Posts: 135/876		 Hmm. I wonder, even though Blocktool has no support for the extra offsets, could you manually repoint them to act like existing offsets (for example, set the top left and right edges to act like "above") without any trouble? This would fix a few noticeable block problems, like hurt blocks that let you stand on the edges.

I think FuSoYa would someday implement the diagnols and centers.
If you check out the map16 gameplay section, you see he left a few extra places which say "reserved for future use." He says that they aren't as commonly used in the games, and he may or may not someday add them.
This is like, exactly what the IPS I posted is supposed to do. (I think)

Anyways, Sukasa, how are the reloc offsets going to work?
I want to add a lot of blocks into one file depending on it's properties to save space.

Posts: 65/218		 You see, I knew that at least someone probably wouldn’t like my layout, so I made this thread in Modern Art, but then no one posted in it, so I wasn’t sure if everyone loved it, if it was so bad that no one even wanted to talk about it, or if everyone on the board just happed to miss it….

Posts: 159/656		 This would totally kick ass. The existing blocktool is stopping me from doing some... things with my hack. Important, absolutely vital things.

And Unsurpassed Darkness, what's with the ### username and the sucky layout? I much preferred the Shadow one...

Unless of course you're not him and are simply linking directly to a file on his site. Riiiight.

Posts: 50/218		 I think FuSoYa already made a patch for that though, I’ll upload it so you can check it out.

Edit: Okay, I’m not sure if this is what that does or not, it might be something entirely different; I don’t know because I have no idea what the readme is talking about.

Posts: 49/218		 Make sure that in this block tool you can set the diagonal and center offsets, okay?

Posts: 506/5072		 Pretty sure, but that was quite a while ago. I don't think I even have that ROM anymore.

Also, have you even considered that stack-manipulation idea to be able to call them with JSR instead of JSL? Just want to know if it's doable. I forget how exactly you do it, I'd have to look it up; I think it involves pushing/popping before/after you make the call.

Posts: 387/1796		 Here is the SMB1 style brick. Instructions on how to put it together are inside.

HH, are you sure the offsets are in the correct area, and the "block acts like" setting is 132?

Posts: 482/5072		 I never got that SMB3 brick to work right anyway. I set it up right but half the time it'd smash if I hit it from the top or sides.
spel werdz rite
Posts: 380/1796		 I would, but I don't want to recreate the entire smb3.bin file for just one block.
I added a new JMP in the original file without the POW settings and redid the relocs.

Posts: 85/1209		 you just need to remove the part where its check the 'blue switch is pressed' flag, its normally do with the smb3 brick (so you can't break the coin its become)

You mean like the Yoshi Coin problem?
Another fault is FuSoYa's SMB Smashable Brick. If you set it to act like 130 (SMB1 style) and you hit a Blue POW, it becomes completely solid. I fixed it a while ago, I'll go find it.

You can't just randomly change 60 to 6B. It could be data or part of another instruction.
Of course I'll read which ones stay and which ones change.
The reloc offsets (which woot! I finally understand) will help me figure out how to do them.

Posts: 469/2068		 And that is why I didn't want to start changing blocks. To try to trace some of them... *Shudder* That would take forever.
