I still have not figured all of that out, and im still getting most of the graphics put togethor.
I have alot of graphics id like to use.
I also am still trying to figure out what monster i can use as a replacement for the koopatroopas.
I do not plan to use anything from yoshi's island.
I may make up some mosters for parts of the game.
I want to replace the koopa kids that are in castles 1 to 7 with something else.
As far as obsticles and ideas i have go, and althogh i do not plan to use any graphics or anything from yoshi's island i did love the layout of most of the levels, and that should give you a good idea of how the levels should be like.
I just got downloaded super mario world reconfiguer and am going to use it to try and edit the monsters in super mario world. |

Wario has not been the bad guy for a very long time now in any nintendo games.
And im thinking of going haveing this made up character called the fairy queen that you have to recue.
What are your thoughts on this?
Instead of Fairy Queen, what about Toadette? And Wario isnt really a "bad" guy anymore, but you could try Wart as thats the only foe Toad has ever faced. BTW I would appreciate any specific obstacles or ideas you might want me to implement in the levels, after all you seem to be the MD (what Australians call the Managing Director) of the hack. |

Would you like to make some levels for me?
I need a good level designer.
Mine may not come out all that great.
Plus i like doing group efforts.
Like i said, im more of a story teller slash artist.
Definitely, Ill do your levels. I just hope my mind comes up with more original ideas because Ive already used up a lot of them in Shadow Mario World and Toad's Oddyssey. But I will try to do your levels.  |

I did not know about it.
I do not read every thread in this forum, nor do i plan to.
I noticed that, that thread was from a good ways back.
Are you still working on it?
Are you good at level design?
If you are, i could use someone to make levels, im more of a storyteller slash artist.
I have already done alot of work on it, and do not plan to cancel it now.
All i can say is, ill make sure i do not use what ever title you plan to use.
Im also working on one staring the princess as the main charecter.
Their is no rule that says you can not still make your hack, nor is their a rule that says i have to cancel mine.
Again, im sorry, but i make no plans to quit on this now.
I believe I am good at making levels. Maybe if you play the final release when it comes out you can see what Ive done and judge my competence. |

As i have said, and as i will say again, im working on graphics first, and levels later.
Man, my head is spinning. |

Nice graphics. I like that jungle BG. Surprised nobody mentioned the un-changed levels though.  |

Well, at the moment i have only done graphics for the game, that and alot of work on the pallet.
All i have at the moment level wise, is the nomal mario world levels, but i will change that later, once i have all my graphics and colors down. |

mikejpr's Toad (even though it is really just SMB2 Toad) is more well done, however. I did not care for mvent2's and your levels besides the 1st shot are exactly the same  I think it would be cool if there is more than one hack of a similar concept. It dosn't look like so many people know much of yours, anyway. |

I noticed that everyone is constantly useing mario or and edit of mario for their hacks.
So i said to myself "What character if any, can i use that no one else has used?".
And then it came to me, TOAD!
Also, im sorry if someone is already planning a hack like this, if you are, i did not know about it.
Also, id like to thank peter_ac for these riped graphics
  That was MY IDEA!!!!
See here, as my hack is probably a LOT older than yours!
So NOW what do I do??? |

Well, their is a music editor or somthing in the works, or at least as far as i know their is.
Anyhow, dose anyone know what the best tool for ripping graphics is?
I have been useing tile layer pro, but their are some roms that i can not look at the images with it.
I was wanting to rip graphics from super adventure island, but tile layer pro only brings up garbage when i use it on that rom.
Anyone know a better one to use? |

That did not stop my brother for my hack  It is not so difficult as so many people say that it is. But don't ask me to make him do your music. I know he will not! ._. |

For now all i have been doing is setting up the graphics i plan to use, and working on pallets.
Level design will come later, as will work that will be done on the map.
Id like to also be able to change the music, but since their are no tools as of yet for editing music, im stuck.
Id like to be able to use the editor for the status bar, but unfortunetly, it dose not have a point and click interface, on top of that, the darn thing keeps asking for some kind of bleeping INI file.
I can not use anything that dose not have a point and click interface.
Anyhow, ill be back with more later.
If their are any questions, just ask, or make any comments you have, and ill get back to you guys. |

The graphics all look fabulous, and toad himself looks decent, as does the snake he rides. Now all you need is some quality level design and you have yourself a grand hack. |

I had a plan like it, and am hacking it, but for SMAS. Because this is SMW I do not care (I did not do SMAS+W you see) and I think you did a good job keep the work up. I love the Rex pallet  |

Well, i kind of wanted toads quest as a subtitle.
But i do see what your talking about, the blending, the blending!, of the colors.
I should look into this, most of the graphics that you see, were riped by peter_ac, not me. I just want to make that clear, and i hope he dose not mind.
Im curently looking into somthing else i could use for the koopa troopa graphics, but beleave it or not, the onse you see i found hidden in super mario allstars: super mario bros 3, aperanlty they had planed to use simular graphics to the ones in mario world when they were working on all stars, or at least that is what it seems like.
Also, im sorry about any spelling errors you see.
My spelling sucks.
Anyhow.
I should also mention to everyone that i do not plan to use anything from Yoshi's island, so do not sudgest anything from that game.
I was never really all that fond of Yoshi's Island, to me it was too much of a departure from the mario series. When i play a mario game, i want to play as ether mario luigi the princess or toad, never as yoshi, rideing him was cool in super mario world thogh.
Anyhow, for now ill just call it Toad's quest. |
