Re: Meet TheXTech: a full working cross-platform port of SMBX engine [1.3.6.6]

The stuff I don't like so far is the that when 1 player is selected and only one character can be used in a episode, it just blurs every other character and shows the options even though you can only pick one character. > 1 Player with blocked characters Are you thinking the disabled players should...

Re: [Poll] About adding new in-game objects into assets for TheXTech

Glad you are opening this discussion :good: In my opinion, we should follow an existing standard , and that standard should be SMBX2 . The reason why I think we should follow an existing standard is because since it's conception, TheXTech had 2 goals: 1. Preserve SMBX 2. Provide a learning environme...

Re: The PGE to Moondust rebranding: Logos Gallery

Normally I don't like Minimalistic Logos ( relevant video ), but I do think that in the case of Moondust it would be appropriate since it aims to be an Engine for all kinds of platformers with all kinds of personalities. Therefore, it makes sense to keep the Engine itself thematically neutral, which...

Re: Meet TheXTech: a full working cross-platform port of SMBX engine [1.3.6.6]

Could this fit Player Hammer SFX in SNES-esqued Sound Pack? (SFX from Mario Paint) Gonna ask 0lhi and others to review this... I have neither feelings in favor nor against it. I guess, it's an appropriate standard entry for sound.ini's sound-97, but player-use-own-hammer-sfx should be disabled by d...

Done! The Reshaped Talking Toad as well as the SMB2 Toad Updates are in the attached ZIP. I also included Mask-GIF conversions (made with PGE Maintainer) and their MD5 Checksums to confirm that the shapes are really identical. 48b2b504c5e515ce5d999e60ceada86c effect-130m.gif f0b78d36445b472507241953...

The only condition new Toad should match by the shape with the old effect-130 and toad-6 are identical, everything else has to be changed: 97b53f74d60293fa383cc5f47451f608 effect-130m.gif 97b53f74d60293fa383cc5f47451f608 ✓ 5ba06a1483d45d5eb7daa4bc72d8a550 player-4m.gif f832365b30a02638c637e30be390a...

TheXTech: Possible Changes to the Fire Toad and Ice Toad Sprites

TheXTech: Possible Changes to the Fire Toad and Ice Toad Sprites I'd like to discuss a minor, but irritating issue with the default Toad sprites. The Fire Toad is the normal Toad sprite with the red dots being recolored to blue. This has caused confusion for Mario Maker and NSMBU Players, as blue i...

Re: Meet TheXTech: a full working cross-platform port of SMBX engine [1.3.6.6]

For Player Hammer SFX, might can combine with Player Fireball & Enemy Hammer throw together? I have already told Wohlstand in private, but I'd also like to share my concerns here: I strongy advise against having Mario use enemy SFX in any way, shape or form. The Hammer Bros. sound gives a clear...

I have made a few Speedruns since then: Level Runs: Super Easy Road • A Short Level: With PowerUp • No PowerUp • Roulette Game Runs: SMB1 Remake: Any% + New Quest • Warpless • SMB3 Remake: Warpless If you are interested to make Runs on TheXTech, check out this Guide on Speedrun.com .

This update is something else! TheXTech has matured into a beautiful flower :flowers:

I can't wait to showcase the speedrunner mode! Tomorrow, 17:00 UTC+1 on my Twitch :)

EDIT: I won't be able to showcase it today sadly. ._.

Re: [Game] 'Adventures of Demo' - the A2XT spin-off

I did a Playthrough: Twitch 1 • Twitch 2 / PeerTube 1 • PeerTube 2 Very appealing visuals! Soundtrack was great, too, but the Episode's music could use a bit more variety. :whistle: The level design from The Invasion 1 has aged badly in some places. Air Raid in particular was something that did not ...

Re: Request: Different input for Purple Yoshi's ground pound?

Yeah, if the change can be made, it'd be good to make it optional so players can choose their preference.

That said, you can check out how it would affect you with TheXTech. It's really easy to change the input there by making two minor replacements in the source-code.

Re: Meet TheXTech: a full working cross-platform port of SMBX engine [1.3.6.6]

Or, I have a little idea of a compatibility mode like GZDoom does: for certain cases and for specific WAD files, it disables/enables certain bugs and features, required for the best experience of specific game. This sounds like the best solution to me. :yes: There may very well be other issues in t...

I encountered an issue regarding hub worlds. While it's a huge convenience in most episodes that the last level location is remembered, it breaks Mario & Luigi's Marathon:

It's good for complicated set-ups, but too bloated for a simple window recording. I tried out a few others and vokoscreen looks like the best for the job. It's almost as convenient as the in-game recorder, and it supports mkv.

Re: Meet TheXTech: a full working cross-platform port of SMBX engine [1.3.6.6]

Speaking about SMBX2, after making this fix, they had to provide the compatibility system to re-enable this bug again. Oh, that's interesting. I didn't expect something like this to be the case. btw, please use old LunaLua-SMBX for gameplay comparison: Isn't stable for me sadly. No version based on...
