It is called Multiplug.
Is that something you used in dev?

*posts pic of a butt plug and gets banned*

But uh, idk anything about Multiplug or whatever. Again, it might be the installer. The source code is available, so nothing malicious that I would ever try to do wouldn't get very far anyway...

I'm excited to check out your new release. (And maybe play with the code a bit if you release it). If you need any help I'm sure I could be of some assistance. ;)

Delete your anitivirus and never use it. Instead of disable your Adobe Flash (make it working in "by request" mode)! and you will have TRUE virus protection

Or just add it to the whitelist because your AV sees VSMBX as a unknown program.

agreed. or just get rid of flash entirely, start using Chrome because Chrome offers its own Flash player replacement that works really well.

antiviruses are a waste of money and resources. antiviruses do nothing but suck up resources, use some common sense on the internet when installing things and you won't need an antivirus.

....Yeah true enough. (Even though Chrome uses up a lot of resources too, same with Firefox, so I don't use em.)

Antiviruses are only useful for blokes like me who don't have Common Sense (or commonly use Flash).

I was going to ask Luigifan to help beta test again, but you're more than welcome to do so as well if you want.

The code will be released this time, since everything should be properly implemented in the next update unlike the last one with fragments of an unused NPC and powerup system. :p

Oh, can I beta test too? I could try new features that you added to the beta test version of vsmbx and report for bugs in this version.

Nah. Beta testing isn't getting to play before everyone else and running into problems as you do so, you have to look for problems and I'd prefer my testers have some insight on general ways to fix them.

Just finished reading the entire thread, and I have to say this is really appealing :D Will the collision events be based on sprite pixel interaction? (ex.: Enemy sprite touches any part of Mario's sprite except feet and hurts him)
And will there be an option to leave the stage through the pause menu after beating it once? I really don't like how it can't be done in the original SMBX :I

No. It will be based on hitboxes like SMBX is (and most other games). The hitboxes can be set to not hurt Mario if an NPC touches his feet, if you're wondering.

Most likely, yes. This won't happen until world maps are implemented though.

Welcome to the forum by the way. o/

You're welcome~
In that case, will the hitboxes be resizable for new characters? Just putting graphics and masks didn't seem to work for reskins in the original SMBX. I also loved the quick-exit feature in SMW; there are a few episodes on here with something similar, but if you pick the level by accident, you have to go halfway through a level just to leave it.
And thanks for the welcome :D

Ghosthawk, if I may ask, how far is this project along?
Like, in % complete.

Editor is mostly done.
Gameplay is in early development.
World map hasn't been started.
Advanced features like moving layers and layers haven't been started.
Level Settings is still pretty much not implemented.

So I guess a bit more than 20% of the way to completion?

point of completion i guess to whenever he decides he's ready to release a stable build.
