Collection of new NPC suggestions

[Yoshi021]

This list has stopped being updated.




This topic is for NPCs suggestions for SMBX 1.4.X. Simply make a new topic, if the NPC has not been suggested, for the NPC you want, and I will add it here. Please make sure that you check the list of suggested NPCs and don't suggest already suggested NPCs. If the NPC you wanted to suggest is on the list, please go to the topic it was suggested and post a reply stating you want that NPC and share some ideas you had. I will update the list with every NPC suggestion I find.

Well if you put a spoiler outside of Squishy Rex's post maybe you should put spoilers outside all other posts instead? :P Would make it much more convinient to navigate through instead of looking at all these images.

Anyway, stickying this I guess? Not really sure what to do with other existing topics though, like, deleting all of them would be kinda rude, and leaving them just wouldn't be right.

[Yoshi021]

I guess you can leave them there for now.

[andreepika1336]

Bowser in koopa clown car (smw boss), I've bet it will be the most challenging npc to add into the next version....

...And smw versions of lemmy and wendy, they could be the easiest to program into the next version of 5438A38A's smbx.

[ILikeWoods]

Don`t get me wrong now, I don`t have bad intentions: Are you are mod (you are not, aren`t you?) or were you told to do so?

I am asking, because I think, it is a little bit confusingly for him. Specially with always edited massive posts. With single and active threads for specific and - if possible - unique requests he can distinguish better, what is done and what is new and in progress. Overall, the forum section is for suggestions of this kind anyway. Why else create a forum section if anything and everything is cramped into a single thread? BTW: What about the bugs section? Kinda same situation...
People just should make sure to proper NAME their threads ...!

Please make sure that you check the previously suggested NPCs

Not just with npcs, but with the overall features. Not everything is even documented within the files. I also once asked about something which was already an existing feature (sound file replacement). Nobody even bothered to "mock me" about that. The old SMBX was already slightly overfilled with features and options. I am "too old" to be over excited about anything to know everything at the end. Some kind of generic tutorial file with examples and help would be nice. Of course it needs to be created first and would need several people to do so, but I would contribute my - tiny? - knowledge. I know there are some people around here to have more than just a clue what can be done and what not, but this is not possible for everybody. I am just beyond that age where is this still possible.

Edit: just saw that afterwards

Anyway, stickying this I guess? Not really sure what to do with other existing topics though, like, deleting all of them would be kinda rude, and leaving them just wouldn't be right.

Well yearh....

Edit 2: I would even say, putting everything in a single thread would end up as a nightmare and chaos for 5438A38A. I don`t know about you, but at least I once got an insight about how it works within software development companies (it was pretty interesting).
http://www.fogcreek.com/fogbugz/
They used this software - maybe an older version but still... they had to create SEVERAL hundred threads for bugs, suggestions and discussions. Of course with proper naming, descriptions and stuff like that. You might guess, a lot of stuff was combined at a later point or even right after the creation of the thread, like "this issue has already been discussed in case nr. bla bla bla". This can happen with a feature massive software. So, unless 5438A38A says otherwise, I would keep it that way. We just have to make sure, to proper name the threads, make CLEAR, what we "want", or what is wrong, with pictures and figures - if possible.
To make a long story short: Somebody needs to moderate this place who has a decent or great knowledge about SMBX in his current state to simplify the work for 5438A38A. This would be a lot of work through...

So what is the link to 5438A38A's fogbugz website?

[ILikeWoods]

There isn`t one ...
I just said while I was working in that software company both the development team and the QA (in some very rare cases other departments as well) used this software. That`s it.

The thing is that pretty much most NPCs suggested already exist in previous Mario games. Technically, until every single NPC from every Mario game in existence is added, the NPCs selection would be considered "unfinished". I thought that having one topic for all those NPCs could work. If you think it is better to have them all separate and 5438A38A could use feedback provided to check which were more popular than that could still be done. This topic could work as a "database" for all suggested NPCs and people can use it to quickly check what has been suggested before, they make a new topic for their suggestions, and then 5438A38A could choose which to add on the next update.

I somehow agree with you, the point is this: NOT all of my threads are "simple" npc suggestions/requests. Same might apply to other people as well. Suggestions do not limit to "simple" NPC suggestions, specially if the project keeps growing like that with more active users in the future.

viewtopic.php?f=65&t=801
viewtopic.php?f=65&t=765

Something like these ones are "slightly outside of the box"
viewtopic.php?f=65&t=779
viewtopic.php?f=65&t=747
(not my thread, but additional ideas were discussed).

Anyway: I just wanted to express my opinion based on my personal experience. I mean, if he listens to us anyway, we should not throw all of our ideas and bug reports into one bowl expecting him to shift for himself. I just think even if you are doing something for pure fun, you should try to keep order.

This topic could work as a "database" for all suggested NPCs and people can use it to quickly check what has been suggested before

No problem with that one... it would be ignorant of me if I mean to know his approach to work.

Edit: I think I got something wrong. In case you only really meant pure blank npc requests, you might be right. But even in some cases additional descriptions might be needed.

[Yoshi021]

NOT all of my threads are "simple" npc suggestions/requests

No, this was for NPCs suggestions. The rest of the sub-forum can be for advanced settings and mechanics, but I'm starting to change my mind. With so many NPCs to choose from, 5438A38A best interest to see what NPCs had the most requests to be added. I think I will simply use this topic for people to see the previously requested NPCs so there are not 10 topics wanting the Flagpole, but instead one topic with 9 replies saying that they want the flagpole. Also, I will soon change the OP's layout.

[ILikeWoods]

Looks better. I can reconcile with your idea now. : )

[Mushroom King]

Just a correction about Ice Bros. They debuted in NSMB Wii so they are not in SMB3.

[Yoshi021]

I know that, but I think it will work better if their art style is from SMB3, since there are the Hammer,Boomerang,Fire, and Sledge. I think it will work better if they look like a recolored Fire Brother.

[andreepika1336]

I've discovered that in this link in DARKMECHH's post, KFCMario mentioned about chatting with 38A and he requested to add a flag pole npc from smb1 to smbx 1.4.2, but because of time constraints, 38A did not have time to make the flag pole sprites for the playables and making the flag pole npc, now, he is working on this npc in smbx 1.4.3.

[Yoshi021]

Wow, that is cool. So there are 99% that the flag pole will be in SMBX.

He said he didn't include it because lack of sprites. Talkiing about this, I was thinking on cooperate for make all the sprites, so that 5438A38A could work in the flagpole much easier. I made these sprites today. What do you guys think about this idea?

[h2643]

I think the sprites look great, let's hope 5438A38A will see this.

Spoiler

Wow, how did you do that anyway? I always wondered, how to do these kind of sprites.

BTW: from NSMB onwards Mario also can use these horizontal ropes and can move hand over hand along them (pretty sure that`s one of these gamefeatures). Looks like in the Donkey Kong Country games. Say, can you do these kind of sprites as well, that is, if you approve of that suggestion/request/idea ...
