SMBX2 BETA 4 Release - Feedback and Suggestions here!

[Wiimeiser]

That's the one I was using. I think. This is the code I'm using:

Code: Select all

local autoscroll = require("autoscroll")

function onEvent(eventname)
	if eventname == "StartScroll" then
		autoscroll.scrollRight(0)
	end
end

EDIT: I think I have an inkling of what I did wrong here, though I might be wrong there too.

EDIT2: Yeah, changing it to autoscroll.scrollRight(1) fixed the issue.

Also, would it be possible for swimming to work how it did in SMW where holding up makes you go up fast, and holding down keeps you in place?

Add harmful water that works like the original water but slowly damages the player, update the semisolid slopes (slope blocks configured with "semisolid=true") because I want that slopes from Super Mario World and more bosses from SMB3 and SMW.

Can you be more specific please?

I found a bug while I tested a level.
The collectible triggers are at each beam for trigger "layer events" and each beam has different collectible triggers.
In the first image, I placed a "layer1" (torpedo ted generator in Left direction).

In the second image, I placed a "layer2" (torpedo ted generator in Right direction).

Toad was walking from left to right, so he first triggered the collectibles that trigger the event for "layer1", and then, you know waht happened. But in the third image, in that place with a arrow is Toad, and you can see that the "layer2" was replaced by "layer1".

I'm trying to be as specific, for the devs can fix this thing if it doesn't have a sollution. And sorry for the bad grammar. I'm using translater and my low knowledge of english. Also the torpedo teds can pass through the player filters.

Also the torpedo teds can pass through the player filters.

this is intended behavior. torpedo teds do not collide with any blocks, just like in the original super mario world.

I thought it was some bug without fixing. In ATWE exists a custom block that destroys the torpedo teds; and I thought it was just a graphic replacement.

If only NPCs could be made sizable, then trigger zones wouldn't need many duplicates.

(If the trigger is supposed to be based on screen position rather than character position, setting the event to run on activation works just fine in my experience)

Two things I encountered:

You can set a Star Coin to be a hidden item (SMW) but even if the id is set, the game treats it as id = 0 with the hud not displaying the Star Coin counter. If you set a Power Star to be a hidden item, it flies off.

You can set a Hammer Bro not to face to the player (followplayer = false) (will always face the default direction it is set) in a custom NPC config. However, the first Hammer Bro with such properties every Hammer Bros that isn't loaded in the section you start, then loaded by walking towards their spawn location, will always faces left (and not faces right when the player walk passes it) despite it being set to face right. Moreover, upon despawning that Hammer Bro (by moving far to the right then backtrack), it resets and faces to the right.

1. the error is probably caused caused by the fact that you are missing the necessary visual c++ redistributable package. if i recall correctly, the 2015 version should work with smbx2.

2. in the first place, there's no reason to use the pal version anymore, there's the newer beta 4.

Thx for the help but Beta 4 on my computer contains virus, that's why I use Pal, and also, the link is really working? Anyways I'll try, and again thx! (:

Beta 4 does not contain viruses. If you get a virus warning, as long as you downloaded it from codehaus.moe it's a false positive and the warning can be safely ignored. Also, a lot of things made in Beta 4 won't work in PAL and vice versa. If it truly was a virus, we all would have noticed already.

[KnownStranger]

Boom Boom and Larry Koopa are "nerfed" in Super Mario Bros X. In the original game Boom Boom becomes more aggresive every time Mario stomps his head. And Larry would be better than before if he jumps in his shell phase (like in the original game).

Ok I'll try using beta 4 one last time! thx

I'm so glad after all these years later SMBx still gets the updates and usage it very much got back in the early days. I do apologize if bumping is still frowned upon here, but this is a pinned thread so I feel like there's an exception.

SMBx Beta 4 so far has been phenomenal and I think the devs deserve some credit.

If suggestions are welcomed here then I'd say maybe small quality updates for already existing NPCs. I see that has already happened for things like Koopa shells and bullet bill cannons. I'd say go even a step higher in that path if possible.

Things like the option to change what Hammer Brothers throw (like in SMBx 1.4). Or the ability to change the directions for piranha plants rather than have separate entities for each direction.

World maps could use some more features too. Curvy and diagonal paths or additional level types. I see hammer brothers and Nabbit go unused in SMBx's files so heck it looks like things in that department are already planned.

Regardless of what updates or additions happen, the dev team is doing A+ effort!

[Teemster2]

For those of you wanting updates you can go to the Google spread sheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... edit#gid=0

Please keep in mind the development team is but a hand full of people with busy lives and alot of work to do for 2.0 so progress will be slow. Patience is a virtue.

I would like to ask a question, but the answer will probably be "yes".  

Is everything I create with the level- and world editor in SMBX 2 in the beta phase of this software compatible with the upcoming (full) major version of SMBX 2?

[Emral]

no. the beta label signifies potential compatibility breaks. if we were to retain compatibility indefinitely, the new characters and multiplayer would remain forever broken.
