SMBX2 (2.0 Beta 3)

[Enjl]

Ironically, the biggest external thing holding back release right now might be Mario Maker 2, since Nintendo might think we're trying to interfere with their profits and marketing. I say "might", because it's unclear if any delays have to happen because of that, or if we just happen to get release ready by the time that hype and initial sales period have died down (or later). Until that's clear we'll continue working on getting the project into peak condition.

Still in beta? Wow. Hasn't this been in development, and promised to be out "in a couple of days" for like a year now?

you haven't noticed anything

this is still in development, it's going on for longer than previously anticipated but that's because of
1) the load of new content (200+ NPCs alone)
2) bugs (the major part as of now)
3) running on lower manpower than before (however the dev channel at discodehaus is still active)

for these reasons, the team has declined from claiming a set release date. It will be out when it's ready.

edit: on the other hand there is indeed evidence that the release is getting closer.

i just copied and pasted this from trailer video, there was this comment

just a suggestion for a later version, perhaps some event triggers from 38A such as the player taking damage / dying or easier to make time limits?

[Cedur]

What do you mean, what special things should happen upon taking damage or dying? It sucks that if you get damaged in 38A, you can no longer stomp on enemies

He actually meant the new auto run events in 38A which activated under certain conditions like an autorun event for taking damage/dying or few other options. But i am 100% sure you can already detect these stuff with luna lua so this suggestion seems pointless.

actually no, i worded that incorrectly. i meant that 38A lets you damage and kill the player via events.
the things i circled in this image are what i was talking about in my previous message:

[Enjl]

In lua:

Code: Select all

function onEvent(eventname)
	if eventname == "hurtplayer" then
		player:harm()
	elseif eventname == "killplayer" then
		player:kill()
	end
end

Just gotta have hurtplayer and killplayer events in your level and execute them!

Help! Every time I try to go to any level using new features I get this error:

Help! Every time I try to go to any level using new features I get this error:

Maybe the levels require LunaLua libraries that aren't installed

I installed SMBX2, nothing then is not removed. So no. (if anything, I ran SMBX2 Demo Stages)

There are lua libraries that aren't included with SMBX2, maybe the levels require one of them

Please don't just guess. A library not being found wouldn't cause the engine to crash, it would just cause LunaLua to crash

Okay. I found out that the malfunction was due to the antivirus. Thank you for trying to help.

I thought that crash was from Luna, sorry

Is the water bubble BGO (background-173) going to get the full 4 frames from the original dirty bubble graphic in SMW?

That would break all custom graphics replacing it. You will have the option to add extra frames to that bgo on a per-episode basis, though.

Any idea why the site for SMBX2 is still down?

Yeah that is a good point and the longer we wait the more time you guys will have to add more content. 1 quick question. I am hoping that the restrictions on adding new npc's such as enemies will be lifted for beta5 or are you guys just going to leave it as is since there are dummy slots to add more stuff later?

What restrictions are you referring to?

The site has been down for a long time now and it's unlikely it will be back up properly for a while. I'm not sure on the specific details but if you want to get the download for SMBX2, there are other places you could get it; i'm not sure where exactly but if you go back a few pages in this thread, there should be a mirror link for it.
