Well, that, and why don't you check a MIDI file's size. They can be quite large, because they have different formatting.

Posted on 05-10-05 05:13 AM, in Is it possible to change a rom's header?

Link

Nad is saying that he has a (censor) that has not 0x200 byte header, and so he would like to be able to add one to it so he can hack a fresh SMW copy. And no, you cannot contract. sad but true that any leftover space that has been used and then unlink to is unrecoverable. AFAIK.

Posted on 05-11-05 01:44 AM, in Where are the Bowser Battle palettes(besides Bowser himself)and GFX pointers and such?

Link

I mapped out a bit of bowser's battle in this this thread.

Maybe it will help you. Also, bowser is stored as 4bpp GFX, can be edited, and I can send you a little bit more abut the mappings as I go back and look them up.

EDIT: and I forgot to tell you, bowser does not support more than 8 colours, he already seems to use colours 8-f of palette unknown.

Posted on 05-11-05 01:52 AM, in Changing the end text?

Link

Hang on- The text used is stored in bowser's GFX file. Maybe you should look for the string of hex that points to the locations of the tiles with the letters. they would probably be one-byte-long letters. If I had a screenshot of bowser's GFX file in slot FG1 or FG3, I might be able to give you a valid search string.

I just thought of that, JJ. What's nice is that I could find it tonight without needing to know the palette info because AFAIK goldfinger allows you to ignor certain parts of a string. (like this: [1] [ ] [3] [ ] [4], which would result in 01 45 03 a9 04, what I want)

looking at your new screens, I'd say nice, but the one-block-wide platforms will HAVE to go.

I've run into this before. Are there any .ips files in that directory with the same name as your rom?

You won't have full creative control over the project, it will be distributed, but sometimes that is a good thing, I think.

Definitely. It would also make sense, because you could have specialists working together. In Real ROMs, they didn't have people who singlehandedly level designed, programmed, did GFX, and music. they had many. that's why this idea has credit.

1. That's what I was trying to point out, was the sprite editing. And as for #2, there are a lot of us who actually can, Kyouji. Just needs a little effort to be put in.

Posted on 05-15-05 08:22 AM, in Sprite Generators

Link

From what I've gathered, some sprites share ASM and have their ASM chosen by sprite number. you could do this, but you would need to change some of the handling routines. MikeyK posted about what values to change where in the thread "Sprite ASM pointers", by me. Also, you would need to copy say, the Bullet bill's shooter code and rewrite one offset to set the generator correctly.

AFAIK It has not, although I would think that it wouild work something like the example below.

'get the sprite's size

(commented out becaue the code for the tables I was using was rather large)

'now check it with the player's X coordinate.

(the code is almost the same as the snippet below)

'Now, if the the X coords were reasonably close, check the Y co-ords

if Px > Ex then
if (px - Ex) < es AND (px - ex) < ps then coll = TRUE
else
if (ex - px < es AND (ex - px) < ps then coll = TRUE
End If

'now do the damage routine if there is a collision...

Posted on 05-15-05 11:43 PM, in Appling Extended Animations to more than 1 levels

Link

There is one easier way. set up ONE level's animation data, then click the "copy all tiles" button. go to the neext level you want the animations for, and click "Paste all tiles", then set up the correct ExGFX animation file in the GFX bypass (whichever ohe you prefer, I like the old one best), then repeat the lest two steps for any additional levels you want.

Posted on 05-15-05 11:55 PM, in SMW ROM addresses

Link

I was pretty sure that somewhere in the code for updating the timer there was something you could use. I know that doesn't help much, but I think that if you looked at the jmp statement that SH has you NoP out, you could trace the code and find the pointer to which tile to change, and so you could update that to be one more to the left. also, if you had a way of comparing changes with a hex editor, you could open the ROM, then use SMWSBE to change the timer location, then compare the differences in you hex editor and locate the offsets easily.

actually, if you look very closely, mario overlaps all other objects and spries by one pixel before he interacts with them.

Hey! I have both an *almost*DEFINITIVE release date for COTMK 1, and a horde of new screenshots. The release date should be anywhere from June 31st to July 13.

Here are the OLD screenshots.
