We also had our annual exams cancelled this year, being replaced with teacher-managed assessments for grades 6 to 9.

Is there an option to disable this when going through pipes? The transition between points is a bit jarring.

The script doesn't have that option yet.

New update.

Changelog:
1. Some visual changes.
2. The player will now get coins when hitting NPCs if the Starman powerup is active.

VB6 Error Code 52 means "Bad file name or number".

Did you download the patch BTW?

I ended up adding a patch for a major bug. Download it again.

So, assuming the workaround works, there's also a new update.
Changelog:
1. Gold Mario/Peach/Toad/Wario/Silver Luigi will turn back to their fire forms after emitting burst particles.
2. Silver Luigi now emits silver particles.
3. Gold Flower now has shiny particle effects.

I ended up adding a workaround for the issue. The update should be supposed to work now.

I pushed another update, which should be supposed to fix the problem. I still can't happen to reproduce the bug in any way, so please show a GIF of the bug in action, otherwise I cannot fix it at all.

The explosions should not hurt the player, although it wasn't designed for 2P in mind.

Interesting fact: the modNPC.bas file contains a comment sentence with a swear word, warning people viewing the Sub method that it is the one of the largest sub methods.

If I read correctly, the devs aren't planning for Beta 5, they're instead planning for a full release.

By the way, I found the proper fix for the Koopa clown car disappearing when Bowser attempts to enter into it. In bowser.lua: player:mem(0x108,FIELD_WORD,0); should be changed to: if player:mem(0x108,FIELD_WORD) ~= 2 then player:mem(0x108,FIELD_WORD,0); end (I actually had some laughs when encounter...

Suggestion, add an option for fade to black on warp transitions as opposed to the cross fade.

That's more difficult to do, so I am sticking with the crossfade effect for now.

Could be useful for finally fixing the buggy powerup array, I guess?

I would not count on it, since any bugfixes to it is going to be useless at this point in SMBX2 development.

Yeah, this source code is pretty much useless at this point, apart from being used as a reference for SMBX2 and maybe allowing PGE Engine to be developed accurately. One question remains though, are there going to be any plans to switch to another engine after SMBX2 has been released? I don't really...

Would this be useful for rewriting the source code in C++, BTW?
