Mari0 SE Beta

[Superjustinbros]

Before I start going into making animated tiles for ? blocks and coins, do animated ? blocks and coins default to vanilla SMB1 ? blocks and coins upon being placed?

[Flutter Skye]

Nope.
EDIT: I though you meant something else.

[Maurice]

They do but you can replace the standard graphic.

That's unfortunate, it would be more flexible the other way.

[Automatik]

Yeah, and it would show what SE is capable of

[Maurice]

It really doesn't seem all that useful to me.
You can already put things into breakable blocks.

[Sky]

Except for the usefulness that is the single coin.

[Maurice]

Coins are so useful.

[Sky]

...hang on, can you make a single coin entity out of a custom enemy?

EDIT: I don't think you can. Could you make that a possibility, Maurice? If so, I would be glad to use those instead.
Also also, if you do this, could you also add something that adds time to the timer?

I would expect to see it like this:

AddCoins = (number of coins)
AddTime = (amount of time)

[Maurice]

using enemies as coins is a terrible idea.

[Sky]

using enemies as coins is a terrible idea.

It allows them to be dynamic, such as when you hit an enemy with a fireball in SMW and it leaves a coin behind that slides away. Similar idea, but if you don't like it... well, you ARE the coder, after all.

[Maurice]

It's a terrible idea because it will lag with 100 coins onscreen.

[Sky]

It's a terrible idea because it will lag with 100 coins onscreen.

Honestly, if the mappack maker puts 100 custom enemies of any type onscreen - and you know someone will anyway - then that's their fault. But I'm just throwing ideas out there.

[Maurice]

It turns out I forgot to disable the debug slowdown in _7, which sucks so here's a fixed version.
Nothing or nothing I know of else changed.

[Superjustinbros]

The idea of having multiple ? block and coin skins would really be useful for Mari0, especially for more artistic mappacks. Example:

(yes these are colored ala Minecraft's Ores)
Also, good map makers wouldn't be dumb and spam coin entities everywhere, like WillWare said.

[Chris0neilson]

Maurice, you fix the light bridge and flag yet. see picture above on post. this still bug on game.

[Maurice]

Oh look. An animated coinblock with what's currently in SE.

[B-Man99]

(yes these are colored ala Minecraft's Ores)

Welcome to Reference Land! Once you come you never leave

EDIT (Oh crap I forgot my actual message): I think it would be really useful to have multiple textures for all of the entities (Example being having a weighted storage cube and a companion cube).

One out of... how many again? Four? With five frames each?

unless you're trying to make NSMB2 rewards
WHAT? Um, I didn't say anything. :D

I don't know if you guys are acting stupid or if you really don't get it.

Why would you even use such a comparison
It's hard to take you serious.

[BobTheLawyer]

WOAH!
RELEASED???
YOU ARE AMAZING MAURICE!

I have almost never seen you (SJB) write a single post without mentioning yourself. Even if it's "Hey this is a cool mappack" you mention yourself or something you've done somehow. I'm not even going to go into what this does to what your posts come out as.

@Bob... man, you missed a lot yesterday. :)

Except bricks don't work.

Look, the thing about Mario games in general is that there's a lot of supposedly useless blocks lying around. Some are brick blocks, yes. Some are not, and they just have one coin in them. Are these blocks useless? No, they have a coin in them. They can serve as platforms, rewards, whatever, even if they just have one coin. And it turns out that throughout the Mario games there are a lot of them just like that, and also a lot of different kinds of ? blocks with different looks and animations. Bricks don't work for this, because they break when Super Mario hits them. And in this, they can't have just one coin, so they can't be platforms that I can count on as a mappack maker to always be there.

The only reason we're having this discussion is to reach an understanding. I want to make sure I'm understood. So do you. So with each of these statements we keep trying to drive the point home. I'm not misunderstanding you. I just think it could be done better. You don't think it needs to be. I get it.

But my point is this - even if it seems useless, what harm is there in adding a little functionality, that people will end up using because it's a normal part of a Mario game? There's two ways of doing it (and I may be wrong, but they seem pretty easy) - add coin functionality to custom enemies, or make animations override the default coinblock. If the problem is the coding, just say that. If the problem is the pressure, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that, I just thought this was a type of discussion, not a debate. But please don't insult me.

[B-Man99]

But the question remains...
Will mari0 SE has door?

You could make an invisible pedestal button and have it trigger an animation

Wouldn't this actually work because of the "move player to x,y" and "load level" actions in the animations tab?

Yes, it would work, but I think it was a joke.

BUG: You can't right click.

Not really a bug, are you on a Mac or Linux?

[alesan99]

More progress on my mappack

[weee50]

I'm on mac. I tried CTRL+Click and CMD+Click!


I was using the selection tool. When you press Escape before releasing your mouse, then release your mouse, this error throws up.

[BobTheLawyer]

I can't seem to figure out how the Gravity was changed in the Skydiving map...

EDIT: Multiplayer doesn't work

[maidenTREE]

I am going crazy with the custom enemies, because I made a Yellow Koopa and a Blue Koopa, and a Red Piranha Plant, and even a green Cheep-Cheep.
I give this thread a 999999999999999/9999999999999999 for being awesome.

He used invisible funnels, set at a slow speed.

[HansAgain]

*Lakitu end doesn't work.
*Hammer bros suicides (they go down).

EDIT: Also, Maurice, are you planning making enemies have custom sprites? Or are you going to tell me that i can do it with custom enemies?

[Jackostar10000]

This is fun

Thats So kewl. Hey how did you pull that off without all the vvvvvv gel?

[popcan12]

Thing to notice; Using big Mari0 in an infinite portal loop.

Also, he didn't. He just changed the graphic of the VVVVV gel to an invisable one while it's on the ground. Or, that's what I'm thinking.

[TurretBot]

I feel rude for pointing this out... but he did use vvvvvvv gel

[MM102]

Its retextured blank along with the faith plates

[popcan12]

That's what I said in my post.

[TurretBot]

Sane here

[Chris0neilson]

There another bug.

When shot with bulletbill go into portal and still stand (not angle. or not rotate.) go up air and cant hit the goomba.


Another Crash:

When Press "esc" to exit from tiles.

That's about 10%

[popcan12]

Hey, is there a way to make animation triggers only activate once, so you don't accidently go back to it?

[Maurice]

"disable this animation"

[HansAgain]

Maurice, can you make the text entity write more symbols (""",",",":","-")?

[popcan12]

Maurice, can you make the text entity write more symbols (""",",",":","-")?

In order to do some of those symbols you need to manually edit the text from the txt. That's how I got the ? to appear in the things, and the comma.

By the way, when you press ctrl, how do you stop debug mode?

[Camewel]

press enter in the console (probably)

[maidenTREE]

Haha, having fun:
Credit to Hans1998 for the sprites.

Get the console as the active window, type "cont" (with no quotes) then hit enter.

[popcan12]

Thank you.
