| That's pretty good for Bryce. I bought Bryce years ago (before P2P) and though pretty expensive at the time, it was worth it. I've never used it for too much other than landscapes and the like. If you can do something as nice as that in Bryce, you should do fantastically in better 3D rendering programs. |

| I loved the 3D incarnations of Mario, but I like the 2D versions the best. Animation and art just seems better expressed in 2D flat images. | |||

| SnoBro has the source for TileMolester up for download: http://www.stud.ntnu.no/~kenth/tm/ And also his XORcyst project: http://www.stud.ntnu.no/~kenth/xorcyst/index.htm That's all I could find. Did SnoBro ever make game specific level editors? (edited by Chickenlump on 06-05-05 03:36 AM) |

| No, there really was a world map editor for this game, and the author of the editor went by the nick of 'Sludge' if memory serves. It had a strange gui at first, then it became awesome, then he dissapeared. He also had some info on the enemies in a document on his site. Maybe I still have this thing on one of my CD's littering my desk... *searches* --edit-- I'm pretty sure this is the last publicly released version of it he released. Marionator, the super mario advance 4 ROM editor Version 0.065 Created by Sludge http://www.geocities.com/chickenlump/marionator.zip --edit #2-- I found that enemy data I was talking about earlier, it's just a copy and past from his old site though. ________________________________________________________ Code: 030046C4:XXXX Super mario advance 4 enemy listing: 00: - 01: - 02: UO (fountain) 03: UO (fly half circle down left-right) 04: UO (stationary + jumpkill) 05: UO (turning + jumpkill) 06: Noteblock (forces mario up-down) 07: - 08: - 09: Doomship anchor 0A: 3-up moon 0B: 1-up mushroom 0C: Invincibility star 0D: Power mushroom 0E: UO (falling + boomerang sound) 0F: UO (crashes game) 10: Magikoopa 11: Magikoopa's magic 12: Big boo 13: Wiggler 14: UO 15: UO 16: UO 17: UO (jump paralyze, grab) 18: - 19: Fireflower 1A: SMW key 1B: Noteblock 1C: UO 1D: SMB1 rising platform 1E: Raccoon leaf 1F: Growing beanstalk 20: SMB1 falling platform 21: UO (powerup?) 22: UO (powerup?) 23: UO (powerup?) 24: UO 25: - 26: Wooden platform (jump -> left) 27: Wooden platform left-right 28: Wooden platform up-down 29: Spike 2A: Walking spikeball piranha 2B: Kuribo goomba 2C: UO 2D: Big fish (world 3-3) 2E: Rising platform (bowser's castle) 2F: Boo 30: Walking candle flame 31: UO 32: UO 33: Nipper 34: UO (changes level background) 35: UO (game gets stuck) 36: Wooden platform (jump -> fall) 37: Wooden platform left-right 38: Wooden platform up-down 39: Nipper 3A: UO 3B: Cheep cheep (world 3-2) 3C: UO 3D: Fire spitting nipper 3E: Wooden platform drifting 3F: Dry bones 40: White block thrower 41: Card slotmachine 42: Cheep cheep pond leap right 43: Cheep cheep pond leap left 44: UO (looks like wooden platform) 45: UO (walks random) 46: Spikeball piranha stationary 47: - 48: UO (floats right + jumpkill) 49: - 4A: Fortress ?

| I tend to download and archive everything I come across, like editors and documents, etc.. I had Sludge's site bookmarked for the longest time last year, untill now I had forgotten all about it. I don't remember the original name for the program, because the name Marionator came with the version I uploaded I beleive (I don't have the older versions of it). |

| Give it a name that has nothing to do with the hack, to make it stand out. Super Luigi's Land of Great Big Nasal Passages. Luigi's Quest For the Holy Mole - E. Britney's Dance Beat. Mario's Brother's Quest. .. Just go crazy!  Those were based off of what I thought your story was about. Remember to name me in the credits in your hack when you use one of those. Those took forever to think up.  |

| A/C and fan combinations. The A/C keeps it cool, but it doesn't give off the right type of "hum" to put me to sleep, so before bed, I turn off the A/C and turn on the fan. | |||

| I love the Illusion of Gaia game, it's one of my favorites. I may take a peek at it and eventually make an enemy editor or something ( I like making enemy stat editors ). It may be quite a ways a way though, I'm in the middle of a Secret of Mana enemy stat editor. I really should play Soul Blazer and Terranigma though, I've heard they are pretty good. |

Originally posted by Xenesis Xenon You post the game you want to have the graphics to show up in, and I'll post a step by step instruction with pictures on how to get them to appear, possibly with the correct colors. Giving up and going back to a FAR inferior program will really hinder you, though it's ultimately your choice. Tile Molester is, in my opinion, one of the very best tile editors available. If you plan on editing graphics alot, then I must advise you to really give it a go and try to learn it. Once you get the basics down, like getting the graphics to show up, aligned, and importing palettes to make the colors perfect, you'll be hooked. |

| To edit compressed graphics, you must decompress them using a program that does that for you. A program written to decompress the file just like the game system does when it uses the information. If it is compressed, you could track down the decompression routine in the rom, and sort of write a windows program that does the same thing, outputting to a file. Check out Lunar Compress, perhaps one of it's decompression routines will work for your game, or maybe be similar enough to change one of them yourself to work for your game (it's open source). If none of that works, you can't program or get someone else to do it for you, all I can reccomend is wait for something to come out eventually, start learning, or try another game. :/ http://fusoya.panicus.org/lc/index.html If my explanation sounds wonky, it's because I've never written a decompressor/compressor for ROM files. It sounds about right though.. |

Originally posted by KefkaHowever, there is one thing I must add to this: if you really consider yourself a rom hacker, and want an editor for a certain game, then go find the data and write the damned editor yourself instead of whining at other people for not releasing one! It really is annoying. I completely agree. Finding data in ROMS is REALLY easy. There are so many ways to go about it, some easier than others. Study up on all the different ways of data finding and dive in head first. The very least that could possibly happen is that you learn something, get better and more skilled, and have fun doing it. Time spent learning and exploring isn't wasted time by any means. It took me all of 10 minutes to find enemy stats for the Secret of Mana, on a whim, and I don't consider myself anywhere near 1st class ROM Hacker material. Anyone can do it. Also, finding data and making it public may lead to someone with free time and programming skills that may be willing to take up such a project, all they would have to do is code it providing all relevant information and data is present. I'm sure the other 2 games in the series are really great and better than IOG, but It's one of those games that I grew up playing, and nastalgia has a hold of me. *chickenlump looks over at his coveted guilty pleasure ATARI E.T. game cartridge* (edited by Chickenlump on 06-14-05 08:31 PM) |

| This is the fames Super Mario Advance (2? 3?) World Map editor that was posted before the board crash. Welcome back sludge, not too long ago, I uploaded the older version for people to download, everyone thought it was gone forever, with your web page. Now that the new version is out, I can take it down.  |

Originally posted by sludge Yeah, because of the crash, alot of people never got to see your program, and it sort of became a myth.  I had your site bookmarked for the longest time, and didn't find out it was gone untill that thread. The new version is great, btw. Do you happen to remember the original name for it? I don't think it always had the name Marionator... My memory may be faulty though, which is the case 90% of the time.  |

| Some crappy notes I made earlier while looking for (and finding) some location map data. It is fully laid out in RAM and compressed slightly in ROM. I just thought I'd toss this out for anyone wanting to play around with it. I plan on extending and better documenting it at a later time of course. This data is for an unheadered ROM. I'm not sure where it begins exactly (yet) but here is what I have so far... Maps are done in rows from left to right in layers - This covers Layer 1 7F0621 - This is the top of the elder's house in Potos Village in RAM D23F5 - This is the top of the elder's house in Potos Village in ROM It reads 01 12 13 12 13 12 14 in RAM It reads 01 12 13 E8 82 14 E0 in ROM Each tile has a solitity property assigned with it (among other properties). |

| I've never dealt with compression before (other than Temporal Flux's decompressor). Lunar Compress has an entry for SoM, the title screen is compressed with one of it's entries. I'll see if it is the same compression scheme a bit later. I also came across some sort of location map header (I'm not sure what to call it really). $A933F - Music byte for Potos Village $A9340 - Fade out time for previous song and echo effect of currnet song $A9341 - Music volume (also seems to affect which instruments get played as well) $A9343 - Event after music fades upon entering location $A9344 - Also an event byte upon entering location |

| Alot of hackers here assume EVERYONE knows about Lunar Magic if they know of ROM Hacking. The closest thing to a 3D editor that I have ever used has been UnrealEd, the editor that usually ships with Unreal, and many of it's offshoots. It was easy to use, advanced and not too simplistic. Great work on what you have done so far, I had never played F-Zero X before now (I have heard of it, just never thought about playing it.. ). Every bit as cool as Mario 64 editing. |

| Ooohh...barbie pink.... Actually, what's there is pretty nice, other than the colors.  If you do have floaty swatches, transparency wouldn't be bad, but I think having the swatch like windows roll up into their titlebars or minimize to... somewhere else untill needed would be better than trying to look through them to see what's under them. |
