Please play around with the editor and report every bug you can find. Also, suggestions are open for new editor keybinds since right now some keys do two different things (example: holding S opens the camera stops menu, which is not yet implemented, and turns on Y lock) Please note that the project is not (yet) a full-fledged SMS build because at this stage I've only added the sprites which needed to be modified. KNOWN BUGS - The BG editor doesn't have the capability to actually edit the BG - The level editor cannot see the number of rooms in a stage, nor can it create new items in BG/music lists - The "Welcome to the Scralaxy" text doesn't pop up TEST 3 CHANGELOG - Added a new level editor - Added back Dev Mode. It takes up half the assets it took up in 0.7.4. - Removed Captain Toad and Time Attack - Temporarily removed some sprites (such as the pause menu) as they are not the focus of this test release - Many more changes ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: While Super Mario Scralaxy is technically a scrolling game, internally it is more of a screen-based game which a scrolling game then runs on top of. The game needs a "current screen" variable to function, and a clear distinction between scrolling levels and screen-based levels. This "developement branch" aims to change that. When this project is complete, the game will become a natively scrolling game. This will save many assets (such as backgrounds, which currently still use a screen-based system) and will allow for much more lightweight player and ground sprites. How does this thing achieve its purpose? Well, NG literally stands for New Ground lol. The Ground sprite is built from scratch (as well as the parallaxes sprite) and the objects/enemies will be edited in future test releases to work with that. I also plan to eventually adapt the old level editor to scrolling, since it also uses the old screen system. There isn't much currently, as I still gotta program in a new spawn system for objects. However you can still play around in empty levels and use the level editor. Make sure to report any bugs!
