| I would like to point my SMB hacking document which details the level data format, enemy data format, and how pipes work. http://dahrkdaiz.panicus.org/smb.txt I had a lot of data back when I worked on Mario Seasons, maybe I'll find that data again and post it here  |

| This is something that many new rom hackers don't realize about games: you can't add things to the rom just like that. Why? It works like this. Lets say you have a long row of cup holders. Lets say, 100. Now pretend 75 of those cup holders have cups in them and there's a list showing who's cup is in which holder, but the thing is, there can't be anyspaces between cups, i.e, all empty holders must be at the end of the row. Now, if you want to insert a new cup in the middle of the row, then you have to move all the cups past the point you want to add a new cup at down 1 holder and update the list of names who have cups in this row. Now, if all the cup holders are full and you want to add a cup, what can you do? You can take the cup thats in the holder you want to put the new cup in and trash it and replace it with your new cup. Now whoever's cup that was will be pissed when they go to find that they're cup isn't there. This works the same in nearly NES game editors. You're restricted to the number of bytes you can fill up. You can't tack on more bytes like with SNES. Some game editors will allow you to add something and move the rest of the bytes down and update pointers (analogous to the list of names of people with cups in the row). However, SMB3 doesn't work like this. Using free form mode, you basically take a copy of the row (the level your editing) and do what you want to it. However, when you go to save, if your new level is larger than before, it will overwrite another level's data and the bytes will NOT be shifted down. You must make sure the size of the level is the same or less to prevent this problem. Another solution is to just make all your levels from scratch, but that requires tedious pointer calculations and keeping track of them yourself, but the benefits out weigh the tediousness. | |||

I'd say making levels of equal size or less is your best bet. It's safer and easier. Remember, this applies for enemy data size too, so be cautious and good luck!  Edit: And for reference, when trying to figure a next level's offset, you'd take the level size and add 10 (decimal) and the end result would be the offset for your next level. For enemy, take the enemy data size and add 2, this will be the next offset to start saving enemy data. You can find the size of enemy data and level data in Level Properties.

Originally posted by Tuvai Something I've noticed throughout most debates (I haven't read most of this thread's yet) is that "man marrying a man" is wrong. Yet, the idea of a woman marrying a woman doesn't seem as hotly debated. Or is it just coincidence that most people use the term "man marrying another man"? When the idea of pedophiles, beastiality, and other taboo sexual fetishes out there come up, they're usually associated with gay men. This seems like a mute point, but I'm sure a lot of guys (and don't flame me denying it) fantasize about "girl on girl action", yet the idea that there's "guy on guy action" is just plain repulsive to you. My point? It seems that it's more acceptable to be be a bisexual/gay woman than it is a man. What it seems like to me is that by wanting to prevent gay marriages, there's a hope to make it go away. Sorta like seeing a snake, you know it's there, you can't make it go away, but if you hold your ears and close your eyes, you can forget its there. Sort of how gays are in society. They've made an impact on American culture now and by allowing them to legally marry would seem to most a step into the direction in which they won't "go away". Preventing the marriages is a way to hold your ears and close your eyes. To those who say that "God didn't intend it that way". God also said that you're not supposed to masturbate, have sex before marriage, cheat, or even wear clothing of two fabrics, but you don't see laws preventing that (well in most states). "Marriage is a holy matrimony", but is it? What about marriages in other, non-Christian cultures? Oh yeah, it exists. If they don't hold marriage to the same holiness and the same God, does this mean it's diteriating the meaning of marriage? Ya know, marriage isn't an eccelestial concpet thought up by the heavens, it's a human created concept. |

| I had this nick back when I played Quake 3 on Dreamcast. I was pretty sad at the time and I was listening to Linkin Park, so I thought it was "OMG KOOLZ". So when I got my PC, I just stuck with it. | |||

Originally posted by Legion What makes homosexuality any different then? The Bible is the word of God and thus, God would not change his mind to reflectg modern times. Homosexuality is first condemned in the OT, so why didn't that rule become obsolete? Jesus himself NEVER condemned homosexuality. To me, God, if there is such a thing, loves EVERYONE, not based on miniscual sexual preferences. If your God can condemn someone for being attracted to someone, then your God isn't perfect after all  (edited by DahrkDaiz on 03-18-04 06:05 PM) |

Originally posted by Jarukoth Do you know WHY there are terrorist attacks? It's because of political and religious bullshit.

| Ok, I figured this needed to be brought up. Before anyone asks if there's a game editor, try doing a bit of research. http://www.zophar.net http://www.romhacking.com http://www.dragoneyestudios.net http://www.cg-games.net are your best chances of getting any editor of any game out there. If those don't have what you're looking for, then try Google. If all else fails, look for hacks of the game you're looking for. If there's no hacks of it, that means there's 99.99% chance that the editor you want does NOT exist. I figured these tips and doing a little search can save the board from getting slaughtered with more "is there a *insert game* editor" threads. | |||

| Like ChaosForce, I had been an avid reader of EGM. One day I saw a little box talking about Challenge Games. I had been obsessed that I could play modified NES games ever since (ironically, I got a taste of rom hacking before emulation XD), and to SMB3C, I had to get into emulation, and the rest, as they say (and CF says) is history.

| I broke the tie! omg! I like the raccoon tail better because you have more control of your flight. You can change direction, go lower, then higher, actually, well, fly! The cape is just gliding across the stage *yawn*. | |||

I felt as if MK D was a disappointment, not for the double player aspect, but the restrictions on moving over the track. You couldn't throw players off the tracks and stuff, which was a major factor in MK64. |

| I guess this is a good place to say that there is, indeed, a Ms. Pacman (namco version) editor out there (and I'm not talking about that online crap I did). It's not publically released yet, but should be if I ever decided to work out that 1 last problem |

| Zombies != scariest creatures for a video game. Doom 64, with it's ambient music, Satanic monsters and demonic graphics, scared me more than any RE game ever did. I'm glade RE has moved away from the zombie bit. If you want rehashed Capcom games, stick with MegaMan |

| My favorite old school was MM3, but the one with the best gfx imo is either 4 or 5. Six was just old and rushed and way too easy. My absolute favorite now though is Mega Man Zero 2. God, gotta love that game . |
