Feedback patch 27

[Lx Xzit]

This post is to give feedback of the fixed/unfixed things in patch 27. While most of things were fixed properly there are some things that didn't. Note that I'm not going to mention things that were reported a day before or the same day the new patch came out (like Skidding and GFX Expansion not working in mountables).

1. Generator warp problem is still not fixed:

2. Platforms in SMW lines:
   I made a post talking about this problem, but what I reported wasn't correct. This bug happen because every time the NPCs attached to the lineguide "find" a new line (i.e moves to a different block), its speed restarts to 0 for one frame:

   This causes both player and NPCs not being able to stick correctly.
   
   
3. Shell Bugs
   There are some problems yet to fix regarding Kamikaze Koopa. Every time they bounce (in the same pattern) they lose a bit of speed, which eventually leads them to losing at their speed and not moving at all.
   
   It starts like this:

   Buf after around 20 seconds it becomes like this:

   The way SMBX 1.3 solve this (and the way I suggested to fix it) is implementing a tiny speed boost. So please insert this somewhere in the Kamikaze's code (I tested with parallel execution and it fixes the problem):
   

   Code: Select all

   with npc(sysval(param1))
   if .xsp > -0.1 and .xsp < 0.1 then
      if .facing = 1 then
        .xsp = -0.2
      else
        .xsp = 0.2
      end if
   end if
   
   
   -Kamikaze Koopas are now immune to explosions, but when they are hit by one, you can hear the sound effect "Birdo Hit". Please remove it.
   
   
4. Skulls still doesn't freeze when the player gets hurt or grows, unlike other platforms:

5. Fireballs physics
   The fireballs feels a bit too bouncy. I gave the correct values, but I didn't realize fireballs gravity in 1.3 was higher than in 1.4. Please change change gravity of the fireballs to 0.38 (from 0.26).
   
   -Plus, here's a table with fireballs speeds for other players (whose I forgot to provide in the previous report):

6. Mini players standing on water was fixed properly, however, the swimming physics for mini-players are now broken (and have been broken since patch 26). It's like force were pushing the players downwards, it takes a lot of fast inputs to gain some height:

   Please revert back swimming physics as they were in patch 25, but without modifying player's behaviour when standing on water.
   
   
7. Veggies
   

   You must provide complete data about the speed of veggies when player-X throw them with up/left/right key pressed/unpressed

   
   Here it is:

   -Hitting Wart with Veggies still makes them disappear, when they just should bounce.
   
   
8. Billy's Gun bullets still can't hit Breakable Glass (npc-208) continuously.
   
   
9. Players still can't fly when they spin-jump in the ground with the Propeller Suit:
   

   Spoiler

   They just perform a normal spin-jump. I don't know if this is intended but I suggest reverting this change, since it doesn't happen in NSMB games and it's just taking away a mechanic that we were so used to.
   
   
10. Mini players can still bounce on Galoombas (Upside down) and SMB3 Bob-Ombs (Ignited)
    
    
11. When the player attacks with the tail (Leaf/Tanooki Suit), it slows down the players x-speed a lot. The players basically lose all his speed:
    

    Spoiler

    

    
    The issue I reported was that the player had wrong animation while falling with "Run" key pressed (it had hovering animations, when this only should happen either if "Jump" or "Alt-Jump" are pressed.)
    
    I really hope the latter problem can be fixed soon, since it completely ruins the experience of using Leaf/Tanooki Suit.
