Why did you link there? 
And there is one use for the extra bit... you can store a one-bit variable in it!  (Hey, it could be useful for things like PalASM, where the colour isn't used and is interpreted as a 16-bit address.) |

No need to be sarcastic you meany jerk heads. I'm sure SOMETHING useful could be done with it by a clever hacker (or programmer, I guess). |

Now I understand for some reason. I saw your hex numbers and remembered.
So, 667788 would become 887766? |

Flip a color horizontally? how can you do that?

Nope, it's ignored. (What would its function be? Placing the color on top of all others? Flipping it horizontally?  ) |

Is the left over bit used for anything? |

And Darkflight, yeah, I could use that code.
yeah, thats what i figured.
i was confused by the color format myself when i first encountered it. |

haha, of course it does.
just because its using 2 bytes instead of 3, that doesnt mean that one of the r,g and b colors is missing.
that'd be totally stupid, cause you wont be able to produce the full color spectrum with only 2 of these.
the solution is that the snes uses 5 bits per color, not 8, of course.
therefore, you can fit an individual r, g and b value for each color into 2 bytes.

GP, If you want I can send you all of my notes on the bullet bill generator to help you. |

The last one. FF.
Anyway, since I couldn't get on Acmlm's for a while, I sorta took my mind off of SMW and focused on other things. But now that I'm back around, I'll probably start work on advancing this patch so it works on a number of sprites and when the palette number is 00 it'll just create a default enemy. That way your bullet bill shooters will shoot bullet bills in regular levels and your lakitus will toss regular lakitu eggs and stuff. But that'd be kinda hard, and I'm lazy, so don't expect these right away. |

Sorry if it's obvious or if I'm getting this wrong, but what area in the pallette does it base the sprite it will throw on? |

A bullet bill generator would eat up all the sprite memory so fast...  I like the fish idea though. They could fall from the sky.  |

*sighs and hangs head for being a n00b*
I looked at Lunar Magic, I see what you mean now. I\'ll work that out myself.
If I could make a suggestion, though; add some more generators. Like the stationary/random bullet bill shooters. It\'d be great to have, say, banzai bills coming at you randomly (though insanely difficult to play). Or just have it do something silly, like plop fish into the level.
At any rate, this kills one more barrier for less skilled hackers with great ideas.
Thank you. |

Cool, but how does this work? From what I gather, it's the last color in the last palette, but what byte (R,G,B)? |

Go into Lunar magic, select "Custom Palette". Now you can change a sprite's palette for each level. And it's all entirely based on color!
