A2MBXT Cutscenes and Story SPOILERS (no raocows allowed)

[SAJewers]

All fixed (aside from EOW 5, not changing a graphic...)

[Doctor Shemp]

One Holy missed from SOW1:

nostalga -> nostalgic (I know Holy corrected this to nostalgia, but "nostalgia area" makes less sense than "nostalgic area"

SOW7

"Meanwhile in Science's Lair! -> "Meanwhile in Science's Lair..."
"deducing skills, I have taught you well" -> "deductive skills. I have taught you well" (splice comma)
"litterally" -> "literally"
"Iris's" -> "Iris'" (if that's hard to read, I mean that there should be an apostrophe after Iris but no s after the apostrophe. Possessives for words ending in s are strange in English.)
"THE GOOPAS. IS. THE ONLY THING" -> "THE GOOPAS. IT IS. THE ONLY THING"
"Garrish: We will see..." -> "Garish: We will see..."

SOW9

"What do?" -> "What do we do?" unless you're using the meme, in which case screw you, that meme has never been funny.
"Ok, nevermind" -> "Ok, never mind" or "Oh, never mind." (the latter sounds more natural).
"... happen to earth when..." -> "... happen to Earth when..."
"Stanley Cup" -> "Stanley Cup." (end of a sentence)
"Wait, The Maple Leafs" -> "Wait, the Maple Leafs"
"Forget I said a things" -> "Forget I said a thing" or "Forget I said anything"
"devious tricks they pull on us" -> "devious tricks they will pull on us" or "devious tricks they might pull on us"

[SAJewers]

SOW9

"What do?" -> "What do we do?" unless you're using the meme, in which case screw you, that meme has never been funny.

Yeah, I was specifically referencing that joke from ASMT.

Also, don't forget the joke that Kood is poor at English.

He is? Have the rest of the cutscene makers been told that? I can't think of a single other instance either in that cutscene or any others that indicates that.

[SAJewers]

I thought that was made cannon in ASMBXT? I could've sworn that darkychao made it intentional in ASMBXT to give poor spelling/grammar to Kood.

EDIT: Anway, I rewrote nostalgia area "nostalgia level" (to make the joke more obvious), left "forget I said a things" as-is unless someone can prove me wrong, didn't change the Meanwhile graphic (not editing a graphic), and fixed the rest.

Done.
EoW 2 cutscene, Ver 1.5.

You like it? Was there something else I was supposed to do? Does it need a giant leek?

Should I give the player a pity-leaf at the end?

EDIT: Wait hold on Google Drive is being dumb.

EDIT2: Ok no, it works. It just looks like it doesn't. Weird.

[Doctor Shemp]

Done.
EoW 2 cutscene, Ver 1.0.

The convention is to have every dialogue box include "SPEAKING CHARACTER NAME:" before the dialogue and not to use quotes. For example, instead of having
"All that's left to do is to restore the Triforce and free Princess Zelda!"
you should have
LINK: All that's left to do is restore the Triforce and free Princess Zelda!

EoW 3 cutscene is now done. These are fun to make. The level folder contains walking cycles for everyone except Demo. There is also a lunadll filter tor Demo only level.

"Charasters" probably should be "characters", and probably "this year's" rather than "this years" - unless that's intentional. Other than that, I didn't catch any typos, or at least none that I find atrocious - I'm not a native. Demo stands out in that she can be small in this level, but that's okay.

Also, filename should be EOW2.lvl

Fixed some spelling errors, and a minor graphical glitch in EoW3.

Posted an update via edit.

[Holy]

Start of World 3:

edit: I think it needs a demo filter but I'm not sure how that works.

Looked at it. It's splendid. Brilliant. And it seems to mesh reasonably well with the world 3 intro which I made, so there's no problem with that.

1) Added in the Demo filter
2) I almost want to modify the World 3 Intro to start right in section 3, and replace the Castle in Section 4 with a Saloon. (also, if you missed it, the Section 4 music needs to change do to ContentID)

I almost want to modify the World 3 Intro to start right in section 3

But, but, all the other intros get a sequence like that! Intro 7 has the exploding from the volcano and Intro 1 has the falling out of the sky and Intro 8 has the Mario cutscene and so on.

and replace the Castle in Section 4 with a Saloon.

I'd do that myself if I had a good Saloon graphic! Go ahead.
Actually, one thing I could recommend would be making the graphic look like a saloon behind a saloon, as to explain why aren't the other people visible onscreen until you go into the front building - it's because they're in front of the building that's itself behind the building you go in. Which is the castle right now, but it can be a saloon.

(also, if you missed it, the Section 4 music needs to change do to ContentID)

Eh, just continue with Section 3's music if that doesn't get flagged. In hindsight, having three custom songs for such a short, straightforward level that doesn't really have much replay value either is pointless. Might as well reduce it to two while there's a reason.

Just for information, all the songs of that level come from here: Section 1 and 2 use the first 20 seconds or so of song 2 of the video, Section 3 uses song 15 and Section 4 uses song 14. The ContentID system notices some completely unrelated song in there, apparently, which shows it's a flawed system, but I understand the need to submit to it.

[Doctor Shemp]

Corrections:
SOW3
Wart makes a duck noise. This makes sense when his graphic is what we changed it to but not really when you change it back to Wart. However, since you've gone to the trouble of making different size Warts by the look of it, it would probably be easier to find a way of stopping him making that sound.

EOW3
A couple of typos:
This years Tony award -> This year's Tony Award
charasters -> characters

[Menshay]

If I'm not mistaken the World 4 outro uses the same music as the old (?) version of Johnson McCain which apparently gets flagged.
I guess another round of ContentID testing will be needed for these.

Fair enough on the First point then. Second point if someone wants to do that, it'd be great. Third point, I can make that change.

Yeah, might be a good idea for someone to check all the music in the cutscenes.

Also, don't forget to put any music you use in cutscenes in the credits.

Pretty major problem with EOW3:

Upon starting, Demo is immediately trampled and killed by the other characters unless she's big (I didn't test it with a LunaDLL-enabled version, but the lunadll.txt file seems to contain only "filter to Demo" instructions). Adding a nohurt=1 line to the relevant npcxx.txt files should fix the issue. (Unless it's deliberate, I guess).

The cutscene works perfectly on my end.

What charasters are you meaning. Only Iris is supposed to get past Demo, and she's set to friendly. Is Demo not walking right in the beginning or something? That would mean someone broke the chain of events.

Also if the charasters are moving super fast, it means your computer is not set to read the decimals properly.

Edit: If you live in a region where the decimal symbol is a comma, go into "Region and Language Settings" and change the decimal symbol to a dot. Otherwise movement speeds like "0.8" wont work properly.

Seems the most likely explanation, I'll check (EDIT: it was). (Still, I foresee this causing issues for people in the same situation when playing the final game and I don't see any downsides in setting everyone to friendly just to be completely sure.)

Done. Thanks for the reminder by the way, otherwise I never would have considered doing that.

[Demolition]

I'm currently going through all of the cut scenes fixing plot holes and correcting spelling so no one else needs to really bother with that. Once all of the cutscene stuff is done I will post everything as one big folder.

E: "Link" in the SOW2 EOW2 cutscene should be changed to "elf"

Do you mean EoW2 cutscene? I dont think that SoW2 has been made yet.
