3:how to add door I have seen a hack that was got two more in room number 19 in Brinstar?


All of this is going to require an hex editor.

1. You cannot simply add object/sprites...thereis no mving across rooms and so on.

2. It should be in the options to move it, but moving the xy on the screen or position of a extra item in the row is going to require thaat hex editor.

3. Once again you are going to need an hex editor...this is even going to require removing usually an enemy or a wall peice.

Yes, and the map format is important. If you fiddled at all, you'd realize that all of the enemy and door data you need is in the room data that that document talks about (although I did think that the document also mentioned that data, which it doesn't; my apologies, but you should still have been able to figure it out). Since it's in the same data, the rules for moving objects and whatnot also almost completely apply to doors and enemies. We're here to give you a good kickstart; it's preferable that you also fiddle a bit to learn some stuff on your own and become a better hacker.

Edit: Oh, and MegaDog, if I recall correctly, you're really good with Metroid item data (items, elevators, etc); you really should write some stuff about them. The item data is really bothersome and a lot of people would benefit from your help there.


I released a document some time ago about it and I am trying to find it since I am working on Metroid M2 again. If I find it maybe I will release all the new things I learned...such as it is possible to have more items in Metroid off the original settings.

If I remember right Snowbro's old documention on Room Data was not exact...he missed a byte in the start of the room which defines how to lay out all the tiles...

I was hoping that if I understood C and ASM more I could maybe implement more into the editor...right now I get so many errors in MetEdit since I am doing stuff beyond the editors capability, but if you play it displays right in the engine...

Here is a old documentation that might help alot of people...I lost all the images but I got this from Jay McGavren from Rage Games back when I was doing my fist Metroid Hack...Somewhere I might have the images sitting which helps alot...but it will help you in the search of things.

Posted on 09-13-05 04:48 AM, in Question - Mini Ridley in Metroid Link
Yea that is how it is done, but it has to be the weaker Enemy not the Harder one.

The same can be done for Kraid in Hideout I.

Of course I build my things user friendly...also I got the editr rendering gfx much faster...what was planned in GNGWin. also if you don't hear I do have some other editors planned...but they are TBA!

Right now I am using the US version...but go ahead and send me the Japanese Version and I can see what can be done...

I might be possible since there is many gaps of unsed data in to ROM so there will be features to add rooms and such...

OK! You cannot Copyright or put a Trademark on a number. I found this out when the 586's came out. That is why they switched to Pentium so that way it can be TMed.

You can obtain a Copyright on programs and such. You gota get the fourms from the Copyright office and pay for them. Back when I got DogSoft's it cost me $20 and now my programs can be copyrighted for my life + 50 years if I remember right.

It is open Source, but it is full of bugs. Also most versions are not Open Source...

I will probably not add this support for a while thought since right now I am working on the Tile Editor and the Item editor right now.
