how do you install this extra graphics pack?

You just have to download the graphics pack into whatever directory you want on your harddrive. I keep it in Downloads. The pack is it's own separate library of graphics that you copy into your SMBX Level folders. They simply rewrite the preset graphics of the engine.

When the P-switch timer runs out, you can't exit the secret room you entered without suicide. :(

P-switch nothing! There isn't a warp there at all! I must have deleted it on accident. Thanks for pointing it out!

Have any of you guys put a custom music track into the editor and it just won't play?

This has happened to me but I don't know what causes it. I think it's something to do with the quality of MP3 you use: I once tried to use some Metroid Prime rips, but there was always a 5 second delay before the track started.

Fixed.

Make a non-linear western rpg shooter starring a black-colored machamp with sunglasses, a fedora and two pairs of twin 8mm pistols, who can target the individual body parts of enemy pokemon using Lightning Time to slow down combat and aim

But seriously, everyone's telling you to do what you want so that you get more practice at coming up with ideas. If you want to make a pokemon game, make a pokemon game you would want to play. Spice it up with your own unique brand of humor.

Next time, I get to proofread the rules.

I think Metal Harbor actually died

I agree. I think it would be better for you to start over from scratch. You could try and fix it up, but I don't think it's worth the effort in this case.

A tip I can give you is to segement your levels more. You didn't pace this one well because you have two Sections of giant screens that are only used for parts where you have to go up or down a-ways into the level. You should break the level up into multiple smaller sections to avoid this. That climb up the scaffolding should have been it's own Section, for instance.

But I think you should try a simple left-to-right level first. I have a hunch you need more practice adding content in one direction, before you start thinking of branching out. (Like don't have a bunch of HAMMAHS in a row with nothing else there.)

event to trigger

The best way to do it would be apa's way (with a nearby npc Activating it) if the lava section is linear. You could also trigger it with the Axe npc if you're entering through a door. Put it over the door the player will enter. And have the event trigger on the axe's Death. That way, the event is triggered with no noise or visible trigger.

Moreover. You can make Axes invisible for further eventing shenanigans. I can provide anyone with an invisible Axe if they need one for their level.
