And would that go for all the Lua scripts made for ANY of the betas?

"Not everything will be compatible" is not the same as "everything will break always". Breaking changes are always denoted with a yellow text on the changelogs. Expect that level of breaking until after we're out of beta.

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

Thank you Enjl.

But I didn’t understand what that meant.

For a better understanding: I asked, because I would like to know if levels and episodes that have been created so far with SMBX 2 are compatible with the upcoming (full) major version of it.

[Enjl]

It's likely that many will, but there is no guarantee. old version downloads will always remain available though so there'll be ways to play those that won't end up being made compatible, if they broke

[ben]

Ok. Thank you Enjl.

IIRC Multiplayer doesn't even work, and all of the new characters except Wario and Uncle Broadsword are due to be rewritten from scratch, with Ninja Bomberman and Ultimate Rinka being replaced entirely.

Incidentally, there's still enough block IDs left for three new characters instead of two (if no one claims 698-700. Would also be best to move block 697 to 657 unless you're adding a semisolid player passthrough, though that would remove the third player slot)
