This is great, though the special exits feel a bit weird, I think thats the best we can get.

I found out that if 1 player play 4-4, it's fine
if 2 players play 4-4, black screen after loading

Ok I will try to find out what is wrong. We have had a lot of problems with the level because of the seamless scrolling that is hardcoded into the game engine.

Testing 04-04.arc (4.53 KB)

1:1 accuracy is perfect

Only problem is the zone height, Y position should be 320 and Y size needs to be 224, not 227

New Version......

04-04v4.arc http://www.mediafire.com/?ynyz0xzmoyf

Made the zone changes as suggested by canadax21

Fixed lava pit at beginning to look like 2 pits,
added text at end

04-04v5.arc

you need the custom tilesets in ur iso to make it work

V5 still didn't fix the problem
it still crash if it's in 2 players mode ( black screen at start)
it's fine with 1 player

Is it only this level that crashes multiplayer?

I have an iso with everything inserted and up to date, i'll try it our tonight with multiplayer.

I've played the entire game with 3 people, and had no problems with anything

Edit: I was using this version

That's another new version?? Oh well time to update again lol

Make sure you have the latest version of this https://originalsmbw.forumotion.com/custom-tilesets-f19/standard-tileset-update-t104.htm installed there was a missing tileset that was causing problems.

Edit: Didn't notice that you said it already works in 1 player. Try using v6 and see if that works.

Its hardly an update, I just made the first area look a little bit more like the actual level to mask the area switch a little

tested V6
finally no crash on 2 players+

make the screen at the end being centered i mean the text.

Neat level i don't like it that you see what way you have to go at the end...

Also stupid: if you run left at the start and then right you come into a warp point.

And: The fireballs are shooting way too early

Last thing: There is a ability to make those ways with scroll... Isn't it possible to do the same without scrolling?

No, its hard-coded in to World 2 - castle

something like "hard-coded" is crazy. There is a way to copy that. There must be one!

(except Nintendo made some variables that only allow it in that level which would be over rated)

Ok..........so we'll say this.....Currently there is no way to alter the variables that nintendo put in.

Even tho it is still "hard coded" into that level, cos thats the only one that has given us problems.

I guess we'll have to stick with this version till the programmer of Reggie programs "that".

Exactly. Althought it may never happen.

Basically the correct and incorrect path through 2-castle is hardcoded into the engine. If you replace 2-castle with a normal level a lot of really wierd things can happen that is why we added a corridor to the beginning with a area change. I played around with 2-castle a lot trying to find a way to make it work with no success. As far as I know we can't change the correct path without asm hacking. If someone finds a way to do it then we would implement it but I dont think it's worth the time right now.

This.

In theory it's there but invisible. We can't see it.
