Why don't we support LunaLUA more?

^^^^^^^^^^

Why can't we just make it the standard for SMBX nowadays? I mean I get that it's hard to use and all but SMBX 1.3.1 isn't up to standard anymore with SMBX 1.3.2 (If I'm not incorrect SMBX 1.3.2 is basically the LunaLUA version.)

You don't even have to have the community get into coding. SMBX 1.3.2 fixes some of the glitches that SMBX also naturally has. Why not just change the homepage where it links a download to SMBX 1.3.2 instead of SMBX 1.3.1 and just have the LunaLUA version become the new standard. I know you're not purposely holding the community back from this as they're always free to download and use it, but making it have an official global announcement and change the download link on the homepage will help support the people working on it more and more. If we do this we can eventually evolve as a community by making people slowly settle into LunaLUA and accept it as a norm. Do they have to learn coding? Of course not. Do you have to make this affect the competitions as well? Not if you don't want to. But making this the standard will help us evolve with our SMBX needs.

I like Lunalua and i'm tryng to learn it, others users are learning that, too, and we should ask Joey to include the lunalua smbx AND vanilla smbx download, just in case someone wants to code a mod or something like that from scratch.

Uhm... you mean 1.3.0.2 instead of 1.3.2 but I get what you mean.

Yeah we should change the main download to 1.3.0.2 rather than 1.3.0.1 but even then, if antiviruses is still a thing by blocking it's contents with it then I'm not sure how the younger audiences will react to that since they probably don't know how to change or ignore that specific error that antivirus thinks it's a virus on the exe file but it's not. I kinda had trouble back then as of how to ignore it but then I figured by my own but even then it asked me every time when my PC restarts or is on that this file is a virus which is kinda annoying.

1.3.0.2 comes with both a modded exe and an unmodded one.

And I fully agree that 1.3.0.2 should be the standardized version for everyone. One of the major fixes in 1.3.0.2 is the mushroom lava crash. People won't have to be afraid to place any mushrooms in castles anymore.

I aree, LunaLua even fixes bugs like the decimals thing and it's generally a good thing.

In the future there will be an official version of SMBX that contains LunaLua, but it's not going to come right now. I promise that it'll happen, though.

1.3.0.1 will remain the latest official version until then.
