WohlSoft Forums

My biggest hope for when this is done and released, is being able to easily customize WAY more than what was previously customizable, but with great ease. Like characters, how characters animate, how many frames there are for each. Being able to do more with other things as well like screen size an...

After some time you return on the forums, and I realize the excellent work of wolhstand and his team. really a great job. But I have a question, the engine how long it takes to produce it? :clapping: :clapping: How I see, I can finish it faster than 1 year, but life will show how much time I will h...

And it`s good for fixing small errors and issues. A couple more ideas spawned in my mind: 1. [General] More sections in one LVLX file. Pretty self-explanatory. Sometimes, 21 sections is not enough, when designing large-scale Metroidvania levels that are consisting from many small (even one-screen wi...

Actually two small things I just thought of: 1. What about being able to change the number of contained NPCs within a "Buried" object (SMB2 Grass). That way you could make it contain multiple coins for example like in SMA4. Just a thought, though it could be useful for other means as well...

In my way, this could be done by implementing an easy way to edit playable character abilities, like speed, jump height, interaction with certain items (Blocks, BGO`s, NPC`s) and other abilities, as well as modifying them in the fly, like in Metroidvainas. Speaking of Ideas: here are ones that spawn...

I wonder how much time you think you can try to get the engine done...

I am trying to guess, 8-9 years.

What does "rc" means, though?

RC means "Release Candidate" The version can turn into final stable version if no bugs discovered for a long while.

I think sizable door or pipe warps might be a bit pointless.

Giant pipes, boss doors, and other such stuff.

I could see how that would work, but I don't know how useful it would be, except for some sort of rapid deletion of blocks. It's definitely a creative idea though and it may serve a purpose in the future. :) I have already suggested Layer->Destroy(bool perform_effects) which destroys all blocks, BG...

In future planned things which will allow RPG-like games, but main difference of RPG-maker and PGE: - RPG-Maker - for top-scrolling games. All games like Zelda. - PGE - side-scrolling acting games. All games like Mario, Metroid, Megaman, Braid etc. To allow RPG-like free world, need: - global varia...

I have previously getting used to C & C++.

For DareDevil comet level, a script is much simplier: "daredevil.lua" [int]MOUNT_NONE = 0 [int]NPC_NONE = 0 function onLoad() player.powerup = SMALL player.mount = MOUNT_NONE player.reservePowerup = NPC_NONE end Another suggestion: onLoad() should run before first frame is drawn on screen.

Here is a couple of suggestions from me: 1. Infinite checkpoints per level. Pretty self explanatory. Being able to have only one checkpoint per level makes me want to rate all SMBX levels that are too long at most 2/10. 2. Solid-on-top slopes. Combine slopes and jump-trough platforms. For instance: ...

As for bucket fill feature, I have an idea to limit "flood" raduis at certain (settable in application settings) amount, usually 25-50 blocks away from click, or use section borders as limit to stop infinite "Flood Fill" and prevent crashing.

Ok, You think, that using any material, that is even remotely looking like copyrighted ones (down to last tile and sound effect) can instantly lead to massive takedown by copyright holders, like Nintendo? If it`s true, why things, like Mario FanGames Galaxy(hosts Mario fangames), SmwCentral (has Sup...

Do you remember Zelda Classic, a freeware engine for making and playing 2D Zelda - styled action-adventure games? This engine uses encrypting to prevent password-protected games ("quests") from being opened in editor, but not for playing as is. This is done to prevent players from "sp...

Wohlstand wrote:Full encryption, is: you can't even open file without password.

Using a relatively strong agorythm, like AES-128.
P.S. Which encrypting algorythm you plan to use for enciphering LVLP files?

Imagine, if Redigit, during original development of SMBX, implemented LVL file encrypting to prevent unauthorized level editing.
Sorry, if it`s offtopic.
