[quote=asdf][quote=Stifu]And yeah, the game isn't boring... However, the use of the cape, although quite original, is also very restrictive... You can't add extra power-ups, can you ? At least I've never seen anyone do that in their hack, yet it sounds like something everything would want to do...[/quote]

You can, but the problem is, there has yet to be a way worked out for the game to handle more than 4 states (small, large, fire and cape normally). Using a Pro Action Replay or something to change your state into one above that results in a glitched state. Although you can <I>edit</I> powerups, whether it's something as simple as making the fireball go straight or something as complex as the "tornado copter" seen here.

One thing in particular I found wrong (at least, in my eyes >_>)...

Just where are those stairs, anyhow? I wanted to take those stairs, but said stairs don't exist. Lazy freak daughters of wh...but seriously, though, add a stair section in as an alternate route. It would make the level more interesting.

Oh, and if you have the tornado copter and a fire flower in reserve, if you switch to the flower while still holding the spin button down, you'll continue to spin when Fire Mario.

Also, the tornado copter being found only in certain areas is kind of boring for how cool it is. I understand the flying over everything issue, but some things have to come before that. Maybe towards the end of the game...[/quote]

HyperHacker Posts: 3503/5072	Yeah, I think of all the times I've played SMW I've managed to do that maybe twice. It's a well-deserved reward.
asdf Posts: 3366/4077	Originally posted by zztman You see, if you hit the goal tape at the zenith of its scrolling by some miraculous feat of luck and timing, you get 50 stars and a 3-up. The 3-up is somewhat worrisome for people who are trying to limit the earning of extra lives in their hacks, since you can just go back to an easy goal tape and keep trying for the 3-up... unless someone's already figured out how to disable it. It's rather difficult to earn the 3UP though, as you need to hit it at that EXACT moment, unless you use savestates; which in that case you might as well ignore lives and just abuse them as you need to. And seriously, such "OMG HE KIN EARN XTRA LIVES WUT SHLAL I DO?" paranoia needs to stop. Yes, it is a concern, but some people go a little too far with it.
zztman Posts: 6/8	Originally posted by Stifu Originally posted by Sukasa I think it only used to give a maximum of 30 points. Nah, I know for sure you could at least get 40 (possibly 50 ?)... I just goes like 28, 29, 30, 40 straight away, nothing inbetween 30 and 40. Possibly and definitely 50! I've done it a few times before.

Bloodstar Posts: 489/669	Originally posted by ghettoyouth don't use fucking zsnes... Uh, I'll use whatever emulator I want. If the hack totally breaks down in one emulator, I just don't play it. Most of the bugs that may have potentially been caused by ZSNES are extremely minor, and should not warrant an emulator switch. =\
Xkeeper Posts: 4007/5653	Originally posted by HyperHacker Snes9x sucks, and I don't see how ZSnes creates problems like spikes that hurt you from the side and missing goal tapes. Or screwy bonus rooms, etc, etc, etc. The list goes on.

Ailure Posts: 1916/2602	Also the level with the thunderstorm looks neat, but I think it works better if you remove the music... it feels a bit dumb having happy music playing to bad weather.
Sukasa Posts: 1793/2068	Those weren't his point. the spikes hurt mario from their flat sides, and the tape gave mario 50 points at halfway, I think it only used to give a maximum of 30 points.

Ailure Posts: 1915/2602	Well, I played through the first world and it was fine... although the blue cape thing should have a level before or something where using it is totally harmless, like with the cape in orginal SMW. And the Seiken Densutu catgirl clashes in style. :/
Xkeeper Posts: 3986/5653	I don't know, it just seems like if things worked before you screwed with them, and they stopped working afterwards, you should probably consider whatever it is you did broken and probably fix it.
Stifu Posts: 514/647	The real question is: does it not work right because ZSNES has now an incorrect behavior, or because they corrected a wrong behavior you were taking advantage of ? I guess checking whether your hack works the way you want it with bsnes would pretty much determine whether your hack is okay or not.
ghettoyouth Posts: 327/332	he used the latest wip version of zsnes, so it's not my fault...
Stifu Posts: 513/647	Originally posted by Ice Cirvante Part of me wants to say "just use freaking Snes9x", but the other wants to smack ghettoyouth for not making it work correctly in both emulators. If ghettoyouth's hack could work on a real SNES, then it's all good and I support his choice. It doesn't matter whether there are problems with ZSNES, as they'll end up getting fixed. However, if his hack exploits one or more Snes9x specific issues to work correctly, then that's obviously wrong. I actually played the game with ZSNES (recent SVN), and didn't notice any real problem.

Snes9x hasn't given me problems with this hack up until now, but I understand that there are some people who prefer ZSNES, and they deserve our support too, y'know?
Kailieann Posts: 417/808	Originally posted by ghettoyouth don't play my hacks shrug if you insist..
ghettoyouth Posts: 326/332	don't use fucking zsnes...
Xkeeper Posts: 3984/5653	It should also be noted that, outside of the very first level, I ran into no catgirls. This is false advertising. Especially considering he's supposed to be trapped on an island full of them.
Xkeeper Posts: 3983/5653	With all the ASM haxxing he's done, I'm sure he could've fixed something that is a recurring problem in all levels instead of worring about finishing one level for once. Thgat doesn't explain the totally broken fadeout, though.
Stifu Posts: 512/647	Xkeeper: from the known bugs detailed in the readme: "-the color fadeout at the end of a level is messed up. (BMF's fadefix patch don't seem work with my hack )"
