also, AUTOSCROLL would be a very cool addition, it would make levels actually feel like there REAL

maybe also ACTUAL screen effects that nintendo intended for there games, also pls add backgrounds I dont know how to upload my own and ANY of the ******* packs they wont work and my stupid retard of a device always just says: "oohhh you cant extract this file into your .lvlx file ohohohoohooooo" anyways, theres alot of missing, overlooked, or disregarded backgrounds or musics AND MY COMPUTER IS SO STUPID!!! anyway... cough...

oh whilst were talking about smb3 things that are missing, there are 4 cannons that have been overlooked: the square cannon which is intended to be placed IN the ship, the small cannon that shoots small circle bullets DIAGONALY, the small grey pipe cannon intended to be placed in FRONT of the ship, and the big pipe cannon also intended to be placed in FRONT of the ship.

smbx does have autoscroll built into the engine, but it's pretty wonky (iirc it only works in section 1 and has some other glitches). it does come with a built in library called "autoscroll.lua" which lets you fix these issues however.

as for cannons, this pack has most of what you've described. (there might be more up-to-date ones but nothing comes to mind right off the bat, maybe someone else can provide a better one)

and on the topic of using custom assets, there's a stickied thread when it comes to lua scripts in the lunalua subforum, and for graphics, you can check the demo levels and prepackaged episodes to see how they implement custom graphics. for custom screen effects and weather however, you might be out of luck, i don't think that many people are big on creating those, at least from what i have seen.

Firstly, you can have autoscrollers. They've been around for ages, and SMBX2 even has a more advanced Lua based implementation. Not sure how autoscroll makes levels more realistic though. If you want the screen effects, you will need to write a script to add them. There is no good reason for the developers to add more music since most people just use custom music anyway. Similarly, you can use custom graphics for the missing backgrounds.

Also, assets don't go in the lvlx file. SMBX's level format is actually a plain text document and it can literally be opened in Notepad. If you want custom assets, they go in the level's folder. Your computer isn't misbehaving at all.

but also, in SMB1 (the best style) the red elevators can do SO MUCH MORE than just go up in the REAL mario game, they can go left to right, up and down, and also, you know the ones that are attached by strings, and if you stand on one it goes down and the other goes up? yeah, those are missing to.

sorry, I just read your post... I didn't know that you could do that, and I have no idea how to do that in the first place... my computer just says "ooohhh word cant open that document" I dont know how...

these two statements are mutually exclusive. the two posts literally right above yours describe precisely that you aren't supposed to be opening the level file itself to insert custom assets.

smbx2 is, fundamentally, just a game engine with a very streamlined user interface. basic computer literacy (and some patience) is assumed should you want to realize it's full potential.

first time user guide has a section on how to add custom graphics
viewtopic.php?f=105&t=10507

after understanding that, the lunalua section's guide on npc packs will make more sense too, hopefully

oh, also, you know the cannon that hangs from the roof, and spins, and fires two cannon balls at the same time? thats also missing.

You might be in luck here, as Lusho's Cannon pack is going to be added to the basegame since it won its category in the Head-to-Head Contest. It contains the Rotating Quad Cannon.

Although what do you mean by "missing"? That implies that something should be in game but was mistakenly not added. So the question then becomes what do you think the developers mistakenly forgot to put in the game? To put it concisely, do you think that everything from All-stars and World should be added, since that's what SMBX is based on?

Unfortunately, adding all those NPCs would likely add a huge amount of bloat. While it would be cool for something like the Vanilla Contest, you can actually already get a large majority of the NPCs through the LunaLua section for making non-vanilla levels.
