NSMB: A Blazing Adventure

[jagged terrace]

Ill show

[stiff geyser]

i think I understand

wait I need to know which bg specifically

[jagged terrace]

Those

[stiff geyser]

yes that one lol

[spring blaze]

Thanks, there are 3 more big suprises in 1-4, 1-5 and 1-Castle and I haven't shown everything from 1-A yet

[jagged terrace]

This is the only thing that could be improve in the mod

[spring blaze]

Trying to ace with that hack

[stiff geyser]

i do like it but i see how it could be better, it looks a bit bland? maybe cause it doesn’t have that much contrast but it’s not bad

[spring blaze]

I made them with blender and it doesn't go that well with Nitropaint sadly

Those are the exact same volcanoes as used on the worldmap

[jagged terrace]

Ohh

@spring blaze try making ones based on the og nsmb ones

[young dome]

I gaved it before bit more contrast since it was even more bland which made the bg bit better, personally im not a fan either and i would probably went with my design that I made sketch of or something

[spring blaze]

But I will try to improve the bgs, because non are final

[young dome]

I think I have even shown it before lmao

[spring blaze]

I was mostly working on the worldmap, level design and actors

[jagged terrace]

But except that, man, this will unthrone newer ds for sure

[spring blaze]

Journer was working on the graphics

and tileset

[jagged terrace]

@spring blaze theres a release date?

[young dome]

@spring blaze would you mind if I have improved the texture for the piranhas plant? since it's bit bland and i think could definily make it look better

[jagged terrace]

Man the hack will have a sakura w- ok ill not make that joke again

[spring blaze]

Nuh uh, but I really hope to release it this year

[jagged terrace]

🔥

[wide delta]

Fun fact, I was very tempted to put "Lava world 🤯" in the trailer, but I thought it wouldn't fit very well and that it would take away some of the seriousness of the trailer

[jagged terrace]

LMAO

[spring blaze]

haha I said I wouldn't have minded the joke, but I guess it might have been better to leave it out

[wide delta]

Yeah, that's why I didn't add it

[jagged terrace]

Add a super ultra mega secret "lava world 🤯" cutscene in the game

[wide delta]

And many people who isn't in this server wouldn't understand the joke, so

[spring blaze]

Oh btw 2 fun facts: I was planning to use the model I've shown in #lsmb for the spiked ball, but I can't find it anymore 💀

So I just used the normal spike in the trailer

[sick marsh]

lethal lava world

[spring blaze]

and the floating fire balls need those line tiles, but in the final release they will be removed

[jagged terrace]

If u want i can try remaking it

[spring blaze]

Nah, I think it wouldn't be hard, but I will mabye try to instead make a new better one later

What level are you mostly looking forward to?

1-1 is the bully one
1-2 underground
1-3 factory
1-Tower is clear

1-A is the plane one (didn't show much)

[sick marsh]

i like all of em fuzzy

incredible job

[spring blaze]

Yeah that's my goal to make every level will likably and as distinct from each other as possible

Old 1-5 of lsmb lmao

[naive garden]

beginning was rly good

(of the whole level)

[spring blaze]

Don't worry I'll improve it even more and try to keep many details as possible

Here is what I was talking about

[young dome]

Yup

The first palette part is completaly changed by me

the brick in palette2, are the original that fuz send me

they had like 16 colours

mine has maybe 50?

[spring blaze]

Make sure to never send the whole tilesset until it's released

People have been stealing tilesets from a trailer video lmao

Here is the version right out of blender

[young dome]

Here is another version with comparison with the newest one

[strange iris]

NO FUCKING WAY

i just saw it in my subscription tab

[naive garden]

higher contrast goes brrr

[young dome]

In this one i used every colours from the original because i still wasn't "brave" enough to add more colours lmao

[jagged terrace]

All

[young dome]

but with the "final" i got myself more free and decided to go the way i want to and i think it would've been the best

This is the first version of the 1-2 tileset (the underground one) that fuzzy send me to improve it

this is the tileset i spend the most time lol

[spring blaze]

Don't show them my modelling skills when it comes to tilesets 😓

[young dome]

I WASNT GOOD AT BEGINNING EITHER 😭

[spring blaze]

What you mean? I am still bad

[young dome]

i loved your island tileset that you made 2 years ago 😔

you have a great potencial

[spring blaze]

Making models for actors

Making models for tilesets 😿

[spring blaze]

Yeah I feel like in NSMB, your rendered result will never be the final tileset

You'll have to polish and I was lazy at the time and now it's even more unlikely for me to pick up on pixel art

[young dome]

trust, if you will ever have time and willigness to try pixel art you're gonna be great after a while, even jpg is getting good recently

[young dome]

in later processes it looked like this, we still wasn't sure how the inner tiles should look like and the lava vein pattern was a big issue for me to make back then

After me crying for a while i decided to just completally improve the palette for the rocks and ask fuz if the blank inner tiles like from 1-2 would've been great and before it i made that piranha plant graphics

and this one is close to finish, i got inspired by one tilesets from somekind of kirby game either from DS or GBA

not much changed since then, only the palette and i redraw the crystals

About this tileset, this is the most recent one that i have made for the nsmbba and i previously shown a sketch of it, it's used in 1-1 and for the worldmap generally

Funfact about this tileset, orignally it was mean't to be recolour of volcano tileset from original but i was so hyped for this hack that i really wanted to make a completaly original tileset for it too even if fuz said to me that i don't have to 😭

[spring blaze]

^^^ true story

[young dome]

(i'll murder you fuz for using the old version for the trailer)

epic fail

[spring blaze]

What?

Did you update it again?

[jagged terrace]

Show more

[spring blaze]

I thought I downoaded the latest tileset for 1-2

[young dome]

[jagged terrace]

Show the factory now

Im curious

[young dome]

Hm, it didn't change that much from the fuz vision, i just added alot of things to it which original it had few and fuz later just made the barrel model

[jagged terrace]

Why u preffer blendering it

[young dome]

This tileset was hard for me to make and i wasnt happy about it until recently lol

[spring blaze]

Blender rendering result

[young dome]

I added, second ground tiles, nearly every decoration and basically remade it

[spring blaze]

Try to blurr it a bit if it's the newest version or paste text in front

[young dome]

i fixed the lines too since they did not tile well back then

[spring blaze]

We don't want people stealing like anwar

[spring blaze]

Because I can't draw

[jagged terrace]

Why

[young dome]

oh, you're right lol

[spring blaze]

and it's easier than drawing complex structures

[jagged terrace]

Its easy

[spring blaze]

also I can provide a draft for Jouner

[jagged terrace]

Me drawing everything:

I wish i could 3d model like blender on prisma 3d

I would render tilesets and draw sketchds

[young dome]

is it blurred enough? 😭 i changed the hue too lol

im not used to that just and forgot lmao

[spring blaze]

I hope

I'm not lying

people took the tileset from the trailer and tried making it themselves

Ofc it was bad and blurred but the attempt alone lmao

[young dome]

yeah, i'll murder anyone that uses any nsmbaba tilesets without asking me and you first lol

especially stealing

it took me like 1 year to make every tileset so far and i don't want to people just take it

[spring blaze]

Yeah I probably will encrypt levels, tilesets and bgs

Mabye the worldmap too but I might provide it as an example to learn from instead

[young dome]

yup, do it

im completaly fine with it in terms of graphics

[spring blaze]

Also a lot is soo unfinished in the levels

I was planning to use the custom lighting code hack

[jagged terrace]

Yup do it

Ill do in ssmb too

[spring blaze]

maybe a "smaller" version of my worldmap

maybe only half, so idiots don't just take it and use if for their hacks

[jagged terrace]

Tho people cant take the worldmap and use it

It will look goofy

[spring blaze]

Uhmm but people do that, maybe more rarely now, but it was a big thing back then

[wide harness]

howya plan on doing that

[spring blaze]

Begging Ed_IT or Will Smith to do it for me instead

Otherwise I will just try to encrypt the whole rom hack

and release a bunch of code hacks and models for people to use

[jagged terrace]

How to encrypt the rom

Since ill do that

[spring blaze]

I heard there was smth, but I might have heard wrong

You can't open every rom hack with NSMBe

[jagged terrace]

When release a probable (not confirmed) 2nd ssmb demo/demo update

[wide harness]

iirc dirbaio made a code hack for it

[spring blaze]

Thought those might have been encrypted

[wide harness]

changing the game title id to something not nsmb related also prevents nsmbe from showing the bg/ts/etc tabs

[jagged terrace]

But theres the whole filesystem

And everyone can steal it

[wide harness]

everyone can steal everything anyway if they try hard enough

[stiff geyser]

i would encrypt the rom but it would be half pointless half useful lol

[jagged terrace]

People will not try that much to steal stuff

[wide harness]

encrypt the rom n they could still grab the files from a memory dump or sumn

[jagged terrace]

Tho mostly People who steal the stuff are para android kids

[wide harness]

changing the game title id i reckon would be enough to stop someone like that i reckon

[jagged terrace]

Like anwar and other People

But on the file system they can do steal stuff

Now a encrypt they will not bother

And people that know using memory dumb will not do that, since most of those people are more serious on the hacking scene

[spring blaze]

yeah but an average stealer might not know that and might not do that

[wide harness]

again i doubt someone who intends to steal would 1. know to fix the game title id 2. would wanna bother with (for example) extracting like 6 individual files for one tileset

[spring blaze]

if he/she does, then that's fine, they gonna get bombed with comments pointing out that he/she stole

[wide harness]

if you wanna obfuscate it more you chld change the file names ig

[stiff geyser]

exactly what I’m saying
it’s useful to somewhat prevent this but it’s not all that neccesary (assuming the hack is acknowledged)

[spring blaze]

Also I took some inspiration from my old cancelled hack, I kinda combined some ideas with those from ndyluigi

The plane thing was actually planned for my old hack and Ed_IT was writing it for me at the time and it was a ship similiar to the NSMBW one

Joris planned to use debris in 1-A

and I'm combining it

I would have kept the platform etc. but Imma move them to 1-5

[wide harness]

neat

[spring blaze]

I hope the trailer won't underperform as Ztardust last videos have been too despite showing a lot more than in other videos

But I guess it's my fault too, I didn't wanna show much and I'm not good at promoting 😔

[wide harness]

what if you like

rented onea those planes that got like an advertisement banner

it would be good rpomotion i think

[spring blaze]

what exactly do you mean?

Can you elaborate

[wide harness]

i was making jokeb ut this is what i was reffering to

[spring blaze]

😭 💀

The spelling mistake confused me

So I thought plane could have been another spelling mistake

[wide delta]

Wasn't Will Smith working on a tool to encrypt the rom or something like that?

[wide harness]

maybe

[spring blaze]

Don't worry, there will be almost 0 progress anyway until summer

except if Jouner wants to continue with the graphics

[mint gate]

looking great, but how did you pull off lava on the celling? Is it a custom actor or is it a hook into the liquid system

its something I have been trying to do for ages by hooking into the liqud system

[spring blaze]

Custom actor

Multiple nsbtx on the lower part, one for the big one

And it is moved along with the player

I didn't touch the liquid actor

[young dome]

i think i might be busy with school but in the best case scenario i will make every tileset that is needed

especially castle one

[spring blaze]

Nice

[spring blaze]

I basically imitated the real liquid actor as much as possible

[mint gate]

makes sense

I have been trying to do it with the real liqud actor

[spring blaze]

Yeah, no way, I was gonna do that

[mint gate]

you get a free plug

[regal mason]

I did but I decided not to release it

changed my stance

don't want a reality where everyone's locking their roms

[mint gate]

I still dont know how I feel about locking roms

[spring blaze]

🔥 🔥 🔥 thanks

[mint gate]

I think im gonna leave new++ not locked

[spring blaze]

I see

[regal mason]

I mean i think it's fine for hiding secrets, but i don't fw it at all for gatekeeping

[spring blaze]

Whats your stance on only locking the levels?

[regal mason]

ehh I think that's fine

especially if you release the key in the future

[wide delta]

Understandable, I personally don't plan locking my rom anyways, I just wish some people simply stopped grabbing assets from other hacks without their creator's authorization

(Anwarfarrouh)

[young dome]

in my case i just don't want to use my tilesets without my permission

if i make something for community specifically then yeah, i don't want people to credit me etc until it didn't take me very long and isn't for something else

like my island tileset which i would probably request people to credit me if used

@spring blaze are you plannng to make a nsmbhd post?

[spring blaze]

Yes but not today

[jagged terrace]

Yea makes sense

[stiff geyser]

oh btw
this might be a far stretch, but maybe you could try splitting the animation frames into multiple .icas, and then copy paste the frames from each .ica into a single one and then convert?

[wide delta]

You mean the tileset I made a level with and that you didn't showcase yet because you're affraid of people getting extremely jealous at my incredibly peak level design? /j

[young dome]

im planning to remake it actuallty

and probably remove the rocky part sadly

too much pain

there is alot of mstakes and i learned by that time many things

[spring blaze]

You can combine multiple icas into a single nsbca but mutliple icas in a single .ica?

[stiff geyser]

uhhh no idea 😭

[spring blaze]

When you combine multiple icas into a single nsbca

they are still seperated

[stiff geyser]

also fuzzy you should probably credit @young sable for the logo in the description (since the trailer itself doesnt have it)

[spring blaze]

and the worldmap tree one is always loading the animation at ID 0 so there is no point to add one at ID 1

[spring blaze]

Ah f, forgot him

Ok, I'm not on my PC rn, but REMINDER TO CREDIT BLUE IN THE DESCRIPTION

[stiff geyser]

@ fuglywuzzy friendly reminder

[spring blaze]

Wait, does he have a youtube channel or smth

I could link it

I am editing it on my phone rn

@stiff geyser

[stiff geyser]

wait

[spring blaze]

Otherwise I will just write Blue and make sure to credit him in the hack

I will credit him either way in the hack but I was emphasising on the description part

Done

[spring blaze]

600 views after 17 hours and 30+ subscribers

[wide delta]

Deserved

[young dome]

sigma!

hahahaha

[spring blaze]

Yeah it grew

A day isn't over yet, I hope the trend keeps up for atleast a week

[young dome]

Alright, after a day the trailer got:
845 views
75 Likes
18 comments
Fuz has now 73 subscribers

[strange iris]

what about the people who were already subscribed?

[jagged terrace]

They. Exploded

[strange iris]

me goes kaboom

[wide delta]

They unsuscribed and suscribed again

[jagged terrace]

Same for me 😨

[young dome]

Super early version of this tileset

[jagged terrace]

Looks cool

[young dome]

Also, im not sure if it was seen in the trailer but this is how the 1UP looks like, whch im very happy how it turned out

[young dome]

guys, random but im very interested on yall's opinion about the trailer and everything yall seen in it 😭 🙏

also 🗣️

[spring blaze]

Yoo let's go 🔥 🔥

And as Jouner said feedback is appreciated

Or good criticism

[mint gate]

My feedback is…

Fuzzy is better than will smith

[wide delta]

-# Hey, let's not forget who made the trailer

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/792420320933445643.gif?size=48&animated=true&name=BooWaveAnim

[strange iris]

oh you made it? nice

[regal mason]

you did great ztar

[modest wing]

Yeah congrats on that trailer. Looks amazing

[jagged terrace]

Yea the trailer is good!

I liked it

[spring blaze]

Yeah I listed him in the description, but I guess people miss it

I wouldn't have minded if he gave himself credits in the trailer

Maybe I will write a comment

I gained 60 subscribers according to youtube studio

[jagged terrace]

No

[spring blaze]

I hope 15 more so I got atleast 100

[jagged terrace]

U have more

[spring blaze]

Yeah but I had 20+ already

I gained the 60 with the trailer

And 2 days passed, so 5 more, I heard after one week, it never reached the peak

[jagged terrace]

Ohh

[spring blaze]

But who knows if Illy, ztardust etc. start posting, my content might get recommended to their fans

[jagged terrace]

Ill play the whole mod in a video

Ill not speak english in it tho (mostly my public is from portugal/spain and brazil)

[spring blaze]

Double thanks, once for playing, once for promoting

[jagged terrace]

Yw man 😉

[wide delta]

I might also upload a playthrough in my secondary channel once the hack is released

[spring blaze]

My best video atm is still the custom level (4 months ago) but it won't be soon

[wide delta]

Same for Illy's demo once she releases the definitive version

[spring blaze]

Yeah, I will do it for every mode, I'm actively following

Let me know if there are any other

[jagged terrace]

Dont test the current ssmb demo, since its pretty bad, i plan updating the demo (making a 2.0 update) with all the fixes and such, nds style, bug fixes and more

[spring blaze]

Dw I was talking about full mod release

[mint gate]

I plan on finishing my demo in a week or two when the school term is over

[jagged terrace]

@spring blaze

[young dome]

nsmbu airs...

[spring blaze]

What's up?

[stiff geyser]

1.3k views gg

[spring blaze]

[jagged terrace]

I searched "nsmbu airship" and your video was the first thing

[spring blaze]

That's good

When you enter Blazing Adventure, my hack appears

[past crescent]

It's second, nice

[spring blaze]

Yeah seems like jpg is my target group so he gets it more easily recommended

[past crescent]

He also already watched the video

[spring blaze]

True

[jagged terrace]

I watched this video a lot 😭

Everyday i watch it, no jokes

Talking about jokes i need to find a funny abril fools joke

[past crescent]

Rename yourself to PNG64

[wide delta]

PNG32

[mint gate]

At least your mod comes up when you search

The symbols in new++’s name make the algorithm not recognise it on a search

[jagged terrace]

It apears for me

It apears for me

If i search n++smb

[spring blaze]

Ouch

[regal trench]

NSMB: A Blazing Adventure

[spring blaze]

What was the previous name?

[stiff geyser]

the exact same but with a period instead of a colon lmao

[spring blaze]

But it should have been . 😟

[mint gate]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-of-wisdom-thursday-thurs-gif-16807245420300987841

I got a leak

[jagged terrace]

LMAO

[inner stirrup]

@spring blaze Will prongo be in NSMBABA?

[young dome]

Nope

[spring blaze]

No, it will not, but I think I posted the code somewhere here

[spring blaze]

So you can use it yourself if you want

I should still have the model stored somewhere

[naive garden]

nsmbaba

can we just call this baba

[jagged terrace]

No

Bros a blazing adventure is weird

[sick marsh]

You're my little child

Brazillian vinicius

[young dome]

"Baba" in polish can mean old lady

stara baba

i mean, without stara but yeah

stara/y means old

can mean*

[sick marsh]

Polish jouney

[young dome]

https://tenor.com/view/scream-love-poland-gif-10918710646251769391

-# anyway let's stop shitposting

[strange iris]

Baba is you

[naive garden]

but it's funny
it's like when "the" is removed from acronyms except here u add one :)

example: zelda ww

it's the wind waker

baba is just a cool word

[delicate lily]

I can't wait play this one and I think I'm gonna enjoy it

[spring blaze]

Glad you liked it, but I wont be able to continue working on this hack until summer, so there won't be much activity until then

[spring blaze]

Finally reached 100 subscriptions

[wide delta]

100 Abonnenten

[spring blaze]

German

[sick marsh]

congratulations!

[young dome]

make now 100 subs special

[wide delta]

Congrats for the 100 subs Fuz, you deserved it

[spring blaze]

😎 thanks

It was because of the trailer you made, I think I had less than 30 and suddenly gained a lot

[spring blaze]

I dont have much time 😭

[inner stirrup]

Fuzzy, how much % of the hack is already made?

[young dome]

50%

maybe a bit more

[spring blaze]

^ yes what Jouner said

[regal mason]

99 now

[stiff geyser]

#1 opp

[strange iris]

guess who's being executed tonight /j

[inner stirrup]

Heya! (Sorry for bumping the thread) How is the mod going?

[young dome]

https://tenor.com/view/game-roblox-development-developers-update-gif-8957033763453694325

[jagged terrace]

I have a leaked tileset to show fr fr fr

(Ill not show)

[young dome]

go to sleep jpg

(show it in dm's)

[regal trench]

I can leak all the code

It dynamically checks for JPG slop, so JPG can't use it

[young dome]

JPG would stole 80% of things and say that illy or will did it

[regal trench]

LOL

[regal mason]

dawg I probably coded like 80% of this hack

[wide delta]

Fuzzy said he won't be able to work on the hack until July, so we probably won't get any updates until then

[inner stirrup]

Oh didn't know, sorry!

[young dome]

The only updates for this hack for now can only come from me before Fuzzy comebacks but guess who didn't work at anything at all 😭

I will probably work again in late summer lol

maybe mid june

[oak mirage]

good luck

[spring blaze]

Exactly, but I might drop smth idk, we'll see

[oak mirage]

Folks, remember that I can't postpone the modding direct of this year.

You have time until July, 16th to submit a trailer if you want to participate.

[young dome]

[oak mirage]

#1352028174862516285 message

[jagged terrace]

It apears as #unknown

[oak mirage]

It's from the official discord server.

[jagged terrace]

Ahh gotcha

[oak mirage]

Since I can't share the link, you can find it on the website.

https://themoddingdirects.vercel.app/

[oak mirage]

Thank you x)

[wide delta]

How many trailers have been submitted so far?

[oak mirage]

From the beginning to nowadays, just 1. But, I know many people who are going to submit a mod for sure. So basically we will get another 5-6 mods I think.

No Idea for the other modders from the community.

Consider that there are still 2 months until the end of the submissions and that school is almost finished for the 90% of people.

[wide delta]

I might consider making a trailer for my hack

[oak mirage]

Nice!

[wide delta]

I'm usually just way too lazy to make trailers, you have to record a shitton of clips and gather them all together into a single video, which is fun but time consuming at the same time

It took me approximately 3 weeks to make the trailer for this mod

[oak mirage]

You aren't forced to rec ALL the levels you made, you can just make a 45 seconds trailer with just 3 levels and much cuts

[oak mirage]

What? You guys already got a trailer? 👀

Because if you want, as I said, you can already submit it and you are free to edit it by just changing the file from the GD link whenever you want.

Of course, always before the deadline.

[mint gate]

I’m still thinking of making one. I have so much stuff I could show that I have showcase and have not showcase but the next two months are really busy for me with school so I don’t know if I’ll be able to

[oak mirage]

Understandable...

[young dome]

Illy, imo it would give bigger popularity for your hack and it's worth it

i'd would've been cool if finally there were more hacks shown in directs for DS

[oak mirage]

This applies for everyone

Literally.

[wide delta]

Yeah, this hack already has a trailer (this one concretelly #announcements message) this trailer was made by me, Fuzzy recorded most of the clips tho

[oak mirage]

Oooh ok I thought you were speaking of a trailer you guys never published and submitted. My bad. 😭

[wide delta]

All good, lol

[mint gate]

Might be worth me reconsidering the demo release and making a trailer. And maybe making the ludwig or Iggy fight and showcasing a bit of those

[oak mirage]

You can include whatever you want in your trailer.

And again, this applies for everyone.

[wide delta]

Outta curiosity, can someone upload a trailer for more than one mod? For example, let's say someone is working on two hacks and they want to make a trailer for both, is that allowed?

[jagged terrace]

youre working on 2 mods?

[wide delta]

No

[jagged terrace]

suspicious

[wide delta]

JPG go to bed and never wake up ever again

[jagged terrace]

[young dome]

@jagged terrace next week im making the trailer

[jagged terrace]

for ztardust?

[young dome]

for you

[regal trench]

Please move to #general

[wide delta]

[spring blaze]

🔫

They evolved and are trying to take the sky for themselves

Although I really like the tileset and bg, I don't think that the color hue is a good choice

So I was thinking of moving towards redish

But it won't differ that much from other tilesets anymore

which also are mostly red/brown etc.

[regal trench]

Yoooo

That's sick

[spring blaze]

yeah, I feel like people will replay this one a lot

because it's a bit different every time since debris don't always spawn at the same spot, and those choropus also move randomly forward after shooting twice

[wide delta]

Yo, Blazing Adventure sneak peeks, let's gooo

[spring blaze]

Did you write that before or after watching pewpew

[wide delta]

After, but I had already saw this mechanic, it was included in the trailer, lmao

[spring blaze]

Not the enemy tho

[regal mason]

wow

[spring blaze]

🦫

[regal mason]

the plane texture makes them look a bit flat I think

take a look at monty tank

[wide delta]

Ok, you caught me, I haven't watched the entire video, lmao

This is cool as hell

It must have taken decades to code this

[spring blaze]

yeah, I agree, texture was inspired by it, but it ended up flat

I'll have to annoy Jouner

[regal mason]

[spring blaze]

I wasn't counting the time, but code is 400 lines

[regal mason]

oh is this why you were asking me how to stop the player from moving or whatever

[spring blaze]

yeah

Sadly still running into some issues

can't play the level a second time after entering the airplane

because player gets locked in the pose for some reason when I play any level afterwards

Why not make it harder and have them on the side where they can't be hurt

Why not make it harder and have them on the side where they can't be hurt

[stiff geyser]

damn this is epic lmao

[mint gate]

The Monty’s in the plane are dope, looks like I’m going to change the Monty’s in clown cars for my Ludwig fight now though as I don’t want to take away from ur hack

[spring blaze]

Opsie

But thanks

Tho it wouldnt matter that much

I think they are pretty different and mine is going to be released before yours

When do you even plan to release?

[mint gate]

Do yours throw bombs?

Just curious

[mint gate]

Probably n a few years lol

[spring blaze]

Nah, it doesn't

Only airplanes and I was thinking whether I should make some fall from the sky with a parachute because there is a "no airplane section" in the level

[wide harness]

neato

wish the plane movement was a touch less rigid tho

[ember echo]

Cool! Was It Based On The Sky Pop Level From Super Mario Land?

[wide delta]

Yes

[spring blaze]

I will work on it when I'm done with all the exams in June

[wide harness]

gotcha

[mint gate]

I just noticed how simmiler our cannon balls look lmao

[wide harness]

are they both using the unused w6 icon

[mint gate]

mine is

and I think fuz is too

[young dome]

I wanted to make it better back then since I seen already that it's pretty plain but I didn't say anything since idk what you would say 😭

Imo I think this level would ve been better if it had a small zoom since it's pretty tight

[past crescent]

The clouds aren't solid?

[spring blaze]

Yeah it's yours but scaled even more down

[spring blaze]

Semi-solid. You think it's odd?

[mint gate]

fair lol, mines massive, I had the extra vram in the levels its used in though so I decided to keep it like this for those people who play on emulator and have the game scaled up

[past crescent]

Well, I thought they would be solid when I saw them

Both in the way they looked and how they were placed

Typically semi-solids have a really distinct looking topside

[jagged terrace]

In ds they are pretry much a darker version of the ground so its alright ig

Such on w6 levels

Or some w2 levels

[young dome]

this looks like 64x64

why not 32x32?

[stiff geyser]

agreed tbh it caught me off guard too that it’s semisolid and not solid

[jagged terrace]

Its 32x32

Iirc

[strange iris]

i thought it was a hitbox bug

[spring blaze]

@young dome we'll have to do smth about this

[past crescent]

I don't really remember any semi solids like that

Got any screenshots?

[stiff geyser]

my closest guess is the mountain ledge tiles but those have a very light top .p

tho there’s also other nsmb styled tilesets that do the whole darker ground thing too (custom ones not vanilla ones)

[spring blaze]

I was thinking of having them separate as semi solid and clouds "inside the ground" for decoration purpose

[fierce elbow]

I love the Broken Pier look of this

(Also, probably unintentional, but the cloud gives me Drawn to Life vibes)

[midnight lagoon]

Has this mod been released yet?
I remember seeing an trailer but i dont remember if its just a teaser or release trailer

[spring blaze]

Teaser

It hasn't been released yet

But I post stuff from time to time, as I did just recently, just scroll up a bit

[midnight lagoon]

Yeah i saw

[spring blaze]

Does Youtube hate me or does youtube hate me

Shouldve been more but I think it's still not properly being recommended to nsmb fans

And my subscribers died

[wide delta]

Community posts don't really seem to get recommended as often as videos or shorts I believe

[spring blaze]

Aight

Then I will take a video later at some point and post it

[wide delta]

And if you want a community post to get more attention you should probably post videos more often to get more audience

[mint gate]

Oh yeah it does that

I can share the post if u want

[spring blaze]

Nah chill, it's fine

I will keep posting stuff anyway when I start working again

Unlike the time pre trailer

[jagged terrace]

Ill share

[spring blaze]

Im just thinking, how much I should add

[jagged terrace]

Done

[spring blaze]

I keep seeing all this great content and I feel like adding even cooler stuff but I gotta control myself

I don't think it's gonna be worth it, when it's a single world and a non-original theme

And it might seem like Im trynna flex with custom actors

[spring blaze]

Thanks (wasn't needed tho)

[jagged terrace]

Yw!

[stiff geyser]

too relay table

[spring blaze]

Oh and the main reason, I want to release atleast one hack before I leave the modding scene

I think I will leave it fully when those are done (+ Bester's one)

i'll be just staying low and adding a lot of public resources, helping out, tutorials etc.

Been trying to release a hack for 6 years already

[jagged terrace]

How much is done rn

[spring blaze]

Atleast 50%

When I'm working again, I will have a strict plan

I will start completely finishing one level after another (design, tileset, bg)

Until Tower is done

And then start creating remaining ones

Oh and music, if I can find a composer, I'll have to ask ztardust for help

[wide harness]

if you wanna promote your hack just like post it everywhere

yt vids, related discords, forums, a project twitter, maybe even a gb page if you want

wonder how receptive tiktokd be to nsmb hack vids actually

[spring blaze]

Yeah, it looks like I have to promote non-stop

Gonna do that after the exams

I'll be spamming

[wide delta]

Just be like JPG, he promotes his hack everywhere every single time even in other hack's channels

[wide delta]

I really doubt TikTok would reach a high audience in terms of NSMB hacking

[regal mason]

Nah it might

[jagged terrace]

Tiktok smh explodes every video view count

So it probably would make the video popular

[young dome]

i would join that too lmao

man, i need to start planning the next tilesets

i really liked recently anythign else than tilesets, it's so fun

-# sometimes

[midnight lagoon]

just show a toilet with a fucking gmod man head for 0.2 seconds and it will go kaboom in popularity

[wide delta]

How many romhackers or people interested in NSMB mods use TikTok that you know of?

I haven't heard of the first person in here that uses TikTok

If nobody uses it, there's no audience, it's simple as that

And we are in an era where you have to show the ass or boobs or do cringe dances or dumb shit to get popularity, that's how the internet works

[jagged terrace]

That was really unnescessary

And tbh its not that youre interested in it or not, it will give audience and people will see it, thats simple as it is, you dont need to be interested in smth to tiktok show it to you, its not how the algoritim of tiktok works

Its not youtube

Nor yt shorts

There was no reason to be that rude with him

[wide delta]

I was not being rude

Or at least, that was not my intention, that's just the way TikTok usually works

[young dome]

i don't find zstar messege rude

[wide delta]

Gonna start having to put a happy face at the end of every single message of mine so that people stops thinking that I'm being rude :)

[midnight lagoon]

Hi Mr. Ztardust moderator

[past crescent]

Good idea

All you guys' projects look bad :)

[wide delta]

I don't give a single fuck :)

[jagged terrace]

Okay, this is getting offtopic already

JPG shoo

[jagged terrace]

Ops sent image in the wrong channel mb 😭

nsmbaba, new super mario bros a bulshit adventure

trolefunny

[regal mason]

Then put a bitch shaking ass in the corner to keep people's attention

But seriously, tiktok is bigger than that

[jagged terrace]

LMAO

[regal mason]

I've seen some smw kaizo videos pop off, so if fuzzy posts a video of a harder level it might do well

[jagged terrace]

I watch a lot of sm64 and smw videos there its better than yt shorts

My yt shorts only recomend me AI slop, and i dont even find it funny

[wide delta]

SMW is not the same as NSMB, SMW has a much bigger community and kaizo videos capture people's attention much more easily, specially since there are some well-known content creators who always upload several of those videos, like Ryukahr or Firsnamebutt

[wide delta]

Omw to upload a video of my hack to TikTok with a Subway Surfers gameplay or a Minecraft parkour gameplay in the bottom

[spring blaze]

Giving me ideas for free, thanks

[spring blaze]

I could trick people and the algorithm

I actually focus on family guy clips

And nsmbaba clips sonewhere on the side

And people will be asking in the comments what the game is and then I just tell them and pin my comment

[mint gate]

My brother has shown me literal videos of people just playing nsmbds levels that have 100k+ likes on it

[spring blaze]

😿 me want this

[spring blaze]

I need your opinion on this tileset

It was strongly inspired by a Mario Kart Course I dont know which one

My issue with this tileset is that it doesn't go well with an aircraft and meteorites falling because the colors differ too much (red and blue is not really a good combo)

So I wanted to recolor it brown-ish

Or red-ish

Not final

Would this look better?

[strange iris]

i think it would fit more (with the meteors), yeah

[young dome]

about the meteorites maybe you could write a codehack for having specific level texture, probably the best way to fix it

[spring blaze]

But blue-hued meteorites dont really make sense

[strange iris]

it could just be the atmosphere causing the color i guess?

or maybe the rocks are just blue? i mean i'm pretty sure the meteors come from the rocks that were part of the volcano, and that were detached during the explosion

[naive garden]

the blue tileset has more contrast

so theres that imo

[wide delta]

Didn't you make a blue volcano background to make it fit with the tileset? I remember seeing that in the trailer

[strange iris]

i think yes, and that it's mostly the meteors that don't fit

it's probably better to change the meteors than the whole environment

[wide delta]

At that point I feel it might be better to just use the tileset in another level

I feel like that tileset could fit in some sorta "extinct" volcano level with water

[stiff geyser]

this is mario fyi

[young dome]

Im feeling like the tower tileset shouldn't be gray, especially due to that the original NSMB has every castle/tower level pretty colourful, here i tried giving it a more green-ish hue that is pretty dark. What do yall think about it?

Ofc, the final decision of changing this colours tileset is by Fuzzy

[mint gate]

make it more green

but yeah, the green does make it look nice

jur dont get to carried away with the green like I did here lol

[past crescent]

That's a tower tileset?

Looks like a castle

[young dome]

the castle one will look completaly different

[past crescent]

Make the castle look like a tower

[young dome]

no

it would've been boring

[wide delta]

A tower tileset doesn't necessarily need to be just blocks, you can break that tradition

[past crescent]

A house can look like anything, but when you think about what a house looks like, I think we all pretty much picture the same thing

[stiff geyser]

i see your point lol

[past crescent]

You can say that a house doesn't look like a house, even if it still is one

[stiff geyser]

tho ultimately i don’t think it’s a big deal to change how tower tilesets usually look like especially when the new version has the potential of looking better and more unique

[past crescent]

I wasn't critiquing anything

More like just stating my surprise

[stiff geyser]

yeah ik, just wanted to point that out .p

[wide delta]

That doesn't necessarily mean that all the tower levels in all hacks should look the same, it's always refreshing to try new things, and I personally understand if someone wants to try something different since tiling tower levels usually is a pain

[past crescent]

I agree with the first part

Last part is just a skill issue

[young dome]

i hate the design personally of original tower levels

tho i really like the colours

[past crescent]

You mean tilesets?

[young dome]

yeah

[past crescent]

Just DS tower tileset or also the tilesets of the later games

And what do you not like about them, if I may ask

[wide delta]

I mean, the tower tileset in the original game is just purple and gray blocks and nothing else, so it's understandable

The tower tileset in vanilla is also disorganized as hell for some reason

[stiff geyser]

more like pale blue blocks, but yeah that’s pretty much all it is lol

[wide harness]

unrelated but did anything prompt a house being used for this example specifically

[past crescent]

It's just a really standard type of building

I think it just sounds right for an example

[wide harness]

gotcha

[regal mason]

https://youtu.be/Ts_0kr_rR_w?si=_1K1btzFey1iPl3r

Fuzzy

We need some nsmb ds representation

[spring blaze]

Yo, I'm back. I like the new hue of the tower tileset.

Yeah I will see what I can do, I got one more exam this month and then I can work on the hack again for atleast 2 months

[jagged terrace]

Kaze emanuar

He announced the f3 on his server but im too dumb and idk what it is 😭

[wide harness]

id assume its like e3 but for fangames/romhacks

[jagged terrace]

OOO

Makes sense

[spring blaze]

I am done with the final exam

Time to grind again and I will be posting more progress unlike the time before the trailer release

[jagged terrace]

Post a video including every cool stuff u added in the mod

[spring blaze]

Yeah, will do smth like that

[jagged terrace]

YEAAA

[spring blaze]

Worst thing that can happen in 1-1

Literally getting bullied

[young dome]

Footage of JPG getting bullied in NSMBC

[strange iris]

by curiosity, are they reusing some of the snailicorns' code?

[spring blaze]

I try to get rid of such section, because you literally can't do anything until the bully pushes you into the other bully and it falls off

Nope, but actually I might look into it to deal with bully-bully collision idk

Do snailicorns collide with each other?

[strange iris]

idk about that

it's just that snailicorns seem to be somewhat similar to bullies, except for the fact that they damage you instead of pushing you

[spring blaze]

Yeah, I heard that often, but nah code is written completely from scratch

That's the second actor I came up with I think

Needed something cool for wobbly lifts and wobble rocks

[strange iris]

okay then

[spring blaze]

Got any favourite level from the trailer?

[young dome]

the factory one

[spring blaze]

This one gonna be fun to play, tried to think of many creative ideas to make use of the factory blocks

[young dome]

I'm sure of it

[spring blaze]

1-1: The Bully’s Playground
1-2: Lava’s Up and Downs
1-3: Abandoned Factory
1-Tower: Bowser Jr.’s Climbing Frame
1-4: Thermal Departure
1-5: ??? (I don't know yet)
1-A: Soaring through Volcanic Ashes
1-Castle: Bowser's Castle

Names for the levels

[spring blaze]

Even Mega Mario gets bullied

[spring blaze]

I'm done with the level design for 1-1, I'll only make a few tweaks

Gotta work on bully because they act weirdly when colliding with each other

I'm predicting that this will be the most annoying and intense part of the level

[strange iris]

are the zones for the bullies?

[mint gate]

im guessing actor 20 is the bully

[spring blaze]

No for lava to make it raise

[mint gate]

zone checks if there is an enemy in there

[spring blaze]

No, actor 20 is actor spawner which will spawn the bully

[mint gate]

close enough

so do you need to murder four bullies to progress

[spring blaze]

That was the initial goal but I realized that Imma failure, so now you need to stay alive long enough

[mint gate]

skill issue

[spring blaze]

I mean its the estimated time to kill all bullies

Otherwise you will be bumped into lava

[mint gate]

just make an actor that checks if there is any bullies in an active collider, if not spawn one and when contact with that bully ends increment a counter and spawn another one then after x amount have been murdered by the red plumber triger the event id

[spring blaze]

Or instead of wasting my precious time, I just leave it as is

Dont need to make an actor for every idea

Gotta live with the limits

It's mostly @regal mason 's fault anyway

Should have written a better actor spawner

[wide delta]

Erm, akshually, Actor Spawner was originally written by RicBent ☝️🤓

[spring blaze]

I am using smith's version

[strange iris]

Erm akshually, we say "written" instead of "wrote" when saying "was" before because it's the past participle ☝️🤓

[mint gate]

@regal mason when are you going to slap fuzy like u did to chris rock

[spring blaze]

Erm erm berm 🤓

I'll be reworking on 1-1's background

Could use that for NSMB ABA volcano BG Evolution

[young dome]

I gotta try making a volcano In blender somebdat

[regal mason]

What's its issue

[jagged terrace]

They have the name of the bully in the files, wich mean that at some point it was in fact a bully

[jagged terrace]

LMAOOOOOOOOO

[strange iris]

oh that's interesting

[jagged terrace]

Yea true, i saw it first when looking at sm64 and am64ds files, then in tcrf

Nsmb tcrf i mean

[spring blaze]

Ohh I didn't know that

[spring blaze]

Everything, remake it at this point

[stiff geyser]

whats troubling bout it

[spring blaze]

Jokes aside, the most annoying part is that it doesn't self-deactivate the event, so it keeps spawning

[stiff geyser]

oh yeah i added a line in code to destroy the actor after it spawns the first time lmao

[spring blaze]

Had to use event buffer which self deactivates after a certain ticks

[spring blaze]

Nah, it should be an option, but tbh I could add it myself

Im too lazy tho

Dont wanna touch code again so quickly

[regal mason]

I think the reason that isn't a thing is cause there's no more free sprite data

And cause it's easy to deactivate the event with another event sprite

[spring blaze]

Easy? What's the best way to deactivate

[wide harness]

iirc i think when an event is triggered while said event is active it deactivates

[spring blaze]

I'd need to see a setup

But no worries, I managed it anyway in a different way

[spring blaze]

Just a reminder that my hack is not dead, but I cant find time to work on it. I will see what I can do.

I can do more during the holidays

[wide delta]

Take all the time you need with this hack, remember that a rushed project is never good

[thorn snow]

download?

[wide delta]

This hack is not released yet

[thorn snow]

ok

[compact lava]

why do people keep asking this 😭

[daring bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/utmp-download-link-gif-23167029

We need a Luigi version of this

But with the caption

[spring blaze]

Hopefully at some point, hopefully...
