SMBX2 PAL Release - Feedback, Questions and Bugs here!

[Enjl]

Hello everyone!

FOREWORD
Alongside the much anticipated MAGLX3 contest, we are proud to announce the release of a new SMBX2 build.
DISREGARD THAT, HERE'S AN UPDATE.

This build is a preview build of Beta 4, in a sense. This means that there are still a lot of things we want to fix for Beta 4, and a few features are still in an early state and were omitted from this release intentionally. Our top priority over the past months has been to get the features that were nearly ready into a state where we are comfortable sharing them with you, manifesting in the release of this build.

COMPATIBILITY NOTICE
As MAGLX3's episode will be released for the Beta 4 version, it's important to keep in mind (if you're participating) that you should avoid designing around bugs and errors, if you do come across them. Please, if you find any, report them in this thread. We will frequently check it in order to improve the game further.
You are, of course, also free to use this version outside of the MAGLX3 contest. You can design levels and episodes using this build, but due to the aforementioned status of this build as a preview build, we recommend you withhold your episode releases until SMBX2 Beta 4 is properly released. I'm looking forward to what you come up with!

DOWNLOAD
Now, without further ado, the download link can be found at the top of our website:
http://codehaus.wohlsoft.ru/downloads.html

INSTALLATION
The installer is directly created from a ZIP archive of our repository and will deploy the project into the directory you specify. The package will be installed to “$TARGETDIR/SMBX2”, but you’re free to change the name of the folder afterwards.

HANDBOOK
In order to help everyone get started, I have composed an extensive handbook for this release, detailing various new and noteworthy features. The handbook can be found on the link below:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uOd ... sp=sharing

LUA TUTORIALS
In addition to the brief documentation in the handbook which holds us over until we can get out full documentation set up for SMBX2 Beta 4, I have created a new tutorial series for those interested. A playlist can be found at the following link:

CHANGELOG
I have also published a brief changelog for this version on our blog. Check it out:

On behalf of the entire development team, I wish all of you a great time with this version, and a fun MAGLX3 contest!

In the Mario Challenge, pressing Z to continue after pausing results in the player jumping. This caused me to get hit. Shouldn't you be able to unpause by pressing "enter"?

[Hoeloe]

You can unpause by pressing Esc again I believe.

So apparently all monitors but invincibility one doesn't work, it's glitch

That is why they're not available in the editor.

Well this is weird.

I have to say the improved Lunatester is by far the best thing for this version.

[MmmMario]

I really love how it says 'sorry for the inconvenience' when this is probably the best thing to happen all month.

Code: Select all

SavaData[Level.filename()] = SavaData[Level.filename()] or {}

tfw you try to make a level and you get a debug window after writing just one line of code XD

SavaData? It's SaveData!

Hello, quick bug report: Snailicorns animation looks weird in editor when facing right.

[FirestarPlays]

Certain custom graphics don't work. Is it because of the "E" file? Do I actually have to cancel my project b/c of a new version?!

Edit: Looks like it is just an editor bug. The graphics look normal in game.

[Inferno_Guy]

So custom graphics wont load won't load in any of the dang levels, how can I fix this? I hope I get a reply asap because I'm eager to make levels on here.

I'm having the same problem. I've tried converting the graphics to png, reinstalling SMBX2, and turning the .lvl files into .lvlx files, but nothing seems to fix this bug. If someone could help solve this problem, that would be very helpful.

It works for me, did you install SMBX to the desktop or C: Drive?

[ShadowStarX]

Spoiler: show

Is this supposed to work like this?

[ultralazer_gaming]

I downloaded it, the amount of NPCs are nice, but standalone levels are listed as episodes in the launcher for some reason.

Added in 14 minutes 42 seconds:
I also like the changes in the Bowser Statue and Semisolids, even though old levels will not play exactly the same.

[1230m 1]

I found two bugs.
1. The flicker effect during invincibility disappears a second or two later than the music
2. Arrow Lift Platform is only available in "!" option. Parameters Left, Up, Right can not be obtained in any way.

[ultralazer_gaming]

Do we finally have background-x.txt files?

[FireyPaperMario]

I recently downloaded this new update of SMBX2.0, and my anti-virus said that it looks very suspicious.... Should I be worried?

P.S. I just allow the installer to open, and got no sign of a virus
