Mega Luigi:

Your problem seems to be that you do not have administrative rights at your computer. I.E. you cannot install programs and/or write to certain windows directories. I think you should try re-installing the VB files on the administrator user of your computer and try running EggVine on that user. Beyond this suggestion, I cannot help you because I am extremely unfamiliar with your situation. It just sounds like you can't read or write to the file(s) required by EggVine.

First! Before you go and try to install the file, I notice you said you put it in your windows\system\ folder. Did you really put it in system\ ? If so, try moving it to windows\system32\ and re-opening EggVine to see if it'll work.

I just remembered something: If you clear all the objects and sprites in a level, it always leaves one sprite. In 1-1 it left a "Allow you to go down pipe" object and in 1-2 it left a red coin. Is it supposed to leave them there, or what?

At the moment, the program crashes if it doesn't have an object that can be selected. Thus, clearing everything leaves behind an object. Just create a new object and delete the one that was left over before, and it'll be good as new.

When I make it possible to select multiple objects, I'll change that.

Ok. I figured that was the case. Just wanted to see if it was intentional or not.

In a future release, will you be including a starting position marker/object so that Yoshi's starting point can be placed somewhere other than where the original game designers intended Yoshi to start? That'd make my starting points list useless, but it would also be very helpful to be able to define Yoshi's starting point.

Of course, there is the problem that this can't be implemented in every level. Maybe hardcode it into the editor so it knows which levels have a starting point?

This question is a bit off-topic - how would I go about changing the "-Nintendo- Presents" at the very beginning of the rom? I've seen it done in SMW and Z3 hacks, but I can't seem to find the word Nintendo (or Presents) anywhere in the hex, neither using ASCII nor the text table for YI messages.

The "Nintendo Presents" (like SMW) is a sprite, therefore you must use a graphics editor to find it. Unfortunatly... I can't find the presents graphics because teh graphics are compressed... you might be able to find them, though...

Yes, I'll be making a starting point and midpoint editor. I don't know how long it'll take me to get to it though.

Cpubasic is right, it is a sprite. I doubt that graphic is compressed, but I could be wrong. I'll go try using sniff and see if I find anything.

I think it is compressed. I looked through the rom already and found out that the only uncompressed things are some animations, Layer 3 stuff, and Yoshi. I think there are some more, but not much more...

only some sprites, like the yoshi train, the unused bob ombs and many others, some overworld tiles and all the others cpu mentioned are uncompressed.

I have discovered more something that can be useful. Each member of my family have an user account in the computer. The program just works in the Mario Maniac's user.

As I previously stated, you do not have administrative rights, and therefore are not able to use the program. That seems to be the most likely problem, especially since you can use it on one user but not on another one.

Can Mario Maniac install programs onto the computer? Does Mario Maniac have read/write access to windows system folders? You should check that out.

I got the file with the diffrent headers from ETG, I'm going to documentate all the tilesets first. Just saying this so you know there is some progress.

Alright, thanks again. You might want to check the copy with EggVine. I have the tilesets partly listed there. One's just an example number and the rest are rather incomplete, though.

Yes and no. He can install programs in the computer, but he don't have write the access.
