use MS Word or WordPad, it just be a PLAIN text editor].
- find the 4'th line, and put the 4864 number as a value
- find the 5'th line, and put the 160 number as a value
- try to run the game

about line numbers, don't confuse, they start from 1. I.e. first line is always "64". Second line is a number of lives left. Third line is a number of coins you have, and 4'th and 5'th are world map coordinates.

How do I make a boss drop a key? Specifically mouser for my level

How do I make a boss drop a key? Specifically mouser for my level

There are at least some ways:

Simple vanilla way: put a key on a hidden layer, and attach that layer to the boss. Make sure key is over or matches to boss's position. Once boss NPC dies, show the layer with a key. This way will work for Mouser and easiest way to implement. The simple demo (works on any branch of SMBX): https://disk.yandex.ru/d/6qfvwQDR3TNTFQ

Hacky way: hook the NPC death event in your lua script, and spawn the key NPC after the died NPC. You could make the delay or play some animation on how this key appears.

I expect, there are other and better ways than these I explained.

Link and some of the non-Mario stuff is from The Legend of Zelda series, mostly Zelda 2 and A Link to the Past. The other non-Mario stuff is from Super Metroid, EarthBound (with a bit of Super Smash Bros. Melee) and Sonic the Hedgehog.

Sorta need help making paths and buildings appear visible on the map in-game not like in the editor.

Sorta need help making paths and buildings appear visible on the map in-game not like in the editor.

could you describe the issue you're having in greater detail?
in case any of this helps: a level can be set to be visible even before it's revealed by a path using the "always visible" toggle. paths will only become visible once a level they're connected to is cleared with the appropriate exit, and there is no way to manually make individual path objects visible outside of normal conditions without using a script. if you want a path to be unlocked at the start of the game, you could also connect it to the level marked as the game's starting point.

1: Is there a way to limit the player's controls (such as removing spin jump) and

2: Is there an easier way to import graphics (especially player graphics)?

Edit:
Thanks deice! this will help a lot!
