The Mario Bros 3 Open Source Engine (i Lost Count), 3rd most downloaded wip on yoyo, heh, enough for me Options

[djrellik]

Seeing how it's ignored on this topic makes me realise how this place is pointless. By the way, it's also the top rated wip on 64digits and the most downloaded thing by 2.3k which is 50% more than the #2 (yep it's that awesome). I know you don't care but I can't stop laughing about it.

Anyway, I don't know what are the unexpected errors, but I don't really care anymore, just get gamemaker 6.1. It works with it, and it does pretty much the same things anyway.

----------------------------------------
(http://64digits.com/users/djrellik/Mario_B...ne_7_beta_3.zip)a real last version I released for a few people that cared.

There I'm not editing the whole topic, the engine is discontinued, and here's the last version

November 20th: Things has been improved but I've especially added gamepad support. The problem is that it's the first time I do this and my gamepad isn't really good, so I'd need some people to test it to see if it works correctly for everyone. Post:266

October 31st: Removed every single solid block, currently running 35-40% faster than it did before. Post:243

October 21st: Started working on the speed issues. Post: 236

May 15th 2007:Ok the beta of the new version is out. There is still a good ammount of stuffs to fix but I don't really have to time for now so I thought it would might be a good idea to release a beta.


Well it's pretty hard to explain what it got in a topic but what I can tell you is that I made my best to make most of the things as close as possible to the original game. I've also put the music that I rip but that I didn't use. Feel free to use them if you need them, if you can understand how it work. I used the JBFMOD dll which you can find here on gm, just run a search if you want to know how to use it. But you just have to put the right music object to run a song that is already there. By the way the game is currently running very slow for some people. I'm really sorry for this and I'm currently working to fix this.

There is a few things to take in note.

-If I'm making this engine, it's to let people that aren't really good enough with gamemaker to make a mariobros 3 clone. It's like hacking a mariobros 3 rom except that you have control over everything here. And as someone who like playing hacked roms, I would love to see some games created with it

-This engine isn't really ready to make a full game yet. It still have some glitchs and you won't be able to switch to another version if you start making something with it.

-It doesn't have any help files saying how the engine work so I hope you'll be able to understand how everything works. It used to have one but it is outdated. I'll maybe make a short one when I'll release a real version.

-Please understand that you need a good knowledge of gamemaker to be able to use it. Don't think you'll be able to use it if you still haven't made a decent game yet.

-Other than that, you can see the control in the game info(F1) don't forget that


By the way don't claim this work your own. Let people knows if you use somethings from it or if you made a game with it, ok? Well I hope you will. Not that I mind that much, considering the fact that I barely play people's game anymore but it would be nice. I've put a lot of work in this engine. Also please change my levels if you are going to make a game with it


Duffman540 have been nice enough to spread the idea of advertising my engine in people's signature. If you think it would worth it and would want to support me, here is the codes.

Sweet. Alot of people wanted this to be ported to gm6. And madee 60 fps will be better for alot of stuff also. I did not find any collision errors but when you jump to get a leaf and then transform into racoon mario.

[djrellik]

Yeah thanks, it's also something I wanted to do for a long time but unfortunately I had to wait to get my own computer.

I did not find any collision errors

oh sorry not errors, I meant problems, but it is especially about when you jump on a block while moving, sometime mario stop before hitting it.

And about the raccoon mario it's because that I didn't make it for the game. For the levels desing I'll make, I don't want to include it. I'll probably make an open source version after the game will be finished so maybe that I'll program it for it. It's not really something that hard anyway.

nice work making this engine, runs good. I am also perfecting my platform game/engine. try it out and give me a shout back in my topic (in my signiture). we can probably help each other out alot

[Abras]

If only i were making a mario game...

Like New Super Mario Bros Game
any more super mario level on gmd and gm6.

[djrellik]

Huh?.... well whatever, thanks for the comment pro pro but I prefer doing working by myself

[QuickQ13]

Cool game, but its SUCH an overused idea. I mean, its Mario...it just gets old...sry

[djrellik]

Well, overused? Yeah of course, It was overused when I first started it in 2004 and it is still today. But what I want to do is a game where people would really feel that they are playing the original game. Not a game with basic coding in which random mario bros sprites have been intergrated. This is the difference. I always loved mario bros 3 nes hacks that you can find on the web and that's kinda what I wanted to do, but in gamemaker. A game with the same engine but new levels. As I guy who played a lot Mario Bros 3 when I was young, that's the kind of game I'd like to see, so that's why I'm making one.

Neway, did you play it? Because so far it's not game, it's just an engine

[Witch Craft Game...]

Cool, I hope you acomplish your goal!

[discjockykid]

I'm not sure if you have thought of this but how about making a clone of all the levels and adding levels of your own in? And how about your own powerups so it's like a revised version of SM3

[CKY2K]

Will you ever public release the engine? I'm dieing for a good mario engine



BTW if you want precise timing on some things, like how long a turtle stays in its shell, or how long your flight time is supposed to last, ask me, I got the hex values which you can translate into the decimal system to find out how many steps it takes before the effect occures.

Only just seeing this now..
*verrrry* nice indeed! Great work.. plays identical to supermariobros3! Seems like you`re a real fan of mario3! I reckon you`re probably right in choosing mario3 as the "definitive" mario movement engine.. (it`s alot better than mario1 or 2 or even New Super Mario Bros which slows down things & changes alot sadly.. the only other mario game with a possibly better movement system is Marioworld.. though I`m really feeling this Mario 3 engine of yours.. keep up the fantastic work!
PS: It says alot about your love for the source game & your dedication to the project that you`ve kept going with it all this time! If you ever need any help with level design or anything.. let me know (I used to make levels with Lunar Magic for Marioworld a few years ago & could come up with some decent layouts)
PPS: 1st suggestion: release the source so we`ll finally be rid of all the atrocious mario games that appear on the forum! (^-^)
2nd suggestion: why not use the original NES graphics for this? I`ve always thought they were so much stronger than the SNES remake graphics...

Nice work, as before djrellik. Ran flawlessly. One thing... In the control setting, you misspelled "assigning" as "assing". Something you may want to fix. Hehe.

[Charlie_Nut_Sak]

mastered it dude!! great job!!!!!!!!!!!! total awesomeness

[CKY2K]

Ok here's the list
these are 100% accurate if the steps per second is now 60.

Stay-in-shell time = 255

Tanooki Mario stature time = 192

Flying Time = 128 (note that about around 10 that the flying will stop and you'll float in a straight horizontal line when hitting flying button until it reaches 0)

P-Switch duration = 128

Ice block melt time = 128

Multi-coin block time - 200 (note that in SMB3 that it will only go up to 11 and no higher)

White block platform time (the white block that when you push down, you'll go behind scenery, this is the time it takes till you fall through the block when pushing down) = 201

White block platform duration (time that you're behind scenery) = 240

Thanks to DahrkDaiz for finding these in the rom.


Anyways, I love this, it's very more accurate than the previouse system.

Haha good to know, I've improved my english a lot since the day I started using gamemaker but I still have a few problems at some places(thanks to my crappy english teacher, I got to learn everything by myself ) I'll fix it thanks

Really cool thanks, I'd love to be able to hack it myself to find these sort of value. The only thing I have to help me is a program that make the program run at the speed I want. I do have an hex editor though but the only thing I ever been able to do by myself with it is edit nes game save states. What I'd love to know though is things such as the exact speed that mario go when he walk or run, what acceleration, friction, gravity ect. I feel that mines are really close to the original but they still aren't exact.

Where did you find these values anyway?

PPS: 1st suggestion: release the source so we`ll finally be rid of all the atrocious mario games that appear on the forum!

Yeah, seeing how people loved my engine 2 years ago that's sure something I want to do. But I'd prefer wait until the game is finished before doing so. So I won't have to edit two engine at the same time.

2nd suggestion: why not use the original NES graphics for this? I`ve always thought they were so much stronger than the SNES remake graphics...

Hmm that could be a good idea for those that really loved the classic mario bros 3 but I'm pretty sure that everyone else would prefer to see snes sprites instead than nes. And also it would take me too much time to, first find every nes sprites I need to replace those I use, and then replace them.

mastered it dude!! great job!!!!!!!!!!!! total awesomeness

Yeah thanks a lot!

Thanks you Dadio, great comment as always heheh. I'm really happy to see that you found it that good. I personally find that Mario Bros 3 got one of the best movement engine made in any 3d platformer. It's so smooth, you don't move either too fast or too slow, you get a perfect control over Mario and everything respond perfectly. Mario World's movement system is very similar to Mario bros 3, the main difference I found is that Mario stay less longer in the air and Mario got a much better acceleration. But I even personally prefer Mario bros 3's one, I always found it easier to control.
