Posting this from my thread over here, any custom entities on a map will crash the game if they use an index higher than that defined in entities.png. Some behavior to handle this exception would be neat.

- Light bridges elevate only goombas and spikeys, most other enemies get stuck in them and freeze.
- Lasers do not kill piranha plants.
- Hard light bridges do not stop piranha plants from coming up. (May be intended feature.)
- You can place portals behind the origin point of lasers and hard light bridges.
- Lasers and hard light bridges overlapping are not dangerous (unless the enemies are positioned as such).
If you feel disapointed why you don't just use the level editor?jpalomo wrote:Not really a bug or glitch of any sort, but a level design flaw in the portal maps. In level 2-1, the last part can be completed with no portals. This video should demonstrate the issue:
Just lower the left floor by one block and it should be fine.

If the white gel gets on to a surface where the orange gel is also landing, the player can spam fire at the impact site until a portal successfully lands and this would enable the player to severely break any puzzle with white gel and any other gel coming out at an angle.

The Hammer Bros. keep killing themselves as thrown hammers are scripted so that they kill upon contact with any enemy. Even the ones they've just thrown.
More often than not, I can wait them out until they throw one then immediately jump and whack themselves with their own hammer.

renhoek does that happen every time for you in 1.3? I couldn't replicate it.
EDIT: oh ok only with starman power.

yeah, that is a bit odd to me. i had figured like the hammers would only hurt after going through a portal, just like the bullet billsWanderingTedium wrote:The Hammer Bros. keep killing themselves as thrown hammers are scripted so that they kill upon contact with any enemy.

Changelog 1.4:
- FIxed spikeys gaining momentum
- Fixed space key for input boxes
- Changed hammers to only kill after portaled
- Fixed 1.5
- Fixed lakitos shot
- Added shorter http timeout
- Removed slow scrolling on pushing against wall
- Fixed fireball shoot hat offset

Todo:
Maybe I should just kill the player if he tries to push a koopa into a wall like that.
Maybe people will shut up about it then and hope that I don't kill the player when he portals in the next update.
Because killing the player is all I can do in that situation.

I doubt that. At least not without a star.xXxrenhoekxXx wrote:can't remember how but I think i JUMPED INTO HIM FROM THE BOTTOM and he died... I was confused as f*ck.Raicuparta wrote:renhoek does that happen every time for you in 1.3? I couldn't replicate it.

Uh, I'm not sure if anyone else has had this issue, or if it's been brought up before, but whenever I make a checkpoint in a sublevel of a level I've made, if I die, it goes back to the original start of the level, with Mario nowhere to be found. Then I immediately die, and keep dying until a game over. Am I just doing something wrong, or is this just a bug?

Sometimes an emancipation grill can destroy a portal with mario traveling through it and cause him to teleport through blocks beneath him and presumably elsewhere.
Great level-select functionality. I noticed that it doesn't let you warp to world 3 or 5 if you have only been to 1 or 8. Good work!podfish wrote:Hey, there!
I'm finding that when I have a logitech game pad with 12 buttons, a hat and two axes, and I have portal control to the mouse, jump does not work no matter what button I assign on the pad.
I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric.
Fabulous fusion here, I'm enjoying it. While I understand the people's frustration at not being able to have checkpoints, I like the additional frustration factor--it's really reminiscent of the old-school gaming experience. I remember memorizing the original super mario so I could basically defeat bowser in 8-4 in the neighborhood of 8 minutes.
However, it would be really cool if you could start at the beginning of the world after the last world completed (like using a-start on the old nintendo console).
The Podfish.
I'm still finding my control pad doesn't work properly when mapping the "jump" function to a joypad button in 1.3 when player 1 has mouse portals. I'm wondering if there is a fix on my end?
I'm still on 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot 64-bit, with the following entry in my lsusb:
Code: Select all
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 046d:c216 Logitech, Inc. Dual Action Gamepad
Try stepping on the flying red koopa troopas.
They become the turtle version of the Flash.

These aren't glitches or anything crucial, just suggestions that would make it more convenient for people using controllers:
1) Allow whatever joystick controls are set for up,down,left,right to be usable in navigating the menu. And have whatever button is assigned to jump function act as the enter key does in the menu.
2) I'm using an Xbox 360 controller, and since RT and LT are pressure-sensitive I guess they are treated as axes rather than buttons. Therefore they aren't able to be assigned to the Portal1 and Portal2 buttons. I'd like to be able to use them though, since those are the buttons used to shoot portals in the actual portal games. So, if that's possible I think it'd feel better than having to use the RB and LB buttons.
Again, nothing crucial. You've been doing great so far, any other issues I had were fixed within the first couple of updates.

I downloaded the latest love enigne and the latest version of mari0
but when I start the game it says; mari0 isn't working anymore and should be closed.
Löve gives the same error.
these are my stats, can you help me?

This happened in version 1.3 of Mari0:
During world 4-1 I got hit by one of Lakitu's spinies when I had a mushroom power-up. Mario turned small but stayed in shock. He just kept flashing and I could touch anything I wanted without dying.
It stopped after I got another mushroom.
My screen recording software was what was making it lag. Normally it runs smoothly.
Just up the speed to 2x and it'll look semi-normal.

Player 2's second portal color is still too close to the first, nudge it a bit more to the right so the marker is over that area between solid green and solid cyan.
I tested it on 3 different monitors, one modern LCD and two older CRTs, all calibrated to the best i could with my eyes (those instruments to calibrate monitors cost a fortune), the older CRTs can't show colors perfectly 'cause of their aging phosphors and analog cables, and each of them distorts colors in a slightly different direction; in all of them that seawater color still looks different enough from the cyan of player 3's first portal color and it's definetly clearly different from the green of the first portal color of player 2. I haven't asked anyone else to confirm though, perhaps my eye is not sensitive enough to green hues, dunno...

Is cheat mode supposed to be auto unlocked? It wasn't in previous versions and when I started 1.3 it would let me use it.
Not a cheat, bug, or issue, but could you make it possible to change portal colour even if you're playing alone?

Maurice, I looked into the problem I posted earlier (blank gray screen on OSX) and found a solution. It has to do with an FSAA setting that's too high for my old card. In the Love code (eventually in SDL's SDL_GL_MULTISAMPLESAMPLES), it's supposed to fail safe and disable AA, but that doesn't happen with my drivers... I just get the "invalid memory allocation" message.
Anyway, in Mari0, at 2x scale, the highest I can set fsaa is 2; at 3x scale, it only works when set to 0. So, I figured it would be nice to change the fsaa setting on-the-fly. I edited main.lua and menu.lua to add an entry to the options menu for fsaa (below vsync): 0,1,2,4,8,16. The setting is saved to the config file and has a default in defaultconfig(). I can send/post the changes/diff if it'd be helpful for the next release.
Now I can finally play Mari0 on my Mac - awesome! :)

:) well, in the mean time, if this helps anybody out, here's my patch to add FSAA to the options menu. It's diff'd against the 1.3 release. fsaa_menu.patchMaurice wrote:Well totally ain't my fault that whatever you guys did in 0.7.2 or whatever to stop fsaa from crashing the game doesn't work!slime wrote:I kept telling him to lower FSAA to something reasonable before release, especially because 16x won't even work on most systems, but he was all like "no it looks good on my computer!" :P
Mario turning small when hit when he has the fire power isn't a bug. People who played the original will know that. I remember it was like that and I just checked on an emulator and you do because small even if you have a fire flower.
And you are supposed to become big mario when you pick up a fire flower when small.
I cant believe some people are playing this and never played Super Mario Bros
When a red koopa goes in a portal they will walk off the platform no matter where they are on it.

I just did a quick google search and found an emulator that plays smb1 online (no Im not linking could get in trouble.) and mario crossover has the origi- fuck it you get the point.

Part of the issue is actually that people played it a long time ago, and then played many different new Mario games since then, and got the game mechanics all mixed up i their heads

Either that or the only Mario games they've played were 3 and every other Mario 2D platformer past World, where they finally decided to make Mario take an extra hit past the Super Mushroom.TiagoTiago wrote:Part of the issue is actually that people played it a long time ago, and then played many different new Mario games since then, and got the game mechanics all mixed up i their heads

Glitches i found
1. bloopers swim in air if in a water level(haven't tried elsewhere
2. i jumped into a lakitu without powers and killed him(but not shure if it was in mari0 or sm1, sorry)
3. if you portal a sliding koopa vertically from the cealing, it hits the floor at a 90 degreese angle and then continues to slide horisontaly, but very slowly

A few quick things, which I just checked on SMB:
- Fireballing a Spiny should get you 200 points, not 100. Same for a Spiny Egg.
- Fireballs are still bouncing off springboards, when they should stop instead.
- Multi-coin blocks should stay active for longer. On SMB, you can get 12 coins out of a block that's close to your head, and 9 out of one slightly higher up. I consistently get only 7 in Mari0.
- Starman power should last a bit longer. On SMB it lasts 30 or 31 game-seconds, compared to 25 in Mari0.
- Maurice can't win: now it seems like Bullet Bills don't fire enough. I think the limit of three "on screen" considers the entire level, not just the screen box?
- I retract my previous report that fireballing a Buzzy Beetle should make the sound of a fireball stopping. I was wrong.
- Fireballing a Koopa should make them fall off the screen as an upside down shell, not as a Koopa.
- Fireballs should be initially shot out at a 45 degree angle and travel in a straight line until they strike the ground, when they start bouncing. In Mari0, they have "realistic" physics immediately upon firing, traveling in an arc. This is most noticeable on 2-2 (and 7-2) when you're elevated a lot.
- Stomping on two Goombas simultaneously should get you 100 and 400 points (start of 1-2). In Mari0, I can't seem to stomp two at the same time.
- If you run and jump at a down pipe, and hold down as you touch it, Mario should do the walking/running motion as he goes down the pipe. It looks like he's dancing, and 1987-me thought this was hilarious.
Most of those are just changing a number or single variable, or don't really affect gameplay. I only mention them because you seem to have added the skidding animation in 1.3, so it seems like you're trying to exactly replicate SMB. Keep up the good work.
