SMBX 1.4.x Not being allowed here

Joey hates Chinese SMBX with a passion and would like to keep its existence to a bare minimum. There's a good chance that sooner than later we'll ban Chinese SMBX completely.

Works for me. We really won't need it nor want it soon anyway.

Speak for yourself, there's plenty people who like and use 1.4.

Also this is a pretty bad reason considering I've already released two episodes for 2.0 and it's still in beta.

I though this smbx vs mm was bad, but this whole 2.0 will take over and 1.4 will be banned is even worse.

I though this is a smbx forum also for smbx. Who even cares what version. And sry for not following the staff into don't use 1.4.

Sure 2.0 will/can do that but do we really need to hate on 1.4 so much?

OH boy looking at the votes, fills the staff with determination.

Tbf those were more like 1.3.0.2 episodes since it didn't use any of 2.0's specific features (i.e. Starman, new playables etc.)

Like honestly I don't get why people are so eager on shittalking 1.4, and while I'm not gonna use it and am pretty indifferent about it, I feel like it should at least be allowed as a thread in the Video Game subforum, because even if you don't consider it an actual part of SMBX (which I don't really do either), it's still a video game.

They used lua specific to 2.0.

They did not. The only thing 2.0 can do which 1.3.0.2 can't is the launcher. And the custom launcher in Redemption is just a bonus.

I think a new topic for 1.4 will be a amazing idea. I don't understand why it is disliked. As with 1.4.2 a lot of problems were fixed and it will have FULL compability with PGE, so I dont understand what is the problem. The 1.4 forum could just be a placeholder.

We're only restricted to post 1.4.x levels in the "Casual Levels" subforum. Anything else than that is not allowed in here.

First of all, I'd like to apologize for the misinformation spread throughout this topic. I do not "hate" the Chinese build of SMBX, it is not "banned", and you guys deserve an explanation. However, this topic will be closed and I want any further questions to be sent to me via PM.

I think the general question in this thread is "why is SMBX '1.4.x' not allowed/supported/whatever". Up until recently, that build had certain issues (such as requiring changing machine language to Chinese) and by saying it wasn't "supported" I literally meant "we don't offer help and support for it". It doesn't mean "I hate it" or "it sucks", it means that having multiple versions of SMBX floating around is not a good thing and I can't just go off and say "yeah lol 1.4.1 is here lemme update the download link for SMBX". Not once did I say "you're not allowed to download this build from somewhere else and try it out" or "this build is trash". It's easier for me to just say "Wohlstand is working on this program and hopefully some features can be later absorbed into SMBX 2.0" than "let me take the time to verify this version and see if it's actually worth putting up to begin with", which I knew it wasn't right off the bat if it required you to change your computer's language. This is somewhat similar to what happened earlier with LunaLua - I never said "this is bad, don't use it", it was more of a matter of me not being able to just take what's presented to me and put it in front of the audience of 10000+ people without a second thought. The story with LunaLua is obviously different now despite the fact that there hasn't yet been a version released that includes it, but that's also because I didn't want to release anything when I knew of SMBX 2.0's development.

I hope this explains things better. Again, let me know if you have any questions.
