...and SABS is obsolete

Here's what's new:
1) Loads and loads of bug fixes.
2) A back up and recovery system! Each time you exit SMILE, a back up is made with just you most recent changes (to keep the files small). If an irrecoverable error happens, you can walk through the recovery system to fix it, losing only a small amount of work. How is this done?
3) IPS is now supported. You can create a patch, apply a patch, or apply an entire folder of patches! Thanks to FuSoYa, because it's his dll that's doing the bulk of the work.
4) Text editing . . . SABS handled green intro text. SMILE handles that, plus area names, bomb texts, and my own text engine (not released publically yet, but it will be).
5) Samus palette editing . . . SABS handled some of this. SMILE handles *all* of this. You can even make new fade effects! Other palettes can be edited with this as well.
6) Game properties . . . Some that were only in SABS, some that SABS never had.

I am forgetting some things, I'm sure. Just rest assured that this release is big. I've also included some small IPS patches for the public to use:
1) clearmem.ips - needed in order to make the other two work correctly
2) gravity.ips - allows you to adjust gravity in individual rooms
3) torizo.ips - allows bomb torizo to activate on any item pick-up, not just bombs... X/Y are no longer based on the hardcoded values, but rather wherever you place it in SMILE.

Lunar Magic is the sole reason there are an infinite amount of idiots a couple forums down trying to figure out how to get external graphics/SMB3 music/block x/"asm haxor" into their hack. SMILE is anti-n00b, and has no "do my hack for me" button. Why the hell are you comparing the two?!

Because I have An Opinion Like I stated.
Both can alter a massive amount of the ROM.

He was referring to the good parts of LM - the power, the ease of use, stuff like that.

Yes!!! I was yesterday thinking of a different Samus palette editor, and this comes out the next day!

>and has no "do my hack for me" button.

Believe it or not though, this has been recommended to me on several occassions Don't worry, it's not coming.

As for being anti-n00b, that's not true . . . For instance, (everyone should do this, at least once) in Preferences, try to disable BackUps.

"do my hack for me" button. Oh those were the days on IRC. I'll check this out.

By the way, in the next few months, I should be able to get on IRC again.

A bug in the text editor has been pointed out to me.
I've decided that I must move the location of torizo.ips (for anyone who's using it already, sorry... I'll make an undo patch for you if needed).
Gravity and Varia now appear as they should (Item/Value).

^--- All this is leading me to believe that I'll be doing version 1.1 sooner than expected (say, in a week or two).

hey I noticed another, after you get the bombs and blast the wall and head down the slope, wherer you get the E, when I enter the next room after this room even though I edited nothing in it, it locks up and don't proceed to it.

Also where is the JTE.ips for the text engine in the text editor at?

...domino effect...

1) Room freeze ups - SMILE does some messed up stuff sometimes and this happens, sadly. If you had edited a few rooms, but had been openning/closing SMILE at all, you should have some back-ups . . . Never a better time to test out the recovery system than when you only have a little bit changed:-D

2) JTE.ips - This doesn't exist yet. I've got most of the ASM done for this and only need to put in some dummy graphics for most of the text to work. Still a bug or two to work out though. The patch should be available with SMILE's next release (possibly before).

3) Path Not Found - When exactly is the error popping up? Have you seen the box coming up asking for the clean rom? Have you seen the box thanking you for it after? What about asking for the ROM you wish to edit? I'm guessing it happened immediately upon starting the program and before anything else popped up though . . . Only things that come to mind right now...... You unzipped all the contents? What folder did you unzip them to? If there are any unusual characters in the path (or an unusually long path) there might be a conflict of some sort. Don't know too much of what to tell you, except that I can troubleshoot more with answers to those questions.

Who pissed in your wheaties?

Lunar Magic only got a bad repuation because it's easy to use and really fucking powerful. LM can probably make the most advanced hacks not requiring ASM on the user's part out of any editor so far, too...

On topic, good job Jathys, and good luck getting those bugs fixed

Something most people don't realize (because most people don't read) . . . Check your SMILE folder . . . See "Lunar Compress.dll" in there? There's a reason. SMILE uses the same DLL for decompression/compression and IPS's.

Jathys does this help out any it doesn't matter where I extract it I still get the same problem. I never had a problem with the other versions of smiles.

MadMike: That tells me what path it is, but I still don't know when the pop-up is appearing. Is it *immediately* as you start the program? Did you ever get asked for the clean rom? Is is when you choose the rom you will edit? etc....
