Level Menu : Add/Modify/Delete Screen Exits

In Super Mario World, every "screen" in a level can have an exit destination, which is used by any exit-enabled pipe or door within that screen. If no exit is set, it will lead to an undefined level, which is usually (but isn't guaranteed to be) level 0 or 0x100. Which is why it's important to remember to use exit-enabled pipes and doors only on screens that have an exit set up.

There are two types of exits you can use. The first type (standard exit) will allow you to specify the level destination and will simply lead to the destination level's main entrance. This is the same entrance used when entering a level from the overworld. The second type (secondary exit) allows you to specify a Secondary Exit Number. This number is used as an index into a table of 0x200 exits stored in the ROM which are available to all levels. While there is only one primary entrance to a level, you can have multiple secondary entrances to the same level.

The first drop-down box in this dialog indicates the screen number of the screen exit you want to examine or modify. If you want to "delete" the exit, then hit the delete button (if the exit doesn’t already exist, this will have no effect). If you instead want to create a new screen exit or change the destination level of one that already exists, then just fill in the Level Destination or Secondary Exit Number and hit ok. You can use the "View Screen Exits" menu command to view the area covered by all the screen exits in the level (or just hit F1).

If the Use the above Value as a Secondary Exit Number option is enabled, the exit for this screen is treated as a Secondary Exit (See the "Modify Secondary Entrances" menu for Secondary Entrance/Exit settings). If it isn't enabled then this is a standard exit, and you can find the settings for it in the "Modify Main and Midway Entrance" menu when you load the destination level in Lunar Magic for editing.

If this exit is a secondary exit, you can also select whether to make the destination level a water level or not.

Note: There used to be an old rule in SMW where levels from 0XX were not able to exit to levels from 1XX and vice versa. This also applied to Secondary Exit Numbers. While Lunar Magic can now modify the ROM to eliminate this limitation, the new behavior is dependent upon Lunar Magic converting the exits in a level from the old style to the new style; the old style exits in unmodified levels still follow the old rule. This means that if you use a new exit to go from one level block to another, and then use an old style exit in that level, the old style exit will unexpectedly divert you back to the original level block. But this can easily be solved simply by resaving the level that contains the old style exit so LM can automatically convert all the old style exits in the level to use the new enhancement.

I finally figured it out no thanks to the flaming rants going on around here. Please be advised that everyone here was a n00b once. And everyone here has made mistakes on these forums on another. I simply see this as a mistake I made for me to mature out of n00bdem
