I've been using your mod to make a mappack, but if I try to change the width of a level with a height of anything over 15, I get a crash. Here's the screen i see.

Error

You're the one who always puts great quotes just to say welcome to a new user, no?

One could put:

If you're going to make a reply, atleast fucking make it relevent, and not just "Welcome to the forums!" i mean, i know hes new but he is reporting an error. Sorry if this comes off as rude but, think & read before you reply. Thank you. (Even if there is already an answer.)

Usually people welcome new members to the forum, even if it's slightly off topic.
I don't think that what mine209craft did was any different than what happens all the time here, so I don't really see what the big fuss is about.

MF064DD · Post » 29 Apr 2015, 20:25

Here is a small review and a little bit of recommendation for the future of this project. I will start off by saying I don't want anyone to be offended by this reply, as I tried really hard to speak my opinion without coming off as an asshole. Another thing to notice is that this is a copy-paste of my other post from the topic "Unpopular Opinions" from Twatter. I will also be prepared for any reply or quote I get to this post. Now that I have that clear, happy reading! ^w^

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Why I prefer this is over regular Mari0 1.6

I really don't like Mari0 1.6's limited entities, or at least I felt that way when I first used this mod. I know that that's very stupid to say, considering those are all the NPC's from the original Nintendo Entertainment System game, But I think Maurice should add some more, or take a quick look at this mod. The reason why I use Alesan99's entities pack is because It offers more for map creators, as you can use different enemies and power-ups in specifically themed levels. Dry Bone Enemies and Ice Flowers for Castle Levels, Snow Man Pokey's and Ice Flowers for snow levels, the frog suit for water levels, as well as new fishes, and so much more. There is so many combinations with this mod, and I love that. It's friendly to people who are making a map with a specific theme in the level. Take "Old Mario, New Tricks" for example. I enjoyed the hell out of that game, and I don't think it would be the same if it was created with Mari0 1.6.

This VS Mari0 SE:

For anyone saying that I should try Mari0: Special Edition, Don't think I have. That is one of my more favorite official Mari0 versions, and it quite well organizes everything. But I'm waiting till it reaches out of Beta stages to make final opinions, as it wouldn't be fair to judge it just yet.

But as I said, this moded version of Mari0 is favorite of mine.

My only complaints on Alesan99's Entities are...

Yoshi being understandably Glitchy, I think we could've waited till Yoshi was done being programmed right, because not many people need Yoshi in this game, and is just a nice add-on to levels. (No offense Alesan99).

Also not having the ability to change Boom-Boom's fight music, or just simply turn it off. That was an owie to me, because this is the perfect programmed-port of the original Boom-Boom from SMB 3, and this is the only thing that really ruins it.

And the fact that you can't freeze Dry bone enemies, as you could in the NSMBW.

Recommendations:

The ability to have custom intros to Mario when starting a level would be awesome. For example, when Mari0 starts the next level/enters a sub level, I'd love the ability for him to come out of a warp pipe.

Hopefully you all understand that this is just as an opinion and is not meant to be taken as in insult for anyone. I don't want to be hated. :P

I think you actually mean Mario Bros. Special, since both Super Mario Bros. Special and Mario Bros. Special are totally different things aside from the characters and enemies.

1. No reason to talk about a post made a year and a half ago.

Progress Update
I've been working hard on the mod for the past few days and I've added and fixed a bunch of stuff.
You can expect the update to come out sometime this month.

One thing I changed is the DLC/online mappack system. I've been trying to figure out workarounds to the "file uploading site don't allow luasocket download files" and "only up for 1 month" problems and I finally found a solution.
Mappacks are now hosted on imgur instead of that text upload website that only keeps up files for 1 month >:(
You're probably thinking "How did you upload mappacks to imgur? Isn't it a image site?". Well, I made the mappack into an image!
Now this is interesting from a technical standpoint but if you're not interested skip this part

So basically this means mappacks can stay up forever and making dlc available is easier for me! So remember to check the dlc section once and a while

Also:

Yoshi can now use his tounge

zorua7551 · Post » 05 May 2015, 02:29

wait, seeing from the image you posted. Yoshi can't swallow enemies, or can he swallow certain ones?

I made a program that creates an image by using a file's bytes.
Each pixel's r, g, b, a values contain a byte of the file (so r is byte 1, g is byte 2, etc.)
Once the image is made I can upload it to imgur.
Here's an example: http://imgur.com/fiML85b

Then Mari0 can download the image and make the file from the pixel values

I'm not the only one who tried to do this, right?

I'm excited to see Yoshi is getting a much needed fix, because I was actually thinking about adding him in a few levels in my mappack. (I hope the fix results in being able to hit invisible blocks, as well as being able to hit Red/P switches.)

I downloaded all the mappacks under DLC actually, and I love the maps, so I'm excited DLC is becoming more looked into. I also really like the Daily Challenge's concept. It's fun, and It reminds me of games like NSMBU.

I'm excited for the release of this update, if you couldn't tell already. Keep up the good work! :)

EDIT:

alesan99 · Post » 16 May 2015, 01:14

Pre-Release Update
So I'm planning to release the update in a few days so it's time to show some of the features I haven't showed yet.

The map selection menu in the editor has been redesigned.
This means it can now support many worlds, levels, and sublevels.
Currently it has the option to make up to 35 worlds.

- Climbable tiles
Self-explanatory, it's a tile property you can use to make climbable tiles
- Vine Stop
Stops vines from growing to the top of the level. Suggested by Furioushedgehog.
- Fighter Fly
Jumps. From Super Mario Bros Special (Originally from Mario Bros. but I based it on the smbs version @TheDarkerTheLighter)

More smbs stuff
- Wing
Allows mario to swim/fly for a bit.
- DK Hammer
Mario uses it to kill enemies. Mario's hands don't move with the hammer because they don't in SMBS and It would take a lot of time to create sprites.

YES! This update really helps a map I'm working on for this mod. BE READY TO PUT IT ON THE LIST ALESAN

MF064DD · Post » 17 May 2015, 00:10

I'll be gone for 20 minutes...20 days..20 months? Yeah. 20 years. I don't think I'll ever get my eyes off of this game after opening it.

EDIT: Guess I better get back to working my map again. :P

Yoshi is way better in this update. I'm extremely impressed! I was a little upset that the Hammer power up doesnt break barrels, and when in the "Swim/Fly" wing power up, you can't hit blocks. But I guess it's supposed to act like you're underwater, so I'm happy with it. It's going to take me awhile to get used to the new map "level/sub-level" selecter layout in level editor, but the inclusion of 1, 2, 3, 4.. addable 35 worlds is welcoming enough!

Bowser...I don't know if I would use him as an enemy, but I might. Seems weird to add. But it's welcome.

I'll add more overtime, and make it a bit more organised. So far, it's awesomer than any other update.

Fixed. The reason they weren't killable is because I changed the way enemies get killed and I forgot to add barrels to the list.

Mariofan064 wrote:and when in the "Swim/Fly" wing power up, you can't hit blocks.

Not sure what you mean by this. I could hit blocks just fine.

Mariofan064 wrote:Bowser...I don't know if I would use him as an enemy, but I might. Seems weird to add. But it's welcome.

Before you could only put one bowser in each stage and it had to be a boss. SMB2 japan has some bowsers mid stage so that's the reason I added it

Again, download updated

You have to make sure the Anti-virus sees the .exe as an exception. What AV is it?

What do you mean by correcting enemy skins? Do you mean color palettes?
You can just use custom graphics (make "custom" folder in map pack folder) for that and the red paratroopas.

I will make hammer bros chase though

I really don't see the point in changing the water palette sprites since you don't even see them in the original.
And I've been wanting to find the wind sound since I added wind so i'd be happy to add it once someone can get me the sound file. The only other way for me to get it is to get it is by getting to the level in smb2j.
Also the buzzing sound is annoying so i won't add it.

The underwater palettes were seen in the Lost Levels. If you need proof, look at some maps.

Also, another reasonable request is Bullet and Banzai bills outside of their launchers that travel across the screen as soon as you are there, and they do not relaunch unless scrolled off-screen. Like in other games like Super Mario World.

But in the future I will probably make a VIP mappack and it may includes underwater levels.

Open the source file of the mod with an archiver like winrar, 7zip, etc. and go to the sprites folder. Find the sprites you want to change and drag them to your mappack's "custom" folder (If there isn't one create one)
And the music was really nice and upbeat.

Now I know how to do it, I just change the .exe file into a .zip file.
The thing is that editing the enemies is just wasting my time.

You don't change the exe to a zip, you have to download the source (https://www.dropbox.com/s/nx8yls7c0a5rc ... .love?dl=0)
And it's pretty quick too. Just change the enemies you are going to use (which should only be around 10-5 if you are using the smb enemies). If you are using paint.net, just change the paint bucket tool to global and replace the colors on the bottom row of sprites.

If you still don't want to pm me and I I'll do it.
