I just started using this program and am of course already a bit lost. I understand the basics, but of course will need some help with some of the more advanced stuff.
So here we go with the Q&A session:


1. Is there a good tutorial page set up for this program.

2. Where do I go to find the normal breakable brick blocks? They don't seem to be listed anywhere.

3.How do you keep the Pipe tops from turning to yellow or blue when you drag them to the right of the map?

4. How do you set a pipe to allow you to go down, and then another to go up.

5. Where do I go to edit the title screen?

6. How do I change the overworld map, and mark where level enterences are?


That's all for now, thankx in advance for any help!

Well you never say what program you're using so I'm gonna assume it's Lunar Magic like any sane person would.

1. Yeah. The help file included with it... As well as several tutorials, but I don't have the links, sorry.

2. That's because they're not in the standard game. You can use them with a little ExGFX and block inserter, however.

3. You don't. But why would you want to? Each 'screen' has a different color for it.

4. I don't understand.

5. type "Chelsea" in the main screen, then open the overworld editor (click the castle top icon). press F11 , and you can find tiles to insert (among other things) in the 8x8 editor.

6. Click the castle top icon to open the overworld editor...

Oh ya sorry, yes I am using Lunar Magic.

As for the pipes being different colors...

The only part that changes color is the part with the opening at the top. So basically if I want a very tall pipe, it will be green all the way until the top, then it is yellow or what ever and clashes.

As for Question #4.: How do I make I pipe I can go down? And then How do I make a pipe I can go up?

And 2 new ones.

How do I change Mario's different posistions on the map.


How come sometimes the screen does not scroll up when mario walks up a large hill?

You can use the map 16 editor to change the palette the pipe uses.

Use the "Exit-Enabled" pipes.

Make sure under level header that the vertical scroll option is set.

3. ... Yeah... I have no idea why that would be the only thing that changes.

4. Simply place an exit-enabled pipe down instead of a regular one. It's right below the non-exit enabled pipe in the add objects window.

7. On the overworld map: go into sprite editor mode, drag and drop.
In level: Open the Modify Main and Secondary Entrance Dialog (it's icon is the door with a 1 on it). Mess around with the X and Y parts.

8. Open the Change Properties in Header dialog (mario icon) and change Layer 1 (FG) Vertical Scrolling to "Vertical Scroll at Will".

Ok, I set the Pipes with an Exit, then I ran a check and it says it needs a destination set or what ever, otherwise you end up stuck in that bonus game.
What I'd like to do rather than goto a bonus game is have the pipe drop mario out of the bottom to a lower section of the stage. I think I see where you are supposed to set that up (Add modify Screen Exits), and I know how to see what screen I am on, but beyond that I have NO idea how you set up the level destination or secondary exit.


Also I am still not understanding how to posistion Mario.

EDIT: Figured out Mario Posistioning.

Ok... In order to decide the pipe destination:

First, press on the blue door in the toolbar. You will see the different screens of the level. There are only ONE destination for each screen (every pipe/door in the same screen will take Mario to the same destination).

Next, click on the yellow door with a + and a -. In the drop down menu, choose the screen that you want to set the destination for (a.k.a. the screen the door/pipe is on). In the box, enter the number of the level you want the door/pipe(s) on the screen to go to. Make sure that the Secondary Entrance is UNCHECKED. Press OK. In order to delete a screen exit, choose the screen from the list again and click on the delete button.

SECONDARY ENTRANCES

Click on the yellow door icon with the number 2 on the toolbar. Choose an empty entrance from the top drop down menu. Remember the number you pick. Choose the level number it should lead to, the screen number you should enter on, and choose the X/Y position like you do in the normal entrance window. Press OK. Open the screen exit window. Choose a screen and enter the number you picked on the drop down menu at the top of the secondary entrance window to the box. Make sure that you check the Secondary Entrance box. Press OK.

Hope that helps.

*Knuckles T15X gets one of them idea lightbulbs over the head
Now how did that get there? Oh, right, I gots an idea.
Why don't we all write up easy-to-use guides and tutorials for Lunar Magic, and make something like "Lunar Magic for Dummies"?

I've been meaning to make a Tutorial on how to draw your own ExGFX, but I haven't gotten around to it, yet. If I have time, I still might.

Ok, in the first level which is oddly level 105, I set up a pipe with exit enabled on screen 0A.
I then set a pipe under it which I expected to be able to drop out of or what ever. Rather what happens is I set the exit 0A Stage 105, and when I enter the pipe, it just flashes the screen and starts me at the beginning of the stage again.

Did you check the "Use the above number as Secondary Entrance" box and entered the Secondary Entrance number in the Screen Exit window?

You need to enable the setting "Show Screen Exits" in the "Edit" menu item, then every screen is outlined and shows the screen number in the top left corner.
My Beginners' FAQ is lost ... if I still had a backup I would have posted it again. Some people added neat information in there too

You need to set the exit to another level, not 105. It's just telling you what you told it to do: Exit to level 105, which is your first level.

So Mario World is not like Mario 3 in that I can jump in a tube and slide out the bottome?
That's what I was going for actually.

You mean the same-screen pipes? It is possible, but it requires some ASM hacking. So far it seems only FuSoYa has successfully done it.

I'm working on it

Seriously, I've gotten it working (more or less) It's just that I can't get the pipe sound to play on entry/exit.

Don't you know how to activate sounds or don't you know how to make sure that it's only played when you enter/leave the pipe?

What is ASM, is that a script?
