Does anybody happen to know how to get graphics from a game(like...i don't know....SM All-Stars or Street Fighter)?

Also,I wanna make a good status bar but,it's hard to use Smallhacker's.Can anybody help me make one that looks like:

"Level Name"
"Mario or Luigi" (Extra Item) "Coins" "Goal Stars"

Short,sweet,and to the point like how i like to call it!


Any help will work thanks

Right, I recently found out how to do exgfx. Not many people like to help but you know...
1) Extract your NORMAL graphics out using LM
2) Open up, say, GFX01.bin (this should be the bin file that holds the koopas and the goombas) in a tile editor, such as TLP.
3) Open up, say, super mario all stars and find the Graphics you want. Say you want a shy guy instead of a goomba. In TLP you can click the shy guy and hold, then drag it over to the Goomba graphic in GFX01.bin, which should still be open.
4) Save the GFX01.bin as ExGFX80.bin into the ExGraphics folder. DO NOT SAVE IT OVER GFX01.bin, or you'll have to import them back from an unmodified rom.
5) open LM, and open your rom. Click import ExGraphics(Or ExGFX) on the file menu, or simply click the mushroom that says 'import exgfx'.
6) Open the level that you would like the graphics to be in.
7) Click 'Level' on the top bar and then click 'Super GFX bypass'.
8) At the bottom of this box, you should have 4 boxes that say 'SP#:#',( # being a number). Out of these 4 boxes (just the ones with SP at the beggining), click the BOTTOM LEFT one, and go down until is says 'SP# :#' I cant rememeber which number comes after the SP for this box, but it is the bottom left one.
9) go down to SP#: GFX80 (or just 80, cant rememeber again!) and click it.
10) Click OK at the very bottom of the Super GFX Bypass.
Right, what this has done is, for this single level, is used the ExGFX you made in place of the ones in the level. It will only happen in this level, so to do multiple levels (but keep the original goomba intact) you must do it again and again, Now say, you place a goomba. It will look like the Shyguy that you placed in.
Yes, the pallette is completely wrong, but you should be able to rectify that using TLP or another tile editor. Just rememeber to open the ExGFX80.bin and SAVE IT AS ExGFX80.bin

So you edited the colours and everything. Rememeber that to do the goomba properly, you must go over both of his graphics in your exgfx, or he will glitch and change from goomba to shy guy to goomba as he walks.

I hope that this helps you. Just remember to SAVE SAVE SAVE, and also SAVE. Before testing that level, save, close LM, open it again and open the rom and the same level as before. If it still looks like the shyguy, it should work. If it doesn't, you didn't concentrate on the instructions.

This hasn't failed me in the last week that I have been able to do it...

I hope it helps.

Smallhacker's is an easy to use tool. I haven't had any problems with it, so I don't think you should either. read the helpfile and keep practising with a copy of your rom. Don't use your main one, as if you do it wrong you may regret it!

When you get good at it, then do it with the actual rom.

Later

Of course it's possible:



Create an ExGFX file for the FG, use the Super GFX Bypass to load that ExGFX file in the fourth slot.

For the Classic Pirhana Plant, do the same. Create an ExGFX file that has the same GFX as what's in SP2, and overwrite the fish with a stem.

By the way, Cjuahfsehfkshfiuhr, you should remove your signature before it gets replaced with an angry message.
