| Hey, Demo World had some major flaws. Tricks like its appearing/dissapearing blocks and teleportation are commonplace now, and if you don't find one exit before another in star world you're stuck. Levels like Bowser's Castle were just too damn long and didn't really have any innovation to it. Some levels were lifted directly from SMB3. Demo World may have been a good hack, even an excellent hack, but I certainly don't think that it's required material for anyone looking for a good hack. | |||

| It may take even longer than you think if you think that C++ is such a great stepping stone for learning ASM. Heck, I know C++, but those references people linked to might as well have been written in Greek, because they're already a foreign language to me... | |||

| Once you map the buttons to the way you like (which is a pain), I found the controls quite good and the game enjoyable. This tool is certainly worth a download... | |||

| Well, I don't think it's so much the C++ syntax but a knowledge of variables and the kind of things that make up a language. But as for how much they'll help you learn ASM, I can't help you with that because I know C++ but it hasn't helped my nearly nonexistant understanding of ASM. Sorry. | |||

| You must be mistaken. Mario wasn't in this hack. | |||

| When you have to make slight alterations of the image again and again and again over a sheet of graphics just for a game you aren't sure why you started in the first place and a title screen which glitches up with this strange white tile every time you start making the graphics look good isn't one of your priorities. Your sanity is. | |||

| Sorry, but I already have given up on this completely. I have already started on a better SMW hack called 'Timeless Wasteland". | |||

| One sentence threads suck. I think you should have kept that idea to yourself until you make some actual progress on these barrels. The idea is OK, but you'd have to change the sound the boost blocks make to a boom instead of the coin sound, you'd have to change the barrel blocks' priority so it shows up over Mario, and you'd have to place the graphics correctly so it doesn't look like Mario's walking through the top of the barrel. It would be a lot of work. | |||

| Then does a brief and uninformative response like this one dishonor you? | |||

| You need to use the superGFXbypass to change the graphics to the ExGFX or the graphics you're using, change the Map16 to either a blank page or the right page already in use, and then delete the background tiles so it's nothing but blue space and arrange the new map16 tiles however you like. | |||

| In some levels I want Mario to have to use the P-switch in order to continue, but if you mess up you either have to A.) Jump into a pit or B.) Find a pipe to exit and come back in. I think it would be neat if the pressed P-switch sprite pops back up instead of dissapearing. Then I could use MarioWorldReconfigurer to enable processing at all times. But I don't know the address where this data is saved at, and even if I did I don't know what any of it means. Does anyone know how to change it so that the P-switch pops back up after Mario presses it rather than dissapearing? |

| Kario: I know. But you have to go out and come back in, and that sucks. I hate going out and back in. Other stuff you did resets itself, too. And going out and back in in a vertical level (which the one I need this switch for happens to be), and secondary exits mess up vertical levels a lot for me. I don't want to go back out and back in! It sucks on so many levels! Cpubasic13: I didn't ask you.  It's just needed to fix one level, and it needs to be carried by Mario... so it can't be a custom block. Plus, that sounds like an awful lot of work for someting so simple. I'm only interested in disabling that one function for that one sprite. So I flip the switch for 'process while offscreen' in MWR, and find the address that makes the P-switch run through the 'death' process and disable it. Is there a 'revive' process? Can I run that instead of the 'death' one? Because that would be just great. Now, I don't know ASM, so this would have to be dumbed down into hex addresses for me if anyone has a simple solution. Opcodes make me queasy. |

| No, no, no... my hack is going to have long levels and no time limit. What I'm trying to do is make it so it is impossible to get stuck and/or have to make Mario commit suicide. So that's why I need the P-switch to re-appear... so the player doesn't have to jump off a cliff or do one of those stupid enter/exit or Yoshi tricks to get the POW back. Those tricks suck. | |||

| I'm sure it's possible. It would just involve an intricate knowledge of ASM, changing it so Mario loses coins instead of getting smaller, making mario move back when hit, and making sure it doesn't cause glitches in the game. I never said it would be easy, just possible... |

| I'd have to re-map it to a different ASM pointer, and then re-write the script. In ASM. Which I don't understand. So, no. I'd probably be better off looking for the address that makes the P-switch do the whole 'death' thing and make it flip back up instead. But I don't know where to begin... I think someone who understands SMW data formatting needs to find this one. |

| But I don't want a million P-switches... I just want one that won't go away when you press it. | |||

| When a Silver POW is taken through a pipe it becomes a Blue Pow in effect, though it remains silver... I don't know how to fix it, though. | |||

| No. It's not. And I told you all the reasons why in my above posts. |
