I want to forget my SMWH proyect because I'm not an expert like a lot of you but before end my job I want to learn how to edit castle and ghost hous entrances, the square in where Mario hold his powers and maybe how to add SMB3 music.

Please, I have worked on it for two years and I want to rest and forget everything about Mario Alias Carlos.

Castle/Ghost house entrance editing:
1: Look at the section "File Menu : Open Level Address" in the LM help file. Write down the address to the castle/ghost house. Note that there might be two or more identical, so write down all of them.
2: Convert the address to SNES address and change the byte order so it fits the SNES's CPU. Search for this address in the ROM. If it finds any match, corrupt the ROM there (3 bytes IIRC). Check if the ghost house/castle entrance sequence in the game is screwed up. If so, write down this address as the "Pointer Address" and change it back to normal. If not, change it back to normal.
3: Now that you have the pointer address, you can start designing the new ghost house/castle entrance.
4: When the level is saved, go to File>Save level to the ROM. Write down the PC address in the box. Press Cancel.
5: "SNESify" the address like in step 2 and put it at the pointer address in the ROM.
It should work.
Note that if you edit the level after step 5, you have to redo step 4 and 5.
SMB3 music: Base your hack on DW3.
Square: This requires Status Bar editing.
1. The status bar data starts at $0E81 (the top of the blue item box). Note that there's no break between each line of data;
the second line starts immediately after the first. Also note that *only* tiles and/or blank spaces that are actually used are copied to layer 3
(meaning each row is only as long as it appears in-game). Expanding a row of tiles is somewhat tricky, involving modifications to a few
DMA tables and copying the tile data elsewhere in the ROM. The DMA tables start at $0F90 if you want to play around with this yourself.
Even this is somewhat limited at the moment, since the game still references the original data somewhere (I haven't found the pointer)
and tends to screw up the status bar if the new and old data don't match.

The format of a DMA table is as follows (using the first one at $0F90 as an example):

01: Enables normal DMA. Don't change this.
18: Low byte of register to be written to (high byte is always $21). Don't change this.
81 8C 00: 24-bit SNES address of data to be copied. This can point anywhere in the ROM.
08: Number of bytes to copy. Make sure you change this if you expand the status bar at all!
00: End of table.

I can understand if you no want to work in Mario anymore, if you are tired of it, but stop because you don't know certain thingas is not a good deal. Like you said, you've been working on it by the last two years. Just thing on all hard work you had.

Just thing, if everyone go things like that. I'm no want to force you continue your hack, but don't waste your work, you'll probably learn much more and maybe wants to hack Mario again

Thanks for that useful help. I really didn't understan averything but no problem.

And about continue or leave the proyect, I'm thought about and I decided only to end it with the same quality of yours but at least end it. Is hard to me learn more about because I'm not a naturarl english speaker and I really ignore everything about to hack roms and ASM code. Taht's too advanced for me.

Thank you so much.

I'm going to bring some snapshot the next week.

The ASM of course is a great way of do very well designed hacks, but it's not the only way to do good hacks, just look around and you'll see. Oh yes, try to use the sprites editors, it may help you do something...a very good start I can say.

When you said sprite editors you are talking about tile editors or something better?

It is a program that ley you edit the code of the sprites, very easy to use. If you want to edit graphics from the game, extract the files and edit it. If you want to add graphics you must use Exgfx. To edit it just fire up a tile program, like Tile Layer Pro or YY-CHR.

That's not hard. Select "View>Format>SNES". If you still with that colors, probablt the format are wrong or something like that.

The colors will always be incorrect (unless you load a palette file), due to how graphics works on the SNES.

You can just deal with the ugly colors. It will have no effect on your hack.

Well, I surrender. I'll continue working only with Lunar Magic.

Just teach me to edit piranha plants, yoshi coins and the other uneditable sprites with LM.

You can't edit them in LM, only in a tile editor.
