Mari0 SE Beta

[4matsy]

Is there an ETA on the next beta update?

I always figured it'd be after Maurice fixed most, or at least a good amount, of the bugs listed in the issue tracker. (And let enough time pass for new bug reports to come in; I just found and reported a weird "bad portal shot bounce angle on a mirror block" crash recently, for example.)

[Superjustinbros]

Here's my enemy.lua for anyone that wants it early.

Nothing regarding time bonuses yet?

Or swimming power?

[alesan99]

Or swimming power?

I can only edit enemies not mario's abilities come on people you know I'm not making SE.

[MagicPillow]

I've invented portable blue gel!

Oh yeah, that bug. Odd one ain't it.

Are you referring to the "bigmariobouncesoffofaportal" bug?
Because this is a completely different thing. (Might still be a bug, though.)
It happens when you put the other portal facing a grate.
If this is what you meant, then sorry.

Also, is there a way to make an enemy jump every few seconds without it jumping off the bottom of the level?

If you place a portal facing a platform, grate, or entity/enemy, you'll bounce out of the portal instantly.

Hmm... Didn't know about enemies or platforms...
Thanks for the tip!

On a different note, If region triggers could select half block regions, you could have some sort of bouncy thing using an auto-portal placer, animated tiles, a region trigger, and blue gel.

Let's see how long I can go before I accidentally look at the todo list and lose hope that I'll ever get it done!

I though about my Power Up idea..

In our character folder, we could have a folder called "Power Ups" there would be settings for these, how could it work:

Ifcharactercollidewithenemyname: "boomerangflower" --- If the character collides with this enemy, he will transform into a certain power

Characterpowercustomsprites: true, --- If the character will have custom sprites for the power up

custompowerspritesfoldername: "boomerangmario" -- determines where the custom mario sprites are

givesswimmingability: "false" -- If the character will have the swimming ability after collecting the P-U

swimabilitytimer: true, -- if the swim ability will have a time limit

swimtimer: 20 -- number of game seconds after the swimming ability dissapears.

mariocreatesenemy: true, -- If the character creates a enemy (Fire ball, hammer etc.) (There is a enemy folder in the characters folder)

mariospawnsenemy: "Hammer" -- What enemy does mario create

Maxenemiesonscreen": 4 -- How many enemies can mario create at a time (Like 2 fireballs on the screen at the time)

Canspin: true --- If the character can spin like Raccoon

Resistsenemies: true -- If the character will be able to resists certain enemies attacks after getting the power up

Resistenemy: "Hammerbro", "Hammer", "Koopa" -- What enemies will the character resist.

Numberofjumps: 1 --- How many times will the character be able to jump

playsmusicwhenpowered: true, --- We can add a "music" folder in the characters folder, and drop the music there, it will play the music when the character collected the power up

Musicname: ">Name of music<" -- How is the music named.

Allowswalkingonwater: true -- After getting the power up, we will be able to walk on water

Walkingwatersprites: 5 -- In the graphics we need to add "frozenwater" sprites, the sprites are 16x16, and the sprite appears when mario touches water, similiar to this http://i.imgur.com/M3thdx3.gif

puptimelimit: true -- If the power up dissapears after a certain time

Puptime: 20 -- Number of time until the power up power dissapears

puptimereturnssmall: false -- If after the time limit ends, if mario will go small

puptimereturnbig: true -- if Mario will be big after the time limit ends.

killsallenemiesonscreen: true --- If after mario touched the power up, will all the enemies on screen die

[Mr.Q.Marx?]

Why does it say the last video is the Order of Twilight one on twitch? I want to see what I missed.

[aolko]

I want to see what I missed.

Sadly, last record dated "1 year ago", which is bad

[Maurice]

I had it set to "Don't automatically archive broadcasts" for some reason.
Lemme see if I can retrospectively add it.

[Jackostar10000]

oh yes please. i check back there to see if theres one every now and then.

[Maurice]

Apparently I can't, though.
Well yesterday I only really did what's in the screenshot.
I enabled archiving for the future.

[aolko]

Well yesterday I only really did what's in the screenshot.

what's with preview overflow? i.e. level is too long

[Maurice]

What's wrong with it showing the first ~380 blocks then?

[aolko]

What's wrong with it showing the first ~380 blocks then?

oh.. why not alert the player that it's not a whole map, or allow to scroll it?

[Maurice]

Scrolling just adds unnecessary bulk to the menu.

[Turtle95]

So, do we now have to manually add sublevels? I don't really see a "add sublevel" type of button in that screenshot (I know it's only just been reformatted, but hey, I'm only wondering)

[Superjustinbros]

Seen the new map selection screen. IMO It'd be fine if it was an alternative select screen like by clicking a button on the map selection window to switch styles, but not downright replacing it.

Plus the idea of scrolling down especially if you use levels with long heights is already tedious enough with trying to find custom tiles in a massive tileset since scrolling with the mouse wheel skips a handful of tiles.

[TurretBot]

Then just use the mouse to scroll.

The height will probably only be the first 14-16 blocks (or so) from the bottom, or some reasonable amount to make it NOTICEABLE that it's got a bigger height than 14. Remember:

Same concept applies here.

[alesan99]

I think it's fine the way it is. You just have to get used to it.

Also was the change done so we could add infinite worlds and levels :D?

Well too bad.

Future mod detected
"Oldgui"
I can't mod though

[B-Man99]

Yeah. I can't wait until SE is officially out because then all of the suggestions that didn't make it will inspire mods that very well might be AMAZING ince we have so many AMAZING modders here

[Superjustinbros]

I suppose I'll just wait till we get a more complete level select screen revamp.

[Sunset_Moth]

Is the see-through portals going to be in? It's not in the cheat menu.

[MissingWorld]

Is the see-through portals going to be in? It's not in the cheat menu.

What does that even mean?

[alesan99]

What does that even mean?

He's talking about this:

[Qcode]

Is the see-through portals going to be in? It's not in the cheat menu.

You can enable them in code, they're broken in the current version download though. Freezes right after the levelscreen finishes.

[Maurice]

The new map GUI isn't done yet and you can't create new maps through it yet! You will have to copy an existing map and rename it. If you don't like that, don't use beta _9.

Also every mappack is broken. You can try to repair them by replacing the delimiters, but other things changed as well. It's a beta.

There should be a replace function in programs like Notepad++.
Just open your mappack's level .txt file (for example, 1-1.txt), find the replace function, put in the text that is currently as a delimiter for the text that is going to be replaced, and then paste in the new one from that list that Maurice gave as the text that will replace the text that is going to be replaced.
Then just save it, and you should be good to go!

Beta nine? It says 7fix on the first post. where is _9?
I am an idiot, it's right above it.
And I thought he said to use beta _9 and that he was on beta _10
Where is _8?

[B-Man99]

I think it was so that you could have special symbols and stuff in titles and text and etc.

_8 is in a secret place.
The new map gui looks great, even though it isn't finished yet.

Are you serious? Why not make it 7.5 and nobody would know it existed, and not ask where it was.

[MagicPillow]

I just realized something...
You know how, for songs in mari0 to loop, there can't be an intro that doesn't repeat?
Well using the wait animation and the change music animation, you can!

Also, could someone maybe create a converter to change ,-;*= to ¤×¸·¨ ?

It didn't work. It said it couldn't find the old delimiter.

Because people keeps on pointing it's obvious, I'm going to tell you how to do it. Completely.

First and formost, you got to find the map packs in your computer. On windows, it's default C:\Users\EH\AppData\Roaming\LOVE\mari0_se\mappacks. If you can't find AppData, go in the start menu and search %appdata%. Then you'll find the Roaming file, where you can continue.
Now, choose which map pack you want to bring back to life. Your call. When you've chosen, open that file and you can find a lot of folders and text documents. The ones you want to concentrate on is all X-X text files (Where, in this case, X is a number. Not a specific one, just a number). Ignore every other file.
Before you start editing, download Notepad++. Otherwise this will literally take weeks. When done that, open the text files with Notepad++, NOT Notepad!
With Notepad++, press Ctrl+F. That will open the search box. Choose the Replace option. Now, this is where I got lost, too. Don't search the whole ,-;*=. Instead, search each one individually. Hang on now, this is going to get rough.
This is how you do it:

Search: ,
Replace: ¤
Replace all.

Search: -
Replace: ×
Replace all.

Search: ;
Replace: ¸
Replace all.

Search: *
Replace: ·
Replace all.

Search: =
Replace: ¨
Replace all.

And there we go. Now save with Ctrl+S, and do it on all the other X-X files. When done, launch SE Beta. It should now work. Otherwise, do it on all your map packs or remove whole mari0_se folder (This should only be done in a worst case scenario!).

[MissingWorld]

Sometimes the menu still thinks that the map-select menu is open, so for instance it'll kick you into 1-4 if you're trying to save the map you're on.
