yep your right above poster! and when you view details (i just figured this out) it tells you how to insert it but "kirby all the way" has a great explination of how to do it.
EDIT: I have uploaded the IPS to my site, look below. |

Well, to say there is no help file is not entirely true.. There is no blocktool .hlp (I could write one, i'll ask JW, though i doubt...), but check out the Text Files in the blocktool folder (you know, the notepad icons or the ones that end in .txt)
*Alaric coughs.
Therefore, stuff SHOULD be explained in there. |

Blocktool sucks? What?!?!??!?! I challenge you to just make a program from scratch with knowledge of raw hex data and ASM abilities. Go ahead, betcha can't do it... |

Theres a help file.... right?*checks* nope, no help file.... Make sure you open the rom in block inserter first.... most important step.
#1. Go find the 16x16 block section in the 16x16 editor you want to insert your block into.
#2. Youll see a number... take that number and stick it into calculator as hex.
#3. Now change the number from hex to decimal.
#4. Go into block inserter. Choose your block, insert the number you got fom calculator, and click okay.
#5. Open the rom in lunar magic, save in block tool to the rom. Close LM, and re-open.
#6. You have a block in the 16x16 space. Go to block tool and "view details" about your block. Use the 16x16 editor to correctly set the settings, and graphics, then hit F9 in the 16x16 editor. Yay, youre done! |

the reason i don't like block tool is because I can't figure out how to get blocks into my hack. i open my hack (in block tool) and insert my block (it works fine with no errors) but when i open lunar magic to use the block it isn't there!!!!
Help me!!! please |

Try to reinsert your exgfx. Wait... did you extract your gfx before or after inserting exgfx . If after that may be the problem. |

Thanks every one for the help.
Clockworkz, the hex editing idea was wrong but I figured out how to "reduce the size" my own way so thanks. My hack is fine now just need to edit all the levels.
I am in the process of inserting objects, mainly just blocks. I have been using Block Tool and it sucks. Is there another object inserting program for this game that works well??
FOR THE FOLLOWING I HAVE CHECKED THE L.M. HELP FILE
I have consulted the help file but don't understand what it is telling me to do when I am trying to insert ExGFX. I can get them into the map 16 pages and view them in lunar magic (in the levels themselves) but the graphics are screwed up. The help file tells me to extract the GFX, insert ExGFX and then reinsert the GFX so all the graphics are 4bpp. I do this and the backrounds and objects are still messed up. what am I doing wrong?
Thnaks to anyone that can help me! |
