Re: Meet TheXTech: a full working cross-platform port of SMBX engine [1.3.6]

After noticing a visual bug in Yoshi's Archipelago 's Mirage Manor , I learned that the Vanilla Engine makes sprites half-transparent when their m.gif is replaced by a White 1x1 Pixel. This is not taken into consideration by SMBX2, TheXTech and GIFs2PNG, which leads to the following result: MirageMa...

Any items out of SMBX64 max type automatically turning into item-1 to prevent possible crashes. (SMBX 1.3 will just crash). NPC-400 is a 108+ out of range of SMBX64. "SMBX64Ex" means not adding more item types, but extending functionality of existing without of compatibility breackage. I ...

Re: Meet TheXTech: a full working cross-platform port of SMBX engine [1.3.6]

I made a test level to compare how checkpoints behave and learned that SMBX2 has three separate types: npc-192, the midway gate from 1.3 which can only be included once. npc-400, reusable midway gates whose activation will be tracked. npc-430, reusable checkpoint flags that can be re-activated.

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

In TheXTech's thread, I brought up the suggestion to change the Purple Yoshi's ground pound input from "Down" to "Alt Run" in order to prevent it from being triggered accidentally. If it's possible to bring this change to 2.0 as well, I'd like to request it. This would instantly ...

[Linux] Is it normal that some levels take over 15 seconds to load?

On a SSD, loading the Zelda Demo Stage takes 7 seconds, and loading Moor 1 from Super Mario Enigmatic 2 takes 16 seconds: https://streamable.com/b82fiz In the Playthrough by Eclipsed, Moor 1 takes only 5 seconds to load, so I wonder whether I can do something about this.

Re: Meet TheXTech: a full working cross-platform port of SMBX engine [1.3.6]

In code there are "axis" and "hat", but some joysticks can treat d-pad as buttons, that makes odd... I think, I'll need to add the ability to set multiple keys for a single action to allow you use both "axis" and "hat" If it's any help, here's how my Controll...

Re: Meet TheXTech: a full working cross-platform port of SMBX engine [1.3.6]

So, I'll just backport PGE Engine's joystick module and I'll allow to set up arrow keys also. I checked 1.3.2.1 and the Arrow keys work! But sadly, it appears I now have to choose between Analog and D-Pad. I went back to PGE and it's the case there, too. Can you add second input options so that bot...

Oh, I see. Can you recommend any convenient sites that are good for you? I like Streamable because it doesn't require an account.

Re: Meet TheXTech: a full working cross-platform port of SMBX engine [1.3.6]

Another request: When the game window loses focus, the game freezes until the focus is back. This causes 2 disadvantages: 1. During grindy moments, such as doing a 1Up-Trick, it forces me to keep my eyes on the screen when I could rather use the time to check my E-Mails or social media. 2. For Twitc...

Oh my gawd, this is beautiful :cry: SMBX being a webgame now will make it so much easier to get people to play it in the future! But I am even more happy about the GNU/Linux version.

Greetings. I played SMBX2b4 on Linux Mint 19.3 using Wine Staging 5.5 and ran into a major and a minor issue. The major issue is that when attempting to use Teleportation Pipes, such as those found in the World Maps of "Super RMN All-Stars" and "Yoshi's Archipelago", the followin...
