Yes, you named it, Another of them hacks.

Because of me being NOOOOBISH I can't really do something like new blocks, GFX and such stuff (you maybe saw my other thread which i wanted help about ExGfx).

But anywho. Here go some new screenis.

Beginning of the very first level i am editing.

Let the blue box go, Mario! Or something

Backle up, Mario. In some seconds some Fotballers will hunt you to you death.

Crappy name of the level, maybe

I'm sorry, but...unless you're trying to win the (nonexistent) "Most Generic Hack of 2005" award, you REALLY need to work on that some more. Change the overworld, add some ExGFX, think of more interesting level designs, do something. As it stands right now, I can assure you that very few people are going to bother playing it.

I'm not trying to discourage you or anything...everybody has to start out somewhere. I'm just trying to save you from the ravenous mobs of angry SMW hackers who are likely to invade this topic and rip you to shreds at any moment. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE

Actually, this is good for a first timer. Very well executed. I suggest Tile Layer Pro for beginners of graphics editing. (that's the only graphics editor I use) as for custom blocks, use Block Tool. Confusing, though. You have to have a calculator that converts numbers to hex. As for ExGFX, confusing, too. bleh. There is another kind of editing. It's called Hex editing. get GoldFinger for that.

Get all those and you're ready freddy.

It might be good compared to what some few other "first timers" produced (*cough* darrk *cough*), but there should be more about a hack than just acceptability. Nobody needs it unless it is in some way better than the original game. And I fear there's no aspect about that one that is.

Master M, have you ever not called a hack good? Even for obvious crap like "Super Darrk World", I remember you saying "I like the palettes". Either you are suffering from a total absense of taste when it comes to hacks, or you want to buy yourself cheap popularity amongst the other n00bs (yes, I chose "n00b" against "newbie" for a reason). Somehow, I come to believe it is both.

I knew it! You would hunt me to death with new ExGfx and stuff! Oki, I WILL try.

Sky Troopa, why not? Yes it maybe will be easy completing the level, but it's kinda orginal idea, dont you think?

Edit : Housten, we got a problem! The tiles are crap! I can't edit them! I tried both of Tile Layer Pro and Tile Molester!

1st screen- Looks rather boring.
2nd screen- Even more boring, no enemies at all.
3rd screen- Probably the best screen, there seems to be the most action here.
4th screen- Once again, I have to ask, why do people take screens of their overworld when the only thing changed is the level name? You're not impressing us by showing that you changed the level name since it's extremely easy to do.

The reason the screens look boring is because there is little action in them, and because we have the exact same BG and colors as the original YI1. Like I said earlier to Sketchie, you don't need new graphics to make a hack better, simply messing around with the header to give the level a new look will help so much. I hope that you do this, because as of now I'm not impressed. Not to say this hack is bad, I know it's your first hack, but you should really mess around with the header and add a little more action to your levels to make it stand out more. There's my two cents. Have a nice day .

I have said the "LEVEL DESIGN WAS GOOD" Level design, friend. Level design.

About the problem you've reported to Housten, use Lunar Magic, then extract the GFX.

Thank you for REPEATING THE OBVIOUS IN AS FEW WORDS AS POSSIBLE, as usual. There's more to posting than just repeating what everyone else has said, y'know.

Well, you don't need new graphics, but if you want more than a small handful of people to play the hack nowadays, you really should consider adding some. Times have changed, and I think most people are tired of seeing the same old SMW over and over again...

Oki then, My Hack's name will be Super Mario World - Theme Worlds

That's because evrey single level will have own themes such as Koopas, Blue Blocks (the one that i'm working on right now) and so on..

Thanks for the help anyway! Now I'm off editing the Graphics. I dont know, but MAYBE I could make Super Toad World sometime, I dunno

Another Edit : Tiles is still pixelated crap!

Tiles is still pixelated crap, huh? You might want to try the Lunar Magic help file, or... well, I don't know... maybe one of the big threads at the top that says "Newbies: Read this first"? Seeing as how you're a newbie, and those threads answer questions like this, it might be a good idea to read that. So your tiles is not pixelated crap.

Apparently, you haven't.
And even if you had, I don't see anything that could be considered level design in these shots.

@anders339, I suggest you first try to read your way through the SMW hacking board in order to gather some knowledge about what is "state of the art" in SMW hacking, what's considered "good" and what's considered "bad". It sure won't harm you. And if you play some hacks with really good levels, it is also likely your style in level designing will improve. It was the same for me, back when I was a newbie.

You know, you don't have to constantly repeat that you are a newb, anders, for an excuse. Yeah, it's your first shot at this we understand.

Just definately, uh, put effort into your levels. Don't bother settling for a simple theme of 'blue blocks.' You can tell us and yourself as many times as you want that it is for theme, but when it comes down to it, the truth is that it is very easy to do. You have to like this hobby, you can't just pick it up one day and expect to whip out a good game. If you like making games enough, putting in a lot of effort should be no prob, and you'll be a game design wizard soon enough.
