The gameplay should work fine but the editor might crash because I changed some control stuff for 0.10.0.
I didn't add too much 0.10.0 specific stuff so it might work fine other than that.

I have one small feature request.
Would it be possible to add a right click menu to Boom Boom that doesn't trigger the SMB3 boss music when he appears on screen?
(incase you have it on a normal non-Boss level)

That shouldn't be hard to add, so it'll be in the update.

But for now, you can create a "sounds" folder in your mappack and place an empty sound file named "boss.ogg"

By the way, is it possible to add a conveyor belt as a tile property or a entity that you place on any tile? They would be a nice addition, even if they are just another thing that you have to reskin with the custom part of the editor.

Just make an acid custom tile, make it a foreground tile, put it in the pits on your level, then you have acid goo.

A few suggestions before the next update:
Blue Coins
Instead of awarding Mario one coin, a blue coin awards mario 5.
Small Clocks
These award Mario with only 10-50 extra seconds.
Ice Property
Exactly what it means.
Pow Blocks
Hitting one destroys all enemies on screen, of course.
Quarter Blocks.
More specifically, blocks that are 1/4 their average size. I think it could be a tile property, like this:
Image
("QTR BLK" stands for "quarter block")
For example, if both bottom left and right or top left and top right are flagged, it could make a half block.
Also, it would be great for making tunnels only accessible by mini mario.
Do you think you might be able to make this? if so, it's totally a-ok.

I already knew. I just thought it would be a lot easier to use it for making a level made entirely of ice. Also, if you have a pipe that you can enter that you want to put ice on, you wouldn't be able to do it because the ice entity uses up the entity space.

I have some suggestions, if you don't mind. If there are some suggestions in here you have seen before that you just passed up, then let me know.

1. Parachute/Bubble Enemy Variations
These function like you expect. Parachute variations of enemies glide down softly until they land, losing their parachute. Bubbles variations of enemies keep moving left in a mid-air bubble, and when they touch a solid surface, their bubble pops. To put it simply... both should act like they did in SMW. The parachute and bubble addition should be a right click option for most enemies.

2. Chargin' Chucks
Obviously, they should behave like they did in SMW. They charge at you when you get near. Nothing more.

3. Item Chance Block
These little knacks randomly cycle an item and if you hit it when it's on a specific item, that specific item will dispense. So, if you hit the block when it was on a Fire Flower, a Fire Flower would dispense.

4. Tanooki Suit
I know there's already a Super Leaf entity in this mod, but the Tanooki Suit acts differently. It allows Mario to fly AND turn into a statue! While in statue form, enemies can't touch you or do anything to you, but be wary, The form only lasts a few seconds. You should also be able to use it (the statue form) offensively, just like you could in SMB3. I think you should be able to figure out the controls for turning into a statue.

5. Spike
Spike is an enemy that spawns spiked balls and throws them at you. I think you can already get a good glimpse of how this would work.

And that's my list of suggestions! Consider these, Alesan99.

I don't know a good way to add this. I'd have to make duplicates of many enemies so maybe I'll just add parachute goombas.

I think I didn't add this last time it was requested because it seemed kind complex. I can add it, it'll just take me around the same amount of time it took me to make the chain chomp.

I don't like adding block entities, but this seems like a good idea.

This could be done right now with enemy tools and reskining some enemies, but I'll think about it,

Alesan99, I appreciate you considering my ideas and suggestions, and for that I say thank you. But, I think I forgot something last time. Oh yeah! THIS...

The Mega Mushroom

Now before you go "But Xplodino, there's a mode in all versions of Mari0 that let's you grow big!". Well, I don't want to play the ENTIRE level (or infact mappack.) as a GIANT Mario. I want to just have one level where the entire goal is destruction. That's why the Mega Mushroom should be added. It doesn't force the player to play through all levels in gigantic. Instead, it gives them those sweet seconds of obliterating everything in their path.

I know, maybe this suggestion will get turned down or something, since this has probably went through your mind already, but I just want to express what I want.

Xplodino, out. *mic drop*

Also, I keep forgetting to mention this. So basically, if you have a level and a sublevel which both have backgrounds, if you die and respawn in that sublevel, instead of the sublevel's background, the background of the MAIN level will instead be there. Is there any form of way to fix this?

I also have a suggestion,just change the mole's physics to this

The mole goes fast and the animation loop also goes fast when you are far from the mole
The mole goes kinda slow and the animation loop also goes kinda slow when you are near from the mole
also when a mole bump to a side of the block the mole kind of bounce. (just watch some gameplays or play the game cause im not good at explaining things in english)

EDIT:I realized i explained it wrong but maybe play smw ? (or super mario maker,it has the same physics of mole but just fancy)

AND ALSO question mark block that releases enemies (maybe goomba,koopas and MOLLLEES)

AND ALSO mushrooms and moles that we could place anywhere without the moles coming from the ground or headbumping a question mark block to get the mushroom.

ok that's enough

The Gravity Tile
i really need it, i made this fanmade: Image Image Image Image
basically it works with energy (buttons, etc.) and change the gravity. The detector option works when you "touch" the tile, and the re-activable option make you can use the gravity tile over and over.

One gel gun
it's basically that one gel gun, like just orange , or purple, or blue

Cube button
just like it sounds

Redirect Lasers cubes
just like portal 2

Franken Turrets
yes, that is

Check out the changelist if anything interests you.

Code: Select all

-----PATCH 1-----
added tiny goomba 
increased music limit to 99 (won't work with older versions)
added clock rightclick menu for time amount
fixed Minus world
fixed mushroom bug
mouse can be used to select worlds
enemy tools will spawn boombooms without music
enemy tools will spawn moles out of ground
fixed mario's minecraft sprites

On the button mapping screen, when the mouse controls are disabled and it tells me to "Push stick right" for joystick-gun-aiming calibration, it recognizes it and even shows up in the options as "JoyXAxe4" or whatever it was. But once I enter gameplay, it will not register at all. No error message comes up during any of this.
WawaTittere wrote:actually, it is a "bug" from the original mari0? or from alesan99?
The mod has the bug. That's the thing--It works just fine in the original; I calibrate by pushing the sticks and boom--I'm aiming the gun with the stick in-game. Which is incredibly odd considering the mod seems to not have altered the control mapping, I assume.

This was actually caused by the conversion from love0.9.0 to 0.10.0.
The way controller input is handled was changed in 0.10.0, making the old code not work anymore.

Is it an easy fix to change the camera tracking so that Mario is always centered no matter which way the camera scrolls?

It's pretty much the only other feature I was concerned about besides the gamepad issue, but I can wait until the next big update if it's not worth looking into at the moment.
