SMBX2 (2.0 Beta 3)

[1230m 1]

1) Some messages in this thread say that without breaking compatibility you cannot add triangular blocks from SMW. But why not make "inverted" character sprites for these blocks as controlled effects? In the likeness of Mega-characters from SMBX38A.

Since those responses, Hoeloe has written a player:render function which re-draws the player character, so now the hardest thing is really just the physics involved. If we on the team don't take a look at it for a long time, someone else will have the same tools as us to attempt it for themselves in the next release.

2) Make a new SMB1 Bowser. Have which can be turn off attack hammers or fire. And also it would have a few drop frames (given below).

Maybe someday. The team mostly works on NPCs they currently want to work on, so there's a high chance that someone outside of the dev team feels inspired first. If they make one and the code is nice, they can ask us to include it in basegame in the future, crediting them.

Currently our focus is more on polish, but if noone beats me to wall triangles, I might just try them for Beta 5.

Okay, thanks for the answer.

But I do have one problem: when I go down the tube on Mario Challenge, I'm brought back to the level of "choice" of characters and power-ups.
And if I try to play for one of the new characters, I automatically switch to Mario.
And when I try to change the number of lives or stages, this error is displayed:

I just tried replicating the error on my Beta 3 copy. It works just fine there. Do you have anything that might make your installation non-standard?

No. From the only difference that I noticed - unpacking with "WinRar" and not "7Zip" (here as I remember it was advised to unpack).

Now I will try to download from another mirror and unpack using 7zip.

[Emral]

Should be fine still. Odd. Maybe the mirror was off, yeah. If another one works, can you specify which one didn't work?
Also, make sure to not extract over your existing installation when testing a different mirror.

Downloaded from another mirrors (on this time - Mega). Unpacked with 7Zip. But the errors still remained

One question. Need exactly OpenGL 2.0 or can I use SMBX2 with all its features, having later versions of OpenGL?

[Emral]

OpenGL is backwards compatible with older versions.

I tried downloading from different mirrors and unpacking by different methods. Nothing worked.

Quite a strange idea. But can you upload your version MarioChallenge? Maybe this replacement will help.

My copy of Beta 3 is completely unaltered, so it would be extremely weird if this changed something.

You were right. It's not working.

Why is there so few flying enemies with jump hurt if you land on them? I found a flying spiny and a bat. Was the Mario series this lacking in this area because looking outside of beta4 and smbx I only see phantom and the flying blooper. I am just wondering if any one else noticed this? Maybe I can give jump hurt to a Koopa so I have a "hazard" for the air similar to snalicorn for the ground.

Beta4 looks to be amazing with the number of stuff in it. Hopefully when it's released we can get more people interested in helping with beta5. I can't wait for the day we get urchin in beta5. I don't know about anyone else but I'm crazy about this game and the bugs and crashes and lack of polished stones when adding new stuff is what kept me from not really getting far but beta4 looks to change all of that. Thanks guys. I can't wait for this to come out.

I can't think of too many enemies that are flying and hurt you if you jump on them. Only really Boos, Thwomps and the flying light circles from smb3 come to mind missing from this list. I think the enemy designers thought that flying enemies that you can't jump on are rather annoying to avoid/kill so theres usually just Boos or Thwomps around. But with SMBX its easy to make your own. Just use flying enemies you dont need in that level, give them a spike or a complete unique sprite to make it obvious and turn on that option that the enemy cannot be jumped on. Voilá. Thats the magic of SMBX over Mario Maker... you can sort of create new NPCs and arent just limited to give them wings or a mushroom... I wish you could give Goombas a spike on their head in Mario Maker, and I dont mean just placing a Spiny on them because then the Goomba itself is still just a Goomba and can be jumped on should the Spiny fall off....

So i see you have the new website design, and finally added the previously rare to find Beta 2 version.
But the new "SMBX2 Beta 3 Gameplay Trailer" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-CmAeO ... e=youtu.be) is not really clear whats new, whats the lunalua originating from 1.3.0.2. This was also the issue in previous trailers, but since this one is only about gameplay footage, it make it even more confusing.

The gameplay trailer isn't new. It was just previously on Horikawa's channel and I now host it on my own instead. It's merely the footage from the Beta 3 trailer, but unedited, so that it flows better as passive background video on the website.

What's the difference between the non-sleepwalking Snailicorn and the Bully from vanilla SMBX? I thought those enemies were basically the same thing.

The Snailicorn works like a Snailicorn and the Bully works like Redigit.

There are no new powerups. And in Beta 3 you can find the new NPCs through the Level Itembox. Bony Beetle, Maverick Thwomp, Starman, Magikoopa, Boo Circle, Boo Laser and Diagonal Podoboo are all there.

[bowserkoopa24]

i can find some of these NPCs, are these all? (probably not)

The ones I mentioned are the NPCs we included in SMBX2 beta 3. At the time, we were unable to add npcs beyond ID 300.

how was the then 1.4 version able to do it in 2015? 5438A38A has more tallent than you?
