It's still better than 'gone forever'

[14:59] <@Redigit> <FireSeraphim> your treason never ends does it? I'm not an idiot and I can cleary see you made up that lie about nintendo calling you. Nintendo would actually email a cease and desist letter if they didn't want you to continue distributing smbx. You do realize that I'm both dissapointed and rather angry at you for trying to take the easy way out.
[14:59] <@Redigit> <FireSeraphim> ...rather chickenhearted and cowardly if you ask me'
[14:59] <@Redigit> <Redigit> wouldn't the easy way out be to just say "I quit?"
[15:00] <@Redigit> <FireSeraphim> See, you can't prove anything
[15:00] <@Redigit> <FireSeraphim> And to think I used to be your "grim reaper" and you used to be "The lord of SMBXsyvania"
[15:00] <@Redigit> <FireSeraphim> My job as the "grim reaper" was to keep noobs away from you by discouraging the mentioning of your name. Is this how you reward your "reaper"?
[15:00] <@Redigit> <FireSeraphim> Your formerly faithful "reaper" who always kept his "scythe" ready?
[15:00] <@Redigit> <Redigit> are you on drugs?
[15:00] <@Redigit> <FireSeraphim> I knwo about the hardships of life already, I will confess that I have been exiled to juvvy for 2 years and juvvy is not a pleasant place
[15:00] <@Redigit> <FireSeraphim> for hitting my young sister with an iron clothhanger
[15:00] <@Redigit> <FireSeraphim> I know life is not easy. You don't need to tell me that
[15:00] <@Redigit> <FireSeraphim> And this is not the first time I have been betrayed
[15:00] <@Redigit> <FireSeraphim> and I know this will not be the last time either
[15:00] <@Redigit> <FireSeraphim> Especially everything about the dark side of your personality that you hid from the community to give a false impression of benevolence. No redigit, By seeing your dark side I now know that you are not the saintly life-form that everyone thinks you are.
[15:00] <@Redigit> <Redigit> i gotta go man
[15:00] <@Redigit> <FireSeraphim> Very well
[15:00] <@Redigit> <Redigit> nice talking to you
[15:00] <@Redigit> <Redigit> take care of yourself

I'm a bit iffy on swapping the graphics for A2MT stuff.
Like, I think the reason SMBX was so popular was because it was Mario characters (and link) using Mario things with new Mario items and old Mario items doing Mario things in Mario-esque worlds with Mario-based tiles and Mariomariomario(and Link) and that it was so simple to add/drop Mario things or to allow Mario to do something or use something in a Mario way (or Link)

That's not true for most of us SMBX users. I wanted a Mario level editor that was alot simpler, quicker, and easier than Lunar Magic but still had mostly the same capabilities.

Picking up the engine is a nice idea raocow, and we're already looking into it at Talking Time as well. Unfortunately, given Redigit's proven lack of interest in working on the engine even before now, we expect to have no help whatsoever.
Additionally, some romhacking may be required, as there's no other way to switch out the text and title screen images that were embedded into the smbx executable. And that's a little tricky... so far, all we know about the engine is that it was written in Visual Basic.

It might be more worth the time to stick with SMW or just write a new engine. A programmer who knows what he's doing can belt one out in a week.

Conceptually, you just run the executable through a Visual Basic Decompiling program (say VB ReFormer, since it's the first thing I found on Google and there's apparently a free version), and switch the art assets to a new file. And, I mean, I know that like everyone here is 100% okay with romhacking so nobody really cares, but any old decompiler is going to tell you a hundred times about the legal implications blah blah blah we had enough of that already.

EDIT: Nevermind, looks like you need the paid version of VB ReFormer to actually change stuff. Crap on that. For the record, though, the title screen is frmSplash.frx:0000

Super Mario Bros X should be changed to The Great Giana Sisters X

[Kokorov]

Lol, why do I even bother if you guys won't read what Redigit said. If you did read it, isn't it a little odd that Redigit leaves right in the middle of that arument that the whole Nintendo thing is a lie? More proof that Redigit is lying...?

[raocow]

Even if he is lying, the thought of having an altered version out there just entertains me way too much.

That was the conclusion you drew from that?

All I got was that FireSeraphim is kind of a dick. As Redigit said, why wouldn't he just tell people he quit if that were that case? Why would he have to lie about it? And who would blame him from wanting to end a conversation with someone who feels he's owed something he's not? That is not more proof he's lying at all.

Regardless of whether FireSeraphim exaggerating his feelings for the sake of humor, I still think he's a dick. Hopefully they're close friends or something because otherwise... damn.

[Argumentable]

Even if he is lying, that other guy was super creepy

[Somepartsareme]

holy christ. i have to sig some of that

*chat*

Probably the creepiest thing I have read in a while... and it's not even fictional. I really wouldn't want to talk to such a person.

[raocow]

Argumentable, will you be my reaper

[Somepartsareme]

another person being mean to newbies is exactly what talkhaus needs

seriously, not only did he think it was a good idea to be mean to people trying to get into the community, he's batshit insane

[Kokorov]

FireSeraphim is strange, and sometimes kind of creepy, but he's not a dick. I know him.

[Oracle of Wuffing]

Argumentable, will you be my reaper

Why must you betray me, my scythe has always been ready for you but you have fated Argumentable to be your reaper!? I will inform your head cleric about this!

[Argumentable]

Argumentable, will you be my reaper

My "scythe" is always ready for you

I call it a scythe cause it hooks to the right

[Mandew]

You guys make me want to learn C++ and start making REAL games.

[McGack]

I was going to make some form of crude joke but i don't think raocow needs any more encouragement... humph Automobile indeed

[kilon]

No, you may not borrow my avatar.

[S.N.N.]

I just noticed the name "FireSeraphim" in this thread.

Man, he was on SMWC for the longest time, and finally got totally kicked out for being dumb as a pile of bricks and a major asshole overall. Come to think of it, I remember him mentioning migrating to the SMBX community on IRC about a year ago. Welp.

[Elbow]

Ya, I quit SMBX along with the SMBX community to. Once Redigit's new game (Terraria) comes out, I'll be playing that like I did with SMBX!

[Sebby19]

Ahhhh! raocow! YOU MISSED THE BEST ITEM IN THE GAME!
I demand you go back and replay Pwnhammer Duece.

On a less demanding note, in the editor there is a setting that determines if you can bring objects and your ride (Yoshi/Kuribo's shoe) through doors and pipes. This option is set for each warp, but the default option is no.

[Test Pilot Monkey]

Super Mario Bros X should be changed to The Great Giana Sisters X

Which probably wouldn't turn out so great:

Rainbow Arts was forced to withdraw the game from sale almost as soon as it was released and cancel release of the otherwise completed ZX Spectrum version, under pressure from Nintendo's legal arm

Ahhhh! raocow! YOU MISSED THE BEST ITEM IN THE GAME!
I demand you go back and replay Pwnhammer Duece.

He should use it to fight the Key Boss
