Thank you for telling me this but I checked all of Mario's sprite sheets and there all filled. But hey at least this could be something I can refer back in the futureMarioRPGExpert93 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 5:11 pmDude, i had the same problem with my own Sega Mega Drive Mario sprites. Did you fill the complete sprite sheet with your custom sprites before booting up the editor?
As far as I'm aware, the only way to work around it is to not use 38A.
This is also my understandingHoeloe wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 8:18 pmAs far as I'm aware, the only way to work around it is to not use 38A.
Thank you, i'll just upgrade to the 2.0v(X2)Hoeloe wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 8:18 pmAs far as I'm aware, the only way to work around it is to not use 38A.
That was a bad ideaFireLock48 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 10:06 pmThank you, i'll just upgrade to the 2.0v(X2)
Why was it a bad idea to download 2.0 and give it a try?FireLock48 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 06, 2018 3:16 pmThat was a bad idea
Because I could not convert my 38A levels into 2.0 levels, plus 2.0's editor is confusing to learn and had problems finding tutorials.Teemster2 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 07, 2018 2:03 amWhy was it a bad idea to download 2.0 and give it a try?
yeah it probably is but I just thank its simpler use.
I don't want to come off as defensive, here, but is it, probably, that you don't want to learn to actually use the editor. I've used it for quite while, it takes time to adjust, maybe try using it more and exploring the surroundings and don't give up, when beta 4 arrives, that is. Also, I've heard of a plugin or something that allows 38A to be used on PGE.FireLock48 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 13, 2018 11:44 pmBecause I could not convert my 38A levels into 2.0 levels, plus 2.0's editor is confusing to learn and had problems finding tutorials.
Added in 2 minutes 41 seconds:yeah it probably is but I just thank its simpler use.
well, It's not that I did not want to learn it, it was just very difficult to do so and don't get me wrong I did kind of dread it. I tried to learn it but I search everywhere online, and could not find a tutorial so the only things that I could do is the straight basics and that was it, and that makes a bland level (in my opinion) because the way I like to make a level is that I have to have something 'custom', like custom gfx, custom music, or the use of layers and events. A really good reason why I do stay with 38A is that it had lots of stuff going for it, like different ways to edit. Now that's not to say that there's not different was to edit in 2.0 because there is and when I first heard of 2.0 (which that was before I heard of 38A) I wanted to use it because there was all sorts of thing like new characters and stuff but then I figured out that the editor was built like lunar magic (a Super Mario World editor), which at the time I was learning lunar magic but the difference is that I was able to find a tutorial for lunar magic but not 2.0 and as I was looking every where for a tutorial, I stumbled upon a trailer for 38A and I immediately wanted to use it because there were new power-ups, new npcs, and baby yoshis. 38A focused on ways that you could spice up levels where 2.0 only focused on changing up the physics, and editing in 2.0 feels like a hassle but 38A's editor actually feels fun to edit, like you can ride a shell in 38A just think of some spicy levels to make with thatWestretroman wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 3:15 amI don't want to come off as defensive, here, but is it, probably, that you don't want to learn to actually use the editor.

Having used lunar magic... Kinda? Lunar Magic is a lot more clunky though. The only similarities I can see is having the menu bar at the top and being able to have several windows open at once, which are both positives IMO.FireLock48 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 10:38 amfigured out that the editor was built like lunar magic (a Super Mario World editor)
SMBX2 doesn't change the game's physics at all. 38A does.FireLock48 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 10:38 am38A focused on ways that you could spice up levels where 2.0 only focused on changing up the physics
Weird, for me it's exactly the opposite. It's almost like experience in an editor makes alternatives cumbersome and harder to adapt to.FireLock48 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 10:38 amand editing in 2.0 feels like a hassle but 38A's editor actually feels fun to edit
You can ride rainbow shells in SMBX 1.3 and SMBX2 as well. The possibilities are honestly very limited.FireLock48 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 10:38 amlike you can ride a shell in 38A just think of some spicy levels to make with that
FireLock48 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 10:38 amAnd what 2.0 needs to do is a way to convert 38A levels!
Enjl wrote: ↑Fri Jul 06, 2018 3:28 pmSMBX38A is a different engine to SMBX1.3/SMBX2 and it uses its own level file format. I presume that's the issue you ran into? You can open SMBX 38A levels with PGE and reconvert them back, I think. Or copy all the level objects out and into a new file or something.
Thank you for telling me this but I'm just more comfortable with 38A right know plus I'm working on some episodes and I don't really feel like converting them but when I have the time I will give it another try and this time I'll put a little more 'backbone' into it! And 2.0 REALLY needs to add the additions that 38A made like the powerups, the baby Yoshi's, and what not. And also 2.0 does change some physics, they change the spin jump to a more SMG spin jump (well at least from what I've seen). But again thank you, I'll use this to refer back to in the future.Enjl wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 10:53 amhttps://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/PGE_EditorFireLock48 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 10:38 amI tried to learn it but I search everywhere online, and could not find a tutorial

My advice is stick with 38A if your more comfortable with it and enjoy it but I would still give 2.0 another try after all of the Beta's are done because it will have far more content then 38A. I am not saying 38A is bad or you should stop using it. I'm just suggesting you give 2.0 another try after the dev team has it ready for official release. Plus the person who was working on 38A I think abondoned it so don't expect any new updates unless I am wrong.FireLock48 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 6:50 pmThank you for telling me this but I'm just more comfortable with 38A right know plus I'm working on some episodes and I don't really feel like converting them but when I have the time I will give it another try and this time I'll put a little more 'backbone' into it!
