Super Mario Bros. X Forums

Oof, so i am not allowed to make a level around them now? Well damn, i will be waiting for another cool npc to show up, maybe something cool will be released that can spark my interest again at designing a level for this collab.

I mean you're still allowed to make a level with them, I'd just personally recommend not designing your entire level around them.

quick question: should we include stars in our levels or not?

No stars at all please!

A Note on powerups:

Mounts will be handled like in the NSMB series, you will not be able to carry boots or yoshies outside of the level they're given to you in.
Tier 3 power-ups (Tanooki and Hammer) will be transformed into tier 2 variants (Tanooki into leaf, Hammer into fire flower)

I like this change, it prevents other levels from being broken and designing stuff around tanooki/hammer is a bit hard imo.
But couldn't you use the SMW solution to this by having a short cutscenes with signs showing which stuff are not allowed in the level?

DEVKIT OPTIMIZATION UPDATE HAS BEEN RELEASED

It also includes a sizable which uses the spawnzones.lua library so that you don't have to replace anything!

Aren't you going to update the main post my adding a screenshot of this sizable or is this not needed?

I'm still working on everything give me a bit, also to answer your first question.

Technically you can add the filter signs to your level, nothing's stopping you, but the filters are programmed through lua, and I don't want everyone to have to have a tier 3 filter and mount filter so I decided to just keep them level-contained

We have a subforum now!

Chill, I need to finish my MAGLX3 entry first!
This project seems awesome.

Can we come up with a unified way of distributing music with our levels? Some possible ideas:

Placement:
-Music in level folder
-Music in "music" folder next to the level folder (my preference)
-Music in Episode Folder

Name:
Game - Title.ogg (my preference)
Title - Game.ogg
somerandombullshit.ogg

Imo we should go the 'contest submission' format;
A zip/rar file with:

-graphics folder
-level file
-music

And the music should be fully credited in the filename like, "super mario bros - overworld.mp3/ogg"

MAGLX3 puts the music inside the level folder to keep the episode folder uncluttered, and in 2k1x I keep all my music contained in a "music" folder for easy access and cataloguing while keeping the episode folder uncluttered. I think dunking them in the episode folder is the worst choice due to how many music files will be littered about. My submissions so far follow the MAGLX3 structure.

Ahh, ok yeah, that makes sense, that's better

well frankly, I'm gonna say that you should probably include the origin of the song in the filename, but I'm not gonna be too picky about it

I have a question, how do i install the dev kit? I want to review the SLAM levels but idk how to add the dev kit.

You don't install it, it's just a buncha files you drop into a dedicated SLAM folder so when you run SLAM-made levels in said folder it will automatically run the lua codes present in the devkit

Oh boy, this is really intriguing! Sure I'll join it when I'm done with my MaGLX3 entry. Also is there a deadline to submit a SLAM level?

There isn't a deadline
