At the moment, is their anything this new editor can do that regular SMBX can't do, in the beta version.

Yes, allow me to list a few:
1. Copy/Paste Objects
2. Undo/Redo
3. SMBX World Map Scenery Bug is fixed in PGE
4. Select multiple objects at once and move them all at once.
5. Auto-scroll any of the 21 sections.
That's just a few of the things that PGE can do better than SMBX at the moment. There are heaps more things it can do as well that make it outweigh SMBX in the positives.

If you have to ask that question then you don't know what this project is.
Basically, this editor will be compatible with SMBX episodes and levels but ultimately there will be an actual game engine made by Wohlstand et al that will be able to utilize the extended features that PlatGenWohl offers like proper NPC scripting, more Z-indexed layers for NPCs, BGOs, FGOs and tiles that will make for fancy levels full of cosmetic loveliness.
The SMBX compatibility will be considered more like legacy support as people will be able to change so much that the game can lose the instant "Mario" feeling we all get despite the custom graphics and other things we can currently do.

- No colission function
- Layer select.. emm:

Instead of using sorting priority, you can use native Z-Index which is already supported by PGE.
You have a possible switch displaying mode between 4 layers mode and you can correct the position by variable Z-Offset.
Here you can see all the reserved Z-Layers for level objects:

This gimmick is only available in PGE and is not supported by SMBX. I.e. when you try to save a file in the SMBX format, you will lose these settings, and BGOs will be displayed by their internal position.
Note for laboratory build:
The current build is NOT done, you CAN save your file into LVLX format, but when you will load them, they will not load the NPC's, Warps, Physic environments and events. I have not done the storing of these parts. When I will finish those parts, LVLX files should be loaded correctly in the editor.
-own tilesets item box
-Multi-select and multi-change of properties of npcs.blocks.bgos.. ( slippery,generator,etc.etc.etc..)
-Search item on level and worldmap
-zoom
and many other..

Nope. In my tutorial i said: PlatGEnWohl yet is editor of smbx levels. 1 section only - is restriction of SMBX engine. editor cant edit SMBX engine.

You can ask in another topic special for this.
If i understood what you mean: you need .ini configuration file to use tcustom tilesets boxes. Editor will not make this automatic becouse he is dont know what you want.Impossible

ini files of the tilesets are editable by special dialogs: tileset editor and tileset group editor. These tools are generating ini files of tilesets. To create new custon tileset you need to open the "view -> Tileset item box" to show tileset box and click to the "New tileset"

And this will allow for 100% custom tilsets, not just edited versions of existing tiles
Another question; just say your making a new NPC, and its the kirby marshmallow thing from Yoshis island, can you make it act and look exactly like the yoshi island sprite, even the "pop" death

You can make sprites in paint.net and make NPC codes in NPC editor.
P.S. this topic is not for questions.
