SMB1 Physics

[thedarkcave215]

Is there a way to recreate SMB1's running & jumping physics? In that game, Mario's jump height is short, but he stays in the air for longer, and he seems to stop a lot faster.

A combination of playerphysicspatch and modification of Defines.player_runspeed and Defines.player_walkspeed and Defines.player_grav (acceleration) and Defines.gravity (terminal velocity) might get you there.

Is there a way that I can do that episode-specific?

Uhh, what do you mean?, like that is something that happens episode specific, I don't see how some code would leak to other episodes (not counting having to modify the scripts folder which is a really bad idea)

As CJ said, all code you write is level or episode specific. Which one it is depends on where you put your luna.lua that runs the code (episode folder or level folder). The defines values for example are just global physics modifiers, which reset on reload and thus are best set in onStart:

The playerphysicspatch library fills a similar niche.

My worry was that I tried to set Mario & Luigi's costumes to SMW-MARIO and SMW-LUIGI but that code carried over to every episode in my worlds folder, even though I had it placed in one particular episode folder.
