Oh yeah, something I forgot to say: Sorry to hear you're sick.

Now, I wouldn't call fireworks our own little piece of Iraq... I call it "our own little DOOMSDAY DEVICE"!

And my patches should be self-explanatory. I mean what would you think Fireball-CapeMario.ips would do eh? Give Koopa super swimming powers?

(Well, how are we supposed to know what the "Secondary Palette" is? That "Shadow Jump" patch you submitted to SMW Central has no real description, so NO ONE but you and Glyph Phoenix are going to know how to work it until someone asks either of you.)

Kailieann, I didn't see that edit until you posted that, okay? Thank you!

Posted on 12-22-06 03:07 PM, in Is it possible to have more Switch Blocks and Giant Switches? Link
Like the title states. If one were to use Custom Blocks and ASM hacks, would it be possible to make a new Giant Switch to activate new Switch Blocks? I want to have at least one Switch Palace be mandatory to beat my hack, but I really don't want to use the current Switch Blocks. I'd rather have a new color instead, so as to not interfere with the other Switches. If that's not possible, would it be possible to make a custom sprite that permanently turned certain blocks into the next Map16 on different levels (Or at least just one specific level) that also ended the level when hit? I'm just trying to find alternatives to the current Switches that DOESN'T involve a P-Switch (The effects of those are never permanent, and I want a permanent effect). Even if it means a sprite that makes a P-Switch appear in another level.

1: Which ones are you talking about? FuSoYa's SMB3 Pipes that you insert with a Hex Editor, or mikeyk's SMB3 Pipes, which you only need to put in BlockTool?
2: What exactly do you mean? Do you mean that LM can't find the ExGFX? Do you mean that you can't find where the ExGFX is? Or do you expect LM to simply automatically have ExGFX in it?
3: For custom backgrounds, simply insert it as an ExGFX file. Easy as that.

1: You need to understand a hex editor to be able to insert them. If you don't... Read KPhoenix's Hex Tutorial.
2: Have you ever read the Sprite Tool readme? It specifically states that you must:
a: Go into Sprite Editing Mode in LM.
b: Press the insert key.
c: In the first box, type the number of the sprite you want (Look in all.txt for those). In the box that asks for a number from 0-3, type 2 if you want the extra bit to not be set, and 3 if you DO want it set (Again, read the readme. Open the .asm file (Sprites directory) of the sprite you want and look at the top. If it says "Uses first Extra Bit: YES", it'll tell you what new behavior this sprite will have. Again, 2 if you don't want this behavior, 3 if you do.
d: Click okay. Now set the sprite where you want it. Just remember that the sprite WILL NOT LOOK RIGHT IN LM! This includes the positioning. Unfortunately, it's hard to judge with looks alone. For example, if you choose Venus Fire Trap as your custom sprite, and the sprite description gives that of a wave-motion Eerie (This is normal, so don't be alarmed), place the sprite a bit below where you'd normally place it. Say you want it to come out of a pipe. Put the sprite right on the left cap of the pipe. Simple.
3: Look at Page 0x4 for the pipes. Keep going until you find them, okay?

Posted on 12-22-06 07:16 PM, in Exactly what blocks are compatible with mikeyk's SMB3 pipes? Link
Like the title says. I want to have a pipe piece that acts like such normally, but when the On/Off flag is set to Off, you can go through the pipe instead. For the most part, it works (you go through the pipe normally), but when you hit the On/Off Switch Block, NOTHING HAPPENS. You STILL stand on the pipe. I have no idea why it won't work. The code of the SMB3 pipes is overriding the code of the Switchable Block On block. How in the world am I going to make my idea work now? I can't even get the Mario-Only Block to work with it! O_o

Oh, if only I had a place to put THAT... Then I'd ask if I could quote that and keep it FOREVER. But, this'll have to do. XD I still don't get why fireworks are illegal here in my state (which would be Georgia)...

Ick. I used to LOVE carbonated beverages, but I don't drink them anymore. Why? Every single time I drink one (even if it's just a tiny sip), I get EXTREMELY sick to my stomach. Sometimes I'll even- Oop, won't go THAT far. Well, you get the idea. If it wasn't for that, I probably wouldn't be drinking such healthy drinks anymore. Usually, all I drink is water, though lately, I've gotten back into O.J. again (and in case you didn't know, that stands for "orange juice". ). Mmmm... Those who say that healthy things taste nasty/disgusting are fools. Sure, SOME healthy things taste bad, but not orange juice, broccoli, spinach, cucumbers, and other things. They're all healthy, but I love them so. In fact, cucumbers are my favorite food, right alongside... PIZZA.

Haircut? Hah! I hate those things. Especially when my dad does it. He once cut my ear while trying to cut my HAIR. Basically, go in for a haircut, come out with an EARCUT.

I can't think of a single store around here that closes for Christmas (besides post offices and the like- Those ALWAYS close for the holidays). I'd actually be surprised if places like Toys 'R' Us are closed. I'm sure some people are going to return a few gifts....

You might want to discuss that with a doctor. Too much will make you sick but a small drink shouldn't.

Well, I haven't exactly seen my doctor in a year or so... Still, I drink HEALTHY drinks now, so I really don't see any point in seeing a doctor about something I'm never going to drink again no matter what. Even if I COULD drink them without any adverse effects on me, I STILL wouldn't drink them again. Orange juice and water are enough for me now.

If you ask me, it looks kinda realistic as far as cartoon-ish things go. Though, what exactly is it? XD Sorry if that insults you, but I've never been able to tell what something is just by looking at it (That is, what/who it's supposed to represent...).

I got 44wpm. If there's one problem that REALLY makes me bad, it's that I can't do something with my hands without looking at it. Then there's the fact that when I clicked the button, it didn't really register that I did so. XD I tried to get another one, but when I saw what it was, I thought, "No way am I going to type THIS!". Oh, and just so you know, I type VERY fast, but I make MANY mistakes, which I always go back and check for before (I do whatever it is I do with it). Plus, if a mistake DOES happen to escape me, I ALWAYS make sure I fix it (if I can, of course). I'm somewhat spell-check-happy. But I surprise many with my typing speed, for some reason...

That's where recycling comes into play. Just reuse a old one -- opinions on the matter will change after a year or two

Really? I've noticed an increased shortage in topics to post in lately... Most of the time I come here, I post in whatever threads I post in, and there aren't any new replies until many hours later. O_o I've also been wondering why boards are generally a lot more active around midnight... Some people have a LOT of time on their hands (Even more than me! O_o)... But still, you'd think that there'd be a lot of people posting now that schools are out for winter break...

What's so great about autoscroll?

To me, it just tends to make levels less fun. I guess it's just me, but those levels are almost always my least favorite, even on the official games. Unless they move real fast.

Autoscroll is good to increase the difficulty, but I've found that the highest speed is too fast. So fast, in fact, that it eventually overtakes you and you can't get ahead of it! O_o Still, add in a continuous Bullet Bill generator with the Medium speed, and you've got a good area. Just... Slow speed is good for those mazes, but... Make one mistake, and POOF! Minus one life for you.

In short, autoscrolls make hacks better if you use them the right way. Maybe that's why you hate them. Or maybe it's because of the thing that's taking the minds of all children in this world: THE NEED FOR SPEED. (No pun intended.) Seriously, people these days want to go faster, faster, faster, faster, FASTER! It drives me crazy! I like fast things, too, and I hate things too slow, but I only hate the autoscroll when it's on the highest speed.

So, again I ask you, KoT (Easier to type than Knight of Time, huh?), any chances of you releasing your YI ExGFX yet?

Maybe, maybe not. It's not JUST keyboards that I do that for. Why, the last time I took a driving "lesson" (I say that in quotation marks because my parents are teaching me), I accidentally swerved into the opposite lane when I tried to shift gears! See, I can't tell where anything is without looking at it, so when I looked down at the gear stick... Well, let's just say it's a good thing there were no cars near me...

I don't think keyboard lessons can help me. Why, I do GREAT on a keyboard (I'm not using a laptop right now, mind you) even though I tend to take quick glances at the keyboard when I type a new word! I just look, put my fingers above each key, and press! What's weird, I can "see" the word as I type it. I wonder how my brain is able to spell out words by looking at keyboard keys while I think about them or type them...?

As for being on an actual keyboard, I think it'd depend on your laptop keyboard. My laptop (which doesn't have internet access or even COLOR) has the "mouse" button right in the middle of the keys, so it's hard for me to type... Like I said, it depends on your keyboard on your laptop.

I'm actually quite happy with my typing speed right now. Like everyone said, we're all much better typing what we're thinking of, not copying something else.

Oh darn. Nevermind. I know what it means now. It means the part at the top bar (the one that says YY-CHR and has that 6-digit hex number). XD And I've been mentioning that every time someone has a problem with getting savestate tiles to appear right in YY-CHR! XD

Thanks much. Hmmm... But this is weird. AllGFX.bin only goes up to 034D00. How exactly am I supposed to get to the value now?

Edit: Wait a minute... THERE'S ONLY 1 SET OF 00'S BETWEEN EACH VALUE! Why did you add an extra one onto it? That'll throw people off WAY too much, like you did me! O_o Oh well. No biggie. Just as long as people look themselves, they won't have any problems...

Green-Kirby, you REALLY should try to make the blocks you get from MZM look as much like them as possible, with the exception of palettes and colors used.

Kawa, what exactly IS OpenPoke? (Get onto me about not using the alt code to put the tilde above the "e", and I'll get upset. Plus, I don't even remember what it is... ) Is it a hack of FireRed/LeafGreen?

I believe Alastor/Dalek was talking about those illegal fireworks you see now and then. I don't know any offhand, but I know some exist.

And pikaguy900 meant that they are illegal in Gerogia, like a state law or something.

So in a way, you doubt correctly.

I believe they are only illegal if you get them from Alabama (they're sold legally there, but it's against the law to buy fireworks in Alabama and take them back to Georgia. Then again, you DO see fireworks and the like being sold in stores across Georgia around the 4th of July, so I guess they're only illegal if you buy them in another state and bring them here. Or maybe it's that it's illegal to fire off fireworks after buying them in another state. I don't remember. XD).
