Sixth patch
Summary
Sixth patch of Snapshot 29 (named v8.beta29.6) released 14 February 2025. This modifies the option for cloud synchronization to be enabled by default.
Changes
[1]
Interface changes:
"Pick a theme" screen ("Create a level" section): For logged-in users, the "LSS cloud synchronization" label is replaced with "Create & synchronize my level on Level Share Square". For logged-out players, a label is added reading "You are not logged into Level Share Square. With an account, you can enable cloud backups for your level."
Tweaks
Cloud backups are enabled by default for logged-in users (option to disabled them still provided)
Inventory/Item Reserve system (SMW): Super Mario obtaining a third-tier power-up (e.g. Fire Flower/Super Leaf) will no longer stock an empty inventory with a Super Mushroom. This was done for balancing reasons, since taking damage with a third-tier power-up already reverts Mario to his Super form (unlike in SMW) for accessibility.
The character limit for custom music links has been increased.
The game can now read custom music from the root folder the game is contained in, which is useful for testing music locally (or without an internet connection) on the desktop versions. You can for example drag a folder called 'customMusic' to the game folder, and then enter '/customMusic/my_music.webm' in the custom music source URL field.
