SMBX2 PAL Release - Feedback, Questions and Bugs here!

[computerfan0]

After getting the game going again, I got this error when trying to get a Baby Yoshi to eat a SMB3 piranha plant.

player:render redraws the player. Take a look at classexpander.lua to see how it works. On top of redrawing the player, of course, you need to set the player's animation frame (offset 0x114) to -50 * player.direction so that he becomes invisible as far as the game's render loop is concerned.

Note that you'll need to set the player's animation frame after redrawing them. And normally, you can use player:setFrame(-50, true) to do it, rather than messing with memory offsets, but this will probably cause a one frame lag in this case.

While this makes the player invisible, I'm trying to make it so BGOs are layered in front of the player without using foreground sprites. As if the player is behind them.

Please read what we said carefully. We did not just tell you to set the player's animation frame, but to also use player:render{priority = -86} to redraw the player further back in the scene.

Oh! Sorry, I should've payed more attention >w<
Thank you.

There is a bug in the Mario Challenge where, if the SMBX app is not in focus, it will still respond to keypresses when paused. For example, if the window is minimized and you were to tap down and then Z while using a different app, it would respond to those and possibly kill your run if you had rerolls disabled.

EDIT: There is a workaround where you can suspend the process to prevent this, but this is honestly really hacky and not an ideal solution.

It Was A Glitch For Me Too

Paddlewheels break "layer is empty" events triggered by generators. If you have a generator that runs an event when the layer is empty, and you have a paddlewheel anywhere in your level, the event won't trigger unless the NPC from the generator is killed while it's being spawned.

Edit: Didn't realize you're supposed to use the death event for that. In any case the paddlewheel platforms vanish if you hide the spawned npc layer and the links connect to incorrect locations.

absolutely NO bugs so far reported on my laptop
say, this version is BUG-FREE yaayy

How would I synchronize the animations of NPCs (i.e. Coins) to a global timer, instead of order loaded. The SMB1 coins had synchronized animations in the original game, so I want to replicate that.

I guess you can make them have the despawn timer set to 180, so that they have their frames change off-screen as well.

how do i expand level borders (for example when you want to expand right 3 blocks)

Shield monitors are frickin' broken

Reading comprehension 0

The people who use new piranha plants, blerts, boohemoth, filthcoating, tantrunt or DKC barrels have a similar level of reading comprehension.

Unfinished entities will be outright removed in future releases and only appear in a release once properly completed.

Calm down. No need to be amped up when no one answers it.

Anyway, you can go to the Section Settings, with the gear icon, located between Level Items Browser and Warps and Doors. On the top, there is a part that mentions the current section, and a button next to it with "Resize Section". And there you go, resizing it is like what you did to resizing sizables.

Probably as intended as Yoshi Island's Fuzzy with id 420.
