Here, have an open source engine, For MMF2, Probably won't get finished

From the comments in the mfa:

It only has basic features implemented, but it could be used as a learning tool for those of you more interested in understanding how Multimedia Fusion 2 works. I wish I could include an exe for you guys to test out, but I lack the full version of MMF2 right now (I'm working off the demo, which lets you save mfas but not build exes).

Haha, with a post like this, I don't expect anybody to actually use it, now!

It's provided as-is. I'm pretty terrible at being a teacher, so... uh. If you don't know how something works, just... uh. Try to figure it out on your own!

I can't play it right now, but if I remember correctly, you made blue twilight DX, which means has to be good.

OMG.

This is terrific.
10/10

I think my Fusion 2 is screwed because he keeps falling through the floor (and I immediately checked to see if Disable When Far Away was on, and it's not for any player objects)

Please, finish it. MMF2 needs more love. Also i would am going to uise it in my game if you finish.

Can somebody else make an exe? I don't have mmf2.

Hey, Blaze, you could improve your engines a lot if you used loops, it's a lot more accurate for collisions.

This.

Did you... try the mfa at all?

Because, uh:




I use loops quite a bit, now and have for a loooong time.

I'm Sorry, mario was landing at different depths through the floor quite a few times so it looked as if you didn't he also shakes when you walk into an object...They are usually problems of not using fast loops.

edit: I guess it's because you didn't check for overlapping properly during the loops. If you check the collisions during the loops you won't end up with a stuttering effect against walls because it'll check before the image updates. I might make a tutorial for this soon =)

if you move the "Basic Mario Physics" group above the "Start of the Game" one, that keeps the camera from shaking when Mario does (the reason for this is because you had some of your positioning events out of order; since the detectors' and mario's positions are based off "Player Object", its positioning events need to come before the ones for the other objects [in your original engine, its positioning events came after the others, so if you unhid the hidden objects, you'd see that they lagged behind])

as stated, this only fixes the camera... easy bug to overlook

oh and the reason mario shakes is because he's trying to change his angle, and you have no implementation to prevent that if he's running against a wall

Hey someone mind making an EXE? I'd kinda like to try this.

still has the "moonslide" bug but (both) shaking problems are fixed

I'm over it. :P I play all my fangames primarily with a gamepad, so holding down both left and right at the same time isn't possible (which means I rarely bother to check for it).
