| This probably belongs in a newbie thread, but since my desire is only to hack SMW I think it belongs here more. I don't wanna get into this rom hacking thing do I? I mean I lead a pretty busy life... audio projects, ddr stepfiles, a site to maintain, a webcomic (of sorts) work, schools about to start... I'm all for determination and I'm sure I do have pretty good level design ideas... but yeah... This isn't easy is it? Should I really invest my time into it? It would be pretty cool... but I just discovered DW:TLC yesterday so the shock of it all hasn't hit the wall of coding realism yet. I read the Lunar Magic Help file and the Q&A for newbies sticky. I know I COULD do this, I COULD figure this out... but to me, hexadecimal is a reboot villain. Your thoughts? |

| Thanks for the responses so far guys; I have a couple of questions/comments though: -SMW hacking getting old? Just cause there's an excellent utility for it? Oh I'll show you a fresh SMW... unless I don't. I could totally come up with genius level design though. -I sort of am determined but not really... like I said before, I know I could do it, but on the whole I want to know if it's worthwhile to get into. At first FL Studio was very intimidating, it has a lengthy learning curve too, but now that I know it I don't regret learning it for a second. I got into stepfiles too and the way I do it is purely numbers... but you see they make sense, ie: a pause of 50 ms is 50... hex is sick. This FAQ for newbies question scares the crap out of me: Q) Some levels cannot be accessed from the overworld. What should I do? A) Only levels 0h-24h and 101h-13Bh are accessable from the overworld. You should use these levels carefully and put the sub-levels between 25h and 100h / 13Ch and 1FFh... -I don't need to know ASM? I do if I want it to be any good: Q) How do I replace the existing animations? A) You can't. Don't try. Q) But I saw a hack where some of the enemies was changed! A) Don't look! Don't ask! Forget all about it. It never happened. OK? Q) How do I add the pipes from DW:TLC to my hack? A) Learn ASM and program them yourself. Such answers leave me un-enthused. -Can someone link me to a good ASM tutorial... or rather, if you've got some advice for getting started outside of the newbie thread I'd love to hear it. |

| Thanks FuSoYa, (You can disregard the ignorant 'are-you-gonna-make-this' part of my e-mail now...) I think I will do as you suggested for the next few weeks and just fiddle around and try and see if I in fact DO want to do this. Since the concept of SMW level hacks was introduced to me I've been tossing some GREAT ideas around in my head but we'll have to see what happens. One more thing I can think of to ask, the bg's you imported in to DW:TLC, is that all covered in the GFX and/or ExGFX importing/exporting? It would be truely awesome to be able to bring in my own multilayer animated backgrounds. |
