| 1: Readable status bars Problem: Hard to read status bars and sometimes, they change colors between levels. Really ugly. Solution: Keep your dirty fingers out of that palette! 2: Passable levels Problem: Most of the hacks in these days are almost impossible to finish without cheats or save states. Solution: Completely underestimate the players when designing the levels. 3: Graphic changes without rips Problem: Geez! Almost every single hack have got rips from SMAS and/or YI. It's not cool. It's boring. Solution: Use the standard GFX or make your own from scratch! 4: Mario feel Problem: Some hacks are missing the classic Mario feel. Solution: Use Mario inspired/based GFX and level design. It's not good if Mega Man X jumps into the game and shoots the head off Mario! Stomping Goombas, eating Mushrooms and saving the princess! THAT'S Mario! 5: Problem #5 Problem: I can't think of any more problems right now. Solution: Make more lame hacks!

 Hmm... Looks pretty nice... The background doesn't really fit, though.  PLEASE don't show the level numbers in the screen shots! It ruins everything! Anyway... The design looks good.  1: A sunken ship on the grass? 2: Is that blue thing around Bowser's castle water? If so, remove the lava. 3: Looks too much like the original 4: "ZSNES"? Okay... (What if you use SNES9x or whatever it's called?) 5 & 6: Looks pretty good.  The platforms and brown blocks looks just wierd...  Move mario down one block.  Great idea!  The background looks terrible.  Summary: Looks nice, but fix the things I mentioned... (edited by Smallhacker on 06-13-04 06:07 AM) |

| Well, sometimes the tooltip doesn't appear for me either (but after I try a couple of times, it works again). My tip is that you check in the GFX files for some unused space so you could write stuff on 4 tiles, like "Hidden Vine" or stuff. Give the block those graphics and when it's finished, just change it back to invisible. However, this would be easier if FuSoYa finds a big bug in LM, makes a new version and adds a function. That function would allow you to make the blocks look like this in LM and like that in the game. (Like... you could set it up so it looks like a stone block in LM, but in the game, it's invisible) Sorta like the Sprite MAP16... Anyway... While talking about tooltips... Why aren't there any tooltips in the MAP16 window? |

| The graphics looks nice, since they aren't (as far as I can see) any OMG!!!1 IM SO COUL COS i CNA RIP GFX FROM OTER GAEMS!!1one LOL!!1 graphics that's quite common these days. Hand made GFX = Good! Rips = (Booooring! + Lame)*(Overused+67) I hope that the gameplay and levels are good. Originally posted by cpubasic13 Change them. Let's see... I've got my doc about the locations on my old computer... I can see if I can find them tomorrow... (If you know how to edit status bars, then it's good, since it uses the same format) |

| I vote for yes, but there's both good and bad about LM. Good: Easy to use editor, takes only a few minutes to learn Make a hack fastter than with a HEX editor Bad: Easy to use editor, takes only a few minutes to learn Make a hack fastter than with a HEX editor Ok... Maybe I should describe that better... Yes, it's good that LM exists, since it makes hacking easy, but if it's easy, then a lot of OMg!!1 i CNA MAKE MY OVN MAIRO GAEM! OMGOMGOMG!!!111!!12 n00bs will invade the commulity and post their LOLz!!1 i CHANGD DA FIRST KOPA ON LEVL 1 INTO RENZOR!! i ROX U SUX!!11 hacks, ruining the day for the other ones. Therefore, the experienced hackers's hacks will drown in the sea of "n00chs" (my own word for "n00b hacks") and all their work with tons of crazy go nuts awesome ASM hacks are just wasted... BMF: Here's the final version of SMB: Ody- Mr.Mc n00b: QUIET, U!!1 DIS HAX ROX MOR DAN U!!1 LOLz! BMF: With tons of ASM hacks, including a st- Mr.Mc n00b: YaY!1 MY HAX iS CALED "i ROX U SUX MAIRO VORLD 2" PLAY OR BAN! BMF: and a- Mr.Mc n00b: SHADDaP!!1 NOBODY wANTS 2 PLYA UR SUX hAX! lolZ!1 iM SOOOOOOOOO COUL! Etc... That's my opinion... |

| Well... There are one good and one bad thing about the flash. Good: It's a nice hack Bad: The result isn't that good When I played it, I thought "Wow! I would never be able to make that", but the flashing colors didn't look very good... I see no point in keeping them, unless you have got a disco floor after each goal and the floor's colors changes, while it plays some disco music... Wait... What am I talking about? Uhm... Oh, yeah... Please don't keep the flash. |

| Ok... Here's the status bar and OV boarder info. A big thanks to BMF. --Status bar and it's DMA tables (by BMF)-- 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. --Tile settings byte (by Smallhacker)-- Each tile is made up of 2 bytes. Byte 1: Tile number (the same as in the tile select window in the credits/title screen editor) Byte 2: Tile settings: Bit Data (from left to the right): 1 Flip | 2 Flip - 3 Priority 4 Palette 5 Palette 6 Palette 7 ??? 8 ??? Note: 7 or 8 (can't remember which) is the 9:th (from right to left) byte for the tile number Palettes: 000 Pallette 0 001 Pallette 1 010 Pallette 2 011 Pallette 3 100 Pallette 4 101 Pallette 5 110 Pallette 6 111 Pallette 7 --Status bar locations (by Smallhacker)-- (All in PC addresses) 0E81 Item Box 0,0 0E83 Item Box 1,0 0E85 Item Box 2,0 0E87 Item Box 3,0 0E89 Mario 1 0E8B Mario 2 0E8D Mario 3 0E8F Mario 4 0E91 Mario 5 0E93 Extra space after MARIO 0E95-0EA0 Unused? 0EA1 Item Box 0,1 0EA3 Item Box 1,1 0EA5 Item Box 2,1 0EA7 Item Box 3,1 0EA9 Extra space after Item Box row 1 0EAB Time 1 0EAD Time 2 0EAF Time 3 0EB1 Extra space after TIME 0EB3 Extra space after TIME 0EB5 Extra space after TIME 0EB7 Coin 0EB9 x (Coin meter) 0EBB Extra space after x 0EBD Unused? 0EBF Unused? 0EC1 x (Life meter) 0EC3 Unused? 0EC5 0EC7 0EC9 0ECB 0ECD Star 0ECF x (Star meter) 0ED1 0ED3 0ED5 0ED7 Item Box 0,2 0ED9 Item Box 1,2 0EDB Item Box 2,2 0EDD Item Box 3,2 0EDF Extra space after Item Box row 2 0EF7 Item Box 0,3 0EF9 Item Box 1,3 0EFB Item Box 2,3 0EFD Item Box 3,3 --OV border locations (unfinished) (by Smallhacker)-- 22658 Right middle shadow title 2265E Bottom middle shadow tile 22664 Right top shadow tile 2266A Bottom left shadow tile 22670 Corner shadow tile Ok... That's it... Those were my personal notes, so sorry if they are a bit hard to understand... |

Originally posted by cpubasic13 You're welcome. The best way to understand is to mess around with it yourself. Open a copy of SMW in your hex editor and corrupt the status bar, or make it say "I ROX" or something... I've got a game where I messed up the entire status bar because I was bored. Edit: Oh... Don't askme about the X/Y bytes locations for coins, items, lifes and such, since there are none... They are hardcoded or something and requires ASM hacking to edit.

| That has nothing to do with Block Tool. Check if you activated Super GFX bypass or the older bypass. If so change where it says GFX file 80 into something lower. |

| You've set the FG starting position too high. Set it to the maximum and try again. (That setting can be found in the secondary entrance window) | |||

| I agree... Maybe there should be one or two more mods here that's specialized on "no bad comments on hacks"? |
