Well, I can't say exactly, since it could be any unused space in any sprite GFX file.

"anything is possible with asm" doesn't translate into "anything is possible with sprite tool". you cannot give mario new powers or change his abilities or behavior with sprite tool. what pikaguy suggested would involve changing a ton of things in mario's code. a lot more than has ever been done.

Wasn't really thinking that all the way through. I forgot how much work something like that would take...

Okay. Like I said, it was an idea.

You can change Mario's behavior with sprite tool and I even could manage to get a working Mario statue with changing graphics and after some seconds they turn back into the normal ones (thanks to Smallhacker, since I didn't get it to work to load the GFX back) and Mario can move again. A generator is used to do it and can be disabled with sprite D9.

I'm thinking about starting up a hack soon, and I'd want to make it a good one. To do that, I'd have to implement some Metroid elements in it. Some elements I cannot implement without the help of sprites, so I'm asking for anybody who could be willing enough to help me.

I'm going to need some things to start with...

-A Metroid-style elevator
-A door (might be done with custom blocks)
-maybe a geemer or shriekbat...

If *anyone* can help out with *any* of these, it would be greatly appreciated, and be given major noticable credit in the game.

I'm having trouble here. None of the sprites are showing up in my game:

1. I typed my rom name then sprites.txt like the readme stated

2. It runs to program and at the end it say "sprites inserted successfuly"

3. Now I open Lunar Magic and followed the readme to insert the sprite (hammer bros). It shows up as yellow Koopa with wings. (the Exgfx isn't inserted, and it's not going to show up correctly in lunar magic, i'll add it once I see if it works) is what i'm thinking

4. I play the game but the sprite show up as yellow Koopa with wings not the hammer bros.

What did I do wrong? If only the readme showed a full example of what EXACTLY to type in the program to get the sprite I wanted......

Go into sprite mode then hit insert, In command put: 0C and in extra info type: 2
Hope that helps.

********************************************************************
* using the sprites
********************************************************************

If everything goes okay when you run the program, you will see a message saying "sprites inserted successfully". The sprites are now inside your ROM, and now it's time to use them. The custom sprites can be inserted with Lunar Magic. To do so, make sure Lunar Magic is in sprite mode. Hit INS to bring up the "Add Sprite Manual" dialog. In the "command" field enter the number of the custom sprite (with the example sprites.txt, 11 if we wanted a birdo, 1A if we wanted a Venus Fire Trap, etc). In the "extra info" field, enter the value 2 or 3 (see below on when to use each value). Do whatever you'd like with the remaining fields and hit ok. In Lunar Magic, the custom sprite will not look any different than the regualr sprite of the same number. For this reason it is useful to view the sprite data, which is easily found in the Lunar Magic menu (View > Sprite Data). X2 or X3 on the top row will indicate a custom sprite.

So what's the difference between the values 2 and 3 in the "extra info" field? Open the .asm file of the sprite (this is just a text file). Near the begining there will be a line reading "Uses first extra bit". For sprites that say "NO", you should always use the value of 2. For sprites that say "YES", there will be a description of a behavior that will be present if the first extra bit is set. You should use the value of 3 if you want this behavior, and 2 if you don't.

Look in the "tilemaps" subdirectory for some graphics files that may help you see the default tilemaps.


Straight copied from the readme.txt.... It explains it very good in my opinion.

I got the Boomerang bros to work, I just don't know how to change(or where to change) the tilemaps so I can make it look like a boomerang bro.

For the 2nd and 3rd shot, looks like the nipper plant changes into a piranha plant after getting a mushroom

The nippers that are coming up are yoshi's island style in that they bounce around. Ghettoyouth was right about the last two screenshots. I've made hungry nippers that change into a piranha plant if they get a mushroom, or a venus fire trap if they get a fire flower. The spiky ball in the first screenshot moves around like the reflecting fireball (found in castles) but has the ability to either hurt mario, or kill sprites, or both.
