Is it possible to increase the speed of the airship cockpit NPC? I've finally got it working how I want it to, but it's a tad too slow for my liking.
Thanks
EDIT: Also, does scrolling other layers/autoscrolling the level not function properly when you're using the airship cockpit? Either they won't scroll at all or they'll glitch out and cause me to die.

Hey guys, doing my first level for this hack. It is pretty much ready to be uploaded and tested, but I made custom graphics for it. How do I include those with the level so that they are a part of it?
Thanks!

Wherever the .lvl file for your level is, put a folder there that has the same name as your level. Find the names of the graphics you want to replace in the "graphics" folder and then rename your custom graphics so that they have that same name/file type. Then, put the renamed custom graphics into the new folder you made for your level.
Then, if you turn your level into a .rar archive and send it, make sure you include that folder in the archive, otherwise the graphics won't show up when you send the level to others. This is the same thing you need to do for custom music.
Hope that helps! Post a reply if that didn't answer all of your questions!

Docopoper:
you suggested for the Final Boss to lower the # of hits Science takes. Could you look into doing that? I can't seem to make it work.
Darkychao/Demolition:
I know you guys had this idea of Super Leeks or something. Are Appearing only in Cutscenes, or will they be in End of World Bosses as well?

It really depends if people mind if we edit their levels to include them

Docopoper suggested some time ago (after the Boss was Finalized) that the # of hits needed should be lowered.

He still should remain difficult, especially since now we risk breaking him if he takes too few hits.

Oh, right. xD Ok, I'll do that tonight.
Though one unrelated thing I'd like to mention:
I added the character's names th the special thanks section of the credits. But I called Iris Green Demo - can that please be a thing we do in the credits throughout the series? I think it would be hilarious.
I also added Uncle Broadsword to the list.

In lunadll, Is it possible to play a custom SFX if you give it a specific id?
I'd like to play a longish track on top of the music without interrupting it.

That with the ability to display arbitrary sprites will be cool. I'll be able to make an entirely separate game in the engine.
Are sprite transformations and direct vertex drawing out of the question? xD

I think It'd be kinda cool to have a puzzle level where you use LunaDLL to have layers you have to move around to progress.

Is there a way to make blocks that stop the player movement from only one side?
Re: SMBX Help Thread
Posted: 01 Dec 2013, 15:04
by docopoper
I think I'd be able to do that with LunaDLL. It might feel different to other collisions though - since I would I would more be holding the player's coordinates to that side of the block when colliding. So anything like collisions with walls stopping the player from running wouldn't happen.

I had an idea of making a Bubble Bobble level. It would be neat to have the special wall collision mechanics of that game included. I tired to make one-way walls with npc codes and resized slopes but those didn't really work.
I have not made anything yet, so this isn't too important right now.

I'm looking for new commands to add. That might be doable with scripts if I add PlayerMemSet which you could use to cancel out collision by triggering it with BlockTrigger, maybe.

No, that's actually very useful since it allows things like displaying message boxes from LunaDLL.
It also allows you to do something really cool:
Scan the message field so that if the level designer types something like "LunaDLL: " + one of the commands you are able to trigger using the text file. That command will be run when the event triggers and no message will be displayed.
I also propose that if a SMB1 axe is set to friendly - it should act as a trigger zone (using the sprite's normal bounding box) that triggers its death event whenever the player touches it, and the talk event for every frame the player is touching it (assuming it has those respective events assigned) - since neither of those events ever seem to be triggered when the axe is friendly and has no message attached. If the axe does have a message attached - you should probably ignore it and not use it as a trigger zone.
Anyway, those are two things I thought of doing when you first came out with the DLL. You just didn't have any way of triggering or reading events. (I still don't know if you can trigger them yet - but you should make that possible if you can)

Well I figured out how to trigger smbxevents. That'll be in the next version.
There's now the ability to make your own custom level cheats as event triggers in lunadll.txt, so I'm adding some globals in the base dll for management and convenience with certain things
deletesystem32 - Fully clears all demo counter records
toggledemocounter - Toggle the demo counter display on/off
thouartdamned - Fully toggle all lunadll features on/off
