Would you be able to change your name ingame? You know, the name in the top left corner?

Since we have custom entities, it stands to reason that we'll have a customisable mario.lua. So if mario.lua manages the name almost diffinately. Nd even if not, I don't see why maurice would allow custom character sprites, but not custom names.

Also because people may want to change their name without having to edit the files.

  • No, there is no custom mario.lua(Custom ENNEMIES,and these are in json, not in lua)
  • Custom characters will have custom names(http://i.imgur.com/4eMb0.gif)
Also because people may want to change their name without having to change the files.
What's the point?

While it won't do any change in gameplay, it would be good to see your name instead of Mario's when you finish a world, or save the princess.

It'd be better if Mario was actually you and then you've killed two birds with one stone.

I never really did said anything about custom entities. I was just quoting ucenna for this:

I tend to jump to conclusions, and if their isn't custom entities, one could creatively use custom enemies, to make enemies that do cool entity-like things and don't kill you. That said I don't know much about love or json so I can't say much.

Each character has an associated name.

I was actually thinking about this. I was thinking that after loading, a window would appear saying "What is your name?" and you would type it in or something.

That would be annoying for it to keep popping up.
But, that gives me the idea of having "Profiles" on Mari0. Maybe you could connect you Stabyourself.net account in-game with multiplayer mode! :D

Maybe there could be a certain color scheme when you log on.
And maybe it would show Mario with that color scheme if you click on a person's name.

It's called naming matching your online id to your username.

I made this example for the "Profiles".

I discovered that my font looked just like the NES font when capitilized. When I wrote account, I was copying letters from font.png. :P
Also, this is my first illustration.

Wait, is that the under-case NES letters font?
I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT IN SO LONG!
I THOUGH PEOPLE FORGOT THAT IT EXISTED!

We thought that since you were doing custom enemies that you could also modify items and certain other attributes, since enemies can now be placed inside "?" blocks.

Besides, if custom entities do make it in, the number of "Suggestions" topics would be very slim.

I bet i could do that actually. It's only a matter of adding it to font.png and changing a bit of code.

You'd have to do some sort of lua http scripting to access the accounts on SyS so that Mari0 will know who is who and all that.

I don't think the login thing is even possible.
If the usernames and passwords are saved on a MySQL database (probably) then you're out of luck because LOVE can't connect to MySQL

Also a direct connection to the database, unless you have a seperate database user set up for every actual user (which is pretty much never used in games), is an incredibly stupid idea
