1) I've given it a try disabling the pause menu but no real luck thus far. I'll look further into it some time. Worst case, I'll have to modify LunaDLL to add some extra functionality for control of allowing/disallowing pausing, since my initial attempt of blocking the control input failed.
2) How does disallowing the player from entering the pause menu help "A World 1 Level" from Ep 1? I don't recall that level or what's wrong with it.

I'm unaware of what was done in ASMT/A2MT for no P-Switch music (was it just have no music file or a silent music file?), but any reason the same can't be done?

I'm now however thinking that in the next few days I may look into adding a "p-switch settings" thing to LunaLua, so various things about p-switches could be set from Lua, which would be via the lunaworld.lua file for making something episode-wide. Might think about making it so in addition to silent or not, maybe allowing the duration to be changed by Lua code (not super relevant to A2XT stuff at the episode level but maybe some level creators would find it handy)

the P-switch thingy in ASMT was an ASM patch that replaced the P-switch music with a ticking sound effect that played over the level music. Here's an example from raocow's ASMT LP, or a TAS of that level if you don't want commentary. I can easily grab that sound effect.

EDIT: If it's any use to you, here's the ASMT resources pack, which includes the ASM patch for the ticking p-switch (\patches\ticking.asm)

As for "A World 1 Level", the main part the level uses events that sync up with the music. Pausing the game causes the events to stop until you unpause, which causes the music and the events to desync.

I've been rewatching Super Talking Time Bros. 2 recently and yesterday got to this episode which features a level with screen wrap where raocow ends up getting hit in a really cheap way by a rex wrapping around that he couldn't have possibly seen coming. My question is this: How feasible would it be using LunaLua to make it so instead of wrapping around the way it does the camera just kept scrolling around so it was completely seamless? I'd assume this would be fairly difficult, if even possible, but it seems like it could actually make for some interesting level construction so I thought I'd ask.

		player.dropItemKeyPressing = false

	end
end

This works, but the OW stays black, and the level continues until I either let go of select first, or press another button. An ideas?

Alternative thoughts;

(1) A secret gimmick level per world that has zero bearing on plot or world theme
(2) A gimmick level per world that thematically matches and is either the last or pre-last level of each world
(3) Or, yeah, just a total gimmick world

Also, a visual representation of fairy form would be super neat. Nice touch.

I'm talking like the "0/1" indicator or whatever in a HUB. There's no way currently to grab that info and put it in a variable, correct?

also, how do I spawn an NPC with velocity?

-- Spawn a goomba 70px above the player
local myNewNPC = NPC.spawn(1, player.x, player.y - 70, player.section)

-- Give the newly spawned NPC a velocity such that it is traveling upwards when spawned
myNewNPC.speedY = -10

So far as I'm aware anyway, the way of doing this is not currently known no.

This works, but I get a blank overworld frame, and the level music continues until I either let go of select first, or press another button. An ideas?
