Was at play practice, and a 100 lb. platform of solid, hard, evil wood (about 4x8x1ft) fell into my head from about 10 ft up. I escaped without a concussion but only barely... god that hurt. Was dizzy for a week and a half, my neck hurt, and skin was torn. I have a scar and a permanant indention in my skull.

Woohoo.

This is only what I've done so far, but I wanted to get some ideas out in the public before some one else thinks them up.

This hack will be a version of Super Metroid that is ridiculously hard and well hidden, but any decent Metroid player should be able to figure it out. There is going to be a lot of those "Now how the hell am I gonna do that?" moments in the game (but there will be PLENTY of hints, plus I'm going to include a complete Walkthrough/FAQ).

While not much has been hacked just yet, I have completely drawn out the design and made notes, because I like to be organized.

This will not be a story based hack, but a gameplay oriented one (a rather large puzzle, if you may.)





This area is obviously Brinstar, which will be seperated into 2 shafts (not unlike Metroid 1) one pink fungus (as shown) and the other the original blue Brinstar.

I hope to bring some challenges and original ideas to the Super Metroid scene, because this great game deserves it.

Any questions?

Yeah, I used to have a little synthesizer that picked up a Christian radio station through its speakers. Creeped me out, randomly hearing "AND GOD WILL STRIKE UPON THEE" right before I'd turn it off.

Yes, you get 3 different suits, the one pictured replaces the varia suit...
the other two haven't been fully colored yet, because I haven't quite decided on their colors..

And yes, you start with the X-Ray and Grapple.

The thing about the x-ray is, it was in there early so I could check around and make sure I didn't make any design mistakes (i.e. any accidental shotblocks or non-solid tiles) but then I thought about just leaving it there. It might be removed, but for now its staying.

Edit: To answer the character question, no, there isn't a new character. This isn't a story based hack (maybe later on, but not for now.) I did it because I thought a black suit looked cool. Sorry if ya don't like it...but it doesn't affect gameplay.

Thanks for the encouragement.

News on project:

X-Ray Goggles removed completely (they will not be attainable in the game. I decided I hate them, because it takes out any mystery to hidden puzzles.) I found out its more fun to make you use bombs to detect block type, so Akane-Chan was sorta right in his idea.

Redesign needed, in my graph, several parts turned out to be a unit size too tall, so about half of the planned areas are out of place . Fixable, but I may not be satisfied.

More screenshots by this weekend.

Some stuff posted on D.E.S. Rom hacking forum:

Super-Advanced maneuvers (boost-ball, mid-air dashes, ball-bounces) will NOT be required to complete this game. People who are able to do that will have some minor advantages:

1. Sequence breaking will be possible (and encouraged.. evil-grin goes here)
2. Shortcuts
3. A few missile packs/luxury items that are unavailable otherwise
4. Maybe an easter egg or two

I PROMISE this will not be a hack that promises a lot but never delivers. I'm busting my ass to ultra-OCD levels on this..

See you next update,
BlackDays

EXCELLENT demo, Dhark. A few bugs here and there, but I won't bother to mention them as they have already been mentioned.

The only problem is that there isn't enough time to sit back and admire the handiwork.

Bleh, only 82 wpm with 1 error (semicolon..)

Could have done it faster had I not worried about spelling Eutrophication right. I spelt that world super slow on that one (Finland Fishing one,) yet when I typed it here I didn't even have to think about it to get it right.

Posted on 07-06-04 10:45 AM, in Useful resources for SMW hackers Link
Sorry if I am a bit off topic, I don't feel like making another thread just for this---

Just for the sake of putting this back on the lists somewhere:

I read a few discussions on how to get SMB3 music in your hack, and most of them involved directly patching the SDW3 IPS file to a blank one and starting from there. That is just silly. As a community, do we forget how to do things that quickly?

To do this, take two blank SMW ROMs, and your hacked ROM.

1.) Patch one blank ROM with the Super Demo World 1 IPS and then patch the other with the Super Demo World 3 IPS.
2.) Use Lunar IPS to create an IPS patch using the SDW1 patched rom as the original, and the SDW3 and the modified ROM.
3.) Viola! You have your music-only SMB3 patch.

If I had misread that thread and they indeed did know how to do this, sorry for repeating it again.

Pretty nice work there...

My only complaint is that I was gonna use Koopa Beach in my hack... ah well... I'll figure something else out.

DOWNLOAD LINK HERE!!!
Right Click, Save As

Rename this to a ZIP file, not an IPS!

IT IS WORTH NOTING THE FOLLOWING

This hack is locked. You will be shunned from the community for violating this lock. I've seen it happen before. Think before you act!

Things you should not comment on when commented on this hack:

The waterfall on the overworld, I know this, but I didn't have enough time to make this release contain the fix.

The background on mushroom heights. I lost my BG file for that when I accidently saved over it. That was a mistake. Sorry.

The background on the underground levels. I am aware that they suck. I again didn't have time to make them. I set my release date too soon, and to meet my date, I had to deprioritize some GFX and prioritize a few major bugs I found.

The graphics of the trees on the overworld. I forgot to implement them before making the IPS patch. As they do NOT affect gameplay, they will not be uploaded with another file.

The overworld event graphics. I am very much aware that when the events happen, the graphics are a little fudged up. I know that some of them are glitchy as well. This can't be fixed for this release.

Any comments regarding this stuff will be ignored.

You may comment on:

The playability.
The replayability.
The ExGFX and BGs other than noted above
The level structure.
The difficulty.
Questions about how to beat something, the easiest way to beat something, or how the hell you are supposed to get the secret levels.
Anything I didn't mention in the above section.

Notes/Credits

Most of the levels contain original art work, none of them contain the regular SMW artwork (Besides the overworld.) I did 95% of the artwork present in this hack, KT15X and Skateboarder11 ripped the SMB3 Grassland Tileset featured in 2 or 3 levels. (The pipes are featured in ALL levels...) Much of the art was inspired by (NOT ripped from) SMB3. Grassland tileset is it. The rest I did myself in YY-CHR and Photoshop 7.

I will NOT be uploading my ExGFX for any reason. You may NOT rip graphics from this hack. These were made with my own hard work and not yours, so don't even THINK about stealing them.

This hack features music from the SMB3 portion of SM All Stars (thanks to Bouche.)

This hack features many Custom Blocks (thanks Jonwil.)

Special Thanks to FuSoYa.

Feel free to comment, insult, critique, or base your midlife crisis on my hack.

Thanks,
-BlackDays

Never mind. Jeez... too much trouble... just look for PSP 3.11 if the new versions don't have the Zsoft Paintbrush PCX... I'm not too sure how that all works...

In any case, 3.11 works like a charm for me.

Thanks for the compliments and criticisms..

I forgot to mention that the back grounds were not finished, so they probably look like crap. I'll take all of these comments under consideration, thanks a lot.

I'll update this topic when I get the BGs finished and the overworld a little more... whatever.

Yeah, I like cows

I'm working on the BGs and overworld as I type, I decided to give the overworld a complete overhaul (had ExGFX waiting...) and get it done now instead of later.

there was a screenie of the title screen. Nothing too fancy... yet..

my work on the BGs and Overworld was delayed due to my g/f.

Thank you once again for the comments, I will take them all under serious consideration!
