Here's my first project.It will be a recreation of Mario 64 in SMBX
Story:

Spoiler: show

Worlds/ courses:

gfx designer: FanofSMBX

Credits: FanofSMBX, braineat (NSMBX Revolution, permission asked), gfx packs
Structure of level/info for possible LDs:
Each course has 6 stars to find in the course (by searching, collecting red coins etc.), which exit the level and one available by finding enough (planned are 100 if suitable with level size) coins (yellow =1, red=2 and blue= 5 coins), which doesn't exit the level and appears right over the player.
Overworld Design would be enough as I can copy it to section and implement challanges.

But now, enough of the talking, here are some screens:

Thanks for using my graphics.

The clash is real in this. You really need to take inspiration from other great projects with great custom graphics choices to make this appealing to everyone. I can't judge the project by its graphics because I know what you're going for, and yes, it has been done before, but a Mario 64-style episode in SMBX always gets me in a good mood (e.g. The Original and New Great Castle Adventures, and Super Mario Star Expedition), but, like I said, you need to take inspiration from others so it could be less... you know, messy.

I wouldn't recommend using NSMB sprites in this project. They kinda look bad when put next to everything else.

Though if you do want to stick with it, you could find some NSMB tilesets so they fit.

Thanks for the advice.However, I have only few time at the moment according to schoolwork so this change to some more suitable gfx (maybe I can even rip some original 64 Tiles and NPCs) will happen slowly but constantly.If you want, you are invited to make some M64 or NSMB styled or custom styled similar to before named styles (especially tiles, which are, apart from playables my most unwanted graphic editings)
About Star Expedition/ NGCA: They are beautiful episodes but there's a difference between these and what I want to do:
One thing before everything else: you could even name me a dreamer as I want to realize quite complex things with lua (for that reason, there a 2 lua programmer spots, me counted,more welcome, too.NGCA and SE have a hub as the only 64 element while I want to have it present in the challenges and the gameplay, by which I mean the health point/ health-o-meter thing and different characters with various abilties ( I'm fully aware that this needs lua scripts not being basic stuff).
And finally, don't hesitate as I planned to fetch advice from the community and looking over it again and again until it looks and plays at least good when I started this.

Wario is the playable. NSMB graphic rips with 16-bit graphics. THE COURSE SCREEN IS BROKEN TO HELL AND BACK. Why are the bloopers GOLD.

The golden colour of the bloopers should be a (maybe unnecessary) hint to the star appearing after killing them all and to give them a little twist.

What do you want to say with this?

Has been mentioned already and will be improved/removed

Lyrin wrote:THE COURSE SCREEN IS BROKEN TO HELL AND BACK

What's wrong with which screen?

Sorry, but I don't understand the rest of your post.If I did, I would deal with the point criticized in there.(may be because of the paratax or because of the fact that I'm no native English speaker.

these two things don't go together and if you think they do then something's wrong.

As for the course screen I was referencing the fact that one of the course numbers were cutoff and the other one doesn't have a proper mask.

Gaming-Dojo · Postby **Gaming-Dojo** » Sun May 01, 2016 1:48 pm

I had understood few seconds later and edited.Have I really SMW Gfx in there? (apart from the pipes)

I know about that issue and will correct it (hope there are enough 64x64 backgrounds with mask).Sorry but I wanted to open this topic asap in order to get advice and/or practical help.

dat clash

what's with the windows in the castle? They don't match the tileset at all and they aren't even the same color as the rest of the level, never minding the fact that they are supposed to be attached to a wall that doesn't exist. SMW and NSMB together makes all of us cry. Just remember that.

Without window it looked dark and empty and with this window, I agree, it looks kind of missmatching.Another problem concerning this is, that I don't have a more suitable backgrounds and windows.So you're all invited to beacome an LD and make them.

Note that Sednaiur's exe does not have LunaLua support.

You rang? http://www.smbxgame.com/forums/v ... 35&t=10581

As for the project, it seems interesting, however i agree with the opinion that you should remove the nsmb graphics. My advice would be to try to make the project use smb3 graphics are those are the most plentiful on this forum. Alternatively try smw style, as that has the next largest amount of custom graphics made for it. If you need help making any graphics however... *opens Paint.net* ...i could try to make something. Just pm me if you need a tileset, and make sure you keep it reasonable.

Gaming-Dojo · Postby **Gaming-Dojo** » Thu May 05, 2016 4:50 pm

Thanks for the advice but I decided to keep NSMB graphics and 64 grahics and remove SMW/SMB3 graphics.Btw, is the graphic style of the 2nd and 5th screen ok or does is need an makeover?
And here are new screens in which I tried to apply your feedback (The black thing on the trees is a vine as I want to make the trees climbable but it would look odd if you made the vine a tree because then, the air would be climbable, too.

Feedback about choice of star select screen (older/newer screen) would be nice.
