All you have to do to have a working starman is type: (and copy the NPC graphics into your level folder)

Code: Select all

local starman = API.load("starman")

But in the next Beta release of SMBX 2.0, starman specifically is going to be its own NPC that you can place from inside the PGE editor, without needing to write any lua code at all.

Quite a few scripts have been packaged in handy lua files, which you can load with a single line of code (see above).

Pretty close to what I was referring to. Thanks.

Some of the modules (especially ones for custom NPCs) only require pasting a single line into a file.
Engines have their limits. You can't just add and add without ever reaching a top that you have to modify.

What? Where did I say anything to the contrary?

Isn't there currently an effort to run SMBX in Platform Game Engine? Hopefully that will make things more flexible, but if everyone puts all their effort into 1.4.2 (which will likely still be incompatible due to different physics) it could keep the base split long-term.

FINNALLY managed to get 2.0 on Windows 10. Chrome's your best friend if you are experiencing problems with Mega.nz on Edge or Firefox.

Well, you said "Some of the modules require pasting a single line into a file". You don't know all the problems a bit more of code can cause.

Is Redigit still collaborating on this project?

I don't think he ever really was. He was suggesting handing off the source code at one point, but I haven't heard from him personally or from others who were in contact with him since about a week after we were discussing that

Redigit's like a damn ghost, we don't even hear about Terraria Otherworld.

Today I have tried to start "SMBX 2.0 Open Beta".

After the click on "Play Episode" and on "Launch Legacy Editor" appeared the following error message:

"Using GDI renderer, so some advanced LunaDLL effects may not be present in some levels. Could not use OpenGL Renderer because: Missing EXT_blend_minmax"

I use Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit.

Can someone help me please?

Just click OK and you'll be fine most of the time. You won't be able to use some cool graphics effects because your graphics card can't support it

If I click "OK", the game nevertheless does not start.

He lived only 1 week in this place. He came here only to create false hope.

He will be back when Joey made the Announcement

But we don't need him actually.

Joey said he didn't hear from Redigit since the day he joined here. Don't count on any announcements.

That's the joke it will never happen therefore he will never come back.

You all worry too much about all of this Redigit/SMBX 2.0 thing. If we happen to have SMBX 2.0 all the better, but for now we already have two semi-functional engines, which are, PGE and SMBX 2.0 Beta + SMBX with LunaLua for testing. Just give Horikawa some time ok, the creation of an engine is by all means NOT natural, even less when you consider the limitations SMBX presents. And of course there's what we all call as real life, so please try to be a bit patient here. As for the whole Redigit, the same applies here. If we happen to get Redigit to join, which by the way I highly doubt, all the better, but again, for now, we already have two semi-functional engines.

So again, just be patient.
