On the other side of the joke spectrum there's two SMW hacks: Mario's Mystery Meat, which has issues (graphical effects not working on real hardware and liquid conflicts in the spaghetti level being the most notable) but is very well executed; and Super Diagonal Mario 2, which is quite well done bec...

Relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FO8P3aAN0M I'll admit, aside from graphical glitches, the first 25-30 seconds of that level is fine. Then it devolves into spam... The problem with most SMBX Joke levels is that, that the creator often thinks they are funny and all when they actually are n...

Apparently XM files also work. I have a few from a Jazz Jackrabbit site from ages ago.

Unlocking characters sounds cool, I don't know if that could be done with LUA right now... The changing what an NPC spawns can be done with custom NPCs, like for example you can make level-specific code for the Elite Koopas to throw exploding crates instead of fireballs, or have them throw bombs, be...

No offense but I'd say the game is already pretty ample. What is actually planned for the character rehaul before the full release? - Less niche/janky abilities - 2-player support between any 2 characters, or 2 of the same kind - larger reworks of the "weakest links" to improve versatility and usab...

The demo levels have a LUA script that changes you to the correct character on loading the level, so that would work in place of just having character blocks, although I'm not sure what name you'd use to switch to Peach (Or Rinka, since that character has no demo level, but is slated for replacement...

"mushroom in lava crashes game". ...How did something like that even slip by? How does that even work? Maybe remove the .md file with the macOS tutorial. Wine no longer works as of macOS 10.15 Catalina because Apple decided to drop support for 32-bit, which I am kind of okay with, because we need t...

Flash is dead. It's ending any and all support after this year, Chrome doesn't run it at all, and Fallout Equestria: Remains was the last thing released for it AFAIK.

I don't have 1.4.5, I asked because I found out that that feature was what was causing the crash on a specific level one of the SMBX2 dev team complained about because it didn't work on anything he had. I didn't have 1.4.5 and after someone told me which version was right I lost interest. I used to...

yes. go into the events tab, should be obvious from there. I don't have 1.4.5, I asked because I found out that that feature was what was causing the crash on a specific level one of the SMBX2 dev team complained about because it didn't work on anything he had. Oh. Makes sense. Namely this level

Does 1.4.5 have a "spawn NPC" event action? yes. go into the events tab, should be obvious from there. I don't have 1.4.5, I asked because I found out that that feature was what was causing the crash on a specific level one of the SMBX2 dev team complained about because it didn't work on anything h...

Does 1.4.5 have a "spawn NPC" event action?

Try designating an intro level, and exit via a warp that sets the destination on the world map.

Two further things are broken: -The check for the music.ini file causes an error on startup. The section is "Get music paths for vanilla music" and the line it points to is: vanillaMusicPaths[w._header] = v.. "\\".. w.file I've had to comment out the entire thing there to stop the error appearing, b...

For the incomplete NPCs, Blerts seem to work fine apart from a graphical glitch, though Goldblerts just reproduce forever.

For the lava layers, if we use Source Engine terms, those layers would be brushes.

Dry Bones Shell shouldn't be too hard, just base it on the skull raft, but swimming through lava is probably way too much work.

So apparently it's out now, someone made a level in it,

Out of curiosity, what are the benefits of 1.4.5 over 1.4.4? Does it add any new features?

I wasn't aware that was a feature. I mean, it makes sense, but I thought you'd just have to do it all manually. How are they made per-episode?

It outright crashes PGE with "Aborted! [SIGABRT]" citing that the filenames for the PGE libraries (I think) are invalid. Opening the file in Notepad shows that the file is in the 1.4.4 format but I can load Super Caleb Bros and Endless Maze levels (which I downloaded specifically to test this) in PG...
