Blocks from 1.3 currently cannot have their animation settings changed via configs.

Yep, a corrupt file in the launcher folder can produce a very similar (but not quite identical) error, which is why I brought it up as it's easy to make that mistake. Glad it's sorted out now, though!

No, simply because this error literally only occurs because of a corrupt progress.json file. That "parse error" it mentions is loading the progress.json file. From within progress.lua, all it's doing is loading that file and then trying to decode it. Now, the real question is more "how did the file ...

Come to think of it, what actually is the point of game overs in smbx? When the game is saved after beating every level, game overs are just a longer, more annoying, death animation. The only thing they've ever done is trash checkpoint progress in a level. Honestly, I tend to prefer disabling lives...

what about for Mario Challenge? Or, is that going bye-bye too? Mario Challenge never used SMBX credits anyway, it just has two results screens. Terry Pratchett? Hmmm...have to say, not familiar. Name sounds familiar, vaguely. I highly recommend reading some of his work. It's absolutely excellent co...

There might also be one in your "data" folder. Delete that too, if there is.

Go to your episode folder and find a file named "progress.json". Delete that file, it's been corrupted somehow.

I also think that the end quote in the credits should be replaced with Ezekiel 23:20 You ARE aware that a lot of the users of SMBX are minors right? That's not going to happen. Personally, I wanted it replaced with a Terry Pratchett quote, at least for default episodes, but as Enjl said, we're addi...

That doesn't take any scripting, just a config file named "npc-#.txt". The tutorial you linked even explains how to do it.

The title screen will be gone entirely. It's effectively totally obsolete as it is.

The events system is very limited, and hasn't really been changed since SMBX 1.3. That's not the editor's fault, it's just how Redigit made events work. Generally if you want to do anything complex, you're looking at some basic scripting. That said, you CAN do a lot with layers and events. For examp...

This looks like a broken install of SMBX. Have you modified anything within your SMBX "data" folder?

If it helps, another shortcut you can use for the same thing is to hit Tab during a play session to open the console, and type:
Those two commands will wipe the local saved data.

Then your data isn't saved. Simple as that. In the editor, Test > LunaTester > Terminate Running Process, will close the current testing session and clear any unsaved data. If it still doesn't work after that then you didn't look hard enough because that file must exist if starcoins are loading data...

I mistyped. It's save0-ext.dat . Only one dash. That's probably thrown off your search. In future, you can just start typing directly into the file explorer to navigate to the first file that matches what you just typed - if you know which particular folder something is in, there's no reason to do a...

Where would that file be located? I just did a folder search for that name in the entire SMBX2 Beta 4 Patch 3 folder & nothing came up.

It'll be in your episode folder.

Delete save-0-ext.dat.

I do also want to note that you don't need .ini files for custom background objects - you're better off using .png and .txt files, rather than .gif and .ini. And you only need the .txt file if there's a specific configuration you want to change.

It's functionally the same - you'd just have a special window for it instead of a text editor, but clicking a box isn't really any easier. And if you're making your own blocks, you're going to have to be programming anyway, so it's not really much of an issue.

The 0th save file is the one used by the editor. I don't know what else to tell you - this error is caused by that file not being formatted correctly.
