sprite sets maybe?

remote star
#

I think its bloated arm9

crimson dome
#

Don't directly assume it's the arm9, there are multiple reasons why a level can crash

remote star
#

Ooo

#

Mixing sprites can crash the level?

crimson dome
#

No

#

What actors are you using in your level?

remote star
#

Cuz when i remove some actors the level stop crashing

remote star
#

And koopas

#

And some levels only crash with luigi, such as 1-C, fixed 3-B, fixed 2-1, 2-4 and 2-5, 2-5 this happens btw:

#

Remember tho that those only crash when pausing the game

remote star
#

So i doubt it may be bloated arm 9

#

Also i removed luigi physics cuz rexy shouldnt work like luigi

sweet owl
remote star
#

Ill wait till William's fixed source since i think he will move stuff to overlays too, and if theres stuff in diferent overlays i dont need to re-enable spritesets on levels n such

remote star
#

Today ill make smth people may like, ill post in public resources once i make it

remote star
#

Thankfully the transparency is material controled

#

So i can make a fixed version of it without having the transparency

remote star
#

Something is diferent.... cant tell what it is 🤔

#

Also, remember when ssmb had a old 2-1? I plan using this level on ★-3

#

I would need to get a ssmb demo rom tho

#

-# Yes.... i dont have one 😭

crimson dome
#

I think it'd be more convenient to wait for Will to fix all the issues that are causing the ROM to crash before even considering releasing a new demo

remote star
#

yea thats what i plan actually, it will be way cleaner than the old demo

#

thankfully i found someone on yt that uploaded the ssmb demo rom yesterday, ill be able to extract the level n tileset

fair geode
#

I thought you uploaded the demo a long time ago? or is it gone

remote star
#

Yup i uploaded, i was not managing to patch it so i had to search on yt

remote star
#

W★ have 1 level now

#

4 left

#

Sadly this level crashes when playing with rexy and pausing

trail vapor
trail vapor
remote star
#

yup 2-1 and its tileset

#

i always liked the snow 2-1 and scrapping it would be a shame, so why not reuse on wStar

#

and for w2 it was too hard so its a fair reajustment

trail vapor
#

i thought you still had that tileset...

remote star
#

i did had the graphics but with a diferent tilemap

#

the whole level is this, i got inspired by that for w2-5 too

#

i noticed i forgot adding the wall tiles at the end of the level, those are needed for the level be beatable, otherwise the game will soft lock and mario will fall forever

trail vapor
#

also why are you placing paths like newerds 😭 a horizontal line is enough. unless the level is vertical or has a vertical section in the middle

remote star
#

nintendo weird ideas ig, the level only ends if mario dont move

trail vapor
#

and, wait you have a lift for the flagpole? weird

remote star
trail vapor
remote star
#

ohhhh fair

trail vapor
remote star
#

its a unused actor actually

trail vapor
#

oh

#

okay i guess then

#

loooooooong treeeeeeeeee

remote star
#

true, idk why i did that 😭

trail vapor
#

because why not

remote star
#

fair

trail vapor
#

just please avoid putting trees in the void

#

also what would be nice (but i think that's complicated) would be to add a different kind of background tiles, if you wanna overdecorate stuff

remote star
#

i could try doing it

trail vapor
#

okay

sweet pier
remote star
#

😭

#

i could do a 1gb version ig with nwav

warm condor
#

once i was thinking of making a nwav verison of Star Scramble DS and name it "New Super Mario Star Scramble Unoptimized"

remote star
#

@fickle sphinx could u do that head imd editing?
i wanted to see if with it those graphical issues on the bottom screen stop happening

#

like on rexy icon

warm condor
#

that's not Rexy anymore, that's xy

remote star
#

exy

#

i think the problem with rexy was like
the crashes n stuff: nbstp related (fixed)
the graphical issues: head model related

#

But the biggest problem was fixed, tho sometimes rexy can turn into exy

remote star
sweet owl
#

Does the body mode have the neck bone set up right?

remote star
#

Yea

#

I use mario armature on it

#

And changing the body model dont makes those graphical issues stop, only changing the head works

#

Honestly im not too worried about those graphical issues too much cuz when dm edits the imd they will stop, i was mostly worried about the crashes the had, wich stopped since i added nbstp back

trail vapor
#

nbstp = nitro binary s'il te plaît
marioready

#

("stp" is often used as a short for "s'il te plaît" which means "please" in french)

remote star
#

LMAO

#

"I woul like a Nitro binary please, sir"

#

Nitro binary do sound like a product you could buy on a random store for some reason

trail vapor
#

on discord. because nitro

remote star
#

TRUE

fickle sphinx
#

exams are coming up for me tho

remote star
#

Dw about it actually, take ur time :>

remote star
#

Ill make more progress on 1-6 today

#

Btw rexy crash momment

#

:3

remote star
#

Im on almost half of this level, its looking nice

#

I think my level design is getting better :>

trail vapor
#

i think too

remote star
#

Thx! :>

trail vapor
#

yw!

remote star
#

also someone knows how to make those arrows disapear after you select a character? cuz it looks really awkyard those arrows there after you select

remote star
#

Snow bg i made for w☆

remote star
#

Ancient image i found

#

The shuriken plant design on the bottom screen 😭

#

Out of boredom ill draw a shuriken plant design

warm condor
#

i have many questions but i don't know what should i say

#

ah, ik

#

why ye old shuriken flower looks like that it's saying "kill me"?

remote star
#

Idk 😭

#

Here new version, honestly nowdays i see this as a shuriken sprout rather than a shuriken plant

#

The leaf was fliped 🤓

trail vapor
#

the new one is interesting tho

remote star
#

I honestly wanted to ask William to make the shuriken and acorn separated powerups (in this case, acorn still blueshell and shuriken a new item) but idk if it would be too hard for him honestly

remote star
#

The second one is kinda cute

#

Ill search for more old ssmb images

#

I miss this title screen ngl

#

Theres a video too

trail vapor
#

peak title ssmb screen so far

remote star
remote star
remote star
trail vapor
#

also this reminds me of something i've noticed: i'm so used to see your videos showcasing the hack with poor audio quality (probably because you enable the microphone as well, or even only the microphone), that it just felt wrong when i played the demo of the hack myself or saw playthroughs of the demo...

remote star
#

Lmaoooooo 😭

#

I still had the gray notebook

warm condor
#

SSMB then: What
SSMB now: 💪🗿

trail vapor
trail vapor
remote star
#

Yea the old one

#

With windows 7

trail vapor
#

oh

#

i thought you meant an actual notebook 😭

remote star
#

Oh 😭

trail vapor
#

(still thought it was possibly a laptop tho)

remote star
#

ngl it is really fun to make progress on ssmb, seeing those images shows how the project evolved in the past 2 years

#

that pink map was a interesting choice, i would not make smth like that again nowdays

#

but it is indeed a interesting concept

#

iirc i did it because i saw it on a nsmbu hack and a nsmbw hack

#

it was sakura beach themed

#

on both hacks

#

also returning to current ssmb, ill show how the new snow bg is on star-3

#

took the screenshot on the pc

remote star
#

Interesting thing i found out

#

I was adding that level intro sound like ztar did, and i decided to add a random nwav as the sound for testing, and guess what? The nwav played

#

So if i find a nwav of the yoshi island game start thing i could probably add it in Game

#

Found one

#

Bro i already loved nwav, now i love even more this code hack

remote star
#

I love squishy clouds

crimson dome
remote star
#

Thats the plan

trail vapor
#

wait it was the yoshi's island level jingle all along??

#

i thought it was from donkey kong country or something

#

wait i just checked it is 😭

#

i really need to play that game

remote star
#

You should ngl, trust me, its one of the best snes games

#

I only never played yoshi island ds but i plan changing it soon

trail vapor
#

okay

remote star
#

I recomend playing the gba version of it cuz it have some fixes

#

And nice stuff

cyan stirrup
#

I may come back to modding on december

remote star
#

nice!!

remote star
#

Not sure if ill be able to but today ill try finishing 1-6

#

Since today ill be out all the day

remote star
#

Im back home

fringe condor
#

Wenas !!!

warm condor
remote star
#

Ill see if i can finish this level today

#

Its like 14:55 so i have a whole day to work on it yet

fringe condor
#

Hello guys 🖐️

#

I not speack English good 😔

remote star
#

U could try using Google translate or something :>

fringe condor
#

Oh

sweet pier
#

Is #1193719548009009192 general 2

warm condor
#

yes

trail vapor
#

yesn't

remote star
#

It was, but now its more like ssmb general marioreadycentral

crimson dome
#

More like JPG Central

remote star
#

LMAO

warm condor
#

this aged pretty well

remote star
#

I didn't checked the general chats for a while but if thats true i think ssmb is progressing really well honestly then

#

From what im doing in the mod i also think im progressing in a interesting speed tbh

warm condor
#

i think that you probably are the most active user in this server

trail vapor
#

i think a lot of the messages here lately have been about progress od the hack itself (or related to it), which is nice

remote star
#

Im addicted to those bouncy clouds

#

They make a funny noise lmao

sweet owl
#

That’s usauly how I do menu sound effects lol, I wish my boss theme was as a midi so I could do koopaling sound effects like that so u could have more

vale bramble
#

What program is this?

remote star
#

Prisma 3d

vale bramble
#

Thank you

remote star
#

I always forgot adding those flying blocks on levels

remote star
#

It seens 1-6 will be yet another level to crash when pausing with rexy, tho i talked with William yesterday, and he said it will probably not going to happen in the updated source (i even sent a new rom with the file ids and new stuff) so im not too worried with it

#

3-train also crashes it seens

#

But this one is only after the checkpoint so i suspect its the mecha koopa memory leak, and if it is, William fixed t already

remote star
#

Guys what yall think of changing this part of w4 theme to smth more like this?

#

Like the second image

remote star
trail vapor
#

and i like the current vibe more

remote star
#

Yea its the w8 theme (the map one, the levels is a bit diferent)

trail vapor
#

yea it's what i thought

fair geode
trail vapor
#

i felt like iy was the map one because of the bg gradient, and the volcanoes (which also fade away in this specific way)

remote star
trail vapor
#

surprised nintendo never made something that was very similar to the worldmap here

remote star
#

I plan making nsmb encore mode later, and the change on w8 first half will be just fixing this thing because idk why nintendo decided to not match the theme

#

Wait i think i acidentally revealed things here

#

😭

crimson dome
remote star
#

Fair

edgy heron
remote star
#

Also just for variety purpose ill make a variant of w2 tileset with grass that will apear on 2-2 and 2-6

remote star
#

I got a dsi 🔥

remote star
#

Returning to ssmb development

#

So, i placed some more stuff and the level itself is turning out nice

remote star
#

Dayum modding a dsi is piss easy

#

Now ill dump every system app cuz i dont Live without them

#

-# (I dont use any)

#

Anyways ill move mu nsmb save from my phone to My dsi and continue there, same as okamiden

#

I love okamiden

trail vapor
#

are you gonna playtest the hack there or something?

remote star
#

Yea ill do it once the source is done

trail vapor
#

okay

remote star
#

I filled the dsi with nsmb hacks lol, i will play missing lands once it releases too

#

N++ too

#

And trq

fickle sphinx
#

what hacks ya trying atm

remote star
#

Rn im playing nsmbu ds

#

W5 suffers to exist lol

#

Surprisingly it runs better than on the 3ds

crimson dome
#

And that's why nobody should use that airship model from NSMBHD epic

remote star
#

True

sweet owl
#

Well it looks nice, could be cool if it was optimised

crimson dome
#

The only one that can be used without any performance issues is the castle model, and even that model has some visual bugs

remote star
#

Morning

remote star
#

5 chunks to finish 1-6

trail vapor
remote star
#

We got sunset light 2 in nsmb before gta6 lol

#

Actually i renamed the sunset one to sunrise/lava, so the new one will be sunset/day

#

Since w1 and w2 of ssmb are at day/sunset

#

With pink-ish sky

#

And w2 graphics got recolored yesterday, and i made this bg

#

The rest ill keep surprise for now

#

{GX_RGB(31,31,31), GX_RGB(9,7,7), GX_RGB(12,7,7),{{-180deg,-92.23deg,-180deg}, GX_RGB(31,26,19)}},

#

Will Smith tool is so peak

trail vapor
#

ohh i like the aesthetics here

#

the background looks a bit compressed tho

remote star
#

Yea i need to fix the bg later, but im really proud of the looks overall on w2

#

I didn't knew the blasters where affectef by light, i love that

trail vapor
#

the grass is a bit too bright i think, and most importantly it needs some kind of shadow below it

remote star
#

Wait yea i forgot shadows

remote star
trail vapor
#

are the whole w1 and w2 gonna be sunset now?

#

some levels look good but imo it's not a great idea to change everything

remote star
#

W1 is day, w2 is sunset, w3 is night, w4 is sunrise and w5 is day

#

Id say w1 is 15:50 and w2 is 17:30

trail vapor
#

i kinda liked the fact that w2 had some day levels tho

#

and the colors of the beach tileset are too bright tho, it should be more orange-ish if you also change the rest

remote star
#

Yea true

trail vapor
#

the new volcano tileset color works a bit better with the background tho

#

also the snow also needs shadow in its tileset

remote star
remote star
trail vapor
#

might need to change the squishy cloud platforms here as well

crimson dome
#

Using squishy cloud platforms in front of the ground looks a bit weird imo

remote star
#

I kinda like using it as deco

crimson dome
#

Also, it's not exactly a good idea to add decorations above squishy cloud platforms

vapid isle
#

Because they'll float

remote star
#

Ohh

#

I could do a thing, make the decoration base tall bellow

#

Longer

remote star
#

Ill try finishing 1-6 today

remote star
#

2 chunks!!!!

remote star
#

Should i add eeries to the level or nah

#

Wait i forgot to say, i finished 1-6, im talking about 1-castle rn

remote star
#

Oki so ill use squigga, shy/fly guy, shuriken bro and eeries

#

SQUIGLER WTF YOURE DOING NO

#

😭

#

For context: they started entering the tiles

#

Anyways fixed i think

#

They dont like sloopes, sad

#

And now im having the same problem as ztardust

#

No more squigga

#

Ill not crash out with nsmb today

remote star
#

I removed sound heap increase code hack and it made the levels stop crashing when pausing with mario, with rexy they still crash tho

crystal grail
#

Im just checking the servers inused to be on before i left discord and started pursuing other hobbies, Sakura SMB DS has improved SOOOO MUCH over the last 8 months, great job JPG64

#

Keep doing the great work

remote star
#

Thx! :>

remote star
#

I made acid looks like actual acid instead of green lava

#

Ill show

#

i also restored og lava water and acid

#

lava have a orange glow on it that i liked

remote star
#

and the water n poison is just because it fits better

remote star
#

what yall think

#

this level will use bubble flower

cyan stirrup
#

That green is too bright :o

remote star
#

yea its to diferentiate from the bg

cyan stirrup
#

Ah oki

remote star
#

here, theres a shuriken bro too, they will apear a lot in this level

trail vapor
# remote star

flooded temple? oh nvm it's probably not a cheep cheep

trail vapor
remote star
trail vapor
#

oh nice

remote star
trail vapor
#

that's what i thought

remote star
#

I added lava too because i decided using lifts as the gimmick of this level

trail vapor
#

dang you almost make me wanna work on a level 😭

#

but i can't really today/for now

remote star
fickle sphinx
#

oh jpg regarding rexys head is that other one still used given wills code hack

remote star
#

This one is only needed cuz when playing on desmume, some 2d graphics get random graphical bugs

#

With missing parts n such

#

But its the only reason on why its needed

fickle sphinx
#

if its not used have you considered just replacing the model with a mario or luigi head one

#

since you mentioned the graphical glitches not happening with thsos right

remote star
#

yup i did it

remote star
remote star
fickle sphinx
#

the one i offered to try to fix

remote star
#

ohhh yea its still used

fickle sphinx
#

ah gotcha

remote star
#

lmao my mouse wheel broke

#

i took it off

#

its looking really funny

remote star
#

I made those, i want to test smth

remote star
#

Now lava have glow

trail vapor
#

gradients?

remote star
#

Yea

#

Ill show

trail vapor
#

how are you planning on doing it?

remote star
#

I used junglekusa

trail vapor
#

if you use the junglekusa, then lava will visually change into water, because the junglekusa loads the water texture for some reason

remote star
#

U need to remember to place it behind lava tho, otherwise it changes into water

remote star
#

here

#

it makes the game visuals waaaaay better

trail vapor
#

dithering could probably have been better, but wow looks nice!!

remote star
#

Thx! :>

trail vapor
#

also, i don't think it has additive blending (still looks good tho)

remote star
#

I plan dithering it a bit too

trail vapor
#

also weird lighter lines in the background. that should get fixed i think

#

and the grass pattern is too repetitive. and still lacks a shadow below

remote star
#

Yea i saw that, idk why it happened, but i plan fixing it

trail vapor
#

only issue with that gradient is that it doesn't move if you move the lava with an event trigger (or just on its own like in 8-6)

remote star
#

i dont really use lava with this so it inst a problem, tho junglekusa can also move up

trail vapor
#

also that probably takes up more vram than a regular texture because of the alpha. so be careful with that i guess

trail vapor
remote star
#

It dont get replaced actually

trail vapor

#

@remote star what the hell just happened

#

I patched the rom, but it downloaded a file of 9KB

remote star
#

9kb rom 😭

#

How this happened 😭

sweet pier
#

Guess that my computer hates me

fickle sphinx
#

ssmb optimized

sweet pier
#

?

remote star
#

Ssmb snes edition

fickle sphinx
sweet pier
#

Oh

#

I get it now

#

Well, i guess that i will need to patch the rom AGAIN

#

😭

#

I will never trust this site again

remote star
#

My ctgp nitro shited itself when i used this

sweet pier
#

Lmao

#

Anyways

#

I'm using a Legally obtained NSMB USA, Australia Rom

#

Does a usa rom work?

remote star
#

Yea

sweet pier
#

Ok

#

Thanks

remote star
#

Btw use desmume for playing it

sweet pier
#

Nah

#

I'm using REAL hardware

remote star
#

It crashes on real hardware 😔

#

Next demo will not tho

sweet pier
#

oh

#

Oh

#

My computer runs desmume at 2 fps so i probably never play this rom hack

remote star
#

U could use drastic on mobile

sweet pier
#

Oh i remembered Drastic para android existed

#

But i patched the rom on my computer

#

Now i have to do it again in my phone

#

😭

remote star
#

Theres a website on mobile that works really nice

#

I always use this

fickle sphinx
remote star
#

Wait yea

#

Thats how i transfer ssmb rom to my phone

#

It usually takes 20-10 seconds to send

sweet pier
#

So i can't

remote star
#

Oh dang :<

fickle sphinx
#

no just with like

#

a cable

remote star
#

I use my old pc's hdd on my wii

#

😭

sweet pier
#

Now i can finally play this rom hack

#

NEVERMIND

#

Why the world doesn't want me to play this hack?

remote star
fickle sphinx
#

try using nsmbe to apply the patch

remote star
sweet pier
remote star
#

Nsmb editor

sweet pier
#

Nah

#

I give up

#

I don't know how to use that

remote star
#

Its pretty easy actually

#

Open a clean nsmb rom

#

Go to "tools and options"

#

And click "apply xdelta patch"

sweet pier
#

But i need to download a program or something?

remote star
#

Yea, wait a sec

sweet pier
trail vapor
remote star
#

Oh

trail vapor
#

nsmbe modifies the rom a little. so instead make a copy and open that i think

remote star
#

Wait yea nsmbe modifiy 2 bytes for some reason

trail vapor
#

though idk if patching with nsmbe works if you open the clean rom, since xdelta patching with nsmbe is different

remote star
#

I only used it once so i got a bit confused

#

Ngl the ammount of stuff that changed from the demo to current ver is absurd

remote star
remote star
#

Morning

remote star
#

I fixed 2-5 crash, the problem was that there was too much stuff in a single area

#

I moved the second half to area 2 and it dont crash anymore

#

Tho the other level's crash im not sure on what it is

remote star
#

I wanted to make a diferent tileset for this world

#

I just cant like this one

trail vapor
#

i like it tho

#

might need a bit more details for the grass and the dirt but apart from that i think it looks nice

remote star
#

I like the grass it have but the ground looks kinda weird

trail vapor
#

it has weird lines yea

#

but i think what it needs the most is details/variations

remote star
#

True

#

What makes me not able to add details is that when i made this tileset it was newer ds pumpkin boneyward, and now im locked to that damn tileset base

trail vapor
#

why not just, add other details elsewhere in the graphics? like in a spot where there's still free space

remote star
#

Wait yea

remote star
#

1-castle is half done

remote star
#

I did more significative progress on it

remote star
#

I was playing mario kart ds and i had a idea regarding the clown car

#

Yall will see it

#

I think some people may already know what it is

#

Lesgo using apicula again yeyeyeye

#

Try guessing it guys

#

Its a pretty memorable thing in mkds

fickle sphinx
#

are you putting blue shell in nsmb

trail vapor
remote star
remote star
#

A hint: its kart related

remote star
#

IT LOOKS SO GOOD

#

Ill only show once someone manage to guess what it is tho

#

Actually here is

trail vapor
#

too bad that it's just a remodeled lakitu cloud

#

it looks like something that would shoot projectiles and can take at least 3 damages

remote star
#

Yea true

pseudo ravine
#

We got playable Rex with various powerup forms before GTA VI

#

Lame jokes aside, this is awesome

#

I hadn't kept up with the project for a bit, the bubbles are so well done

remote star
#

The bubble powerup is looking awesome ngl, William did a great job as always

pseudo ravine
#

Yeah

remote star
#

exy is back!

#

5 chunks for finishing 1-castle btw

remote star
#

Added a airplane bonus room on 1-castle

sweet pier
remote star
trail vapor
remote star
#

Yea the hurricane

#

Hack is ctgp nitro btw

remote star
#

It was too small so i made it bigger

sweet pier
# remote star

Make that you have to put the DS in airplane mode when you have to get on the hurricane

remote star
#

LMAO

trail vapor
remote star
#

Ssmb is famous marioreadycentral

trail vapor
#

also does that mean you stole it from cgtp nitro? are you allowed to do that? or is it also in the base mkds?

remote star
#

Its on mkds too

trail vapor
#

oh okay then

remote star
#

I didn't had a save on my phone so i took a screenshot from ctgp nitro

trail vapor
#

fair

remote star
#

Finished 1-castle!!!

#

Next level ill work on will be 4-2

remote star
#

Paused 4-2, ill work on 5-5, the level name will be "hurricane take off"

#

Its a really hard gimmick to work on damn

#

But i love airplane levels

#

I think this is the first nsmb hack to have a airplane level inst it?

#

Wait nvm fuzzy hack did it

trail vapor
#

technically Sarasaland Advance too kinda but that's more of a submarine

remote star
#

Yea sarasaland one is more a submarine level

#

I kinda wanted to know if it would be possible to make lakitu clouds shoot a projectile, like a airplane, that break blocks and kill bullet bills n other common sky enemies

#

This image is so funny

remote star
#

Ig it would be easier than a custom actor, not sure tho

trail vapor
#

probably, yes

remote star
trail vapor
#

it's slightly angled, interesting

#

also why is there green shading when there's no acid?

remote star
trail vapor
#

ohhh okay

remote star

#

do the propellers rotate?

remote star
#

Yea

trail vapor
remote star
#

Not really, since its suposed to be water like

#

But its reflective

trail vapor
#

oh ok

trail vapor
remote star
#

Yea

trail vapor
#

also do you have any lava anywhere else in the hack? and poison water? (apart from 1-4(?)

remote star
#

The acid dont really glow, it reflect light into a green shade

remote star
#

And the poison apears also on w4

trail vapor
#

because i feel like the code hack could also have worked by replacing the poison world-based instead of the lava. but i guess the result is mostly the same anyway apart from the particles when mario/luigi dies, and probably objects "popping" out of existence when touching lava (which i think doesn't happen with poison water?)

#

actually the 2nd reason alone might be enough to justify using it over poison

#

(also because making it transparent as you did seems to work)

remote star
#

The only problem is lava bubbles tho

trail vapor
#

ohh yeah mb, i didn't think of them

remote star
#

That dont pops out of anything else but lava, i even Did a hacky thing on w4 for having poison podobos

trail vapor
#

that's fair. one more reason then i guess

#

are the lava bubbles' colors world-based as well or not?

remote star
#

Yup

trail vapor
#

oh okay then

trail vapor
# remote star

also i just noticed the hitbox will be weird. not only the player might go through it on the sides (though i think it faces the screen so it's easier to know where the "seat" is), but if you lean against walls/floors/ceilings, it might just go through and leave the hitbox for the player

remote star
#

On floors and walls its actually alrigth, the only problem is the tail

trail vapor
#

yeah...

remote star
#

On floor

sweet pier
remote star
#

yea

remote star
trail vapor
#

"feels weird that you placed a twomp above a bridge, thr player might think that it's about to destro-"
scrolls to next image
"oh"

remote star
#

I had this idea once i noticed that i could make break able bridge

trail vapor
#

yeah it's pretty nice

#

did you make it "solid on top" + "explodable block"?

remote star
remote star
#

Explodable block (wood)

trail vapor
#

okay. and it's also "solid on top"? (semisolid)

#

i didn't know you could combine both (but also never tried)

remote star
#

Idk if the solid on top works, but since breakable bridge is only used in this level then its fine

trail vapor
#

yes

#

okay then

tropic hound
remote star
#

Thx :>

remote star
#

Morning :>

remote star
#

I was thinking, maybe the projectile of hurricane could be skeeter one but going forward instead

#

Ill show a example

#

This would probably be super easy to code

#

Like

#

If the player press L/R when on lakitu cloud it shoots this

#

And it already kill some enemies, and break blocks

trail vapor
#

i think it has been done in sarasaland advance (not fully sure if it's a custom actor tho)

#

the issue tho is that it goes way too slow

remote star
remote star
cyan stirrup
trail vapor
#

lmao 😭

remote star
#

LMAO

#

The thing is that it also looks like that in sml and now i cant unsee it

remote star
#

5-C is a autoscroller so its kinda smaller than other levels, wich makes it easier to finish and design

#

At the end of the level mario falls of the plane and it explodes

#

Yea i couldn't think of anything better

#

I may call this level "hurricane ambush"

remote star
#

im going to work more

#

on 5-C

#

current progress

#

the airplane is a lakitu cloud btw

#

since i dont use lakitus in ssmb

remote star
#

Also i feel like i use dolphins as a dorrie replacement on poison water only, so i dont need a custom actor for it

#

Aka only on ★-1

sweet owl
#

I have the thunder lakitu cloud

#

I can share the code and you can modify what it spawns if you want

remote star
#

that would be really helpful

sweet owl
#

Okay, I will later today when I get to school, I got a psych outpatients appointment in a few minutes so I can’t do it now

remote star
#

oki, thx!! :>

trail vapor
#

speaking of which, is the lighting its own actor? is it possible to spawn it with the actor spawner?

trail vapor
trail vapor
#

okay. because i thought it was linked to lakithunder and so that it required it to be loaded, or it would cause issues

remote star
#

Lmao i was looking on old images here and i remembered that when i used no cash gba i often was jumpscared by rendering bugs that made the shy guys face pop up on the screen randomly when testing levels

#

I changed to desmume mostly because of that

#

So yea now yall know i was often jumpscared when playtesting pre-alpha ssmb!

sweet owl
remote star
#

Interesting

remote star
#

I love how this looks ngl

sweet pier
#

Can't wait to play it

remote star
#

ill make sure this level apears on the next demo

#

ngl

sweet pier
#

(Also, nice profile picture :>)

remote star
#

thx :3

trail vapor
#

honestly i feel like i should say it but, it doesn't quite feel the kind of thing you would see in an official 2d mario game. still nice tho

remote star
#

its kinda sad nintendo probably will never add a airplane level again

sweet pier
trail vapor
#

no i mean more like an overcomplicated mech vehicle design

sweet pier
trail vapor
remote star
#

it is better on the snes homebrew remake

sweet pier
#

Super Mario Land 1 itself, feels empty

trail vapor
#

also why is everyone having these pixelated avatar outline things lately?

remote star
#

its a discord gift

sweet pier
trail vapor
remote star
#

you get it by completing a recap thing

trail vapor
#

okay

remote star
sweet pier
#

Yeah

remote star
sweet pier
#

I got it in mobile

sweet pier
remote star
#

FRRRR

#

the gbc version is juicy

#

who agrees?

sweet pier
#

Me

remote star
#

based

remote star
#

Morning :>

sweet pier
#

Good morning MarioWave

remote star
#

When illy sends the code for the lakitu cloud ill see if it is possible to spawn those skeeter bombs

#

Cuz on actor spawner i didn't managed to

#

But i know actor spawner works diferently when spawning stuff since it need stuff next to the view sometimes n such so i dont overthink much

remote star
#

I was thinking, what if i made this level a bit more challenging and adding those meteors?

#

Cuz i never used those and they kinda fit here

#

Im going to remake the level cuz it was not turning out so fun

#

Ill do it

remote star
#

Im going to make green debris

#

Because w6 inst lava, but acid

trail vapor
#

and the star coin is too early i think

remote star
#

The autoscroller is a bit slow so it gives the level a nice challenge

trail vapor
#

yeah but i mean everything feels cramped and too close together

#

the first platform ends too soon, with a block right above the last/edge tile. then the wall-like structure that is after is too close to the first platform. i think the player needs to move forwards a bit before shooting projectiles

warm condor
#

as Beste said, it seems too early

remote star
#

I could move it a bit

warm condor
#

8 pixels right doesn't count Trol

remote star
trail vapor
#

i feel like it could be weird once again that the ship doesn't have hitboxes with most stuff

sweet pier
remote star
trail vapor
#

fair i guess

#

it's just that i'm not fully sure it would make sense visually

#

and so could be confusing

remote star
remote star
#

made it higher poly

shy wraith
remote star
#

Thx :>

trail vapor
#

another thing that i would suggest is placing ground below it maybe. it would be a bit unfair if the player jumped on the sides or the propellers and just fell

#

tho it does make more sense to jump in the middle than on the sides

sweet owl

remote star
#

Thx!! :>

#

To spawn anything else i change 97 to the actor i want exemple 122

#

Right?

trail vapor
#

is there a setting in the base game to change the rotation of the skeeter projectiles tho or not? because you would probably also need that

remote star
#

Idk but probably it exists

remote star
#

i already included the nsmb.hpp btw

remote star
#

Today i almost didn't made anything on ssmb 😭

remote star
#

Anyways ill try designing more stuff

#

On 5-C

remote star
#

I have a small problem, i was testing, and i noticed that those skeeter bombs seen to not be able to spawn outside water

#

I hate this game

#

😭

#

bro why nintendo coded those to specifically spawn underwater? like, they couldnt just make it spawn 😭

#

well rip using skeeter projectiles ig, ill see another type of projectile i could use

#

ik theres some in nsmb that can break blocks

#

bricks i mean

#

they dont spawn even underwater it seens

sweet owl
#

Cause the resources aren’t loaded

remote star
#

how i load them

trail vapor
#

put a skeeter in the level

remote star
#

oh

#

nope :<

#

still nothing

remote star
trail vapor
remote star
#

sad fr

remote star
#

Im thinking in giving up on the airplane being able of throwing projectiles honestly

trail vapor
#

just giving feedback and that's it, without showing anything else of me or my personality

sweet owl
remote star
#

Oh

sweet owl
# remote star

That’s because it’s just a snipit of code, you need to change the variables and define the variables for your needs

remote star
remote star
#

Morning

remote star
#

I dont know codding so im kinda dumb on this 😭

remote star
#

Also i fixed my problem with skeeter, ill just make it spawn a cannon ball, and i added a sensor flag to make it destroy brick blocks

#

Didn't added yet actually, im trying to add

#

Forgot saying this lol

remote star
#

Im getting errors when compiling 😭

#

Well i guess i gave up on this too :<

remote star
#

I think that at this point it would be better make a actor that destroys bricks, kill some enemies (bullet bill, banzai bill and paratropas) and is shoot from lakitu clouds

remote star
#

Im going crazy with this plane stuff 😭

remote star
crimson dome
remote star
#

I really should do it

crimson dome
#

You clearly don't know what you're doing and you're stressing yourself too much with this, and you won't get a response from Illy right now because she's currently sleeping

remote star
#

Also yea true

#

I could continue on 4-2 since its more causal and dont have anything special about it, its just skeeter n boo level

#

I was watching some skjmin shorts rn lol

#

His levels are nice

#

I was looking here, sadly i dont think i have a free bg slot, i was thinking on making a bg kinda like vanilla 2-4 one

#

But for 4-2

#

-# unironically, its the same numbers but swaped

remote star
crimson dome
#

The game definitely won't like that background, it'll likely get really compressed, even with Nitro Paint

remote star
#

True

#

I have some thatics for making it less compressed that may can work

trail vapor
#

too much mixed elements. and the way the grass fades to a lighter color before going in contact with the brown below doesn't look great i think

remote star
#

I see

crimson dome
#

I think it'd be better if you grab the vanilla desert background only and recolor the sand to green to make it look like grass

crimson dome
# remote star

Here you're basically taking three different backgrounds and mixing them into one, which not only looks weird but also increases the chances of the background getting compressed

remote star
#

What about this?

crimson dome
#

Better I guess

#

You could add the trees to the bottom background instead, not everything needs to be mixed into a single background

remote star
#

Tbf also its not because other w4 levels have the trees that this one needs it too

#

Im right?

remote star
#

It looks nice in game

#

I had to do some hex editing so its scroling works propperly but its nice

remote star
#

i logged into my pc and i noticd some people are with diferent fonts on their name its a new discord thing or

sweet owl
#

Or add

remote star
#

ohhhh

sweet owl
#

Static u8 variable name

#

In the function

#

Don’t know how you can deal with sensor flags if you can’t declare the most simple types of variables

remote star
#

i failed dealing with the sensors kinda, i mean, i dont really know what im doing, im just doing it blidnly

remote star
#

my brain inst very functional 😭

remote star
remote star
trail vapor
remote star
#

had to be discord

trail vapor
remote star
#

yea i should get it

remote star
sweet owl
#

Just put a semi colon after them

remote star
#

ohhh oki

sweet owl
#

And actor spawned should be a bool

remote star
#

like that?

#

YEAAAA

#

Thx a lot sis :>

trail vapor
remote star
#

She could use a virtual machine tho

trail vapor
#

well i just checked and notepad++ too so...

remote star
#

If i spawn a goomba it looks like the plane is shitting

trail vapor
#

aaand turns out visual studio is also available for mac and linux

remote star
#

Wait

#

If i make the plane spawn a plane, it would mean the plane is spawning a plane that can also spawn a plane, inst that a infinite loop in some way?

#

It would mean the plane has another plane inside it, and this plane also have a plane inside it etc...

#

Weird

#

And illogical i think

#

Sadly most of the actors i spawn crash the game :<

#

Goomba didn't crashed at first but them it did

trail vapor
#

weird

remote star
#

I removed the asm line to see if its the reason

#

Since iirc illy said it was for lakithunder stuff

trail vapor
#

maybe some parameters getting applied or something

remote star
#

Yea now it dont crashes

trail vapor
remote star
#

It was the asm line

#

I created a army

#

Im loving ts

#

Ill send the code to will smith later

#

Now ill make the airplane shit goombas again cuz i laughed af with that

#

LMFAO

#

Im doing so much random shit

#

Ill make it spawn bullet bill rn just because im bored

#

Once i have the actor for the projectile ill add it on the code

trail vapor
#

does it at least have a timer for you to be able to shoot projectiles again?

remote star
#

yea

trail vapor
#

okay then

#

because in one of the images it looked like it was spammed

remote star
#

the cannonballs are slow so i could spawn a lot

trail vapor
#

oh ok

remote star
#

i was thinking, the projectile could be a modifyied version of the king bill actor that dont kill/damadge mario and have a 16x16 hitbox

#

i hope its not too hard to do

sweet owl
sweet owl
remote star
#

It patched!!

#

Thats good

#

Nvm

#

It failed to link arm binary

#

Done

#

It was a hpp thing

#

The game crashes when loading it ahdhahdhshf

#

Nvm2

#

Illy, how i can make the sensors of the king bill be 16x16 pixels

#

Thats all i need so the projectile is done

#

Also, how i can make the particles for when the lakitu projectile kill something disapear

#

Since it always apear in screen once it explodes

remote star
#

This is what i mean, it spawns a particle and it never despawns

trail vapor
#

i think there's a function that could destroy the actor (something like "ActorDestruct"), maybe you could use that?

remote star
#

It happens whenever a actor spawned by the cloud that have particle is killed

trail vapor
#

isn't it an issue with the cannon actor you made? since king bill doesn't destroy itself

remote star
#

The king bill have a particle when its killed, maybe removing it fixes the issue?

trail vapor
#

maybe idk

remote star
#

Done

#

Ill send those to William

#

Im really happy honestly

#

Ill record a video

#

ig the airplane book is now closed, now i can just make my level and be happy

#

:3

trail vapor
#

wow nice!!

remote star
#

thx! :>

trail vapor
#

a bit weird that the airplane just poops out the cannon balls when looking to the right tho 😭

remote star
#

LMAO

#

true

trail vapor
#

tho i think it feels weird when mario is small in the plane?

remote star
#

mario is hiding from the meteours fr fr

#

it looks kinda funny ngl

#

looks like the plane is flying by its own lol

trail vapor
#

yeah but idk if it's not better to make it a bit smaller in this case. also taking in account some of the hitbox issues

#

also i think adding flying paratroopas in the level could be nice

remote star
#

yea thats the plan

#

it will be a mario land inspired level too, so it will give more freedon to work on stuff

trail vapor
#

and if possible it would be nice to make the cannon ball shoot produce a sound effect

remote star
#

true

#

im really happy with this

#

ngl

trail vapor
#

yeah it's really cool

remote star
#

half of 5-c done

remote star
#

Today ill see if i can finish 5-C

remote star
#

6 chunks left!!!

#

3 left!!!!

#

Finished

#

This level is really hard, but in compensation its kinda fast if you dont die

#

And there are mushroom blocks so you can collect

warm condor
remote star
#

LMAO

trail vapor
#

is it the airplane level?

remote star
#

Yea

trail vapor
#

i feel like it would be nice to have another airship level earlier in the game

remote star
#

I plan making one in w4

trail vapor
#

okay

remote star
#

ill record 5-C

#

Done

#

Ill post here

#

206 mb sob_skull

trail vapor
remote star
#

LMAO

trail vapor
#

jokes aside, looks pretty fun, and i like the mechanic!!

#

also the fact that it's an optional level is pretty nice for those who don't like gameplay changes

warm condor
remote star
trail vapor
#

also i like how the airship explodes here (despite surviving all the falling debris... though you could argue that they damaged the airship and that it gets its last damages at the wall)

#

though maybe move the exit entrance to the wall? so it kinda makes more sense i guess? actually probably not because it could mean mario jumps out of it. if that's the case maybe put another warp entrance below the view if the player actually jumps

remote star
#

I could do that too, would be a interesting secret

trail vapor
#

here the deco is boring tho. also maybe it would be nice to have slightly more complicated structuring in some areas, for example not having only straight walls (they need to be gay walls)
-# (or bi or ace or whatever else)

remote star
#

Lmaoooooo 😭
Yea true i need to decorate those walls a bit

trail vapor
#

for example having some edges, a bit like the ceiling in the ending area

#

but like on the walls instead of the ceiling

warm condor
trail vapor
#

paint them rainbow?

remote star
#

Lets use the Mario kart ds boost pannels texture

#

-# (Not saying this because i used it to make a mario kart double dash block on mkds nah)

#

I love mkds boost pannels texture

#

Theyre colorful and sadly never used again

#

Who agree's?

trail vapor
#

oh yeah forgot to say

warm condor
trail vapor
remote star
trail vapor
#

oh yeah they're replaced by yellow and blue (for gravity) ones now...

remote star
#

i hate those yellow ones cuz theyre boring

warm condor
trail vapor
# trail vapor oh yeah forgot to say

after watching the video i feel like you should make the airship model smaller again. small mario is not very visible. and the more the airship is large, the less the hitbox makes sense

remote star
#

the blue one is kinda good, but still not as charmy as old mkds ones

trail vapor
#

hitbox with walls, meteors, enemies, and i would even say the floor sometimes

trail vapor
remote star
#

4-2 image

trail vapor
#

is it kinda inspired by 2-4? (from the vanilla game)

remote star
#

yup

#

the concept is interesting and i never saw it being reused

crimson dome
#

I reused it in my hack

remote star
#

and its used on a different theme instead of desert wich is nice

remote star
#

wich level?

crimson dome
#

2-1

remote star
#

ohhh

#

cant wait it for release ngl

trail vapor
# remote star yup

oh interesting. i like how the numbers are swapped, idk if it's intentional or not

trail vapor
remote star
trail vapor
#

then how did you reuse the concept in 2-1?

crimson dome
trail vapor
#

ohh okay

remote star
#

On 4-2 u need to find a moon and collect it to acess the secret exit

trail vapor
#

a moon?

#

like 3up moon?

remote star
#

Yea

trail vapor
#

okay. a bit weird i guess but i guess it works?

remote star
#

Theres outlined blocks, once u get the moon those turn into red ! Blocks

trail vapor
#

in reference to the moon of the world/bg?

remote star
#

Yea

#

It will be suposed to be a fake moon since it will be in a high place at the start of the level

trail vapor
#

okay

remote star
#

I just hate discord

#

Well, ill go back to playing Sister location gn ^^

sweet owl
#

I’m getting ghost pings from discord all the time as well

crimson dome
#

Probably people who's only trolling, better to just ignore them

cyan stirrup
#

The sister

#

Where was the sister located?

remote star
remote star
#

Ill progress on 4-2, thankfully it dont have star coins, same as 4-castle and 4-tower

trail vapor
#

why doesn't it have star coins?

remote star
#

Thats a long story actually, all started when i first added w4, since i didn't really wanted to add a w4, i made it a small 4 levels world, and decided that none of those levels would have star coins so it would be easier to make levels, and when i expanded w4 because i was more happy with it, i already had made the main levels, so i couldn't just sneak star coins there because the levels are not made with them in mind, so on the new levels i added star coins and the other ones i didn't, and then i expanded w4 again, so i decided to follow this w4 style, since it turned into its identity: w4 would only have 12 star coins
So thats the reason why it didn't have levels, And the castle i wanted to add star coins but i forgot to enable it on goombatlas and now i cba adding it via code cuz idk where i change a vallue to enable it

trail vapor
#

oh...

remote star
#

4-2 will be a fun level to work with

trail vapor
#

honestly i feel like it would be better to actually solve the problem, rather than doing some weird workarounds which might also be confusing for the player

remote star
#

I kinda agree tbh, but i could use the excuse "its a haunted world" too ig

trail vapor
#

but yeah i do understand the "levels not built with the star coins in mind" part. maybe you could add a section or modify part of the level?

remote star
#

Yea that too

trail vapor
trail vapor
remote star
#

On the worldmap theres no star coin icon over the levels wich could help them thinking "ah theres no star coin here"

trail vapor
#

oh okay

#

a bit weird tho to just have some levels without star coins

remote star
trail vapor
#

oh they were made by mosquito?

remote star
#

Yea

trail vapor
#

i don't remember 4-A tho, i mentioned the underground one because it was in the demo

trail vapor
# remote star Yea

okay. that kinda explains why they feel a bit inconsistent with your levels then, both in quality and in overall level design (for example introducing random stuff)
