Since it may be a while before I return to further developing my map pack A0zora, I decided to create a new thread dedicated solely to the production of the mod it's accompanied with.

DOWNLOAD: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n2d023a0z0bjv ... .love?dl=0
Make sure the file's extension is ".love" and LOVE is downloaded onto your computer before you run the mod!

At the moment I write this, here's what I've accomplished so far:

*New player character. (Unlike Mario, he can display aiming in all directions when jumping, sliding, or shooting)
*Enhanced SMB tileset.
*Game font now displays a drop shadow.
*Some Portal tiles are demade into 8bit.
*New enemy and item graphics.
*New "?" and Used Block Skins.
*Decoy sprites are no longer re-used enemies.
*New sound effects.
*Upbeat energetic soundtrack.

*Debris of Broken blocks now colored properly. (pbalazs)
*Stars now play the Powerup sound effect and award points upon pickup. (JohnnyM21)
*The Better Level Editor. (pbalazs, includes further enhancements from BobTheLawyer.)
*Enemies now give 10,000 points instead of 1UPs (BobTheLawyer)
*Editor supports infinite worlds. (Qcode)
*Altered startup and intermission text.
*Altered player name.

Big thanks to everyone that helped me compile everything into this mod.

OK. I just thought it would be fitting with most of your bosses having guns...

I don't have any new bosses; The new character, who's named Joker, is just a Bowser re-skin, not an entirely new character, and altered sound of firing.

Say, I've noticed that in my mod, exclamation points don't appear, like after Toad's message or at the warp zone. Does anyone know how I can fix this so the mod displays exclamation points?

On another subject, I'd like to increase the max fireballs onscreen to three.

Perhaps a minor update, but I might as well mention some changes made to the mod.

I designed new ? blocks based on the ones used in Extra Mario Bros, and appropriate Used blocks. As for the underground music (which is New Junk City from Earthworm Jim), I changed it from the SNES version to the Genesis/Mega Drive version, since I find it to be slightly more catchy.

I put in some new Overworld music, and I tweaked some of the graphics a bit.

Alright, I upgraded the editor (thanks to BobTheLawyer) and tweaked the music. The new overworld music may not fit right, but I'll try to find something that'll work perfectly soon.

my computer, for some reason, can't run it. I have LOVE2d version 0.8.0 32-bit for Windows and the extension is .love, but it won't respond after the text (example: "loading game genie", etc.) shows up. Am I doing something wrong?

It takes about 30 secs for it to load up. If you have a slow computer it could take longer.

Tell me what the console says that runs with the .love using this
http://www.mediafire.com/?wufxzb4fj22a0vw

Wait, why does it say 10.88 MB?


If it doesn't say anything, you probably aren't waiting long enough...

Let's just say that the music probobly bumps up the file size of the mod much more than the actuall graphical and gameplay improvements.

It's worked roughly every time for me, one just has to be patient.

It does with me too. You just need to wait. If you wait a minute or two, it obvisouly isn't loading for you.

Mod update. Tinkered with some of the sounds. There's new jumping and swimming sound effects. Also fixed something in regards to the fast underground music not matching the normal speed underground music.

EDIT: Another update. Replaced the overworld music from J.J. & Jeff with the "Space Queens" theme from the canceled Sonic Xtreme.

Would anyone around here be able to reconfigure and re-enable some of the punctuation keys that suddenly don't work like the Question Mark, dash, and Exclamation Point?

Your supposed to navigate to gui.lua and replace the code from line 427 to line 444 with the second section of code that Automatik. Basically just delete lines 427-444 and past in the code.
Edit: Oops! Automatik already changed his reply.

Okay, it's fixed. I realized the exclamation mark wasn't drawn in font.png, so I had to add it in.

Aside from he new text, the recent update features a remix of the Donkey Kong Land cave music, though I believe it (along with me adding parallax scrolling backgrounds to A0zora) is starting to cause slowdowns and freezes even on something as powerfull as Win 7. If anyone can figure out further what could be causing this, please tell me.

Is this mod able to be run with other mods? I have a better level editor installed right now that I like but I think that that is one of the features listed on here so if it's not other mod compatible that might not be a problem...

Somehow the mod is no longer allowing entry into the Minus World. Anywhere there is a warp that leads to World 4 but doesn't have the "Welcome to Warp Zone" text will always lead to World 4, rather than that mappack's Minus World. I even tried configuring it to always go to the Minus World by changing the world destination in the editor to "M", but whenever I do, the instant I attempt to enter the warp pipe to the Minus World, the game crashes.
Image
If anyone cares, it'd be great if via the editor, hitting Previous Page on the "Maps" tab brings up ways to jump to (and thus edit) both World 0 and the Minus World. And when selecting the destination world a warp pipe leads to, the player can just type it in directly so any world warp is possible, and if "M" is typed, that pipe will lead to the Minus World.

Firstly, I've never been able to get to the minus world by editing the text files, secondly it's possible to get to (and make) world zero?

World 0 is far much easier and self-explanatory to add a warp to via editing the text files compared to the minus world; to get the warp to the Minus world to work, here's a quote from Maurice himself:
Maurice wrote:Minus world happens when the target world is 4 and the "Welcome to Warpzone!" text isn't displayed yet.
However with this mod of mine, neither happened, and I'm still getting booted to W4; it's like whatever I did with the mod somehow disabled entry to the Minus World altogether (although all I did was mod the text displayed in game and one song that may be leading to slowdowns).

Speaking of which I haven't been able to get the warpzone text to display in my mappack either, so maybe the problem isn't exclusively happening in you mod. If you want to check it out it's in 1-2, (1-2_2 more specifically.) I haven't tried to get the text to display while playing through the level without the editor, maybe it has something to do with that. I'm using the edit0r mod and the infinite worlds mod (primarily edit0r unless I need to add sublevels) just so you know.

Edit:
Maurice wrote:Minus world happens when the target world is 4 and the "Welcome to Warpzone!" text isn't displayed yet.
So it makes sense you would get an error by replacing the world number with the letter of a world that is accessed via conditions hardcoded into the game versus conditions set in the map's text file. Speaking of which you might want to add the minus world as a destination for your mod(although your's is more of a 'cosmetic' mod that doesn't effect the code in very large amounts, maybe Qcode's infinite worlds would be better).

Edit: Edit: Never mind my problem was much similar, I forgot to check the 'has warpzone' option.

So is there a recording utility that I can use to record audio directly from the computer, (i.e. not an external microphone) since there's this one I'm using right now (Total Recorder) that purposely inserts a sound effect at around a minute in unless I buy the full version.

Try Audacity, make sure you get the newest version though, because the old one tends to crash after recording

Uh....what? Audacity is the easiest audio editor out there, for simple tasks like recording, cutting, coping, mixing, converting audio files and add simple effects there is nothing easier than Audacity.

And that's pretty much what I think about gimp. But when I first started with it, I almost gave up trying to figure things out. Plus photo editing is my strong point and I rarely dabble in that audio stuff... I mainly said that because a lot of open-source things are notorious for being counter-intuitive.

Okay, I'm stuck. No matter what settings I do, my Macintosh records but never picks up any audio, and my PC doesn't allow me to record at all; I cannot find anything in the like that's labeled "Stereo Mix" in the Recording section of Preferences.
