SMBX Level Patcher v1.5 !
SMBX Level Patcher is a utility to create a level patch which can be apply on the other levels.
The level patch take every elements in a level file except the default layers and default events, the players positions and the section's informations.
What's the interest ?
You can install custom npcs with text file in your level easily, even for the custom graphics and musics.
But if you want to install a public complex system with scripts, events, variables and layers, or with custom blocks and backgrounds, it's more difficult.
This is why I programmed this program with Batch, you can install them easily in your level instead to follow an explanation to create variable or set some information in event manually.
How to use it ?
You have two programs :
- "SMBX Level Patcher V1,5" to create level patch since a existing level.
- "SMBX Level Patch Apply V1,5" to apply a patch in a level.
In those two programs, place your level and patch file in the program.
To example, if you want to apply a patch in yourlevel.lvl, place your level in the software and press enter.
Once the patch created, you get the .slp file. (SLP means SMBX Level Patch)
Don't forget !
- SMBX Level Patcher takes only the elements inside the level file, so it doesn't take the custom graphics, musics, or npc text files.
- SMBX Level Patcher takes ALL elements (except the default layers and default events, the players positions and the section's informations.) so if you don't want block in your patch, remove them in your level to example.
- SMBX Level Patcher doesn't take default layers and events.
- SMBX Level Patcher doesn't take the crypted level.
- SMBX Level Patcher works only in SMBX 38A level.

Of course you can. Thank you ! Anyway, I make a minor update which corrects a bug, that I found today. The download link is updated. | ||
I think, for LVLX/WLDX and SMBX 1.3's LVL/WLD you can use PGE File Library: https://github.com/WohlSoft/PGE-File-Library-STL
38A's formats are experimentally supported for read/write and I don't recommend you use it for those formats now yet. Using it is very simple, just include all CPP/C/H files into your project, enable C++11 support and you can use library's API (internally every file type, level, world map, game save, SMBX 1.3's game settings file, has special structure where you can access data.). But this case if you would create patcher in C++. Short info about SMBX 1.3's and PGE-X files: - in SMBX 1.3 all parameters are written with separating with line feed Code: Select all 1- in PGE-X data entries are stored into sections, and inside every section every entry uses entire line: Code: Select all XXX(unlike old format and unlike 38A's every field is marked, therefore if field is not presented, it will be automatically initialized with default value. That allows to don't store parameter if default value is set). | ||
Can this copy scripts & variables?

SMBX Level Patcher takes all elements from your level except the players, the section's informations and the default layers/events. If you want to create a patch with scripts and variable you must remove all elements in your level that you don't want. | ||
Ok. I will try! | ||
