How do I install png files into SMBX 2.0

Postby TubbyAlert » Wed Aug 22, 2018 12:02 am

Hey, I found this graphics pack that is really cool, but it has png files for most of the things in it, like the characters. How do I install png files into the game from a graphics pack?

Are you following common practices in using custom graphics?

When I install most graphic packs, I replace the main graphics, because for things like chacters or npcs, I like having them as the main sprites. Is there any better way to install them in smbx2.

No , you'd just do the same as with your old smbx version. (but if u want to make a level using a gfx pack, u need to make a folder with a name, enter SMBX2 and save the game in that folder, making sure the save (for example .lvl) file is exactly the same name as the folder. Creat another folder and name it exactly like the folder name where you're in. Then put the gfx in the folder (not the one which includes the save (for example .lvl) file and the folder with the same name) and, open the SMBX2 editor, then l, when you want to build your level, you can change the filter to custom, and you see only the custom gfx that is not in the game. Btw hope this helps :D)

Yeah uh... Never do this. All that does is basically break any form of guaranteed compatibility with any episode you play.
