| It's easier to begin messing with MWLs. This is copied and pasted from a PM sent by FuSoYa:
Just the basic outline that I typed out for myself when I made it. It's essentially just a container format, and consists of a header, an optional comment, and the offset/size list that describes where in the file each section of data is and how many bytes it has. The data sections themselves are in the same format as you'd find in the ROM (except for a few extra header bytes). *New MWL format* First two letters are "LM", then 2 bytes (WORD) for version number. 4 bytes for offset of offset table, 4 bytes for size of offset table. 4 bytes extra flags (reserved). Optional Data (comment field) Lunar Magic x.xx ©2000-2003FuSoYa Defender of Relm Now the offset & size pair list (each value is 4 bytes): 1 Level Number + 5 bytes Entrance Data + 17 extra bytes for future stuff 2 layer 1 level data (should have 8 byte header: 4 for flags, 4 for orig ROM address) 3 layer 2 BG/level data ''' 4 sprite data ''' 5 palette data ''' 6 secondary exit list 7 animated data ''' 8 Super ExGFX bypass I needed this back when I in secret was working on a program which converts SMB levels into MWLs. |

Originally posted by Yoshi master True, that would be pretty cool. Really though, would that be so difficult to make? I mean, hasn't enough data on SMB1, SMB2j, SMB2usa and SMB3 already been found? I'll help out with finding level offsets if enough people are interested in giving this new editor SMAS support. Is anybody up for it? |

| If we use Fu's hacks, though, we restrict functionality and run into possible copyright issues.
Also, when values 8-F are the same as 0-7, it means the value is really only 3 bits. |

| ROM hacking doesn't necessarily have anything to do with illegal actions. You can have your own homemade dump and everything's legal. Distribute IPS patches and you won't distribute any of the original ROM either. | |||

| FreeDOS is right. Just because the entire lot of us are a bunch of scofflaws, it doesn't mean that what we do is /inately/ illegal.
That MWL format looks pretty juicy, good post, S Hacker. Do you know the format of the actual level data type stuff inside that file? I'll take a good look inside a file in a few minutes myself. I suspect the actual level data format should be very familiar... EDIT: Okay, looking at the file LM saves when you export level 105 out of an unmodified ROM, which should presumably come out the same for everyone. Want to verify that I'm reading this right... does the layer one data start out "33 40 08 80 27 58 10 BF 77"?

| Copyright issues over ASM hacks for SMW?
riiiiiiiiiiiight. anyways, it shouldn't really be a problem, otherise why would they be made available for everyone to use in their hacks? |

| Well, peter, I don't know much at all about making editors or anything related to the project but, I could test it for bugs and other kinds of glitches. This would rock, I can see it now... Yoshi Master's mario all-stars!... Yeah, that would kick ass...

Originally posted by KailieannOriginally posted by HyperHacker Yeah, it's not likely, but since Fu wrote the code, you never know.  I don't mean like the FBI is going to bust down your door for copying some ASM hacks without permission, but if nothing else Fu may be rather ticked. |

| K, a question for you guys: Is there any point for doing this or what? There should be plenty of resources on this board for making a full-blown editor, but no interest.
With the winter quarter in college about to start, I have just about no time to work on it. |

| To be honest, I htink that most people are too occupied with christmas and their jobs and that... I think there is a lot of interest, but it's just been swept under the table because of the holidays. |
