Erm, something seems to have broken this thread.  I'm just going to close it... I suspect it's your layout, the link in your sig is missing an end quote. Fix that and try posting it again. |

Mutation: There are blocks which will load the palettes from certain levels, you could use those. You'll just have to do something to prevent the player from going back beyond that point (or put in another set before them that loads the original palettes again), and have one or two screens around them that don't use any of the colours that get changed. (Put them at the very right edge of one screen, and don't use those colours on that screen or the next one.) Yoshi's Island does this with tilesets, it looks pretty neat.  UD: I think someone mentioned that they knew where the earthquake code was, so if I could figure out how to turn it into another block, I might be able to do it. Trashy: Umm... Ebay and TLP? |

Well the key word is 'arbitrary' here... |
Also, joypad support seems to be completely broken. I got it all set up nicely, then clicked Cancel because it's right where OK should have been.  Now it just kinda assigns the button I press to something completely random. It's also very quiet... Being able to set breakpoints for a range of addresses would be nice too, and disabling one then clicking the game window should actually disable the breakpoint. Maybe the 'next op' button actually going to the next instruction instead of the same one over and over...(edited by HyperHacker on 03-14-05 09:11 PM) (edited by HyperHacker on 03-14-05 10:55 PM)

The game re-uses and flips a lot of those tiles, which will surely prove to be quite a pain in the back end. |

Looks neat. A bit cluttered, but also some nice ideas. |
1) Maybe a message box would work better? 2) Ice background with lava? 3) The bottom chunk of land looks really flat. 4) Cool, I hope that's not a midway gate at the beginning though. 5) Looks very interesting. 6) Ooh, how's Mario gonna get up there? There seems to be a gap at the bottom though. 7) Nice, but could stand to lose one of the chucks. That's a lot of enemies in a small space. 8) Er, why is there a goal point between those trees? 9) Looks hard. Hope all those sprites with the layer 3 water don't cause slowdown... 10) Nice plant. You did put a Yoshi at the beginning right?11) Ooh, it's all dank and spooky-like. Meteorites don't often carve underwater mazes though, usually just craters. 12) Ball-and-chains swinging off ? blocks? Way to take ideas from SMB3, people don't do that enough.  Looks hard.13) Ooh, big castle. Kinda plain OW though. Maybe some rocks, islands and/or boats in the water? 14) Don't suppose you could move the camera up? Being at the top with the scorebar makes it look cluttered and hard to see. Those platforms in the background might be a bit confusing too. 15) Nice. Bowser statues don't really look right on diagonal slopes though... 16) Eh, this looks pretty crappy. The waterfalls, which look more like blue blocks, somehow make 90-degree turns and flow sideways? They disappear into blocks, even. It doesn't look like Mario's swimming at all, and the BG colour is too bright. 17) Those islands look very flat. Not necessarily a bad thing, just that it implies they're barely above the water, which might not be what you wanted. (It is a cool idea though.) Unless it's like a flooded place or something, they should be a bit more beach-coloured. The dotted path going diagonally doesn't look so good either, you'd probably be better using one that turns. 18) Not bad, colours need some work though. Other than those little things (a lot of them, but that's a lot of pics too ) it looks pretty nice.

X and Y both do the same... Perhaps you could have one spin and one shoot? |

You need to reduce it to 16 colours (4-bit), you're probably better off copying it from the actual SMB3 or SMAS ROM. The sprite is 32 pixels tall and 16 wide, though it's divided into 8x8 tiles. |

The scorebar border is a nice idea (looks SMB3ish), but you'd be better off putting it all on layer 3 so that you can actually use layer 2. I think someone made a scorebar editor a while ago. You could replace the unused 'TIME' tiles with the border tiles, and simply re-colour the rest of the tiles to have a black BG. (Ex: Change the first tile in 'TIME' to the horizontal border, the second to the vertical border, and the third to the corner tile, and edit layer 3 to include them. You'll need to find another tile for that clock icon though. Maybe reduce 'MARIO' to just 'M'?) |

I think that needs some special ASM hack inserted to work. You'd probably need to change that JSR address to point to it too. (Shouldn't it be JSL actually? |
)

Actually, it's not quite the same. One way is to change Mario's entrance type to 'Do Nothing (Slippery Level)', and the other is to check the Slippery Level box. (The second way is recommended, since it lets you use other entrance types.) |

Not bad. I'd be a lot more enthusiastic if I had ever, in my life, seen a hack go from 'temporary ice' to 'complete'. |
