To answer your question:

How to use downloaded ExGFX from the Workshop
1) After downloading the pack, decompress the archive with WinZip, WinRAR, WinACE, PKUNZIP, StuffIt Expander, whatever you use.
2) Open up the directory you uncompressed the files to. You should have at least these files:
graphics_name.bin
Map16Page.bin
Map16PageG.bin
You may also have a pallette in .TPL format.
3) If you haven't already, create a folder in the same folder as your hack's ROM and name it "ExGFX" (case sensitive).
4) Rename the file "graphics_name.bin" to "ExGFXxx.bin" where xx = a hexidecimal number from 80 to FFF
5) Put the "ExGFXxx.bin" file into the folder "ExGraphics"
6) Put the files "Map16Page.bin" and "Map16PageG.bin" into the same folder as your hack.
7) Open Lunar Magic and open your hack.
8) Go to whatever level you wish to use the graphics, like a blank "TEST" level, and clear ALL the objects in the level.
9) Insert the ExGFX by clicking the Yellow Mushroom in the toolbar.
10) Now open the "Super GFX Bypass" window by clicking "Tools" -> "Super GFX Bypass..."
11) Check off the graphics bypass option, then click the dropdown menu for FG3, and select the hexadecimal number you chose for your ExGFX. Click OK.
12) Now open the Map16 Tile Editor
13) Using up and down, go to the page you wish to isert your blocks, and hit F3. Click Yes.
14) You are now ready to build! Open up the Background Objects selector, and go to "Direct Access Map16" and open your page. If the GFX look funky, and you haven't hacked the pallettes, then you need to insert a pallette. Check the Lunar Magic help file for any additional info on Lunar Magic, or feel free to ask in the ExGFX Workshop topic at the top of this forum about any ExGFX inquiries.

I can't say this is bad... but... it is not good either. This hack doesn't look like there's anything special about it that would make it worth playing, and that is a subject to improve before you even think of releasing it. |

That's what I thought, Taptap. When is the hack going to be done, mariofan? |

State 0 Saved? you should not have to make savestates to get through levels. Think about how it would be on the real SNES, in the land of no savestates... I really like your idea of riding the flying ? blocks in the one screen. It's starting to get more interesting.  |

Yeah, I've been meaning to fix that. It does look stupid as it is now. |

I like the brightness. It's different. Even if it is a emulator thing, I wouldn't mind a brighter SMW.
And Tatrion, fix that pillar depth so the rest matches, whether by putting the pillars in behind or the ground in front. |

The screen brightness is the same thing thats wrong with my emulator, it takes the pictures way too bright. I can tell we're using the same emulator because of the way "State 0 saved" appears in that one picture. |

The screens are a bit plain. There is nothing really going on in them. That dose'nt mean I am suggesting ExGFX. Like Tatrion said, you should put some action in them. |

It doesn't look too interesting..., and screen brightness... eh... kills me. It could be better. It isn't too bad, however. |

I agree with Zachio, actually.
It's not extremely horrid, but... it doesn't stand out. =\ |

Yeah, show something more exciting. And why is everything so bright? |

Taptap, it's mariofan's first hack. At least download it when it gets uploaded. I'll give it a try when it's out. |

Heh, it could still be really good without ExGFX. At least you don't throw stuff all over the place and call it sweet. Good start, try to add a bit more action in some of your screenies. |

Come on. It looks good without ExGfx. Although it could be better with it. Still a good first Hack.  |

Exactly. something like that. No offense, but put a little EXGFX in there. |
