I totally agree.
And it's kinda hard to fix something that you didn't want to paste over.
*starts working on hack*
Damn! I went back to making my beach level, and when I loaded the ExGFX, the slopes got all glitchy and in the wrong palette! What's up with that? |

See the thing is, you'll need to use ExGFX files that are mostly the same as the normal GFX files that are in those spaces, only with new things over the things you don't use in those levels.
As for what ZTaimat said, you CAN edit them in LM if you load the graphics in to a level, but it probably would be better to use an external tile editor like YY-CHR (because LM's built-in tile editor kinda sucks and isn't terribly good when switching between several different things). |

And how exactly would I do that? I can't insert anything else; BG1 is the space tileset, FG3 is the doomship foreground, changing FG2 glitches my background, and changing FG1 glitches Yoshi coins, some blocks and pipes.
@ZTaimat: You mean all I have to do is open the files in YY-CHR, edit them or whatever and then reinsert them in LM? Because as far as I know, you can't edit OW tiles in Lunar Magic itself. |

What are you talking about? He never once mentioned the overworld. |

 Heh...
4) To make OW tiles, open the OW GFX in lunar magic, (GFX1C,1D,1E) change it then:
1] press F9
2] Click "insert GFX (Green 'shroom icon)
3] Exit LM and re-open it to see if your changes are made.

I see... I was slightly confused there. You didn't say exactly what you meant. Yeah, you can't really add new things to GFX files. Be careful replacing the bush tiles, though, because if you do, it means you'll also have to overwrite the default castle entrance with something else or else it'll look fairly awful, since the castle entrance uses a bush. This isn't at all difficult, mind you, it's just unnecessary work. Honestly, I would just put the new stuff in ExGFX. |

No, Kyouji. I did use F9, and it still happens! I think it's because the GFX file won't accept any more data (the GFX files were already 4 KB in size). However I redrew the tiles and replaced them with the bush tiles, and that seems to work.
@Super Koopa and Smallhacker: Hey, thanks! I'll put you in the 'Special Thanks' section of the end credits

I wish I had the time to explain everything, but eh, I'm in class right now, so I'll just do the easiest  Originally posted by Cirvante
4) Other tiles that I made myself also disappear when I reload the ROM; maybe it has something to do with putting them in blank spaces?
Press F9 to save it. It doesn't automatically, or when you save the level. |

He didn't use BT. As far as I know, the animated hurt blocks in Block Tool was created so that people could make their own flame throwers like in TLC. |

I need to know a few things in order to make my hack better. I would greatly appreciate it if you guys could help me.
1) How did FuSoYa manage to make those flamethrowers on his doomships? Did he use ASM, or Blocktool and custom animations?
2) How can I edit the overworld tiles? (e.g. make new tiles, replace them, make them trigger certain events)
3) I'm having palette problems in a particular level I'm making. I'm trying to create a space doomship (okay, six) and just can't get the palette (DWTLC.zst) to work correctly. The doomship's color is OK, but the space background (a YI rip) was really weird; the clouds were red with purple shadows, and the water was all messed up. I've tried remapping the colors, and it works, but the changes aren't saved when I save the palette and GFX.
4) Other tiles that I made myself also disappear when I reload the ROM; maybe it has something to do with putting them in blank spaces? |
